Stocks correct. Britain’s economy is shrinking, China’s debt is soaring, Japan’s trade is plunging. Gold corrects; several analysts see a top here. Oil falls hard. Several more terrorist attacks. Trump makes long, dark acceptance speech, very well-received by Republicans. Clinton picks Tim Kaine for VP. Wikileaks sends DNC into turmoil.
