ECONOMY & MARKETS | October 14, 2016

What Declining Earnings Continue to Tell Us By Rodney Johnson, Senior Editor, Economy & Markets 'Tis the season. Earnings season, that is, and I don't think we're getting any presents. This week Alcoa kicked off the third-quarter earnings announcement season. The next couple of weeks will bring an onslaught of numbers, excuses, deflections, and projections. Company spokesmen and CEOs will spend time explaining why their industry is soft, and how better times are just ahead. If only we remove those sticky one-time events that seem to happen every quarter, they say, we'll realize that the core business is quite healthy, and things are looking up! I've got a better idea. Rather than listening to the talking heads, we should simply review the results. Taken as a whole, things aren't terrible. But they aren't very promising, either. We're struggling just to get back to where we were two years ago. At the start of this year, the consensus estimate was for the earnings of the companies in the S&P 500 to turn positive in the second quarter. U.S. companies suffered a dismal fourth quarter in 2015 that carried over to the New Year, but surely things would get better in short order. They have, but not by much. Can't Make it to the 2016 Irrational Economic Summit? Then We'll Bring Our Top Strategies to You! The number one thing you need do find winners in today's expensive markets… how to both protect AND profit from the coming economic collapse… what next month's election means to your money… and where you should look to capitalize on the upcoming sale of a lifetime on Wall Street. You can access ALL of this critical information and much, much more from the comfort of your own home through our exclusive Irrational Economic Summit LIVE Stream. Presentations by Harry Dent, Dr. Lacy Hunt, David Walker, George Gilder and 16 other world-renowned financial experts… delivered straight to you, live from IES 2016 in Palm Beach, FL. All the details on how to secure your LIVE Stream access are right here. According to FactSet, we're staring down the sixth consecutive quarter of lower year-over-year earnings, which marks the first time this has happened since the company began to track earnings in the third quarter of 2008. Last year, much of the decline was attributed to energy companies. With the price of oil falling out of bed through most of 2015 and fracking all but shut down, energy companies gushed red ink. The carnage was supposed to stop when oil rebounded, but that hasn't happened. Oil is up more than 50% from the end of last year, and yet energy company earnings are expected to fall 63% this quarter. But that's not the only suffering sector. Analysts cut their earnings estimates for materials, real estate, and consumer discretionary companies. If earnings are reported as expected, we will have climbed back to levels first seen in the summer of 2014. It sounds dismal, because it is. Yet the equity markets are near all-time highs. It's as if stock prices are celebrating, even though companies are struggling to make progress. Recently Nike surprised the markets with better-than-expected earnings, but then disappointed with their forward guidance. Essentially, the company said things had been pretty good lately, and enjoyed a boost from the Rio Olympics, but they didn't think the good times would last. These are interesting words, coming from a retail company that typically does well in the fourth quarter due to holiday sales. But don't worry! Everything is fine, right? Analysts estimate earnings will pop 13% in 2017, so the good times will finally be here again. I'll believe it when I see it. And then there's the little matter of stock buybacks. Once the province of failing companies that were eager to shore up their price-earnings ratios by taking shares out of the market, stock buybacks have been all the rage since the financial crisis of 2008. Companies are using their cash stockpiles and debt (courtesy of exceptionally low interest rates) to retire stock by the truckload. In the first quarter of this year, companies in the S&P 500 spent more than $150 billion to buy back their shares. They have spent more than $2 trillion on their own stocks since 2011. When dividends are included with stock buybacks, companies in the S&P 500 have paid investors 112% of what they made in the first half of 2016. To put it mildly, that's unsustainable. These three trends – falling earnings, stock buybacks, and equity market gains – make for an interesting paradox. Companies are telling us in no uncertain terms that growth remains elusive, they can't find a good use for cash, and yet stock buyers keep pushing up share prices. Once again, I'm reminded of the old quote by economist Herbert Stein: "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." After seven years of growth based on shaky fundamentals, trillions of dollars in stock buybacks, and central bank action, equity markets are at risk. Make sure you have a plan for when that "something" that can't go on forever, finally stops. Rodney P.S. Don't forget to join me, the Dent Research team and other financial luminaries like David Walker and Lacy Hunt next week at the Irrational Economic Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida. I look forward to seeing you there. And if you can't make it to the PGA National Resort Oct. 20-22 to take in our presentations and mingle in person, make sure to watch online via our live stream.

Let's Save Our Country

Scott Taylor for Congress

Let's Save Our Country Dear Friends, My goodness, we sure do live in interesting times. This week's political headlines have Democrats thinking of winning back control of Congress. If Hillary Clinton wins this election the only thing that can stop her radical agenda is a Republican-controlled Congress.  We cannot lose our last line of defense. But Nancy Pelosi had this to say: "If the election were held today, the Democrats would regain the House." The last time the Democrats controlled Congress they passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote. This time they'll stock the courts with their liberal lawyers and the executive branch with their hyper-regulators. With just 25 days remaining before the election, I'll be honest with you: I'm concerned Pelosi could be right. Money is pouring into Democratic coffers to win back Congress and we need to respond forcefully. That's why I am personally asking for your help to fund our crucial AD BLITZ campaign. It's the ONLY way to bypass the media to reach undecided voters, convince them to join us and get them to the polls. Pitch in $25 IMMEDIATELY  Pitch in $50 IMMEDIATELY  Pitch in $100 IMMEDIATELY  Pitch in $250 IMMEDIATELY  Pitch in Up To $2700 IMMEDIATELY With ballots already being cast here in our district, we absolutely cannot afford to wait any longer. Please help fund this crucial AD BLITZ to ensure victory for our campaign.  So much is at stake! Let's go win and work together to save our country. Sincerely, P.S.-- Washington is broken, and we need a fresh start. Click here to make a contribution and join Team Taylor today! Paid for and authorized by Scott Taylor for Congress

Obamacare continues to be an anchor on the legs of American business and is totally restructuring what was the greatest health care system in the world.  Read about our speaker and background on this important dinner briefing here.

This is a timely discussion since Hillary Clinton's first foray into national issues was her efforts to foist upon us a program similar to Obamacare when Bill Clinton was our President.  I was one of the national spokesmen in the campaign that finally derailed that effort.  But now we are faced with the results of a one-vote margin of victory in the Senate that brought us Obamacare.

Please join us on Thursday evening, October 13th.
