    Sushi Prices Show Where U.S. Cost of Living Is on the Rise

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 10:49 AM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-30/u-s-sushi-prices-illuminate-cost-disparity-among-cities

    Diners in the Charlotte and Houston metropolitan areas -- where populations grew more than 10% over the past five years to reach close to 2.6 and 7 million, respectively -- are experiencing sticker shock. Average prices for spicy-tuna and California rolls rose at more than double the pace of the national average last year.

    New York City retained its ranking as America's most-expensive sushi spot, another example of the city's high living costs.

    Another thing to keep in mind when considering cost of living is average salaries. While New York and San Francisco rank highest in average cost for sushi, workers also typically receive greater pay. Among large metropolitan areas -- those with populations greater than two million -- the fastest growth in real personal income was seen in New York-Newark-Jersey City (4.3%), Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue (4.3%) and Austin-Round Rock (4.1%) in 2017, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

    [TA] S&P 500 is showing a technically clean set-up for a major shorting opportunity at 3150 around Oct 31 hard Brexit

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 11:52 AM PDT

    Link to charts.

    Technical analysis & commentary:

    The S&P 500 is setting up perfectly for a crash around Oct 31 when the U.K. hard Brexits. The chart shows a clean technical trend towards an inflection point on that day—a strange coincidence. Here is some (hopefully) simple (enough) analysis to help you understand the risk of this particular scenario.

    Looking at the chart with a daily timeframe (Chart #1), the medium term trend for the market is making a megaphone pattern (dark green lines). It looks like this < on the chart but is pointing to 9:30 p.m. on the chart instead of 9 p.m. This is a bearish trend that shows limited upside (top dark green line is flattish) with increasing volatility (cone of the megaphone is expanding) to the downside (bottom dark green line is steeper than top line).

    The short term trend is making a flag pattern (light green lines). It looks like this > on the chart but is pointing to 2 p.m. on the chart instead of 3 p.m. This is a bullish trend showing a series of higher highs and lower lows.

    The price has traded very neatly within these trends in the last few weeks. The trends collide on Oct 4, at which point the price will break-out of one trend and confirm the other. As we count down to Brexit, I think the market will trade throughout Oct between 3000-3150, above the dark green top line and into the end of the light green flag pattern. But it will be a bull-trap. The reality of hard Brexit may be the catalyst that confirms the megaphone pattern.

    This prediction is supported by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (Chart #1; second graph with intertwined blue and orange lines). MACD on the daily timeframe is beneath zero, indicating downward momentum, but that momentum is becoming less negative (shown by the cyclical uptick towards zero).

    The Relative Strength Index (third graph with purple line) is currently at 68 on the daily timeframe, short of the 80 mark which usually triggers selling. Both of these indicators suggest the market has one last little heave to give towards the 3150 level before it stalls and crashes.

    Looking at the chart with the monthly timeframe (Chart #2), we see the correlation between the unemployment rate (orange line) and recessions. Weakening employment conditions are the final indicator before a crash as it shows recessionary effects have passed from manufacturing through the whole economy to workers and consumers. Historically, a 0.3%+ increase in the three month moving average (MA) of the unemployment rate (not shown in charts) has signalled a recession is imminent. The jobs number is reported the first Friday of every month. The unemployment 3m MA has ticked up in the last couple months and will likely reach 3.9%, the critical level (3.6% low plus 0.3%)...in Oct. The RSI and MACD on the monthly chart also look prime to turn negative. So the stars are aligning for Oct 31.

    If the market crashes, there are no established technical price levels where we can expect support (shown by horizontal red lines on Chart #1; support is when there is more buying than selling, which drives the price up) until 2350, a level last reached in the Dec 2018 tremor that shook global markets. Interestingly, the megaphone pattern indicates the next low will be 2100 on Feb 14 2020; 2100 is the next technical price level with support. Below 2100 the next major support is 1800, which would represent a 40% decline from 3150, but losses could run deeper.

    If this set up comes about, it represents a huge trading opportunity. I'd recommend at the money puts on the SPY with 20-40 day expiry. A safe entry price will be when the price crosses the 200 day moving average (blue line on Chart #1, first graph). By safe I mean relatively safe; trading options on a leveraged index is for professionals and requires proper due diligence.

    What is POTUS manipulates the stock market...

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 02:39 PM PDT

    It's the first time in history of the world (stock markets were not as popular when Hitler was around) that someone can bring up and down the market at will within minutes or even during sessions by tweets.

    That someone happens to be a lover of money and at least caught lying some thousands of times.

    Who monitors these services? Are there agencies that are monitoring and correlate big PUTS and CALLS on the market and connect them with him? I know it's difficult, they couldn't even connect him with other scandals but just saying, can there be so blatant manipulation here? This has been going on for 1,5 year DAILY.

    "They" could have made hundreds of billions by doing this.

    P.S This post was removed in r/investing by /u/MasterCookSwag mod because there is "no evidence".
