Morning Commentary
In a different environment, current valuation would be a major deterrent for investors. Even now, many old school investors are hesitant. They have also been watching this party from the outside with their noses pressed against the window, really wishing they were inside having fun.
One thing that should alleviate their anguish are yields, which are higher than bonds and other investment instruments.
I think the pressure is mounting for professional investment managers to make client’s money rather than offer excuses. This should lead to a wave of cash into the system.
More than likely the catalyst for this would be higher markets. The higher the market goes the more pressure to be in the mix. And this establishes unique opportunities.

Portfolio Approach
We are adding a new position to the Current Buys in Technology in our model portfolio this morning.
Today’s Session
China is stepping up its purchases of American farm goods in order to comply with the Phase 1 trade deal following talks in Hawaii with the U.S this week. China, which is behind on its purchases due to the coronavirus, will be buying numerous agriculture products.
There could be more volatility today as it is quadruple witching, which happens when stock index futures, stock index options, stock options and single stock futures all expire on the same day. This expiration of all four happens 4 times a year on the third Friday of March, June, September and December.
Happy Juneteenth
Today is a day to celebrate the nations victory over the insidious idea and practice of slavery. The founding fathers, even with their own flaws, had the wisdom to create a document that would eventually lead to the moment of freedom for all Americans. The slaves in Texas, however, learned two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today marks the celebration of freedom and self-awareness and acknowledges even positive change does not come easy.
And today, the nation is also facing a seminal moment that will require not only the self-awareness of a nation, but each of us as individuals. Once again, we can lean on our history of evolution rooted in the words of the Constitution. I am confident we are moving in the right direction. I have always been proud and know I am blessed to be an American.
And today that pride has never been stronger.
God Bless America

Charles Your words of wisdom benefit us all. Proud to be an American! Amen! Nikolas Brown on 6/19/2020 10:17:19 AM |
Thank you very much Nikolas. CP Charles Payne on 6/19/2020 10:22:39 AM |
I love hearing your thoughts and heart on this Charles. I love everything that you stand for, I love your story, I love your enthusiasm for life and the life that America has given you the opportunity to build. Thank you for being here twice a day and on TV when I have time to check in. Chris DeGhelder on 6/19/2020 10:43:19 AM |
Charles, been following you on TV as a guest on BULLS/BEARS, VARNEY , Cavuto, and now Host. Your advice is solid. But I am timid. My experience in stocks was mixed at best. Good with MICROSOFT, BAD WITH BOSTON SCIENCE. So I watch you for trend and sector info, but mostly rebalance my Mutual Funds...now tech heavy. I suggest there are more like me and encourage you and FOX BUSINESS to add a MUTUAL FUNDS PROGRAM to focus on movement into and out of those instruments. In any case, I will be following your progress. Nick NICK CIFFONE on 6/19/2020 11:03:44 AM |
Amen..for love, for sanity, for wisdom, for strength, for courage. C Ullmann on 6/19/2020 1:00:29 PM |
