For god and country, the christian case for trump. Mr. Reed, what is that case and. Guest well, the case in a nutshell is that as christians, were called to not only be citizens of the kingdom of god, which is both here now and yet to come, and were also called to be citizens on earth of whatever policy or society or nation we happen to be part of. And were if you look at the old and the new testament, theres a consistent and clear teaching that we are to exercise that citizenship in a robust and muscular fashion. First of all to defend our rights, within that government, which of course in the United States means rights under the constitution and at the bill of rights, to a freedom of speech to assembly to tree dom of religion. Freedom of religion that are our birthright and then secondly as a witness of our faith. So in the context of the decision by the overwhelming majority of evangelical christians and pro life and pro family and faithful roman catholics to back trump, both in 201

Blocked in by this enormous area of High Pressure covering a large swathes of russia. And because this is so big and fast it will not be butting any time soon. Cloud and rain today across western areas, the heaviest rain across Northern Ireland but it will get into western fringes of scotland and wales and into cornwall as well. Otherwise a largely dry afternoon. The best of the sunshine across Eastern England and eastern areas of scotland. Tonight the rain tends to move away from Northern Ireland and it becomes dry for many but staying pretty cloudy. But it does cloudy skies and temperatures falling to between two and 6 degrees but in any lengthy clear breaks there could be some frost around particularly in the north of scotland. Tomorrow the rain band will at times be affecting the south of england but in Northern Ireland we get much cooler air. So highs of around 7 degrees heading through tomorrow afternoon. Still a lot of crowd around, perhaps some drizzle around north sea coasts.
Russell 2000 index that got our attention this evening the index hitting its own fresh 52week high are the small caps saying big things about the health of this record rally guy. Tim has talked about this and good for dan nathan. Why are you shaking your head . Why . Its monday. Were 30 seconds in. Youre already a downer. Dan mentioned it on the call. Everybody said dan is a downer hes not a downer, he pointed out the russell. 161. 5. That was the high back in may. These are pretty interesting levels the real high is at 173 that we traded back in august 2018 but the small caps are absolutely telling a story they have lagged the Broader Market for a while they seem to be catching up. The question is do we ratchet through this 161 level with the s p trading sideways for a while and retest that 173 high it certainly feels as though thats the next move so yes. Are you optimistic . I bring it up because its obvious. You look at this breakout here weve been looking at this index since the st
Kicks in in china and the u. S. Manufacturing sector contracts for the first time in more than three years. All three major averages ending the day in the red is this just the beginning of a bigger september slide guy . We talked about it last week. Quite frankly i thought we would rally today, i thought thursday, friday made sense we rallied, i thought we would rally again today and towards the end of the later part of this week, early next week we would start to slide. Things are not bullish for stocks right now if the only case for bullish in stocks is that valuations are reasonable and rates are going lower i think you are on pretty thin ice it feels like the market needs to have the next leg down. What ive said before and what i will say again, i think the market bottom will be defined when the vix trades on or around 30, we are at basically 20 now you do the math. I think there is a huge move coming and i think its going to sort of begin in the middle part of this month. Dan yeah
