trump LOSING: Sinking semi stocks are the 'canary in the coal mine,' market watcher warns Rebecca Ungarino \| @ungarino Published 8:30 AM ET Fri, 7 Sept 2018 CNBC.com cnbc.com Sinking semi stocks are the ‘canary in the coalmine,’ market watcher warns 6:25 PM ET Thu, 6 Sept 2018 \| 03:19 Semi stocks are getting knocked off their perch. Semi stocks are getting knocked off their perch. The once high flying group sank more than 2 percent on Thursday, and the SMH ETF, which tracks the space, is now down more than 7 percent from 2018 highs. Some strategists not only see further downside for the largely Asia-exposed companies, which have gotten caught in the trade war crosshairs, but view the decline as a warning for the broader economy. Names like Micron, Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials and Lam Research sank Thursday. Micron saw the biggest drop – falling nearly 10 percent due in part to a warning from Morgan Stanley about demand for memory chips. Boris Schlossberg, managing director of foreign exchange strategy at BK Asset Management, is concerned about the decline. "I think we should be paying attention to this. Semis, if you believe the fact that semis lead the economy, they could be the canary in the coal mine in the sense that we are already seeing a lot of anecdotal evidence" that demand for chip stocks is slowing, Schlossberg said Thursday on CNBC's " Trading Nation." That may be signaling the economy is seeing a slowdown. He would be cautious about stepping into what he sees as a "falling knife," particularly because September is traditionally the market's worst month of the year and trade tensions between the U.S. and China remain. From a technical standpoint, several semiconductor charts still look sound, said Bill Baruch, president of Blue Line Futures. Specifically, AMD and Nvidia are still sporting strong respective uptrends while Applied Materials and Micron are pushing lower. He'd avoid those two names.

trump LOSING: Dow set to drop 100 points as investors fret about global trade Fred Imbert \| Alexandra Gibbs Published 4 Hours Ago Updated 1 Hour AgoCNBC.com cnbc.com Wall Street set to open in the red 2 Hours Ago \| 00:45 U.S. stock index futures fell ahead of Tuesday's open as worries about global trade keep investors on edge. Around 7:30 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 132 points, indicating a decline of 100.07 points at the open, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also pointed to a downbeat open Spencer Platt \| Getty Images News \| Getty Images A trader on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange the morning after the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 1,000 points on Feb. 9, 2018. Last Friday, President Donald Trump said he was "ready to go" on hitting China with an additional $267 billion worth of tariffs. The U.S. administration had already previously announced that it would impose tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods.Consequently, investors will be keeping abreast of this issue to see if more developments emerge. China is reportedly set to call upon the World Trade Organization soon for authorization to inflict sanctions on the U.S., according to a meeting agenda, Reuters reported. The reason for this is because of Washington's non-compliance with a ruling in a dispute over U.S. dumping duties that China introduced in 2013. Boeing shares, considered a bellwether for global trade, fell 0.6 percent before the bell. Caterpillar also slipped 0.7 percent. Stock futures also fell as tech was headed for another decline. Shares of Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Tesla all fell in the premarket. Tesla's stock dropped 2 percent after a Nomura analyst called the stock " no longer investable." Elsewhere, North Korea has come back onto the agenda, after news emerged that Trump had received what The White House dubbed a "very warm, very positive letter" from Kim Jong Un, who called for a follow-up meeting with the U.S. president. Both leaders met in Singapore in June to discuss denuclearization and the future of the two nations' relationship. In data, investors will be paying close attention to the job openings and labor turnover survey (JOLTS), following last week's nonfarm payrolls. JOLTS are due out at 10 a.m. ET. Overseas, markets in Asia were mostly mixed, while stocks in Europe came under slight pressure in early trade. No major earnings or speeches by the U.S. Federal Reserve are scheduled Tuesday.

