🎲Why US Markets Are Still the Best Game in Town

Good morning. Between inflation at 40-year highs and two quarters of negative GDP growth...
It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Between inflation at 40-year highs and two quarters of negative GDP growth, investors in the US are dealing with some tough times. But compared to the rest of the world, the US looks like one of the strongest places to invest now.

Europe is likely in a recession, and its energy shortage due to Russian sanctions will only make it deeper. In contrast, the US has the capacity to be energy independent. The US is also food independent, at a time when grain shipments from Ukraine have finally started up again.

This Cyclical Market Will Come Roaring Back with the Rest of the Economy

Some companies are slow and steady, like utility and telecom companies. But many, if not most, are cyclical. They tend to move higher with the economy, and lower when the economy slows. That can include everything from cars to entertainment services.

It can also include many business service companies as well. One of the first things a company will cut back on during a slowdown is advertising. Over the long term, that may cost market share and customers.

Job Openings Drop in June

The total number of job openings dropped to 10.7 million in June. That's an overall drop of about 5.4 percent compared to the prior month, and is well under expectations for 11.14 million open jobs.

Companies Create New Brands for Cost-Conscious Shoppers

A number of companies are rolling out new brands and packaging sizes, in an effort to keep prices down and keep customers buying. The move comes as some consumer goods companies are reporting a moderation or even a decline in sales volumes in everything from shampoo to snacks.
Workers Embrace Four-Day Workweek

A number of companies responded to the pandemic by creating a four-day workweek. Most workers have embraced the idea, although the initial details in getting started have proven a bit chaotic for companies. The data shows no drop in productivity when shifting to a four-day week.
Uber Reports Positive Free Cash Flow

Ride sharing giant Uber (UBER) surprised investors with a strong second quarter earnings report. The company reported that it had achieved positive free cash flow. As a result, the company no longer needs to go to the open market to sell shares or debt to fund its operations. And it's no longer likely to ever run out of cash.
