I took the family to see the adventures of Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang in Toy Story 4 recently. We weren’t alone — the fourth installment in the blockbuster franchise has already netted over $1 billion in global box office revenue. That’s the fifth billion-dollar release for the Walt Disney studio alone this year. But what really struck me was the whole experience at the theatre and how it’s changed over the years. As an investor, this piqued my interest… I mean, is the movie business really dying after all? Could it just be that there’s an… Read More

I took the family to see the adventures of Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang in Toy Story 4 recently. We weren’t alone — the fourth installment in the blockbuster franchise has already netted over $1 billion in global box office revenue. That’s the fifth billion-dollar release for the Walt Disney studio alone this year. But what really struck me was the whole experience at the theatre and how it’s changed over the years. As an investor, this piqued my interest… I mean, is the movie business really dying after all? Could it just be that there’s an overlooked opportunity here for investors?  So I did some digging and recently shared my findings with my High-Yield Investing subscribers. And today, I’d like to share them with you… —Recommended Link— Is This Trump’s Favorite $5 Tech Stock? In early 2019 President Trump warned this company’s biggest customers to “step up their 5G efforts.” A few months later, he banned their biggest competitor from doing business in the U.S. Now, this $5 stock could turn a $10,000 stake into $234,770 this year. But timing is critical. A single mention on the evening news and this… Read More

We’ve been on a roll over at Maximum Profit lately.  Our system has identified a string of winners that my subscribers and I have been able to buy at just the right time as momentum carries the stock higher — while getting out before the tide washes out.  A significant chunk of our winners has come from the tech space to be more specific, with gains of 39% on CyberArk Software (Nasdaq: CYBR), 66% on Roku (Nasdaq: ROKU), and 89% on Shopify (Nasdaq: SHOP). This makes sense, of course. Tech has been one of the hottest sectors during this entire… Read More

This makes sense, of course. Tech has been one of the hottest sectors during this entire bull market. And if all goes according to plan, we’ll add another to the list in short order… Our Next Big Winner… Before companies can launch a new product, or even keep producing existing products, they need to continually test their design and optimization. After all, a failed product could cripple a company. But with technology rapidly changing, it would cost firms billions to continually update their testing and design equipment and software.  That’s why most firms work with a company like Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS). #-ad_banner-#Keysight has been in the electronic measurement business since 1939.

For investors, an important question seems to be whether impeachment will affect the stock market. But I believe that’s the wrong question. To reframe the question, I looked back to see what history could tell us. —Recommended Link— Trump Blows Up Twitter… Sends This 5G Stock On The Ride Of Its Life President Trump sent this warning to U.S. telcoms: “Step up your 5G efforts, or get left behind.” Right now, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and others are racing to rollout their 5G networks.

And one $5 stock is at the center of it all. Today, you have an opportunity to turn a small $5,000 stake into $117,385. but only if you act before Wall Street releases its hounds. Click here for details. There have been three previous impeachments of presidents, the most recent in 1998. The House of Representatives voted to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton on October 8, 1998. That date is highlighted in the chart below. A strong uptrend began that day. This demonstrates that impeachment is not inherently bearish. Stocks sold off in the summer of 1998 after Russia defaulted on bonds… Read More

You’ve probably noticed a recent uptick in local gasoline prices. I paid $2.29 per gallon this morning, versus $1.99 a few weeks ago. The blame can be pinned squarely on a spike in crude oil following a surprise attack on a Saudi Arabian oil production facility. In case you missed it, here is the short version… On September 14, a salvo of cruise missiles rained down on state-owned Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq facility, crippling infrastructure that handles 5.7 million barrels per day. Government officials were quick to blame Iran for the strike. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went so far as… Read More

