Some sense of stability returned after last weeks market meltdown while tokyo hong kong and shanghai led a strong advance across asia investors continued to be anxious especially head of key u. S. Inflation data to be released wednesday some of the some of those concerns at such data could spark further volatile market moves almost anything could european stocks have seen a robust recovery also following the worst week in two years bringing back the bullish sentiment which has been buoyed this year by strong Economic Indicators and Company Quarterly reports the pan european stocks europe six hundred index rallied one point two percent including eighty seven percent of the stocks that make up the europe six hundred closing in positive territory plus other stocks stock exchanges in germany france and the u. K. Each rose by more than one percent. Just a little over a week ago markets were shaken to their core the Dow Jones Industrial average lost more than fifteen hundred points in just a single day while u. S. Investors felt the burn what was going on overseas in europe and asian markets well here to give us some more insight as hillary for president and founder of mark henry thank you for being with us again were really pleased to have you whats going on on the rest of the world as we were in the middle of this market meltdown well great to be back to go i think there were actually waves of why the rest of the world tends to follow the u. S. And i would say that you know volatility bring volatility and thats what we feel now what did asia seems to recover is reported and that headlines and europe was on a i think they broke a six day losing streak is there something specific over there that theyre following u. S. Markets only is there Something Else going on well couple of things first of all. So in terms of when you say european stocks as Henry Kissinger used to say he used to say ill believe in one europe when theres one phone number to call so dont forget we got a foot see the docks and then theres the stock market as many of the stock market but in general just always the guiding for what is europeans of that much more conservative so they dont seem to have the gyrations and the great fluctuations we do but they tend to follow us thats the way to really look at it and they follow us and i agree but they they follow us with a head of us in the trading every day so a day they open they were open earlier times only thing but dont forget they look at the futures after the dow closes then there are the futures and they look at that and they follow our sentiments and generations and dont forget in europe too you know debt is a down over there as well you know one of the things that i think people dont realize and part of this is actually due to t. V. Is that stock exchanges which are pretty much traded electronically now but they have Television Studios and so they want to ring the bell and they want to show the traders on the floor but ninety percent of most trading in stock markets around the world are done electronically a lot of it by algorithms so the other thing that people dont realize in tandem with that is that markets are actually trading after hours all the time so even though the european stocks are open earlier than the u. S. Theyre watching the u. S. Its twenty four seven three sixty five markets these days isnt it really doesnt stop yes and then you know the dow closes at four then you think about you know twelve hours ahead in asia so theyre already there so that has an impact and then also dont forget so theyre getting up in the same what happened then they have the dow futures on top of that and europe gets up a little bit later so theyre watching asia and asia has just wash us i know some isnt stop i know some traders and they just continue and continue and continue i mean theyre like you know perpetual College Students who are going from one exam to another now let me ask you get ready d. Types that are actually stop or no no no you dont theyre going to the city that never sleeps wall street well you know. I mean its an industry in a market that never sleeps youre absolutely right now you mentioned a sure we talked about asia a little bit whats whats the big markets over there the hang the chang high composite. You know how are those markets doing well china is always far more speculative than we are in fact somebody actually said to me once he said he was over in china and he said you know its like an organized capitalism over there theyre far more actually entrepreneurial and very speculative theyve actually taken out of lot of loans dont forget theyre buying on debt take out the stock market so they will have obviously greater swings than europe will and what about the nikkei that japan the nikkei average about the same thing but not to the same extent of the chinese they dont but theyre not as speculative as the chinese are they dont take as much risk you know you know i talked to one of the headlines a investors are worried about some of the Economic Data coming out in part in particular u. S. Inflation data is coming out on wednesday yes and its almost like theres a hair trigger that mentality that anything you worry could indicate more volatile markets is that just how it is in times like this i mean did you for example just expect a correction like many people did in markets the minute that they announce the package i think what it is is that albeit that the other spending package its not what republicans normally stand for republicans normally have a fiscally conservative fiscal restraint i think they were obviously so many concessions were made to get this passed that you have a greater spend than anybody really was anticipating thats really whats at issue here everything that happened on the fifth was right after that announcement so you know and you know generally people were it almost became embarrassing to be hillary saying theres a correction coming theres a correction coming but after i said it for four or five months i was like well you know whens it coming but did it come more fast and furiously than you thought it would come you know i think at some point