Aug 7 08:00
Dear mooers,
Join the live, as Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle will navigate the intersection of politics and market trends this August. With the Democratic National Convention on the horizon, Sarge will unpack the potential market shake-ups from the presidential race and the VP selection buzz. Get ready to uncover how these political plays could influence market sectors and Treasury yields.
But there's more on the agenda. The Federal Reserve is on deck with the FOMC minutes and the Jackson Hole summit, and Sarge is here to decipher their signals. How might these Fed foci forecast the financial future? We've got the insights.
As economic reports roll out, from inflation figures to GDP revisions, we'll explore their sway over the stock market. Earnings season is also reaching a fever pitch, and Sarge will offer his insights on reports from major players like $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$, $Walmart (WMT.US)$, $Target (TGT.US)$, and other retail giants, analyzing their influence on the market and what their performances might signal about the broader economy.
Finally, Sarge will discuss the phenomenon of negative seasonality that often marks this time of year, arming you with the knowledge to navigate these cyclical market shifts.

Well shit have hit the fan as we have seen the market sea of red and it seems like the worse have yet to come, what exactly is going on? Can sarge help us better understand what happened that resulted in this massive sell off? What should we do? Remain calm and hold or cut losses and sell?

Here are my questions in this session:
1) What triggered the stock market to plunge especially the tech stocks? Big Rotation or US recession coming or both?
2) Based on your experience, what type of stocks are suitable to invest under a "fearful" market? Should we be greedy when the market is fearful?
3) What indicator should we look to see if the US is slipping into a recession? Will a Fed rate cut help?
Wonder : The market plunge had reached many fib retracement levels. How far can the drop go and for how long, based on history?![undefined [undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36)
