Continued bluster on U.S.-China trade, a flattening yield curve and predictions for a 2019 earnings slowdown have helped send the S&P 500 Index down more than 3 percent since he last weighed in. It swung at least 1 percent one way or the other on eight days in that span, and is now negative for the year.
