Hey friend,

We got some manufacturing data this morning, which showed a further decline in manufacturing activity – a decline that was lower than expectations.

Tomorrow, we get some critical jobs data – including retail sales data.

Let’s see how markets have been moving.

## The Daily Direction

**Note:** Indexes took a sharp dip on Friday and have been moving lower today as well. The short and medium-term direction for the Nasdaq slipped into negative territory.

## The Daily Nugget

**_The only thing that truly matters in the markets is supply and demand._**

When it comes to making money in the markets, you can only do so based on price.

And price is always based on supply and demand.

Do things like fundamentals and such matter?

Of course they do – but only indirectly.

If a stock has better fundamentals, it likely will have better demand…

Which will send its price rising.

The effect is indirect.

Again, the only direct effect on a stock’s price is supply and demand.

Everything else is indirect.

That’s why **tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…**

Head Trader Ross Givens is going LIVE to show you how to go _directly_ tap into the BIGGEST source of market demand…

And leverage it for your own profits.
