In fact, sometimes it’s stupidly simple. You heard me right… —Recommended Link— What to Do Before Stocks Sink 57% With the stock market hitting record highs, most people think we must be in pretty good shape. But hold on a minute. According to Yale professor Robert Shiller, stocks are 57% too high. That’s 14,000+ points on the Dow. Shiller won a Nobel Prize for his work on stock prices. And if he’s right, millions of investors could be about to see their investment accounts crushed. Don’t let that happen to you. Click here to see how you can avoid the same fate.

That’s because studies have shown the more well-known a market-beating strategy becomes, the less it becomes a market-beating strategy. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Why So-Called Market “Edges” Soon Disappear Back in 1981, an academic named Rolf Banz published a paper on something called the “small-firm effect.” It showed that buying small-cap stocks generated “abnormal returns,” even when adjusted for risk. At around the same time, researchers uncovered the “value effect,” which showed that buying stocks… Read More

If you’ve never heard of Bill James, don’t feel bad. Until recently, his name was only reverently whispered among circles of “statheads” — a small but growing community of baseball fans who sought to more accurately quantify the performance of players beyond traditional measurements. After leaving the Army, James earned degrees in English, economics and education from the University of Kansas. He got his start writing about baseball in the 1970s while working the nightshift as a security guard at the Stokely-Van Camp pork and beans cannery.

If you’ve never heard of Bill James, don’t feel bad. Until recently, his name was only reverently whispered among circles of “statheads” — a small but growing community of baseball fans who sought to more accurately quantify the performance of players beyond traditional measurements. After leaving the Army, James earned degrees in English, economics and education from the University of Kansas. He got his start writing about baseball in the 1970s while working the nightshift as a security guard at the Stokely-Van Camp pork and beans cannery. But rather than following the traditional sports writing narrative, James’ curiosity led him to question the way baseball statistics informed the decisions teams made about everything from game strategy to building a team. At first, his work was dismissed and considered “unreadable” by major publishers. So James self-published his writings, often accompanied by pages and pages of statistical information. As the years went by, James’ work slowly gained respect, and his research helped pioneer a field known as “sabermetrics” — or more popularly known today as “moneyball.” —Recommended Link— The Ultimate “Sticky” Revenue Stream Every company is doing it… From Comcast to Spotify… Even your local gym.

Last week, news outlets reported the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s meeting in January. We all know that when the Fed meets, it’s usually big news. Since the financial crisis, the central bank has been ever-so-gradually raising interest rates, from zero, to where they now sit, in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. But ever since equities markets fell sharply to end 2018, the Fed has been sending mixed signals. I won’t bore you with the details, but the short version is that Fed Chair Jerome Powell seemed committed to gradual increases… until things… Read More

Last week, news outlets reported the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s meeting in January. We all know that when the Fed meets, it’s usually big news. Since the financial crisis, the central bank has been ever-so-gradually raising interest rates, from zero, to where they now sit, in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. But ever since equities markets fell sharply to end 2018, the Fed has been sending mixed signals. I won’t bore you with the details, but the short version is that Fed Chair Jerome Powell seemed committed to gradual increases… until things got a little ugly. So the question became whether the Fed would continue raising rates gradually or take an even softer stance going forward. So here’s what we learned from the official notes from the meeting… #-ad_banner-#As it stands, the central bank still holds about $3.8 trillion in Treasury bonds on its balance sheet. The “balance sheet reduction” program, where the Fed was holding U.S. government bonds to maturity without making any new repurchases, will likely conclude at the end of the year. (Remember QE, or quantitative easing? Well, this was quantitative “tightening,” if you will.) Still with me? Good,… Read More

I recently finished remaking one of the rooms at my house into a personal office. After rearranging and unpacking boxes, I found myself thumbing through an old copy of “Beating the Street,” by Peter Lynch. It had been a while since I’ve read it, and I can faithfully report that most of what Lynch writes about still holds up in today’s market. I’m sure you’re familiar with Lynch, but his track record bears repeating. While at the helm of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity, Lynch delivered a 29.2% average annual return from 1977 to 1990.

Probably the greatest mutual fund manager of all time, we have Lynch to thank for popular investing phrases like “invest in what you know,” “10-bagger” (a stock that gains 1,000%), “GARP” (growth at a reasonable price), and more.

That’s thanks to years of experience in the trenches of the high-stakes trading pits in Philadelphia and New York, as well as his sophisticated-yet-simple method of trading. But when Jared came to us with a “crazy hunch” nearly a year ago… we thought he was kidding, or absolutely bonkers. “Is Jared OK?” This question, raised by one of our younger employees around the StreetAuthority offices, was a fair one. He just simply had the stones, or was naïve enough, to ask it out loud. But those… Read More
