So to value a business, I forecast future operating cash flows as precisely as possible and then discount them back into today’s dollars. This calculation can be quite technical, involving other variables such as… Read More

It’s a prime example of how AI technology today enables computers to take on tasks formerly reserved solely for humans — such as reading a map. In this case, Google uses historical and real-time data to visualize current traffic patterns and then applies AI to predict future traffic flow, with the objective to plot the quickest route to a destination. Three important trends have made recent advancements in AI possible: big data collection, reduced computing costs, and improvements in algorithms. —Recommended Link— How Jim Cashed $13,784 In Daily Paychecks Experimenting With This Wildly Successful System Jim took a cool $13,784… Annie grabbed $2,194… Read More

What if you could know at a glance which blue chips will move most in the next 90 days? Would you be ready to cash in? Read more here. Mostly positive second-quarter earnings were overshadowed by warnings of a stronger dollar and weaker profits for U.S. companies with international exposure. From Netflix to Illinois Tool Works, management was downbeat as weaker foreign currencies meant lower sales in those markets when converted back to dollars. #-ad_banner-#One fortunate side effect of all this is that shares of foreign companies have become cheaper in dollar terms. When a company’s shares are primarily priced in another currency and that base weakens then it’s going to act as an artificial weight on the price of the American Depository Receipts (ADRs). The dollar isn’t likely to keep appreciating and could resume its long-term slide against other currencies. That means… Read More

Or as Buffett himself refers to it: “…the engine that has propelled our growth since 1967.” I’m of course talking about insurance. In each shareholder letter, Buffett spends a lot of time explaining his insurance business, and why it has “been of great importance to Berkshire.” Namely, he talks about “float,” or money that belongs to others but is held by the insurer. While this float is held by the insurer, it can be invested — and any dividends, interest, and gains from those investments belong to the insurer. #-ad_banner-#Buffett first entered the insurance business in early 1967… Read More

Start generating a 10%+ income stream for life today from these consistent companies. When I entered Taylor County, I started noticing something different about the farmland. For a significant stretch of the mostly deserted four-lane highway, the fields on either side weren’t planted with soybeans or cotton or peanuts or corn. #-ad_banner-#It was photovoltaic solar panels. And I’m not talking about a small cluster used to power some sort of sensor or county extension project. It was acres and acres of solar panels — the kind of scale capable of generating serious, civilization-powering electricity. Since I was in Georgia, there was only one company I thought of that was capable of a project that size: The Southern Company (NYSE: SO). I was right. Southern Company stock,… Read More

Stocks hit a new high again last week. Bullish fever is rampant as the market can do no wrong in the eyes of investors. However, since the top, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped precipitously back to its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) in the 25,000 zone. The institutionally critical 200-day simple moving average is less than 300 points away in the world’s most followed index.

Click here to see why this is the best chance at triple digit gains we’ve seen in a long time. For most, the Turkish currency/economic crisis probably seems like it came out of left field, but the country has actually been digging this hole for years with its extreme fiscal and monetary stimuli, and a government wanting totalitarian authority. The culmination of several recent events has exacerbated these existing trends, leading to the type of extreme parabolic chart you see below, which shows how many Turkish lira can be bought with $1. Before 2013, $1 would get you… Read More

Now, in those pre-Google days, I didn’t know if any grad student had ever won a Pulitzer Prize for research papers. But if it were possible, surely my paper stood a fighting chance. Alas, it wasn’t to be. In fact, my professor wasn’t as impressed with my conclusions about the prospects for the newly public company. He gave me a C- on the paper and asked me if I had considered a career in truck driving. #-ad_banner-#It was an inglorious moment.
