Has the bear market officially arrived? For some, it arrived last year. And most of us just didn’t realize it. The average stock price has been pummeled since then, and in certain segments it’s worse.
During those 65 weekend hours, Elon Musk’s people and Twitter’s people will have “material conversations” about the former’s deal to buy the company. (During market hours they’d have to share everything publicly, given their potential impact on the company’s share price.) But we’re interested in the bigger picture. The longer term. The endgame. On the stock price front, the impact on Twitter’s share price is already baked in. Unless something derails the deal … entirely possible, as you’ll see … TWTR will cease to trade at $54.20 a share, about 4% upside from Monday’s closing price. But as Jay Gould discovered, the path to media’s commanding heights is never smooth.
Welcome to your new Monday Market update! This weekly special edition covers the “Big Picture” factors at play in this week’s headline — so you can stay ahead of the trends with ease!

I have five ways the stock and bond markets might tip toward a BIG crash and what you can do today to protect yourself.

These same factors have been proven in back testing to pinpoint companies that outperform or trail the market.
