“There’s no doubt that 2017 prices will be lower than 2016 prices…” That’s the type of statement you hear only after years of sustained downturns when all hope is lost. It’s also what you when investors are most worried, prices are cheapest, and it’s time to buy in. Revealed: My Next Big Trade Idea The…
DetailsNearly 70% of all investors lost money last year. That’s according to Openfolio, an app used by regular investors track their investment results. That’s a staggeringly high number. You know what though, I believe it. I’m actually a bit surprised it’s not higher. The problem is most investors make two mistakes which consistently cost them…
DetailsIt’s been an impressive year for small-cap stocks. Since the year began, the Russell 2000 has gained 7%, as the S&P 500 tacked on just 5%. In fact, small-cap growth funds gained an average of 6.6% since the year began, as larger-cap funds averaged 2.85%, according to Morningstar. Yet, some investors continue to ignore small-cap…
Details“Wow, this is serious.” That’s what I thought when I walked into the Phoenix Convention Center over the weekend. There were business suits and pencil skirts everywhere. A sea of blue and grey, dotted only occasionally with bright ties. The signs to the rooms in the convention center said things like “Synergy In Management” and…
DetailsIn just 20 days, the opportunity to buy these stocks on the cheap may be gone.

Even Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the…
DetailsI’m 100% serious about finding a big winner (or three) in the cannabis boom. The numbers are so big there has to be something… Something soon too. California is set to approve recreational cannabis in just three weeks. That alone will be worth $6.4 billion in annual sales. There are four more states where it’s…
DetailsThis is getting crazy. The stock I’m going to show you in a moment is soaring. In the time it took me to write this, the stock has jumped another 25%. I’m confident there’s billions of dollars to be made here. However, as you’ll see today, it’s not going to be easy. Here’s what…

Unfortunately, that claim was stretching the truth, as U.S. employment growth slowed for the third straight month. Nonfarm payrolls jumped by 156,000 in September, down from a gain of 167,000 for August 2016, sending the unemployment rate up to 5% for…
DetailsI can’t tell you who’s going to win this election. The only safe bet is there are going to be a lot more surprises. However, the way things are shaping up, there’s going to be one big winner this election. It’s not Trump. It’s not Hillary. It’s definitely not the 70% of voters dissatisfied with…
DetailsFlu season is back. And, as any one with a respiratory system will tell you, this time of year isn’t always fun… unless, of course, you’re an investors in flu-related, coughing, sniffling, remedy stocks that typically take off around this time of year.
