Suze Orman says this is how much money you should have in your emergency fund
If you're trying to get your financial house in order, any number of experts will tell you the same thing: Build up an emergency fund of at least three to six months' worth of living expenses. "They're idiots," Orman said at the 2017 eMerge Americas conference, answering a question about how much to keep in your emergency fund. A million potential scenarios could drain your savings without warning, so it's better to have at least eight to 12 months' worth of living expenses squirreled away.

Trump May Have Built Enough Goodwill to Press Forward with Tariffs Against China
Investors appear to be bracing for a “risk-off” session amid chatter that U.S. President Donald Trump will press ahead with additional tariffs on Chinese products. According to a report from Reuters, President Trump is expected to announce today “pretty significant action” in tariffs on Chinese goods worth around $50 billion. Some are saying that Trump is leveraging his denuclearization deal earlier in the week with North Korea against China, perhaps feeling he doesn’t need them to negotiate with the rogue nation.

Big Biotech Set for Earnings Blowout?
Earlier this year, Oppenheimer's Hartaj Singh argued that earnings expectations were too high for big biotech companies heading into the first-quarter reporting season. Ahead of the reports, due out in mid-July, Singh argues that fundamentals for large-cap biotech, as well as sector sentiment are "slowly but surely improving," leading him to believe that the stocks could outperform, led by Gilead Sciences (GILD), Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). For Gilead, he's upbeat about a more stable pricing environment for hepatitis C treatments, while investors are getting more interested in the company's "budding" immunology and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) franchises, setting up an attractive risk-reward profile going into the second quarter. Alexion reported "stellar" first-quarter earnings, and Singh sees another strong quarter ahead, and he wonders "when the Street will start giving management credit for relentless execution." Vertex is one of his favorite large-cap biotechs, and he sees a good report ahead, along with an update about the progress of its cystic-fibrosis drugs.
