Hey friend,

We got the usual weekly jobless claims numbers this morning, which came in at 208,000 – slightly below the 210,000 forecast.

We also got some quarterly productivity data, which came in line with expectations at 4.9%.

Finally we got the trade deficit numbers, which at $29.4 billion – was not only half the expected $58.4 billion…

But was also the lowest figure since 2009.

Tomorrow – we get the topline unemployment rate numbers.

Let’s see how the markets have been moving.

**Note:** All indexes closed largely negative yesterday and opened lower today – but with all index directions remaining in the green.

## The Daily Nugget

**_The more divergent the market opinions, the bigger the potential opportunities._**

If everybody in the market thinks the same thing, there will be no room to beat the market.

Because remember, there are always two sides to a trade…

_Both_ sides think they’re getting the “better” of the other…

But only _one_ side can be right.

If everybody had the same opinion, no one would sell to each other.

That’s why market-beating opportunities can only be created because not everybody in the market thinks the same.

And by extension, the more _different_ the opinions are – the _bigger_ the potential opportunities.

Right now, half the financial press is calling for another big year of outsized stock returns…

While the other half is bracing for the bursting of the AI bubble.

So you know there are a _lot_ of divergent opinions – and a _lot_ of opportunities.

That’s why **tomorrow, Friday January 9 at 11 a.m. Eastern…**
