After months of complacency, volatility is moving higher again… As you can see in the chart below, the stock market's "fear gauge" – the Volatility Index ("VIX") – has now jumped back above 15 for the first time since November's presidential election… This move has coincided with growing doubts about the "Trump Trade," as well as rising geopolitical tensions… This week, the Trump administration accused Russia of colluding with Syria over a suspected chemical-weapon attack. It also ordered the use of the "mother of all bombs" – America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb – on Islamic State targets in Afghanistan. And the White House sent what President Trump himself called an "armada" to the Korean Peninsula, promising to take "unilateral action" to deal with North Korean threats if necessary. Of course, we have no crystal ball… We can't say for certain if fear is finally returning to the market. And we don't know if these events will lead to the first significant correction in stocks in more than a year. But we do know that it's only a matter of time before volatility moves much higher again. As we wrote in the February 1 Digest, just days after the VIX closed below 11 for the first time in years…
So-called "safe haven" assets have also been moving higher… The yield on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasurys – which have long been considered a safe haven, as the least risky sovereign debt in the world – has now fallen below 2.3% for the first time since December. (Remember, bond yields trade inversely to bond prices… Yields fall as prices rise.) Gold and silver have been moving higher, too. Gold rose to a new five-month high of $1,288 per ounce this week, while silver just hit its own five-month high at $18.51 per ounce. ----------Recommended Link---------
Now, a topic that has nothing to do with the investment world… Porter has spent several years and more than $2 million creating his world-class shaving razor, the OneBlade. Here's Porter, on the idea that started it all…
As Porter explained, ever since he started shaving in the 1980s, he had never been happy with any shaving product. He always suffered from razor burn and ingrown hairs after using cartridge razors. He continues…
Porter isn't alone in this opinion. In addition to receiving positive coverage from Fast Company magazine, Business Insider, and a host of other news outlets, his OneBlade razor has amassed an impressive collection of accolades. Meanwhile, hundreds of Stansberry Research subscribers have written in over the years telling us they agree, like Terry G…
And Mike C., who told us…
But Porter has never shared the whole story of the incredible amount of work that went into researching, designing, and testing the OneBlade razor… until now. Porter recently sat down on camera with OneBlade CEO Tod Barrett, lead industrial designer Mark Prommel, and "barber to the stars" Craig Whitely. Even if you're not interested in buying a razor for yourself, it's a fascinating "behind the scenes" look at what Porter and the OneBlade team have accomplished in a short time. This free video is only available for a few days. You can watch it here. Regards, Justin Brill Editor's note: Porter recently sat down to share the inside story behind what it takes to produce the award-winning OneBlade razor. For a limited time, you can save $100 on a complete starter kit. Watch the roundtable and get all the details right here. |
