If you only read the headlines on Friday, June 9, you might have thought that financial Armageddon was upon us. Major tech companies like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google parent Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) fell as much as 6% in intraday trading. Meanwhile, the technology sector fell 1.53% and dragged the Nasdaq Composite Index down 113 points, or about 1.8% for the day. The selloff in tech stocks continued into Monday. Headlines screamed that this could be the start of the next major selloff and warned that this major bull market could be nearing its end.  I hope you… Read More

If you only read the headlines on Friday, June 9, you might have thought that financial Armageddon was upon us. Major tech companies like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google parent Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) fell as much as 6% in intraday trading. Meanwhile, the technology sector fell 1.53% and dragged the Nasdaq Composite Index down 113 points, or about 1.8% for the day. The selloff in tech stocks continued into Monday. Headlines screamed that this could be the start of the next major selloff and warned that this major bull market could be nearing its end.  I hope you didn’t listen. Since June 8 — the day before the selloff — the Nasdaq Composite Index is down only 2.5%. Meanwhile, its counterparts the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have fared much better, with the S&P 500 up 0.52% and the Dow Jones up 1.57%.  But what’s perhaps more interesting is the fact that just a handful of stocks caused Nasdaq to slide. The companies I mentioned above — Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet — plus Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) account for nearly 75% of the index’s weighting.  Just consider, the Nasdaq Composite Index is comprised… Read More

You’ve no doubt heard of the company that’s bringing electric vehicles to the masses. Founded in 2003 and based in Palo Alto, California, the company was co-founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk — founder of Space-X and co-founder of PayPal, SolarCity and Zip2. Of course, I’m talking about Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA). The company sells solar panels and solar roofs for energy generation, plus batteries for stationary storage for residential and commercial properties — and, of course, Tesla makes electric vehicles. With the Tesla Roadster debuting in 2008, the S in 2012 and the X in 2015, the company is working on… Read More

Of course, I’m talking about Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA). The company sells solar panels and solar roofs for energy generation, plus batteries for stationary storage for residential and commercial properties — and, of course, Tesla makes electric vehicles. With the Tesla Roadster debuting in 2008, the S in 2012 and the X in 2015, the company is working on the Model 3, a vehicle developed for the masses with a starting price of about $35,000, compared with the base price of $68,000 for the Model S. Tesla is one of the most controversial stocks in the market. Bring it up and you’ll hear arguments from both sides: there are loyal admirers of Tesla and Musk, and there are those that haven’t yet been sold on either. Tesla fans argue that it’s the vehicle of the future and you’re paying for earnings that are quite possibly still five-to-10 years out. Many will argue that it’s following in similar footsteps as… Read More

We considered it “one of the biggest areas of opportunity in the coming years.” We even said, “this portfolio could provide some very lucrative picks…”  That was back in January 2015, when I first introduced the my International Opportunities portfolio to my premium newsletter, Maximum Profit.  At the time, I knew that the international space was fraught with rick — and opportunity. And with the power of the Maximum Profit system — which relies on two proven indicators (one fundamental and one technical) — I’d be able to sift through to find the real gems of this space.

We considered it “one of the biggest areas of opportunity in the coming years.” We even said, “this portfolio could provide some very lucrative picks…”  That was back in January 2015, when I first introduced the my International Opportunities portfolio to my premium newsletter, Maximum Profit.  At the time, I knew that the international space was fraught with rick — and opportunity. And with the power of the Maximum Profit system — which relies on two proven indicators (one fundamental and one technical) — I’d be able to sift through to find the real gems of this space. To be frank, however, the portfolio hasn’t quite lived up to my expectations. But I believe that’s beginning to change. I’ll touch on that in a moment… The portfolio started off booking a string of winners. Of the first six closed positions, five were winners with an average gain of 9% — nothing to write home about until you consider the fact that the average holding period was only 40 days. The only loss came in at 3%.  —Recommended Link— Use These ‘Rockefeller Stocks’ To Unlock Your Natural Resource Fortune!

One year later and the story has completely changed… As we enter the traditional seasonally weak six-month period of the year, you will no doubt read and hear about the debate over whether the old Wall Street axiom “Sell In May And Go Away” is relevant this year. Of course, no one can predict what the market will do this summer, but one of the reasons that this old saying is still around is because it does have some validity to it, which I’ll touch on in a moment. Readers of my Maximum Profit premium newsletter know that this time… Read More

One year later and the story has completely changed… As we enter the traditional seasonally weak six-month period of the year, you will no doubt read and hear about the debate over whether the old Wall Street axiom “Sell In May And Go Away” is relevant this year. Of course, no one can predict what the market will do this summer, but one of the reasons that this old saying is still around is because it does have some validity to it, which I’ll touch on in a moment. Readers of my Maximum Profit premium newsletter know that this time last year, I was quite cautious regarding the market outlook. I cited a decline in corporate earnings, the trouble my system was having finding companies with exceptional cash flow growth and the sideways trading market as reasons for concern. This was the chart I showed my readers last May:   As you can see — by the shaded green line — earnings were in a decline and the market wasn’t sure what to do. And for the most part we dabbled in and out of a handful stocks, but mainly kept dry powder on hand for when… Read More
