Episode notes

This week's "Stansberry Insider Weekly" recaps the week in business and economic news. Friday opened with a bombshell announcement that the President and First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19. Before that, Trump and Biden had their first debate on Tuesday. In Jessica’s opening monologue, we’ll hear what both candidates had to say about the economic recovery, China and healthcare. We will also check in on efforts to pass a stimulus package which is in negotiation between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

The recent U.S. sanctions against China’s largest chip maker, SMIC, have hurt China’s largest chip maker, and its telecom giant, Huawei, but they also matter to investors in technology companies which rely on this fundamental ingredient in so many digital devices. CEO of Stansberry China, James Early, joins Jessica to explain what the sanctions mean for American technology investors.

A sign of maturity for the Chinese stock markets.  Four exchange trade funds (ETF’s) will now follow the Star 50 on the Nasdaq-equivalent, Star Market.. Jessica asks Brian Tycangco, from True Wealth Opportunities: China, the significance of this move and which companies and investors benefit.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd and there are a lot of corporations urging us to get out to vote. Enrique Abeyta of Empire Financial Research thinks there’s a little overkill but it’s a good thing for Social Activism.  He joins Jessica to offer analysis.

In her closing thoughts, Jessica reacts to the news that the President has tested positive for coronavirus.
