This edition turns on the tension between Nike has been removed from the S&P 100 after years of weak stock performance, marking a setback for the iconic consumer brand.

Billy's alert channel did not contain a recent actionable level.
The evidence
The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: Michael Pettis flags an irony at the heart of China’s trade imbalance debate: the causes of its export surplus remain deeply contested. Weak domestic consumption, large surpluses and doubts over yuan undervaluation keep pressure on trade policy. NEW: 📊 Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said this week, he’s staying “contrarian” and expecting a strong September for markets. “I think the odds of a September rate hike might actually drop to zero,” Lee added. 🎙️ ▻ Anthony Pompliano said women accounted for 98% of U.S. jobs created in August. He said the focus on healthcare and education misses a broader immigration dynamic shaping labor market gains. Andrew Lokenauth used a dating anecdote to explain why the Federal Reserve buys Treasury bills. The point was financial literacy: translating central bank balance-sheet operations into terms a broader audience can understand. Trump: Canada's dollar disparity with U.S. is unacceptable
Targets and expectations
The BWB source record did not provide a verified next-price target in this window. Rather than inventing one, the journal leaves targets unstated and focuses on the reported catalysts and market positioning.
Billy's take
My read starts with the biggest verified catalyst, then Bitcoin and broad-market positioning, then the exact support, resistance, or target levels actually stated by the desk. If BWB did not publish a level, I will not make one up. Respect risk and wait for confirmation.
