In segment one:
U.S. Stocks Slump… U.S. Stocks got hit hard this week with the Dow Jones posting its biggest weekly decline of the year.
Gold, Silver Soar… Meanwhile gold posted its biggest weekly gain in five weeks, gaining 5% on the week. Silver rose 14% this week, its biggest weekly gain in nearly five years.
Poor Walmart Earnings Flash Warning… Additionally, all eyes were on WalMart earnings this week. The world’s largest retailer missed analyst expectations and cut its profit outlook for the rest of 2013, as executives blamed higher taxes and a slowing economy for the poor quarterly numbers.
U.S. Bonds Hit with Historic Selling Pressure… Also this week, the U.S. Treasury dept. reported over $40 billion in long-term treasurys were dumped by foreign investors. That is the largest number on record. Foreign investors continue to dump not just long term bonds, but U.S. mortgage backed securities,, U.S. corporate bonds, and even U.S. stocks.
This summer, the U.S. has experienced the worst capital outflows ever… much worse than the depths of the 2008 financial meltdown.
Soros Wagers $1.25 Billion on U.S. Stock Market Correction…Every quarter, institutional investors are required by law to file a 13F form that reveals their investing activity from the previous quarter. According to George Soros’ 13F filing for the second quarter of 2013, he is bullish on Apple, bearish on gold and the S&P 500. Soros bought a put on 1,248,643 SPY units in the quarter.