The blame can be pinned squarely on a spike in crude oil following a surprise attack on a Saudi Arabian oil production facility. In case you missed it, here is the short version… On September 14, a salvo of cruise missiles rained down on state-owned Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq facility, crippling infrastructure that handles 5.7 million barrels per day. Government officials were quick to blame Iran for the strike. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went so far as to declare the unprovoked attack an overt “act of war,” and the President ordered tightened economic sanctions. About 5% of the world’s entire oil supply passes through this facility, making this one of the biggest supply disruptions on record. Worse than Hurricane Katrina, the Invasion of Kuwait, the Libyan Civil War, and other such events. The surgical strike was designed to inflict heavy damage to key equipment in at least 17 different spots. It remains to be seen how much capacity stays offline and for how long. Benchmark Brent crude prices shot up about 20% in the aftermath, but have… Read More

The future of the cannabis industry in the United States, in the end, may come down to a man who once reportedly wrote that he was “unalterably opposed” to legalized pot.  The good news for cannabis investors: that man now sits on the advisory board of one of the fastest-growing pot companies in North America. If you missed the headlines, I’m talking about the former House Speaker from Ohio, Republican John Boehner.  So what caused the change of heart? Well, the generous view is that, like many of us who consider ourselves to be independent thinkers, the Speaker’s views…… Read More

The future of the cannabis industry in the United States, in the end, may come down to a man who once reportedly wrote that he was “unalterably opposed” to legalized pot.  The good news for cannabis investors: that man now sits on the advisory board of one of the fastest-growing pot companies in North America. If you missed the headlines, I’m talking about the former House Speaker from Ohio, Republican John Boehner.  So what caused the change of heart? Well, the generous view is that, like many of us who consider ourselves to be independent thinkers, the Speaker’s views… evolved. The cynical view might be that it’s a cash-grab. To be fair, there’s really not a lot on record regarding Boehner’s previous stances on cannabis in Congress. And Boehner, who is well-known in Capitol Hill circles for his merlot and cigarette habit, reportedly said he never really studied the issue in depth. But upon seeing a friend get relief from chronic back pain, he began to take note. Now Boehner says he is intrigued by cannabis as a treatment for the opioid crisis as well as for combat veterans and others who suffer from PTSD.  So when Boehner… Read More

Last week, I wrote about the incredible opportunity for investors in the world of cannabis stocks. And while it seems like everyone wants a piece of the action, most investors are unsure of how to go about it. That’s where my colleague Amber Hestla comes in… Many of you are already familiar with Amber’s work. For example, back in January, I called her our “No. 1 risk expert.” I’ve also shared a few of her “bonus” trades with readers over the years.

For example, back in January, I called her our “No. 1 risk expert.” I’ve also shared a few of her “bonus” trades with readers over the years. So when I heard that she had come up with a new “turbo” system for trading pot stocks — that was designed to quickly get in and out of trades while making monster-sized gains — I just had to know more. I know we’ve talked about your background before in previous issues. But we’ve picked up some new readers since then… Tell us a little about your former life in the military for starters, and the kind of influence it has had on your job today. Amber: Well, I was in the Army for nine years — two of which I spent in Iraq as a Military Intelligence Analyst during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In military jargon,… Read More

Before the arrival of the “cloud,” cybersecurity used to be relatively simple.  A simple firewall to secure the network… some antivirus software to keep PCs in the office safe from various forms of malware… and that was about it. #-ad_banner-#Today, partly thanks to the cloud, the “company network” as it were, is amorphous. Throw in the proliferation of various types of mobile devices, as well as an increasingly mobile workforce, and it becomes clear that basic firewalls aren’t up to the task.

Securing these endpoints has become a much more challenging endeavor. The benefits of the cloud are clear (efficiency, mobility, and cost savings, just to name a few). Still, no company wants to be in the headlines for a costly security breach.  This means any critical applications and business-critical data stored on the cloud will require security controls not covered by security measures designed purely for on-premises deployments.  That means big-time opportunity for companies offering innovative solutions in the cybersecurity space.  One Of Our Top Cyber Picks One particular area that’s ripe for cyber companies is with what are known as “privileged accounts.” These special accounts are what the IT folks at any business use to log in… Read More
