A Princeton study confirms that a certain corner of the market is being shrouded in a veil of secrecy. The "powers that be" are hiding it because they don't want to split the money pie with you. This corner of the market hits, on average, for 41 price doubles every single day. Forty-one is just an average. Last Monday, it notched 172 price doubles. The next 41 doubles are scheduled to occur Monday at exactly 9:30 AM EST. Click here for details.


The Death of TV, Annoying Politicians and the Most Unexpected Economic Stimulus Plan
By LOUIS BASENESE, Chief Investment Strategist

It's Friday in the Wall Street Daily Nation!

That means the long-winded analysis is out. (Hallelujah!)

And some carefully selected charts are in. (Amen!)

So without further ado, check out these snapshots that show the big thorn stuck in small business' side; how a single penny can provide $1 billion in economic stimulus; and the latest technological fad sweeping the nation - courtesy of the internet.

The Blame Game

I've featured the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index here before. So what's the latest reading tell us?

Even when Washington is closed, politicians are still a major problem.


In the latest survey, taxes and government regulations topped the list (again). Combined, the two categories ranked as the biggest problems facing 41% of small business owners.

Third in line? Poor sales.

As Bespoke Investment Group notes, "It doesn't say much for the business climate in the United States when businesses are two and a half times more worried about how the government is going to regulate and tax them than they are about actually moving merchandise."

No, it doesn't.

Imagine for a moment what the economic recovery would be like if the government would just move and get out of the way!

I know - not going to happen. So let's get back to reality...

No More Pain At the Pump

I'm pretty sure every American noticed that average gasoline prices are down more than 15% since February.

What many probably don't realize, though, is that every penny of lower gas prices per gallon yields $1 billion in economic stimulus, according to Deutsche Bank's (DB) Joe LaVorgna.


If the price drops continue, look for consumer confidence and holiday spending numbers to perk up.

Falling oil and gas costs promise to provide a lift to the transportation sector, too, making the iShares Transportation ETF (IYT) a timely investment.

Video Killed the Radio Star... and the Internet Killed TV

The internet relegated print media to insignificance. And it's about to do the same to traditional television.

More than five million Americans have already "cut the cord." That is, they ditched traditional pay television services in favor of online content from the likes of Hulu, Netflix (NFLX), Aereo, YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes video and Google Play.

The trend is accelerating, too, according to new data from analyst Craig Moffett.


From August to September, cable TV subscriptions dropped by 687,000. Meanwhile, the 800-pound gorilla in the online streaming industry, Netflix, notched another strong quarter of growth - adding 1.3 million subscribers.

So for every one American who ditched cable TV, almost two signed up for Netflix.

The investment implications couldn't be clearer: Go short cable television and long video streaming.

That's it for this week. Before you go, though, let us know what you think of this weekly column - or any of our recent work at Wall Street Daily - by going here.

Ahead of the tape,


Louis Basenese

Income is hot these days. Everyone's looking for a steady flow of money they can use to pay down debt, help with monthly expenses, sock away for retirement, etc. Problem is, the markets aren't doing much of anything these days. Bank accounts pay squat... and certificates of deposit barely keep up with inflation. But there is one source of income most folks overlook. So long as you have a funded and active brokerage account, it's money that can be paid to you instantly, just for entering the trade. And you never have to give it back. See details here.