Everybody Knows you cant keep going up you just cant and what goes up must come down. And the stock market over time Everybody Knows has continued to expand and we have but we have been in a bull market for a very long time now some correction however dont forget a thousand points with how high we are now when you are in like the twenty four thousand range twenty five thousand range a thousand point drop isnt the huge percentage that it was the thousand points was a lot more drastic and they are in a military training eighty seven thousand points is a lot but not is a smaller percentage nowadays so did i think it was going to happen everybody everybody not just me Everybody Knows there was going to be a correction we are not yet in a bear market some people say a bear market is coming i think youre going to see jitters no matter what after that Interest Rates but still were all time low for Interest Rates theyre still low fundamentally theres one thing to look at the fundamentals of the marketplace we have good employment we have good Economic Outlook were on a steady for ching as is europe it is not a vol of tile economic underpinning that is the key to to view everything with a stable economy begets a stable market in the long term i could not agree with you more purely for the present to stroll mark thank you again for being here absolutely see you again yes. President trump is pushing to cut food stamps by partially replacing the program that feeds americas poorest with what they call meal kits the proposal calls called Americas Harvest box once to bring it made in the usa Food Products to over sixteen million households as arties alex mahela bitch tells us homemade meals are popular around the world and this program is just a variation of that idea alex joins us as always from toronto alex thanks again for all your help at this time tell us a little bit about these meal kits and how theyre used outside of the u. S. But its interesting when we talk about the bus were talking about food stamps and how we can help the poor when it comes to the rest of the world it actually is a question of maybe not the rest the world but lets say asia the wealthier countries and Canada Australia etc its a question of being time poor so its families that want to have more time on their hands to do more things with their kids and with each other so what these kids are the guy they come to your house with is basically a bunch of vegetables and meats and dairy and whatever else you might need to cook a meal theres a little recipe there and then you cook it all the ingredients are measured out and you seem like a gourmet chef at the end of it because everything was measured out and you were told what to do but instead of having to go to the store and buy everything on your own what happens here is that its all preprepared for you so its a Popular Service taiwan happens to be one of the places that its doing well but all numbers indicate that this is kind of sliding down that people that like to cook like to cook and they like to pick the products out themselves but there are there are other services as you know that do this for Different Reasons in both canada and the states we have meals on wheels so people that cant be the disabled be they old or whatever reason they cant go out and get their groceries thats how we have these prepared meals brought to them schools here in toronto for example there are now private services that deliver healthier meals to kids at schools so you know these are all great things but my favorite hands down happens to be in. And thats where you have this thing called the tipping or the double box its multilayered i bought one for my wife like four layers of little tin thing and they have this group theyre called in mumbai its since eight hundred ninety theyve been doing this so for ten dollars a month or less the money by tip and Box Suppliers Association which is five thousand guys on bicycles running around carrying meals for hot cooked meals come from home to the people that theyre supposed to go to and theyre out offices they deliver two hundred thousand meals a day this way so somebody is cooking at home and this guy comes picks it up takes it in the box to the person and then they deliver this empty tip and at the end of the day they have a ninety nine point nine percent accuracy rate of doing this for over a hundred years its actually unbelievable and the fact that matters so people are even saying these guys should be certified six six sigma but if you ask them they dont even know what that means they just know how to do something really really efficiently you know i was going to let your when you said eighteen ninety i thought well he just misread i mean you know it must be a mistake and i ought us out of let it go and not ask you that is incredible that theyve been doing it and you say two hundred thousand meals and theyre delivering it on bicycles so are they the biggest player in this milk at Delivery Services is it india or is it somebody else i would think is then you know really like first of all you just got to give it to them for being there around so long but i mean five thousand guys on bikes thats a lot of people but if we look at the states here theres a little bit of a graph of the big players are in the straits in the states and blue apron i mean they come in number one in a big bad way seventy one percent of the market share back in two thousand and sixteen some are saying now its about eighty percent of the market share but when i say market share thats not necessarily a massive market share the problem with this is the blue apron last year when it i. P. O. Came out at ten ended up at four dollars and twenty nine cents the worst performing i. P. O. Of the year now there might be a while walmart bailouts are saying that maybe walmart by actually buy into this company and working with trump wants to do what he wants to do so blue apron is actually a company with a lot of people are looking to make that happen and bring these meals to less fortunate people you are a fountain of information are to correspondent and chef alex mahela vetch thank you you thank.

