Perhaps the biggest news of the day is that GDP was revised down to a .7% decrease from a .2% increase in the first estimate. Either way the economy slowed in Q1 and either way the Fed will dismiss negative news as transitory in nature. 

The Survey also showed that profits of domestic financial corporations decreased $2.6 billion in Q1, compared with a decrease of $12.5 billion in Q4, while profits of non-financial corporations decreased $100.4 billion compared to an increase of $18.1 billion in Q4. Taxes on corporate income increased $9.3 billion in Q1 in contrast to a decrease of $4.8 billion in Q4. Dividends increased $5.1 billion in Q1, compared with an increase of $18.6 billion in Q4.

If you're an investor with all of your assets tied up in the stock market and cash, you might want to consider a few diversification strategies. Gold is the oldest asset in the world and it's inflation proof. Bitcoin is the gold standard for the cryptocurrency world, which is the fastest growing asset class in the world. Diversifying your portfolio into one or both of these assets can help to insure your portfolio against a stock market crash or inflation. Most importantly, it can help to safeguard the gains you've made over the last 10 years.

Please note that there are other companies that sell gold and Bitcoin on the market, and you should always do your research when making decisions about your portfolio. Just like your personal health, if you're planning on having major surgery, you need to get a second, and sometimes a third, opinion. You want to make sure your surgeon is good and has performed the procedure many, many times.  In the same way, you need to trust your broker and you need to make sure they are reputable. This is the process I used when looking for a broker to recommend.

Full disclosure: RegalAssets compensates me for everyone I send their way, but I would receive compensation from any company I chose to recommend. The only broker I'm recommending is Regal, primarily due to its innovative product offering in my favorite commodities - gold, precious metals and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. They also have a distinguished track record for success (see below).




Next Steps: Use Regal as one of your options and compare against them. Your other brokers should be able to offer the same level of service and the same low rates. The kit is free and it will provide you with a basis for comparison. Don't wait, get started today. Fill out the form below to get your free investment kit.

Every 10 years the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) examines the relevance of certain rules and regulations on financial institutions. Due to Dodd-Frank the review will be a sizable one this year. The FFIEC is requesting public comment for 90 days. You can provide your comments about the need for regulation of the financial industry at the following website: http://egrpra.ffiec.gov/submit-comment/submit-comment-index.html

The April Index of Coincident Economic Indicators was published and showed a deceleration of economic activity in New York City, however it grew at a moderate pace in New York State and New Jersey.
