In short, he mentioned that despite Buffett’s $80 billion fortune, you and I have a big advantage over him. —Sponsored Link— Big Tobacco’s Punishment: A Long Time Coming In November of 1998, the “Big Four of Big Tobacco” were sued for using misleading advertisements and manipulating scientific research. And in a landmark settlement they agreed to pay a historic sum of money in perpetuity to those affected. We estimate they’ve been paying out about $686 million a month. What you may not know is that you could personally claim a tax-free portion of this money… regardless of whether you’ve smoked a day in your life. See how you can cash in on Big Tobacco’s “forever income.” Timing. You see, because you and I don’t have massive portfolios like Buffett, it doesn’t take much to really move the needle. It’s a nice problem for Buffett to have, frankly, but it can really work to our advantage. That’s because, if we emulate Buffett’s habit of… Read More

Guns, cash and his entire coin collection — including his Indian Head Gold Quarter Eagle — were gone. Stolen. The perpetrator had taken an oxygen-acetylene torch to the door of his Fort Knox safe and snatched his precious belongings.  Of course, my grandfather was bummed that his stuff was taken, but what unsettled him most about the entire ordeal was the feeling of intrusion — someone invading his privacy.  New guns can be bought, Fort Knox replaced the vault for free, but what can’t be restored is that feeling that your privacy has been violated — knowing that a stranger… Read More

The perpetrator had taken an oxygen-acetylene torch to the door of his Fort Knox safe and snatched his precious belongings.  Of course, my grandfather was bummed that his stuff was taken, but what unsettled him most about the entire ordeal was the feeling of intrusion — someone invading his privacy.  New guns can be bought, Fort Knox replaced the vault for free, but what can’t be restored is that feeling that your privacy has been violated — knowing that a stranger forced his way into your home and stole your property.  These sorts of intrusions, however, are happening more frequently than ever.

I covered how it spotted the feverish pace of share buybacks, the soaring number of stocks with high nominal prices and, of course, how my system had 60% of our portfolio in cash before the market fell as much as 9% at the beginning of 2016.   This week it flashed something a bit more alarming… Something that flies directly in the face of what all the major financial news outlets are telling us.  —Recommended Link— The Best Thing That Ever Came Out Of Washington You know what IRAs and 401(k)s can… Read More

The average person’s net worth in this room was $75 million. All these rich people were there for the same reason: They were sick and tired of walking around with a bullseye on their backs. You see, banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, and brokerage firms see the wealthy as “easy targets”. These are people they can siphon fees off of — and make a killing. As one attendee — a former executive in five different companies — put it, “I felt the advice I was getting was always tainted.” Two others discovered they were using the same investment advisor, but one of them was paying more for the exact same service. Another one called stock brokers and wealth managers a “den of thieves” who want to “make themselves money first, then their clients.” So… with nowhere to go, and nobody they could trust with their money, they turned to each other. —Recommended Link— $1.3 Trillion In Cash For Folks Who Do Not Trust Wall… Read More

A pioneer in her own right, her incredible journey is well documented… as it should be. It’s gone on to help save the lives of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of women. It also set the stage for one the greatest developments in medical history. The year was 1990, and Barbara Bradfield discovered one of the worst things anybody can find: a lump on her breast and swollen lymph nodes under her arm.  A biopsy confirmed her worst nightmare — she had metastatic breast cancer. Surgery to remove her breast and the lymph nodes quickly followed. Then chemotherapy — one of the few treatments available at the time. In 1991, more than 43,000 people died of breast cancer. Barbara expected to be one of them, as the survival rate for patients like her was about 20%. In fact, Barbara’s form of cancer was so aggressive that most doctors gave her no chance of surviving.  The surgery and chemotherapy didn’t work. Cancer returned. And her doctor offered the only thing he could at the time: more chemotherapy. But they both knew that this would only extend her life by a few months.  Barbara declined all further treatment.  She was staring… Read More

Imagine if you could have foreseen just how successful Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) was going to be at changing the music industry with the introduction of the iPod, iPhone and iTunes ecosystem. Or that folks would no longer run down to their local Blockbuster to rent a movie, but instead stream it over the internet — rendering DVDs all but dead. Of course, there are countless stories like these that illustrate how technological innovations killed off old stodgy companies and industries. 8-track and cassette tapes, VCR and DVD players, 3.5-inch floppy disks and developing film (Kodak) just to name a few.

Just take Sirius and XM radio, for example. These two companies aimed to change the radio industry by providing ad-free music to consumers across the nation.

After all, radio hadn’t seen any major advances in decades, plus it’s annoying to hear your favorite AM or FM radio station fade away as you traverse… Read More
