There are still serious questions for the economy... It's an 'inflection point'... A priceless investment lesson... It's your last chance to join us in person this October... --------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. stocks are moving higher again... This morning, the latest jobs market data showed more slowing, but not cratering. Initial weekly jobless claims ticked up to around 230,000, but that's still below the pace from June and July, and in line with an August plateau. That's on top of last week's jobs report, which showed the unemployment rate edging down ever so slightly for the first time in five months, to 4.2%. Meanwhile, another inflation read – the producer price index for August – came in about "normal" today. It showed 0.2% monthly growth, on pace for a 2% annualized rate. That follows a similar signal from the consumer price index [yesterday](. So the jobs market is weakening, but new inflation isn't out of control. For people in the real world, that doesn't mean prices for things still aren't 20% higher or more than they were just a few years ago. It means that Wall Street and economists believe that prices aren't accelerating by as much as in the pandemic era. One of the biggest string-pullers in the market backdrop – the Federal Reserve – is also assuredly about to lower interest rates next week to start juicing the economy... but not by too much, which would send too many investors fleeing into cash with fear. Fed-funds futures data shows traders are betting with 75% odds on a 25-basis-point cut coming out of next Tuesday and Wednesday's central bank meeting. In short, the past few days have supported the idea of "gradual" economic weakening, but not fire-sale-worthy trouble. And it's translating to higher stock prices. After a couple of months of volatility and "rotation" out of mega-cap tech stocks, the benchmark S&P 500 Index is suddenly moving higher again. It has now finished higher four days in a row, today by nearly 1%. And it's about 1% from its all-time closing high on July 16. In fact, all of the major U.S. indexes are trading above their longer-term, 200-day moving averages. Still, serious questions remain about the path ahead for the economy, as well as Fed rate cuts and what they may or may not mean for stocks... Where is the ball going? Sometimes, I (Corey McLaughlin) like to think of the U.S. economy as a $29 trillion "economic ball" floating in open water, with a waterfall on one end and a placid beach at the other. The ball is made up of rubber bands, complicated and impossible to unravel with one move. It can somehow float... so it will bob and drift as the tide naturally rises and falls and as not fully predictable storms move in and out of the area. It's hard to anticipate the exact path of the ball. But you can usually see whether it's headed more toward the waterfall than the safety of the beach. And if you care about its future (and what it means for your investments), you should consider the ball's likely next move. For example, all things considered, investors welcome a "gradual" start to a rate-cutting cycle rather than the alternative 50-point rate cut or more, which would likely coincide with indicators of more economic weakness than is expected right now. If that were the case, waves would be choppy, and the ball would likely head somewhere else. For now, things are happening mainly below the surface – out of mainstream attention, at least. It's an 'inflection point'... In [a must-read issue]( of his signature Retirement Millionaire newsletter published just yesterday, Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig gave an excellent lesson about how to think about where the economic ball is headed today – and what it might mean for the stock market. We've written plenty here about the jobs market, whether a recession is on the horizon, and the signals that suggest the answer is "yes." Doc described all of these ideas – and much more – in depth for subscribers as only he can. As he began... I won't sugarcoat it... Economic growth is slowing down. The go-go economic boom fueled by pandemic-stimulus spending and happy consumers is ending. On the other hand, the Federal Reserve knows this and is ready to goose monetary policy to attempt to avert disaster. Slowing economy, lower rates... The key question for investors is what this means for stocks. The answer: We don't know right now. We can't know. But we are at an inflection point... And we're going to share the secret of how to think about what's next. Doc went on to outline the state of the economy, including concerning major parts like consumer debt and housing, and the market behavior he has seen throughout his multidecade investing career in times like today. Then he explored how to think about "what happens next." A priceless investment lesson... Clearly, there are big questions about where the economy and markets are headed from here. So in his issue, Doc described the "final lesson in your investment education" with ideas from the famous, if not controversial, investor George Soros and economist John Maynard Keynes. The main point is "reflexivity" as a driver of market action – "the way people behave in markets – which affects the markets themselves." This isn't totally predictable, but there are indicators to watch to measure it. As Doc wrote... Like the markets, the economy is reflexive... If fears of unemployment leave people without job security, putting off purchases or vacations, the downturn could feed on itself. Or maybe they'll ramp up their purchases in response to falling inflation and interest rates. Similarly, if stocks start selling off, people can panic and sell off more stocks. It only takes a small spark to light a reflexive fire in the market. Doc's not saying stocks are going to crash tomorrow, but he does believe the market has reached an important inflection point. Various economic signals suggest caution is warranted, yet the S&P 500 is still trading near all-time highs. And we don't know how the market – made up of "thinking participants," as Soros put it – is going to react if things continue to take a turn for the worse. So what can you do? Simply put, control what you can. We've said this before... There are certain things you can bet on to continue – like more government "rescue" that will inevitably lead to more inflation and that the highest-quality businesses with consistently large free cash flow will continue to reward shareholders. Doc also explained why – and how – people should bolster their cash positions "now more than ever" and recommended investing in chaos-hedge investments like gold and other "hard assets." Of course, I can't give away the full details from Doc's issue out of fairness to paying subscribers and Stansberry Alliance members.

You have just a few more days to grab in-person tickets to our 22nd annual Stansberry Conference, which will take place October 21 to 23 at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. This is our biggest event of the year. Over three jam-packed days, the brightest minds in our industry will share exclusive investing ideas, and you'll listen to conversations and presentations from our Stansberry Research editors and guest speakers that you won't hear anywhere else. This year, our lineup of invited guests includes... - Bestselling author Michael Lewis (The Big Short, Moneyball, and The Blind Side) - Former Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane, who is one of the main characters in Lewis' book, Moneyball - Former Texas Governor Rick Perry - Former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez - Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry - Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Brody Mullins - Artificial-intelligence expert Zack Kass - Geopolitical strategist Marko Papic - Battle Bank President Frank Trotter - Stocktwits and Social Leverage founder Howard Lindzon You'll also hear ideas and talks from familiar names like Doc, our founder Porter Stansberry, Dan Ferris, Eric Wade, Greg Diamond, our friends Marc Chaikin and Joel Litman, and others. This is your last chance for in-person tickets... We know many events have gone "virtual" in the past few years, but there's still nothing like an in-person conference experience. I'm thinking of the casual or unplanned conversations you might have, or people or things you might see. For instance, I just found out that Dan will be jamming out on his guitar for attendees on Tuesday night during the event. You never know what's going to happen. I'll write about the conference in the Digest, but I certainly won't be able to cover everything. If you're interested in getting the full experience, in-person tickets are on sale until September 18. But hotel rooms are filling up fast. After September 18, you'll still be able to purchase access to our livestream, which will show the presentations from our speakers.
