Recession? What recession? New to the Digest? [Click here.]( [Manward Digest] The Cure for Bad Jobs Numbers [Alex Moschina] Alex Moschina Publisher Recession? What recession? After the week [started with historic drops](... Kicked off by weaker-than-expected jobs numbers that suggested the economy might be cooling a little too fast... The talking heads were back to throwing around that nine-letter word that strikes fear into the hearts of investors. [[Seven Must-Own Stocks for AI Investors. Details Here.]( Goldman Sachs warned that the risk of a downturn was growing. Others followed suit, including America's largest bank, JPMorgan. [Economics HL] A torrent of headlines ensued... [Economics HL] [Economics HL] [Economics HL] It was a cold splash of water after months of whispers that the Fed may actually pull off the mythical "soft landing" it promised. [Fear was back in a big way.]( Then on Thursday... things turned around. The cure for bad labor numbers, it turns out, was not-so-bad labor numbers. Weekly jobless claims came in lower than expected. Meaning that even though July was a rough month for the American worker... things may not be so bad after all. (We know what you're thinking, and no, investors cannot sue the Bureau of Labor Statistics for giving everyone whiplash.)

Yet it could soon become [the new top-performing AI stock](. Discover why it may have the power to transform regular Americans' wealth [>>RIGHT HERE<<]( The S&P jumped more than 2% on Thursday in response to the news. As Robert predicted in [his piece on Tuesday]( the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) returned to a more palatable level after Monday's massive spike. It's sitting around 24.37 as I write, right on the edge of normalcy and nervousness. It's down 60% from the peak on Monday, which represented - in Robert's words - "a full-blown market panic." Tech stocks, [as I mentioned on Wednesday]( were hit especially hard. That's why Shah followed Robert's piece with a look at support levels for each member of the Magnificent Seven in a [special edition of Buy This, Not That](. "[There] are some underpinnings of support and hope," Shah explained. Strong earnings and an all-but-assured September rate cut should ultimately bolster these megacaps. Things were already looking much better as we closed the week. As of Friday morning, every Mag 7 stock was up from where it started on Monday. [Bad Week]( [View larger image]( Of course, there's no way to know exactly what next week will bring. Could July CPI numbers - set to release on Wednesday - cause another mini-panic? Absolutely.

But this little-known alternative investment could hand you BIG MONTHLY INCOME from the oil and gas surge in 2024. [CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS]( We could also see evidence that inflation is looking well under control, raising the chance of a 25 or even a 50 basis point rate cut in September. But the fact is... it's Saturday. Markets are blissfully closed. And we've all got better things to do than speculate about what the coming week will bring. In the words of the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, "To seek is to suffer." "To seek nothing," he concluded, "is bliss." Or, as the O'Jays once sang... "For the next two days, I'm livin' for the weekend." Enjoy it. We'll be back on Monday with Shah's Takeaways.
