The one-house budget resolutions released this week include $7 to $8 billion in increased revenues, primarily higher taxes on the wealthy. While far below the $50 billion sought by the Invest in NY campaign, a major increase over prior years. We discuss the various revenue proposals with Ron Deutsch with New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Radio Network.

AUD softer - buying ~74.37 US cents. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announces its latest interest rate decision this afternoon and is expected to leave their benchmark rate unchanged (with more focus likely to be on any commentary around their bond buying stimulus programme). A final reading of Building Permits for July and the Ai Group Services index for August are also on today’s Australian economic calendar.

US equity markets fell on Friday night AEST (10 September) to cap their worst week in nearly three months as renewed concerns about inflation dented optimism over continued central bank support for financial markets - Dow down -272-points or -0.78% . Apple Inc fell -3.31% after a federal judge in the Epic Games Inc case issued an injunction that said the company can no longer force developers to use its payment system, effectively bypassing commission fees of 15% to 30%. However, the iPhone maker was not ruled an antitrust monopolist. The split decision could signal a major shift in the way apps are distributed to consumers and could have even deeper implications for other operators of dominant online platforms such as Google parent Alphabet Inc (down -1.86%) and Amazon.com Inc (-0.43%) The broader S&P500 lost -0.77%. Utilities (down -1.38%) and Real Estate (-1.23%) both fell over >1% on Friday night AEST (13 September) to lead all eleven primary sectors lower. The Nasdaq shed -0.87%. The small capitalisation Russell 2000 fell -0.96%. In merger and acquisition news (M&A), rail operator Kansas City Southern said in a statement Sunday that it has notified rival bidder Canadian National that it intends to terminate a merger agreement and make a US$31B deal with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. Canadian National (CN) still has five business days to negotiate amendments to its offer, and the Kansas City Southern board could determine that a revised CN offer is better.

Optimizing a Global Direct Selling Organization - Landen Fredrick, Mannatech, episode #3

Summary:
Blue Apron Holdings IPO

The Blue Apron Holdings IPO today is reminiscent of the dot com boom.  The market is saying the 5-year old company is worth close to $2 billion. This IPO represents a "down round" which may occur after a company suffers a decline in valuation after it has received initial rounds of capital investment. The initial offering was $10/share, and by the closing bell it only managed to close at $10. This stock may go below $10 as early as tomorrow, as many investors were planning to flip the stock. The concept of this company is not proprietary; indeed the recent merger of Amazon and Whole Foods could pose a serious market threat to this company.
Rand Paul

In more news on this ever-evolving Republican Health Care saga. the Republicans are caving in to media and left spins the Republican Healthcare bill as a re-distribution of wealth from the poor to the rich.  You are not taking from the poor by stealing less from the rich. For some reason, the voting public expects American profit-seeking companies to sell insurance to people who are already sick. This would be the equivalent of selling home insurance for a house that has already burned, or car insurance for a car that has just been in an accident.   Rand Paul is getting a lot of press recently because he is the only Republican who opposes this on principle. He believes in the freedom for Americans to purchase the kind of insurance they need. They can pick their deductible; they can pick their co-pay. They can have the freedom to buy or not to buy health insurance.  But this can only happen in a market where insurance companies are allowed to make a profit and are free to compete for insurance business without government intervention.
U.S. Dollar Continues Decline

    The U.S dollar continued its decline today falling to a fresh 8-month low, closing to about 95.60
    The dollar is being led lower by a surging euro; the euro is actually at a 12-month high against the U.S. dollar
    Trading just below 114.5
    It wasn't too long ago the euro was down around 105, and there was a lot of talk about parity with the dollar
    I was saying that the euro has bottomed; that the euro is going to rise
    And the rise is just now beginning for the euro, I think there's a lot more to this move
    Other currencies are also following the euro's lead, but ultimately I think they will surpass it
    The dollar has a substantial ill-gotten gain that it needs to surrender
    The dollar got bid up for years based on a misunderstanding of the true state of the U.S. economy
    Of the efficacy of Fed monetary policy
    The market was factoring in far more rate hikes than the Fed was capable of delivering
    Meanwhile the economy is rolling over
    I mentioned on my last podcast Mario Draghi's statement about the deflationary threat subsiding
    About the drop in inflation being transitory and the euro rose on that
    The very next day, the ECB went out to do damage control
    Why is it "damage" when the currency is going up?

Strength in Financial Markets

    The only segment of the market that was strong today were the financials
    The banks feel they are going to benefit from higher interest rates, higher spreads
    And here, we had those bogus stress tests where the Federal Reserve supposedly stress-tested all the banks
     And, what to you know? The all passed
     So that is creating a bid for the banks
    I have said this before, when it comes to higher interest rates and banks, be careful what you wish for
