It’s a story we’ve heard before… Tech stocks are on fire this week, and as a result the stock market is once again closing in on historic highs. Luckily, I never get sick of that kind of story. Part of the recent strength comes from Apple (AAPL), which climbed more than 6% yesterday and saw its value eclipse $2.1 trillion. I talk about everything that’s going on with the largest publicly traded company in today’s new episode of MoneyLine, including its big announcement of a 5G iPhone and what it means for the massive 5G investment theme. Elsewhere in the tech sector, Amazon (AMZN) kicks off its COVID-delayed Prime Day today. It’s about to be big, as sales are projected to hit $10 billion for the first time ever.

We’re at a very unique point in time right now. We’re in the early stages of what I’m calling the “Roaring 2020s” – a decade that I believe will present endless and massive moneymaking opportunities for investors. I’m talking about everything from tech stocks in the U.S. and abroad to the rise of the blockchain and altcoins to the emergence of frontier countries that will grow into the next China. In today’s new episode of MoneyLine, I want to help you make the most of these opportunities. And to do that, I highlight four of the most exciting trends of the decade to come. The first is biotech, and longtime MoneyWire readers know that I’ve been bullish on this industry for years.

It’s been a crazy few days in the world. But then again, it’s 2020. So that’s par for the course. Since my last MoneyLine podcast aired on Friday, the president was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with COVID-19 and then released yesterday. The market is watching. Stocks initially fell on the news before rallying to kick off this week. The S&P 500 is now at its best level in a month and within striking distance of its best level EVER. I’ll go over all the details of the last few days in today’s new episode of MoneyLine. We’ll discuss if the recent buying has been driven by President Trump’s return to the White House or if it has more to do with the poll numbers swinging in favor of Joe Biden.

I awoke this morning to the same big news you did, that the President of the United States and the First Lady both tested positive for COVID-19. Both will be in quarantine in the White House for the foreseeable future. I certainly join others in hoping for a speedy recovery for them and all infected with the virus, and that efforts to find a successful vaccine pay off as fast as possible. As you can imagine, stock futures turned lower immediately when the news broke overnight, and the major U.S. indices opened down 1.2% to 2.0%. Hopes for another stimulus bill helped bring stocks off their lows pretty quickly. This news injects additional uncertainty in the market, and on today’s new episode of MoneyLine, I break down how this will affect stocks going forward. What does it mean heading into the election?

Get ready for some must-see TV! The first presidential debate is tonight, and it could get very interesting – for a lot of reasons. I suspect it may finally start to shed some light on who could win the election coming up quickly on November 3. The election is definitely a hot topic for investors right now, but it’s far from the only one. There’s the recent correction in the market… the continuing pandemic… upcoming earnings reports… and so much more at top of mind. That’s why on today’s new episode of MoneyLine, I welcome one of the brightest minds in the financial world – Ryan Detrick. Ryan is the chief market strategist at LPL Research, and he joins me for the entire show today.
