The best way to win now is to laser in on very unique stocks that are either undervalued or overvalued while trying to steer clear of unpredictable geopolitical policy shifts. (Honestly, it’s starting to feel like these shifts are occurring with higher frequency than the Twitter messages triggering them.) #-ad_banner-#In an effort to do just that, I searched for a stock that shouldn’t be terribly affected by tariffs… or walls… taxes… or the USPS. As I scoured the markets for an “insulated play,” I landed on pizza. But unlike the rocket my Profit Amplifier subscribers and I rode in February with Domino’s Pizza (NYSE: DPZ)… Read More

Last week, I introduced you to Hetty Green. This week, I want to ruminate a little more on her most important piece of wisdom: “Act with thrift and shrewdness and be persistent.” As market volatility picks back up, it’s a good time take Hetty’s approach to heart. —Sponsored Link— Man Up $1 Million With One Tiny $0.10 Pot Stock Makes NEW Shocking Announcement He was one of the few who predicted pot stocks would explode in value, and now he’s making another shocking pot stock prediction.

Click here for more details and to reserve your spot. I believe there is a level of shrewdness in ignoring the broader market when making trading decisions, unless your goal is trading the market. If, for example, you are buying S&P 500 futures, then you need to focus on the broader market. But if you are looking for individual stocks, then the broader market is less important. #-ad_banner-#That’s why, whether we’re in a… Read More

There are few words in the English language that are hated more than “cancer.” And as far as public health dangers go, it’s one of the biggest enemies anyone could imagine.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world — it’s responsible for nearly 1 in 6 deaths. And the danger isn’t going away anytime soon — the WHO estimates that the number of cases in total will grow by 70% over the next two decades. The sheer size of the threat also means the amount of brainpower and… Read More

There are few words in the English language that are hated more than “cancer.” And as far as public health dangers go, it’s one of the biggest enemies anyone could imagine.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world — it’s responsible for nearly 1 in 6 deaths. And the danger isn’t going away anytime soon — the WHO estimates that the number of cases in total will grow by 70% over the next two decades. The sheer size of the threat also means the amount of brainpower and money the problem attracts will also be huge. Big pharma and smaller biotech companies alike have made it their business to find a cure — or at least the best treatment when the cure has remained out of reach. This area of medicine has seen significant breakthroughs over the past several decades, and more are on the horizon.  The Future Of Cancer-Fighting Medicines One of the breakthroughs that have changed the approach to cancer treatment — and can be credited with saving many lives — is immunotherapy.  #-ad_banner-#With this approach, the patient’s own immune system is utilized to attack… Read More

But this was the first sign that something was clearly wrong, and she needed to see a doctor immediately. A trip to the health center revealed that her blood pressure was astronomically high. After several tests, they finally diagnosed Nicole with a rare vascular disease called Takayasu arteritis, which causes inflammation of the largest blood vessel in the body, the aorta, and its branches. #-ad_banner-#Vascular diseases, like the one Nicole was diagnosed with, can be difficult to detect. Diseases can appear anywhere in the body in many different forms. In fact, John Hopkins Medical Center estimates that 78 million Americans have the most… Read More

You’ve probably never heard of Henrietta Howland “Hetty” Green.

I know that I personally capitulated and became a blind bull near the end of 2017 after several, very well researched and viable bearish trades didn’t pan out. Since logic wasn’t working, I had to join the “buy everything” crowd to stay profitable. #-ad_banner-#And that actually worked for a while. In November, my Profit Amplifier subscribers and I started almost exclusively buying call options. Things looked great until mid-February, when the market sold off 292 points (a 10.2% drop)… Read More

Tech stocks have had a huge run throughout the bull market with the Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF) surging 280% since March 2009. That’s well above the 226% gain in the broader S&P 500 and helped lift the market to price multiples rarely seen in the past. Gains in the sector tracked the broader market closely until June 2016 when tech exploded, beating the index by 23% over nearly two years. #-ad_banner-#That outperformance has grown the sector to 27% of S&P 500, the highest it’s been since the final four months of the tech bubble.

Much of the explosive tech sentiment has been given to the largest players in the group, the FAANG stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) which collectively surged an average of 51% last year. But the narrative has changed with some major problems at some of these tech leaders and that’s creating chaos for the broader market. The  Volatility Index (VIX) only broke 13 twice last year and averaged just 11.1 throughout 2017… it’s averaged 17.5 this year and hasn’t been below 13 since January. Does the tech selloff mean an end to the historic bull market? Are there still leaders… Read More

Trump’s tariff talk has thrown stocks into disarray. No one knows just how this new twist will play out in the economy. It appears to be a safe bet that whatever happens, it will not be bullish for stocks. #-ad_banner-#Long-term investors have a choice to ride out the volatility or take action to attempt to increase profits during the uncertainty. Should you decide to actively invest during these volatile times, here are three ways to make the difficult times work for you. 1. Get Long The VIX Hedge funds and professional traders were thrown for a loop in February as the time-proven short VIX trade blew up. Over the last several years, a significant source of alpha for derivative traders and longer-term investors was short volatility. As long as volatility declined or stayed stable, short biased option strategies and just outright short trades created profits month after month. Then Trump’s tariff talk combined with the regime of climbing rates sent the market to the loony bin. The VIX spiked and stocks plunged, calling the bluff of everyone but the most seasoned investors. While no one knows what the future holds, my bet is the VIX is going to climb… Read More

I own shares of quite a few in my personal account. But for the most part, I use them to fill out the growth sleeve of my portfolio and don’t consider them stable income producers. That doesn’t necessarily mean that larger businesses are inherently safer.

After nearly a decade of stock market gains, good deals in stocks with upside catalysts can be hard to find.

Fortunately, there is one segment of the market that never disappoints in offering a buffet of potentially great investments. #-ad_banner-#When everyone seems to love the market, I look at the stocks nobody likes. Beyond finding stocks at bargain-basement prices, taking the contrarian side on a stock with heavy short interest offers the added benefit of protection when market sentiment turns sour. If nobody liked these stocks in the first place, plunging market sentiment isn’t going to affect them as much and share prices tend to hold up in a market rout. That makes investing in heavily-shorted companies the perfect theme for a late-stage bull market. Some People Just Hate For No Reason, Even In Stocks Short selling has exploded over recent decades. Short sales now account for 32% of total trading volume, compared with only 9% in 1984. There are several reasons investors might sell a stock short, some of which don’t even signal a negative outlook on the shares. Investors… Read More
