Instead, they’re spending because they have access to one more line of credit.Credit cards… store financing… “zero-interest” promotions…We’re not watching a healthy consumer.Instead, we’re watching a consumer stretching tomorrow to survive today – and retailers figuring out slick and creative ways to let it happen.This is not “demand.” This is desperation disguised as tradition.And as traders, here’s what we need to understand…With every situation comes opportunity.And right now, we have a big one setting up…SPONSOREDThe Elon Musk “Mystery Metal” That Could Break China’s Grip Trump called America’s rare-earth dependence a “national emergency.” But one potential breakthrough… quietly engineered by Elon Musk… could end that crisis forever. And one tiny company is sitting at the center of it all. Musk is expected to make an announcement any day now.See more about this secret project here.Target’s Pain = Amazon’s GainAs we all know, it’s been rough sledding for Target lately – as bad management/bad messaging decisions have pushed the stock down 45% over the last 5 years. As the holiday shopping season now gets into high gear, will Target’s ongoing pain mean more opportunity for competitors – namely, Amazon?That’s a trend that I’d like to zero in on in December.JPMorgan estimates that e-commerce spending will increase 7% this season. Amazon already controls 46% of the e-commerce market.If this already substantial lead grows even more, it could be time to get positioned in AMZN for a December run.
