Robert Young - YFS Private Client Market & Economy Audio-EmailEpisode 174 - Robert Young: 10 April Trump's Tariff Suspension Announcement - PERSPECTIVEFriends,Yesterday's "surprise" announcement by President Trump jacked Markets up by 9%+ But, was it for the benefit of America(ans) or a calculated "pump & dump" scheme orchestrated to reward those who breathe in "rarefied air"?That's a cocktail party philosophical question that means nothing to me...i'm interested in facts - and, today's 4+% clawback of the Market's 9% "gain" (making a net gain of 5% on yesterdays' news) appears to support the facts and data presented in today's audio-email.In a follow up (addendum) to this audio-email, I explore the empirical evidence supporting the c...

REALLY!!??Friends,Happy Liberation Day! 😊 If you are worried or surprised by the recent repricing of the stock market (Market drop) or believe that the tariffs enacted today (just another set invoked and revised since February) are triggers for the Market decline which has taken the value down approximately10% from the peak achieved in late 2024 – then I have failed you :(Months ago, based on new data and facts, I 86’d my belief that recession was imminent and wouldresult in a Market revaluation - and began focusing on the support systems (aka Consumer spending & Corporate revenue) necessary to maint...

A very simple approach he uses to determine whether the stock market is overvalued or undervalued. If its overvalued and we wander down the Dark Alley of Recession (as outlined in the previous audio) then we want to be aware of just how much the stock market could decline in value.Of course, I could be wrong about a pending recession.But I could be right.We’ll see.

These two positions have been extraordinary performers breaking through every previous "SELL" level achieving returns ranging from 50% to 250% / 300%. Just unbelievable!

Is Data giving us Good News or Bad? Sometimes it depends on your perspective. Since 12% of the Economy's GDP (think of GDP as money flowing through the Economy) is generated in the Housing Sector from the purchase / sale of a New or Existing Home and all of the ancillary purchases (i.e. – spending) created by the purchase, this sector is the 2nd most important indicator when gauging the Health of the Economy and ultimately...The Market.Let’s just say, we’re leanin...

This slightly lower number will be taken as a sign that inflation has reached the summit and is now starting down the mountain. Lower numbers will also be promoted as support for Powel & Co's (Federal Reserve) narrative that inflation in transitory, now waning and only .50 basis point increases are required. This may be all the Market needs to rally and you may see a run up in the S&P 500 to 4150 - 4200 / even 4300! I'm...

On Tuesday, the Producer Price Index report will be released. As I have stated in previous audios, it will be nasty.
