There’s only a tiny 0.03% chance that your house will burn down this year. That’s just one in 3,000. But you still pay for insurance, just in case. Now here’s what we don’t get: there’s a 41% chance our president is going to be impeached… maybe even booted out of office… and millions of investors are facing that risk head-on. History shows that could cut your entire portfolio by 48%. Good news though: you can hedge against that possibility for just $167. Get all the details here… In literal terms, when short-term bond rates are higher than longer rates or the spread between them is narrow, things can get weird. Markets and investors tend to favor a steep yield curve. Higher long-term rates suggest inflation which suggests higher economic growth which begets corporate earnings growth. The result is higher stock prices. Sounds like the “If You… Read More

From the time most Americans begin their careers, there exists constant talk about saving for retirement. And it’s not just our friends and families. Companies, too, push retirement on their employees by offering everything from defined benefit plans to various defined contribution plans. —Recommended Link— The Repair Shop For Broken DNA I’ve found a small group of researchers in Switzerland developing a gene-editing tool that’s simpler, cheaper and easier to use than any previous model.

The investment potential here is immense… It may be the biggest investment opportunity you ever see, because people will pay any price to extend their lives. Come see my #1 play on the gene-editing revolution… But despite all the talk about preparing for retirement, Americans have never been less prepared to walk away from their jobs. Incredibly, about half of American households have no retirement account at all. Worse, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that nearly one-third of American households age 55 and older have neither a retirement plan nor a company pension.   #-ad_banner-#But Americans with retirement plans aren’t much better. One-third of Americans with retirement plans have just $5,000 saved. Even older Americans who have worked for decades have an average… Read More

I’ve long been an everything-happens-for-a-reason disciple. And while the stock market sometimes exaggerates or undervalues a company or a sector (providing a good reason for stock-picking), if an underlying trend exists, a company’s stock price action cannot operate in isolation. This is why it’s important to know your stocks and sectors, and that’s why single-company valuation should be viewed together with that of its group’s. For such comparisons, having a watch list of potential holdings is quite helpful. Ergo, I present to you a watch list I created for a group of leading cloud computing companies.

And while the stock market sometimes exaggerates or undervalues a company or a sector (providing a good reason for stock-picking), if an underlying trend exists, a company’s stock price action cannot operate in isolation. This is why it’s important to know your stocks and sectors, and that’s why single-company valuation should be viewed together with that of its group’s. For such comparisons, having a watch list of potential holdings is quite helpful. Ergo, I present to you a watch list I created for a group of leading cloud computing companies. As you can see below, the entire group had a strong rally earlier this year, a rally that was interrupted by the fourth-quarter market rout. With the underlying trend of corporate IT moving to the cloud and the accompanying multi-billion-dollar spending (which is forecast to reach $160 billion this year, an increase of 23.2% over 2017, according to the International Data Corporation), the selloff could be viewed as a buying opportunity, at least for the best of the group.

The markets closed the week before last with all three indexes firmly in a correction, down more than 10% from the 52-week high.

Click here now. Of course, the selloff could get much worse and even the best names could fall further, but there’s one very important difference between what I call “forever stocks” and the thousands of other shares traded on the exchanges. #-ad_banner-#Whether a recession comes sooner or later, these are the names with strong competitive advantages that will not only survive the downturn but take market share as less efficient companies struggle. That means you don’t have to time a market downturn perfectly. Any investment in forever stocks can be a great long-term buy. The Strategy That Doesn’t Depend On Market Timing To say it’s a volatile market is an understatement. The VIX volatility index has jumped to… Read More

Building a well-diversified retirement portfolio may seem like a daunting task to you.

It’s all perfectly legal. Their fortunes have been documented. See for yourself how easy it will be for YOU to start collecting paychecks each and every day… One way to solve this dilemma is to use exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, rather than individual stocks for your retirement portfolio. While ETFs will not have the returns that some individual stocks produce, their inherent diversification can provide less volatility along with steady dividends. First, let’s take a closer look at ETFs then delve into my five favorite ETFs for retirement. #-ad_banner-#If you have been investing for very long, you certainly have noticed the growth in ETFs.
