    U.S. economy grows 3.2% in the first quarter, well above estimates

    Posted: 26 Apr 2019 07:23 AM PDT

    The U.S. economy grew at a 3.2% annualized rate in the first three months of the year, according to the first read on gross domestic product from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

    This surged ahead of expectations for 2.3% growth, according to consensus economist polled by Bloomberg.

    In the fourth quarter, GDP grew at an annualized pace of 2.2%. Growth was 2% in the first quarter of 2018.

    subtracted from GDP, also decreased in the quarter.

    With analysts looking for signs of inflationary pressures, the data showed prices remained contained.

    Personal consumption increased 1.2% in the first quarter, higher than the 1% expected and the 0.5% annualized pace in the first quarter of 2018. However, that figure was lower than in the fourth quarter, when consumption grew at a 2.5% rate. Consumer spending comprises about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.

    Core personal consumption expenditures grew 1.3% on a quarterly basis, representing a slowdown from the 1.8% pace seen in the fourth quarter. Core PCE serves as the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of underlying inflation.

    officials," Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, wrote in an email Friday, referencing the central bank's recent bewilderment with persistently below-target inflation despite low unemployment rates. "Net-net, we believe the Fed is firmly on hold."

    Following the report, stock futures reversed earlier losses, with contracts on the S&P 500 (ES=F) rising 0.15%, or 4.5 points, as of 9:16 a.m. ET. The U.S. dollar index (DX-Y.NYB) fell slightly, but has been on the upswing for the year-to-date, hitting the highest level since May 2017 on Thursday.

    Improving expectations Economists were looking for a solid first-quarter GDP print after several key sectors of the U.S. economy took a last-ditch turn higher at the close of the quarter.

    Ahead of the release, expectations for first-quarter growth ran the gamut: The Atlanta Fed's closely watched GDPNow tool tracked 2.7% quarterly growth, while the New York Fed's NowCast report looked for 1.4% expansion.

    Earlier this year, economists had braced for a protracted government shutdown, delayed tax refunds and adverse weather effects to hamper growth. In March, the Atlanta Fed tracked first-quarter GDP growth of as low as 0.2%.

    March's exceptional jump in retail sales had been a central focus in the recent optimism toward the economy given that consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Overall retail sales in the U.S. jumped 1.6% in March, marking the largest increase since later 2017. The "control" segment that factors into GDP readings – which excludes sales in the volatile auto, gas, building materials and food services categories – jumped a more-than-expected 1% for the month.

    "It does come down to the consumer, and it always does for the U.S. economy, for the most part," Marvin Loh, global macro strategist at, State Street said in an interview with Yahoo Finance ahead of Friday's release.

    Other recent data had also presaged solid first-quarter growth. Last week, the Commerce Department reported that the trade deficit narrowed more-than-expected to $49.4 billion in February, as exports jumped 1.1% and imports rose a sanguine 0.2%.

    Inventory investments also boosted first-quarter expansion, as inventories grew a better-than-expected 0.3% in February and were upwardly revised for January.

    However, many analysts noted that some of the key drivers supporting GDP growth this quarter will be cause for concern later this year.

    "The first-quarter strength was principally due to three elements – all of which will be reversed in the second quarter and beyond. First, net exports added 1.0% point to overall GDP growth, as exports increased by 3.7% annualized and imports contracted by 3.7%," Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a note following the GDP report. "That won't continue against a backdrop of very weak global trade."

    "Second, despite that massive boost from net trade, an acceleration in inventory building added an additional 0.7% points to GDP growth," he added. "Normally those two components largely offset each other. With inventories elevated relative to sales, expect a reversal in the second quarter."

    The third factor was that the gain in final sales to domestic purchases tracked in this GDP print included a "very suspicious 3.9% gain" in government spending, which Ashworth attributed to a temporary spike in government investment in highways and road construction rather than a sustainable trend.

    On Thursday, the Census Bureau posted an advance report stating that orders for durable goods, or those meant to last more than 3 years, rose by a better-than-expected 2.7% in March, the fastest rate in 7 months and higher than the 0.8% pace expected. Notably, non-defense capital goods orders, excluding aircraft, rose 1.3%, versus a 0.2% increase expected. The category serves as a proxy for business investment, suggesting that strong economic growth momentum could carry over into the second quarter. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gdp-1q-2019-first-print-191823923.html

    Buying stock from CD Projekt SA

    Posted: 26 Apr 2019 01:08 PM PDT

    So since a while now I wanted to buy CD Projekt SA stocks because I trust their work method and I believe in a couple years they will expand on a large scale.

    So my question is... I have a DISNAT account opened, buy 5 stock from a small medical tech company, and now I wanna spend my big buck on OTGLF-U (CD Projekt SA). I have 250 in the account and can put another 250-300$. in case. Everytime I try this is the error I am getting,

    https://imgur.com/t2mEou0

    I thought before going to the bank and wasting someone's time for this maybe someone here as more experience.

    Whats the prob here? Not enough buying power = can only buy in 100-200 stack? , This specific market doesnt allow this type of order, Does this mean I have to use Limit instead of Market? Or maybe stop order?

    Any help would be appreciated. This is my future (don't worry, I have faith in where I put my money, just figuring out the patterns.)

    Thanks!

