I can’t think of a stock that’s more hated. We’ve written about this company several times before. And just about every time we mention it, we end up receiving nasty emails admonishing the fact that we would cover — let alone recommend — investors own shares of this company. In fact, it happens so often that whenever we cover this stock, I instruct our staff to put in a mention that this investment isn’t for everyone. If you don’t want to invest in this stock, I can certainly understand. But if you have an open mind toward this black sheep,… Read More

Here’s What Worries Me About Boeing…
The ongoing situation with Boeing (NYSE: BA) is important for investors to watch. As you probably know, on Sunday, March 10, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft crashed just six minutes after takeoff in Ethiopia, killing all 157 passengers and crew aboard. Authorities have begun investigating the cause of the crash, which was the second crash involving that particular model within the span of several months. In the meantime, a number of countries issued orders to ground the Boeing model, with the U.S. following suit on Wednesday. Safety concerns about the airplane maker’s 737 MAX aircraft are a tragedy, and… Read More

Authorities have begun investigating the cause of the crash, which was the second crash involving that particular model within the span of several months. In the meantime, a number of countries issued orders to ground the Boeing model, with the U.S. following suit on Wednesday. Safety concerns about the airplane maker’s 737 MAX aircraft are a tragedy, and I don’t have any intention of minimizing them. And we don’t have a clear idea of just how much this will affect Boeing just yet. But from an investment perspective, history shows that problems in a single company can spark a significant decline in an overvalued market. Let me explain… #-ad_banner-#Historic examples include the October 1989 market crash that followed the collapse of a leveraged buyout deal for United Airlines. That crash was small, with the S&P 500 falling a little more than 6% that day, but the deal’s collapse showed traders that buyouts were risky. The news pushed prices down… Read More

Trump Hates This Company… But You Should Love It
In 1851, Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones founded the New-York Daily Times. The paper sold for a penny. By 1857, the company changed its name to The New-York Times. It wasn’t until 1896 that it dropped the hyphen. Finally, in 1969, The New York Times (NYSE: NYT) became a publicly traded company. Contrary to what you may have heard a certain U.S. President claim, the New York Times is hardly failing.

Here’s why… The Case For NYT The news organization is the third most widely-distributed circulated paper in the United States, behind USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. It’s been awarded 125 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization. The New York Times has thrived in a world where it’s seen many of its peers fail. For example, The Tribune Company, which owns the Chicago Tribune and, until recently, the Los Angeles Times, filed for bankruptcy in 2008. And it’s not alone: Newsroom employment has dropped by more than 20,000 in the past 15 years, and newspaper circulation is at its lowest level since… Read More
How We’re Avoiding Buffett’s Billion-Dollar Mistake
It’s no secret that Warren Buffett is an incredible investor. Arguably the greatest of all-time. His track record speaks for itself — 20.5% compound annual gains from 1965 through 2018. That’s more than double S&P 500’s 9.7% annual return over the same time frame. But I’m not here to talk about Buffett’s successes, or his recent shareholder letter (which you can read here.) Instead, I want to talk about one of Buffett’s biggest failures — and how we can take those lessons and profit. It’s the largest investment loss, in dollar terms, of his entire career. Read More

The Bull Market Rages On. Now What?
With the tenth anniversary of this bull market upon us, investors have a lot to celebrate. Stocks are up, profits are growing, the economy is chugging along, the interest rate environment is relatively benign, and even on the trade-war front we are seeing some positive expectations lately. There’s nothing more bullish than a bull market. If this saying is even half-correct, the best indication we investors have that the market strength will continue is the powerful market rebound off the latest lows in December 2018. The chart below, which extends from Dec 24, 2018, to March 5, 2019, shows the… Read More

The chart below, which extends from Dec 24, 2018, to March 5, 2019, shows the power of that rebound rally. From the market’s low on Christmas Eve, all the major U.S. indices rallied quite strongly. Here’s the grand total… #-ad_banner-#Not counting dividends, the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 18.4%, falling slightly behind the S&P 500’s 18.7% return. Not to be outdone, the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks has been leading the rebound with its 23.8% return as of March 5. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has also done very well, with a 21.3% return over these two and a half months. I’m happy to report that our portfolio over at Game-Changing Stocks has done quite… Read More
5 Small Cap Growth Stocks With Big-Time Momentum
A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Unless, of course, an external force is applied. Add “stock market advisor” to Isaac Newton’s resume, right along with astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Similar to physics, Newton’s first law of motion also works in investments. Kind of. While there is no physical force that moves them, stocks, much like physical objects, tend to continue moving in the same direction until something around them (or about them) changes. No one — including Newton — can or could with a high degree of certainty predict this afternoon’s breaking news or tomorrow’s big earnings… Read More

No one — including Newton — can or could with a high degree of certainty predict this afternoon’s breaking news or tomorrow’s big earnings upset. What investors can do, however, is follow the trend. That’s why I recently set out with a goal to investigate stocks that are moving higher. To do this, I screened all U.S.-listed small-cap stocks (those with market capitalizations less than $2 billion but larger than $500 million) that have closed within 5% of their 52-week high. To make this screen more relevant to the goals of my Game-Changing Stocks premium newsletter, I also wanted to screen for future — expected — growth. Because this metric is based on analysts’ assessments, I also looked for stocks that were covered by… Read More

For example, Rule No. 3 is “If I have positions going against me, I get out; if they are going for me, I keep them.” In other words, he cuts his losers short and lets his winners ride. Rule No. 5: “Don’t ever average losers.” Said another way, don’t throw good money after bad. Rule No. 10: “The most important rule of trading is to play great defense, not offense.” In other words, protect and preserve the capital you’ve made. Rule No. 17: “Don’t focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.” American financier Bernard Baruch, whom after success in business devoted his time to advising U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, wrote in his 10 Rules of Investing, “Learn… Read More
