A Chill Blows Through Wall Street
Summer fun has ended as we enter a seasonally tough month, a potentially volatile October, uncertainty in Iran, and an escalating trade fight with Canada.

Dougie is off for a few of days this week. It is I, Sarge. I will be your tour guide for at least today and tomorrow. God willing. Let’s begin.
Equity index futures are trading in the hole. We have the stronger-than-expected August jobs report in the rear-view mirror. This increased the likelihood for increased short-term interest rates to be announced as soon as next week. We also have a growing trade war with Canada to contend with as well as an ongoing kinetic war with Iran that is forcing oil prices higher.
That all said, let’s do something to get the blood flowing. I am going to do some push-ups, do some crunches and lift some weights. Then, I’ll walk the dog. You kids do you. Just don’t do nothing. Down some “joe” and get moving. We’re going to need energy before this day, this week and this month closes. That we know. So do something that helps generate some energy, both physical and cognitive in nature. I would also suggest doing something to feed one’s spirituality but again, you do you.
Alright. Lock and load, kids. They are likely to come at us from all sides today. Helmets, flak jackets, clean socks, drinking water, full battle rattle and gas masks on the hip. Everyone out on the sidewalk in an hour, ready to rock. That is all.
Position: None
Equities react to some mind-blowing August jobs data.
But after I ring the register, I plan to follow up with this move.
When’s the last time you got a call from the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Let’s look at employment and why I kinda agree more with Christopher Waller than Kevin Warsh right now….
The AI data cloud firm is enjoying a nice reaction to its earnings report.
I’m holding off on trades as I await earnings for these two $10K Portfolio names; also, SoFI updates and drone news.
Let’s open the Beige Book, look at employment and see why the jobs picture could be more fragile at the moment than realized.