    Democrats Put Focus on Health Care Reform

    Posted: 26 Apr 2019 03:02 PM PDT

    Key Points

    • The Presidential Race has begun, and democrats are setting their sights on health care reform.
    • Health care stocks are suffering because of it.
    • The XLV Health Care Sector ETF has fallen out of the symmetrical triangle we have been watching.

    Visit https://www.brtechnicals.com/fr-democrats-put-focus-on-health-care-reform/ to read the blog with the charts.

    Democrats Take on Health Care Reform

    Democrats are using one of their more popular ideas to rally voters to their side. Health care reform has been a major topic over the years, especially after the controversial Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. While the act is not as popular as many democrats had hoped it would be, it has given them something to rally around for the upcoming election: health care reform. Now, health care stocks are hurting.

    Bernie Sanders is becoming a very popular candidate, and investors are taking notice. He wants to create a single payer insurance system where the government becomes the insurance provider. In addition, he wants drug and drug price reform in an effort to curb drug prices and expenses.

    Even if you do not expect Bernie Sanders to be the next president, the national attention the presidential race is bound to bring to the sector is likely going to force some changes to the current system. The potential overhaul and increased uncertainty surrounding health care stocks such as insurance companies, biotech, and pharmaceuticals is sending stock prices lower.

    Health Care Stocks Fall

    XLV Health Care Sector ETF

    The XLV Health Care Sector ETF has failed to clear a resistance at $93, and began a series of lower highs and higher lows. The short term trend, beginning in 2016 (green dotted line), was fighting with the resistance to stay intact. The sector created a symmetrical triangle pattern along the trend line, but this support has failed. the short-term trend is no longer valid. Now we are watching the long-term trend (solid green line) to determine if buyers will step in and support the sector. If they don't a new downtrend could form, or at the very least the sector becomes range bound as investors try to understand where the sector goes from here.

    XBI Biotech ETF

    The XBI Biotech ETF is also struggling, and has fallen below a key support level after recovering from a 35% fall in the last half of 2018.

    Ways to Play the Politics

    The moves we are seeing in these stocks comes off of speculation. Investors are worried about the future based on current politics. This is a hard way to invest, and it increases volatility in the different segments of the health care industry. There are a few different ways to play in this type of environment:

    1. Stay out. It could be hard to stomach the volatility the sector is likely to see, and this can cause trading mistakes. Different days can have different headlines, and this can cause a spike higher or lower, depending on the context. The emotions investors feel in this type of environment make it hard to trade.

    2. Bottom fishing. When it comes to politics, its really hard to determine what will change, how it will change it, and what the affects are going forward. However, the affects are usually not as bad as investors portray them to be, and this can cause a pricing mismatch. If the stocks are too cheap relative to the affects new government policies are placing on the industry, we can see the stocks rapidly bounce back.

    Plus, if the reforms end up hurting certain businesses, it is possible management is able to reform themselves into a new business model. Good CEO's create value, even if the rules are changed. So there may still be some opportunity even if a current business is affected negatively.

    3. Going Short. If XLV breaks its long-term uptrend line support, momentum could drop the stocks even lower. Additionally, if government reforms affect the profitability of drug companies, or they make publicly traded private insurance companies obsolete, then the stocks will continue to fall.

    Our Portfolios

    We will be sticking to option one in the Technical Portfolios. There are plenty of opportunities elsewhere, and we are not going to know many answers until we get closer to the election, in a year and a half. Additionally, options two and three are a gamble. A bottom may be found because investors find the companies to be cheap, but if its before the election, reforms may still send the stock lower anyways.

    ETFs Vs. Mutual Funds (Differences Explained)

    Posted: 26 Apr 2019 02:55 PM PDT

    For those of you who are unaware of the differences between exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds, I am going to break it down. First, it is important to note they have a few similarities. Both funds are comprised of multiple different assets and they represent a way for investors to diversify to combat risk. Essentially, it is like investing in a basket of investments. There are also key differences between the funds in terms of how they are managed, how they are traded, how each one is purchased, and how pricing works.

    For starters, ETFs can be traded like common stocks. When you think about day to day trading, you can think of ETFs too in terms of buying and selling. Mutual funds on the other hand can only be purchased at the end of each trading day based on their price.

    The way each type of fund is managed differs as well. When you think of mutual funds, these are more actively managed. Many times, analysts are brought in for expert decisions on stock trades. Or mutual funds may have economists come in and make suggestions. Obviously, there is a cost involved, so mutual funds are typically more expensive. ETFs are managed more passively and are based more on a market index.

    If you guys are interested in a more in depth comparison about ETFs and mutual funds, I would recommend checking out this video: https://youtu.be/2F974yBx5Mg

    Why is the Nasdaq (NDAQ) dropping?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2019 07:26 AM PDT

    I'm a new investor and don't have a lot of money invested, mostly because of a lack of knowledge on the stock market. I've only been investing for a couple weeks and just bought into NDAQ a couple days ago at a relatively low price, before their earnings call.

    I checked up on the earnings call after it came out and was excited to see that for the most part it seemed like pretty good news, but then was disappointed as it seems like every day I lose money or at best break even on those holdings. They've also been very volatile, especially for an ETF.

    Why hasn't the stock been doing well since the earnings call? Any tips and advice would be appreciated!
