John explains why he's expecting another volatile week. Scott and John discuss the tension between the EU and Italy, with the EU shooting down Italian budget proposals not once but twice. Scott explains why neither side of this negotiation wants to go to the worst-case scenario, but a temporary standoff between the two sides is necessary. Moving onto Brexit, Scott recaps the big news of the weekend – that Britain and the EU have agreed to a deal. Scott explains why the next step, approval from the UK's parliament, could be the hardest step. Scott notes that two major sticking points in negotiations, the Irish border and the state of Gibraltar, were overcome. Greg explains why the EU isn't working, and how the EU is the reason Brexit is happening. Greg warns of an exodus of countries, potentially causing the EU to crumble. The big market mover into the end of the year is President Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi. Scott and John worry that, with many expecting some sort of agreement, that there could be too much riding on this meeting. President Trump has not backed down from his tariff threats, so if the meeting comes and goes without an agreement, markets could fall.

Emerging Markets are the canary in the coal mine for a China deal.

This week's Stansberry's Investors Marketcast begins with host John Gillin recapping the market's "oversold bounce." John explains why the Dow was the real leader of the week, and how the other major indexes tagged along for the ride. Greg and Scott debate the Fed's November decision to leave rates unchanged. Scott says that the decision should not have come as a surprise because the Fed has said a hike in December is going to happen, despite President Trump's attempts to influence the Fed's policy. Greg questions why the Fed would raise rates with technology names already struggling in a higher interest rate environment. Scott notes how the China standoff is the biggest problem for tech and says that some companies are even considering moving suppliers out of China for good. With the midterm elections over, Scott and John ask if the gridlock in the Senate could delay further tariffs.

On this week's Stansberry Investors Marketcast, John Gillin and Greg Diamond discuss last week's "brutal" markets. All the major indices suffered big losses, and bear markets are popping up everywhere. As John explains, 40% of S&P; 500 companies are now in bear market territory, falling 20% from their highs. John and Greg go over last week's economic data, and John explains why earnings and U.S. GDP are still painting a pretty good picture of the U.S. economy. Greg explains why a second round of tax cuts could become a short-term catalyst and could help relieve some of the trade hurt. John lists some problem areas around the markets, and he and Greg explain why semiconductors look so weak. Greg calls semis a "dumpster fire," and says that the sector's price action is mirroring that of the 2000 bubble. However, he says that President Trump's November meeting with Chinese President-for-life Xi could become a catalyst for the sector to turn around. Going forward, Greg is focused in on the market's reaction to the midterm elections. Greg sees volatility easing after the elections settle, possibly forming a market bottom into a year-end rally. John and Greg list a few catalysts that could really get markets going over the next two months