And weve got asian and european stocks but we did not yet get to u. S. Equities and here to join us is melissa arm of stocks militia thank you for much for being with now let me get one thing straight is that these thought stocks whoosh or stocks whoosh and their wine bar is to rafiq ok all right well you know we love you we want to get the name of your company correct so most are go founder of stocks which thank you for joining us melissa what do you what is your what are your take on things going on now we seem to have another day today thats a little bit up but are we worried about some of this Economic Data coming out and all of a sudden thats going to be a Tipping Point were going to see some more of vexing volatility. I dont think the volatility is over i think that we held today we held yesterday we rallied in the close on friday but to me it really is a week called we are not that far off the highs so overall for a long Term Investor the markets a looks very bullish but your fear trader or if youre a swing trader i would in the have bought right back into this market on friday or monday or today because we still possibly could go down and retest the lows from friday and i will tell you if we did do we could break that so i dont know i would say to be safe wait until we rally over that big selloff day that was one week ago today when the market really tanked once we get over the high of that day which in the spiders is around two seventy five ish that i would still a lot better about saying go ahead get in long swing traders day traders the markets going to move up and make another brand new all time high the Economic Data this week you know the market could have a move but i dont know if its going to be up from that and we wont know until it happens and speaking of Economic Data you know whats next week that the federal open markets committee the Federal Reserve meets and to discuss raising Interest Rates that could be another thing that thats out there melissa let me ask you though theres all theres this montra in trading that you buy the dip and so when when when prices go down and weve seen you know were in two correction territory as weve discussed on the program before ten percent down from the market highs which were thirty percent up year over year in january but you know youre doing some caution about getting back in but are you some deals out there should some of our viewers be looking at buying the dip. No i wouldnt say anyone should be buying any debts and thats not the way that i look at the chart again im a technical trader but whether technically or fundamentally you look at it again the market strong i say you know your time horizon if youre a long Term Investor and you want to buy the dip thats fine but know you could get jostled around a lot because its really not a good idea to predict the low and predict the high why because youre never going to be able to do that consistently over the long haul wait wait to the market gives you the confirmation and im telling you where that is its over the high of everything in the dow and this five and the kids if you look at charts or any of the things that fell from last monday wait until they get over that high about big selling bar that started the correction the start of the collapse down so no i wouldnt be buying any dips because heres the thing how many tips are we going to have how do you know this is the last step its not that were not going to move higher eventual e. Is it going to be in the next week in the next two days is it going to take two months i dont know so i cant predict that i wait until it happens and its going to be where i said and its probably going to happen when the market caps up in the premarket it opens a lot higher in the morning at nine thirty and rallies all day and we probably lift over that high of that past monday but i cant say for sure if thats going to happen this week and i dont know if its going to happen in the next month so you wait you wait until it happens because if you dont have a high threshold for pain and for risk you could be in the market happy as a clam today and yesterday and then all of a sudden tomorrow you might be down and you might not be able to handle it and if that happens im telling you people wont be able to handle it theyre going to get scared and they get a quick sell out and thats going to push the market down have another big red day because people jumped in to quick in my opinion if theyre in now this may go along with your your thought about not buying dip not getting in but let me test your patience on this question what about rebalancing if people have you know lost some. Thinking wait a minute i dont want the same exposure ive had in the past should they should they. Should they should they maybe rebalance their portfolio or is your advice just the same for now unless you want to get smacked around a little bit. Its not a yes or no answer because it depends on your situation if youre thirty five hour youre sixty five they answer that question is going to be a lot different are you retired or are you going to retirement you know you dont know if you have a lot of time to vest of the market id say stay with it if youre near retirement or in retirement right now and thats a different story melissa its always so great to have you really appreciate your advice for listening to it i know our viewers appreciate it as much as we do the show most arm of the founder of stocks thank you for joining us. The trump of ministration is seeking as part of other Budget Proposal to increase fees for derivative trades in order to offset other expenditures like increased defense spending i know a lot about this tactic ive seen it before republican and democratic administrations they they do this really its a smoke and mirrors sort of deal and theyve done it over and over they try to say theyre going to increase user fees on this or that in this case with regard to fees for trading in derivatives but they never seem to push the legislative agenda forward they never provide the actual bill to congress and my view is that these markets in particular with regard to this proposal by the administration are good for the public because they impractical we call price discovery that is you know we these markets impact what we pay for just about everything that is the commodities markets that they want to tax whether or not its food or fuel or Interest Rate to pay on a Home Mortgage or a student loan therefore the government in my view has a responsibility to ensure that the markets are policed that there is cops on the beat and that the prices that we pay for about everything we use are devised in an efficient and effective manner that said if the government fails if the government fails to provide the needed resources to regulators then weve got to figure out some way to fund them but thats not what the Trump Administration is interested in thats not what the obama and the Clinton Administration are rested and they dont care they just want to get something inactive and its a little bit sick cynical i know but look guys ive seen this movie to see it before.
