We interrupt this regularly scheduled publication to bring you a breaking news bulletin. Originally, I had planned to discuss the ramifications of last week’s mid-term elections with my Daily Paycheck subscribers. But there is plenty of time to get to that in the weeks ahead. For now, I’ll just say that gridlock in Congress is often advantageous for investors. And we’ll be seeing plenty of that over the next two years.

Remember the elation when the Dow Jones Industrial Average first hit 20,000? It happened in January 2017, not that long ago really. Since then, the venerable benchmark blew through 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, and 25,000. After a powerful run like that, you can expect many stocks to be overvalued. —Recommended Link— The Only Pot Stock Worth Owning This summer, Canada will completely legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use — sparking an $8 BILLION industry.  Our experts have their sights on a company that’s been granted a virtual monopoly by the Canadian government – a moat that would make… Read More

The S&P 500 is currently trading at 15.6 times forward earnings. While not excessive, that’s a sizeable premium to the historical 10-year average of 14.5. According to Morningstar, the average U.S. stock is priced at 102% of its fair value — and that’s after the October swoon. Nobody goes to a car dealership (or anywhere else) looking to pay 2% above sticker price. Not only do current valuations limit the upside, but as we’ve… Read More

Most investors instinctively know that value stocks are generally less expensive relative to earnings and book value. They are typically mature, well-established businesses that can afford to distribute more of their profits as dividends. Common examples include drug maker Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), consumer products giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), and wireless provider AT&T (NYSE: T). —Recommended Link— Watch Your Safest Stocks SOAR 83% In 28 Days!

By contrast, growth stocks are companies that typically reinvest most of their earnings back into the business, so there is often little (if any) left on the table for dividends. Wherever the dividing line falls, investors have shown a clear preference for growth. But smart money naturally flows into pockets with optimal risk-adjusted potential rewards. So it’s rare for one group to stay at the top (or bottom) for more than a few years. The last time value stocks were this hated was the late 1990s. I remember it well, because I was a financial advisor trying to convince clients to allocate a portion… Read More

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. In the August update issue of High-Yield Investing, I pointed out that a narrow group of six tech stocks had accounted for virtually all (98%) of the market’s year-to-date gains. I’ve seen this behavior before, most recently in 2015, when the ten largest stocks in the S&P 500 represented more than 100% of the index’s return while the other 490 were net losers. —Recommended Link— There Are 6,568 Investors On “The List…” Will YOU Be Next?

Introducing the exclusive system guarantees you get a paycheck delivered to your mailbox an average of every single day. Sometimes more. Full story here… It’s easy to forget about dividends at times like this. Who can get excited about a 4% annual income stream when stocks like Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) soar 69% and 92%, respectively, in just eight months? But then the Dow surrendered nearly 1,400 points in two days in October, throwing some cold water on those red-hot gains. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) fell 5.5% in the market swoon. Amazon retreated 8.1%. And Netflix plunged 9.6%. #-ad_banner-#That doesn’t mean these highfliers are about to crash and burn. In fact, they’ve already… Read More

If you check your portfolio religiously like I do, you’ve probably noticed that certain holdings tend to show exaggerated price movements relative to the market.

Investors were greeted rudely Wednesday morning by a painful 400-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. And another 500-point drop on Thursday. Wednesday wasn’t the first sign of market jitters, as the S&P 500 was already riding a five-day losing streak.
