Japan, long called the Land of the Rising Sun, made me wonder what we, as investors, should be calling China (FXI). China’s major indices are still down 25-30% this year alone. We know all the main excuses: tariffs from the US and excessive lending/credit bubble in China are leading to slower growth. Take a look a the relative performance this year between the S&P 500 (SPY) and the FXI, a popular large cap Chinese ETF.

Facebook Hires Ex-Deputy Premier Clegg to Lead Lobbying Push
As leader of the Liberal Democrats, Clegg was at the heart of the British government from 2010 to 2015. Clegg’s hire comes as Facebook is under fire from regulators, politicians and authorities around the world on issues ranging from user privacy breaches, to the proliferation of fake news and hate speech on its platforms. Bringing a former local politician on board could especially help the Silicon Valley giant in the U.K., where it is under investigation for letting the data of millions of its users end up in the hands of Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm working on Donald Trump’s 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.

The Latest Real-Estate Business Is Storing Rich People’s Cars
Car warehouses that can store a hundred or more pricey vehicles are beginning to pop up across the U.S., according to car collectors and wealth managers who are witnessing the trend. "There is demand for it," says car collector Henry Robertelli, a partner with the hedge fund Axius Holdings, who is building out a 7,000 square-foot auto garage in a suburban Atlanta warehouse space that’s nearly five times as large, if he wants to expand. Indeed, many warehouses are being built by cars collectors themselves, such Los Angeles media entrepreneur Matt Farah, who said he spent "many years looking to be a customer of somebody."

Continued relative weakness in Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) doesn’t bode well for today’s bullish investors in GOOG stock. One analyst kinda, sorta stepped up to the plate today in Alphabet stock. A call out of Wedbush slapped GOOGL shares with an upside price target of $1,350 citing “a compelling valuation and an unrivaled collection of high-profile and omnipresent core products and platforms.” Still, the coverage noted Alphabet stock’s fortunes weren’t as attractive long term as FANG peers Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) or Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

Wall Street Weekahead: With market on edge, investors look to tech trio
The pressure is on for Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft as they prepare to report quarterly results at a time when confidence in those market leaders looks increasingly fragile and in danger of derailing Wall Street's rally.
