Thanks for all of the feedback yesterday on our SNAP vs. TWTR debate. It seems there's a pretty good split of supporters out there for each stock going forward. There were some interesting comments regarding SNAP's ability to leverage their young user base over the next several years.

This has obviously worked for Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet (GOOGL) quite well in recent years, as both companies have made a very predominant effort to get their products into the hands of schools, and ultimately the younger generation they'll be looking to sell to for the rest of their lives.

Not a bad strategy at all when a company like Microsoft (MSFT) just recently announced their own education driven initiatives. Problem is Alphabet and Apple both are already deeply embedded in the space, so it will be interesting to see if Microsoft can make any headway there.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families that fell victim to another horrible act of terror last night over in Manchester, England. Such a sad event for so many families who just wanted to go to a concert and have a little fun. Life is so precious. What a brutal and evil world we can live in at times.

It makes trying to say anything positive today tough, but I did have a little debate here earlier this morning about how some think Snap (SNAP) has a huge future, and how I think Twitter (TWTR) will likely become the single fastest most efficient way anyone around the world can get news. It's already like that already, however, it doesn't seem as though the company itself has quite figured that out yet.

The quick debate this morning was centered around which stock is the better buy right now - Snap (SNAP), an already failed IPO at this point, or Twitter (TWTR), a failed stock for so many reasons following its highs of over $70 per share back in late 2013.

Looks like the markets have settled a bit after yesterday's blood bath when pretty much everything but commodities got clobbered. I'm not going to go on and on today about the developing reflationary economy so many of us here talk about all of the time, but based on what happened yesterday, it's probably pretty prudent investors start taking notice of commodities - even the more obscure ones.

Most of us tend to focus on things like gold, silver, copper and oil. However, when you look around, investors can make money in commodities many of us simply take for granted, and others we never even really think about.

Take chicken for example - yes chicken - the commodity is something most everyone around the world consumes, but virtually every retail investor out there never even considers investing in it. Look at this daily chart of Sanderson Farms (NASDAQ: SAFM) - chickens are no joke.

It's more like Trough Day not Hump Day, but either way it's definitely not Trump Day. The markets are getting hammered, but it doesn't come as any surprise to the guys over at Elite Opportunity Pro (EOP). You might remember we re-published one of their editions the other day pointing to this type of price activity looming in the markets with the VIX having achieved a historical ten-year low just last week.

If you missed the edition, here it is again: http://www.smallcapnetwork.com/Macro-Analysis-of-What-the-VIX-May-Be-Saying-Lies-Ahead/s/article/view/p/mid/7/id/2326/. It's definitely an article everyone should be interested in at least reviewing in anticipation of what may lie ahead over the next several months.

EOP publishes their daily newsletter every trading day of the week, and today they revealed where they think these markets are headed. Not only did they break it down in plain English, they provided four different reasons why they thought these markets could be in for lower levels ahead.