trump LOSING: Trump’s Attacks Backfire As Bob Woodward’s ‘Fear’ Gets 1 Million Copy Run; The publisher said it had ordered six reprints before the book had even reached stores. 09/11/2018 04:58 am ET By Nick Visser huffingtonpost.com Bob Woodward has drawn President Donald Trump’s ire in recent weeks ahead of the release of the veteran journalist’s book about the inner workings of the White House. But Trump’s attacks may have backfired after the Woodward’s publisher said Monday it had reprinted his book an astounding six times before it’s even gone on sale to the public. “That will put 1 million books in print before we’ve even gone on sale,” Simon & Schuster told CNN on Monday, saying it had ordered multiple reprints to meet “extraordinary demand.” Woodward’s book, titled Fear: Trump in the White House, has been highly anticipated ahead of its Tuesday release. Excerpts published by The Washington Post earlier this month describe a “ nervous breakdown” of the executive branch and include tales of aides swiping documents from the Trump’s desk in an effort to “protect national security.” The book also quotes White House Chief of Staff John Kelly as telling colleagues that the president was “unhinged” and “an idiot” who had “gone off the rails.” The tome is the product of hundreds of hours of interviews with sources close to the president, although Trump himself was not quoted as Woodward was unable to nail him down for an interview, despite repeated attempts. Trump has blasted the book ahead of its release, calling its author a “liar” on Twitter. Many senior aides have also scrambled to deny they made the comments, claiming they weren’t quoted accurately by the investigative reporter. “The Woodward book is a scam. I don’t talk the way I am quoted,” the president wrote on Twitter in one missive. “If I did I would not have been elected President. These quotes were made up. The author uses every trick in the book to demean and belittle.” Fear is set to be released on Sept. 11, and as of Tuesday morning was already the fifth best-selling book on Amazon for the year, just ahead of former FBI Director James Comey’s A Higher Loyalty.

LYING DISGUSTING TRAITOR POS trump: Trump Makes Light Of Terrorists Who Killed U.S. Soldiers In Omarosa Tape; The president can be heard joking about the terrorists in Niger soon after 4 U.S. soldiers were killed. By David Moye 09/10/2018 05:48 pm ET Updated 4 hours ago huffingtonpost.com A newly released audiotape shows President Donald Trump seeming to make light of the deaths of four U.S. soldiers who were killed Oct. 4, 2017, in an ambush in Niger. The tape was recorded about two weeks later by former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman during a meeting the president had with his communications team about the ambush and the movement of terrorists. Manigault Newman played the tape Monday for MSNBC host Craig Melvin and said the way the president makes light of the situation shows just how “unhinged and inappropriate” he is. On the tape, the president explains that the attacks were carried out by terrorists from the Middle East who went into Africa “to try and, you know, cause problems there.” Trump then said that the goal of most of the terrorists is to get back to the U.S., “because this is where they really want to be.” “So it’s a rough, uh, business,” he said, then to laughter he added, “I wouldn’t, I don’t think I’d want to be a terrorist right now. [laughter] It’s not a good life, but it’s, uh, the only thing that — What else is there?” Manigault Newman told Melvin she felt Trump’s comments were disrespectful of the soldier’s deaths, especially when he and his staffers laughed at the remarks. “They were laughing because he’s, like, making light of the situation, he’s saying, ‘Well, I wouldn’t want to be a terrorist,’ she said, “But it’s not a laughing matter. We lost four American soldiers and four of our allies, the Nigerien troops that we were fighting alongside.” Manigault Newman said the president’s cavalier attitude toward the soldiers in Niger is even more insulting in retrospect, considering the way he spoke with Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, one of the soldiers killed in the attack. “He couldn’t remember my husband’s name,” Myeshia Johnson told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name.” The president also told Johnson that her husband “knew what he signed up for.” Johnson added: “And it made me cry because I was very angry at the tone in his voice and how he said it.” According to a report commissioned by The Guardian newspaper, about 200 heavily armed militants attacked U.S. and Nigerien forces on Oct. 4, 2017, in the village of Tongo Tongo. Witnesses described hearing gunfire for six hours without any reinforcements showing up, despite the village chief’s repeated calls for help to Nigerien authorities. “Everything that happened could have been prevented if help had arrived sooner,” Karimou Yacouba, a local member of parliament, told The Guardian. This tape isn’t the only one released Monday by Manigault Newman, formerly the director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison and a former contestant on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.” She also played a recording on “The View” in which Trump could be heard ranting that his presidential rival Hillary Clinton is “getting killed now with Russia” and that the “real Russia story is Hillary and collusion.”
