(7/10/23) NVDIA sets the tone as Earnings Season begins. Companies this time need to achieve a double-beat on earnings as well as sales. Banks & Financials will lead the way this week: What will Loan Loss Reserves foretell? Employment report missed estimates for the first time in 14-months. Has the market sell-off begun? Examining the relationship between the markets and the economy: Why Sales matter (and the problem with depending on Operating Earnings). The impact of stock buy-backs (and associated accounting gimmicks) on earnings; just how profitable are companies, really? The downside of buy-backs and the need for bailouts. What if the Recession is still out there?  Preview of the NFIB Small Business Report: Why no one pays attention. Is the trough of economic weakness behind us, or more to come? The Roberts' Family weekend; still a lot of bullish attitudes in the markets; FOMO is back. Investors are more focused on fewer stocks; the Fed is caught between the markets and inflation. Earnings estimates do not support what is happening in most companies. If you missed the boat, another one is coming.   SEG-1: Earnings Season Begins: Beware NVDIA SEG-2: The Markets vs The Economy: Why Sales Matter SEG-3: NFIB Small Business Preview SEG-4: Robert's Family Weekend; FOMO is Back   Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer -------- Watch today's show on our YouTube channel:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BrLi52A6CA&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1&t=6s -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell | "Will the Market Sell-off Continue this Week?" is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tv1HWX0XWQ&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 --------  Our previous show is here: "Shifting from Accumulation to Distribution in Retirement" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0FtoN-4dZw&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 -------- Register for our next web event: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6816835709464/WN_ItmsNXpsRs2uKE6xOrJtdg ------- Articles mentioned in today's show: Q2 Earnings Season Begins – Will It Support The Bulls? https://realinvestmentadvice.com/newsletter/ ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #InvestingAdvice #EarningsSeason #SalesResults #Employment #Economy #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Markets #Money #Investing
