Don't Panic! The Risk of a Recession This Year Is Low
In fact, all recessions since the 1970s have been preceded by term spread turning negative (an inverted yield curve). As we enter the 108th month of the current expansion, the second longest in U.S. history, and the yield curve flattens to levels not seen since 2007, it's logical for investors to fear a recession may be on the horizon. Using the last five recessions as our guide, we calculated the average time-span between term spreads falling below 50 basis points and inverting, and the average time-span between inversion and the start of a recession.

Wall Street braces for tariff fallout as S&P 500 companies report
Tariffs are starting to bite big manufacturers and Wall Street could get another bout of caution and uncertainty from major industrial companies when a swath of reports comes in over the next week. Investors are worried about the impact on earnings should the United States' trade war with China and other major trading partners escalate.

S&P 500 Weekly Price Forecast – S&P 500 lackluster during the week
The S&P 500 has been a bit flat during the week, as we continue to dance around the 2800 level. This is an area that will have a lot of psychological importance attached to it, but I think at this point the overall attitude is one of persistence, so that may win out in the end.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – S&P 500 choppy to end the week
The S&P 500 was very choppy in the week on Friday, reaching just above where we opened in the CFD market. As I record this, it looks as if the 2810 level is going to offer significant resistance. I think that resistance extends higher, so at this point I don’t think the market is quite ready to take off.

Investors seeking income have frequently found it in the S&P 500’s telecom sector, which was recently yielding 5.8%. The revamped telecom sector, which will be renamed communications services, will add companies such as Alphabet (GOOGL) and Facebook (FB). Part of the idea is to offer a sector that more accurately reflects the big changes in telecom companies as they blend with content providers.

[$$] A Stockpicker Gets Ready for a Time to Buy
Charles De Vaulx and his colleagues at International Value Advisers, including founder Charles de Lardemelle, have a deserved reputation as quintessential stockpickers. Despite the fund’s go-anywhere mandate, de Vaulx and de Lardemelle have lately struggled to find attractive investments—IVA won’t buy anything that isn’t at a big discount to intrinsic value—and the firm’s two funds are closed to new investors. Soon, perhaps, there may be more opportunities to buy, given the macroeconomic conditions that de Vaulx outlined in a recent conversation with Barron’s. He also obliged us with a few stock picks and commented on the latest plans afoot at one of his largest holdings, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A).
