Dear eMBers,

Your Morning Bullets are here. Let’s dig in. 

INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Update 

Since there’s not a whole lot of excitement in the world of futures this morning, we’re going to hone in on what’s going on in real estate.

Even with today marking the day of the Phase 1 agreement, not much is happening.

Meanwhile, in real estate, purchase application volume has hit the highest level since October of 2009.

They rose 16% for the week.

And are up 8% versus a year ago.

The refinance numbers are even more staggering.

Applications jumped 43% for the week.

And were 109% higher than they were a year ago.

The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are at the lowest levels since September.

Unfortunately, buyer demand is bumping heads with near record-low supply.

That’s driving prices us.

What else is going on?

Check it out.

YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS

We all know that most of Silicon Valley is made up of the Liberal Overlords.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

That’s why a new advocacy group is forming a conservative coalition of the tech elite.

All with the aim of building conservative influence in Silicon Valley.

It’s known as the Lincoln Network. It’s an invitation-only gathering that meets quarterly. Attendees include computer engineers, software developers and activists from every single corner of the tech world.

According to the co-founder Garrett Johnson, it’s the first effort of its kind.

And it’s already making waves in the region.

“We think it’s really important to try to bring people together who believe in free markets and a light-touch approach.”

And they bill themselves the “largest community of tech professionals devoted to building an alliance of liberty and technology.”

Can conservative thought and action overcome the Liberal Overlords we’re so used to?

Check it out.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

Last night’s Democratic debate was pretty much a snooze fest.

But if you’re waking up and reading the headlines this morning, you might find a little spring in your step.

Because it looks like they might be calling witnesses in Part 2 of the Impeachment Trial.

And we don’t just mean the Democrats.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has pitched the idea of “witness reciprocity” and it looks to be picking up some steam.

The idea has been floating around for a minute.

If the Democrats want to call new witnesses, why can’t we?

But it was formally pitched in a Tuesday meeting with senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and some other GOP leaders.

And it’s got quite a bit of support.

Basically, for every new witness Democrats want to all (think John Bolton), Republicans would call one of their own.

Think of names like Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff and the “unknown” whistleblower.

“We’ll be dealing with the witness issue at the appropriate time into the trial. And I think it’s certainly appropriate to point out that both sides would want to call witnesses if they wanted to hear from them. So if you get to that issue, I can’t imagine that only the witnesses our Democratic colleagues wnt to call will be called.”

Donald Trump Jr. loves the idea.

What about you?

Do you love it or hate it?

AN ESSENTIAL 5G COMPONENT…

5G has been promised for years.

In 2019, it’s finally here.

By year’s end… almost 100% of the country will be 5G-capable.

Stocks have already shot up in anticipation of its arrival.

Extraordinary gains like 11,567%… 8,580%… 7,311%…

The list goes on and on.

Apple isn’t the only smartphone maker launching a 5G-enabled phone. Every major consumer electronics company on the planet is launching its own 5G devices.

And every single one of these devices – they will number in the billions – will depend on an essential component to connect to 5G. Jeff Brown spotted the company that provides that component. This is a stock that investors will want to own.

Due to the amount of activity, this opportunity can end at any time.

TRUMP IS WINNING

Project Vertias is always exposing the truth.

This time, their spotlight fell on the Bernie Sanders campaign.

Specifically a campaign staffer by the name of Jyle Jurek.

He’s been recorded saying a lot of crazy things.

Like “cities burn” if Trump gets reelected.

And that you and I might need to be “re-educated” to stop supporting Trump.

Or being Nazis.

And that gulags weren’t really such a bad thing.

And they think we’re the crazy ones?

Check it out.

CRAZY-INTERESTING OR RIDICULOUSLY-WEIRD

Are you okay with the idea of xenobots?

They’re about 1 millimeter wide and are basically tiny machines made up of biological materials.

Many believe they could one day heal or bodies or clean up the environment.

The research was just published on Monday.

These reconfigurable organisms can’t reproduce, feed themselves or respond to stimuli – yet!

But they can feed off energy supplied by their cells. They can move with intent and they can repair their injuries.

Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen some sci-fi movies that make me think twice about these little guys.

What about you?

Crazy or Weird?

ADDITIONAL READING AND RESOURCES (ARR)

Here’s my #1 loophole for this tax season.

I call it “the paycheck loophole.”

It doesn’t matter whether you make $50,000 or $500,000…

Kiplinger says it can add “thousands of dollars each year.”

To prove it, I reached out to David Andrews, a regular salaried employee of ours.

See how it’s changed David’s life here.
