The cybersecurity market is projected to be worth over $200 billion by 2021. This translates to a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years. Now is the perfect time to grab a piece of this burgeoning industry. I have identified three perfect stocks primed to ride the wave to long-term profits. #-ad_banner-#First, let’s take a closer look at the market. The rapid expansion of cybersecurity is in response to a major problem facing our internet-connected society. Many incidents of fraud, theft, and other illegal activities have moved from the physical world to a far more difficult place to discover. While crime is still rampant in the physical world, a clear majority of white collar crime has moved into cyberspace. Police departments, and even many government agencies, are powerless to fight this hidden epidemic in the traditional fashion. In 2014, it was estimated that $445 billion is lost annually due to cybercrime. Cybercrime is targeted is at companies, governments, and individuals. Bloomberg reports that 40 million people in the United States had their personal information stolen within the last year. Also last year, an unnamed oil company lost hundreds of millions of dollars in business opportunities when… Read More

This is BIG… For the first time since 1933, the SEC is now allowing regular people like you and me to invest in brand-new, explosive-growth companies BEFORE THEY GO PUBLIC. Imagine getting in on the next Facebook for 33 cents a share or the next Apple at 78 cents. In… Read More

Shares of jet-maker and defense specialist The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) haven’t delivered the level of returns in 2016 that investors expected. As of Thursday, December 8, the stock had risen 7.5% for the year, compared to gains of 12.5% and 9.9% in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX), respectively. The Seattle-based aerospace giant attracted unwelcome attention after President-elect Donald Trump complained on Twitter about the cost of the new Air Force One, currently in development. Driven by the resulting negative headlines, Boeing stock fell more than more than 1%, though the shares ended… Read More

Shares of jet-maker and defense specialist The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) haven’t delivered the level of returns in 2016 that investors expected. As of Thursday, December 8, the stock had risen 7.5% for the year, compared to gains of 12.5% and 9.9% in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX), respectively. The Seattle-based aerospace giant attracted unwelcome attention after President-elect Donald Trump complained on Twitter about the cost of the new Air Force One, currently in development. Driven by the resulting negative headlines, Boeing stock fell more than more than 1%, though the shares ended in positive territory after cooler heads prevailed. Despite these setbacks, Boeing stock can still take off in 2017 if the company can achieve a few operational objectives. Where Things Stand Today It’s become a challenge for Wall Street to celebrate Boeing’s recent accomplishments, which include two straight earnings beats and raised guidance. This is because, when looking at the company’s strong earnings reports, it comes with the understanding that Boeing also benefits from favorable tax adjustments. And its third-quarter earnings report, which resulted in a beat on both the top and bottoms lines, was the perfect example. #-ad_banner-#While the… Read More

Talk about game-changers… Back in late September, I told StreetAuthority readers about Twitter (Nasdaq: TWTR). The “other” social network, as we called it, was ripe for a turnaround — and possibly even a buyout, which is why my premium Game-Changing Stocks subscribers and I had recently added it to our portfolio. Whether you’re a fan, neophyte or doubter, you can’t help but notice that the company has now been in the news daily, courtesy of our president-elect.

Talk about game-changers… Back in late September, I told StreetAuthority readers about Twitter (Nasdaq: TWTR). The “other” social network, as we called it, was ripe for a turnaround — and possibly even a buyout, which is why my premium Game-Changing Stocks subscribers and I had recently added it to our portfolio. Whether you’re a fan, neophyte or doubter, you can’t help but notice that the company has now been in the news daily, courtesy of our president-elect. Donald Trump uses Twitter to instantly communicate to his 17 million followers, not to mention the media and millions of others who are looking in — all serving to bring further attention to the platform. The same features that made Twitter indispensable in bringing social change have already made it a political tool and quite possibly a governing one, too. As investors, we cannot ignore this development. —Sponsored Link— By The Time Obama Hands Over The Keys, It Will Be TOO Late We’ve got evidence — from an ex-advisor to the CIA — that 19 days before Donald Trump takes the Oath of Office it will already be too late to “fix” America. How so? For the last… Read More

Between 1835 and 1839 four men were born who forged America into the richest, most inventive and most productive country on the planet. Arguably, few other men in our history have had a greater impact. These affluent industrialists were considered some of the wealthiest — and most successful — businessmen of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their rise to fame came during the Gilded Age, an era of rapid economic growth in the late 19th century. I’m of course talking about steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, oil titan John D. Rockefeller, financier J.P. Morgan and speculator Jay Gould. These men were… Read More

Rockefeller, financier J.P. Morgan and speculator Jay Gould. These men were known as robber barons for their shrewd, ruthlessly competitive and sometimes unethical business practices. Despite this, they’re recognized as some of the greatest businessmen and investors the world’s ever known. —Recommended Link— At 11:59pm EST, This Stock Indicator Goes Back To Full Price — NO Rainchecks If you were ever curious to see how the most successful investors make their moves and almost always make money in the markets, your chance is nearly gone.

In 1960, the U.S. Navy came up with the acronym KISS: “Keep it simple, stupid.” The principle behind it was that most systems work best if they are simple rather than complex. While the mantra was originally applied to building airplanes, it just as easily applies to many other aspects… Read More

The KBW Bank Index (Nasdaq: BKX) has surged nearly 20% since the election.  Investors are hopeful that decreased regulation and tax reform can break the multi-year slump in the financial sector. President-elect Trump may have a tough time completely repealing the massive Dodd-Frank banking reform act as he pledged to during the campaign, but there is no doubt the new administration will at least attempt to chip away at pieces of it. The banks that stand to benefit most from this are regional banks, which received good news in late November when legislators started discussing a measure that would redefine… Read More

The KBW Bank Index (Nasdaq: BKX) has surged nearly 20% since the election.  Investors are hopeful that decreased regulation and tax reform can break the multi-year slump in the financial sector. President-elect Trump may have a tough time completely repealing the massive Dodd-Frank banking reform act as he pledged to during the campaign, but there is no doubt the new administration will at least attempt to chip away at pieces of it. The banks that stand to benefit most from this are regional banks, which received good news in late November when legislators started discussing a measure that would redefine the threshold for ‘systemically important’ institutions. The current threshold of $50 billion or more in assets may be raised, freeing some regional banks from much of the regulatory burden. #-ad_banner-#In addition to clearing the regulatory costs and oversight on the industry, the macroeconomic backdrop is shifting to become more favorable to banking. The rate on the 10-year Treasury jumped 35% in November, rising to 2.44%, giving banks a lot more room between borrowing costs and lending rates. Unemployment is hovering around a decade-low and consumer confidence jumped just before the all-important holiday shopping season. FDIC-insured banks reported 12.9% earnings growth… Read More

When you think of the phrase “victim of its own success” and you might think about consumer technology giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL). The company’s track record of groundbreaking innovation has set the bar of expectation at such a high level that even its billions in annual R&D research struggles to meet expectations. What Have You Done For Me Lately? Apple’s status as the world’s most valuable brand, not to mention its position as the largest publicly-traded company, makes Apple an unusual case for an investor to consider.

When you think of the phrase “victim of its own success” and you might think about consumer technology giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL). The company’s track record of groundbreaking innovation has set the bar of expectation at such a high level that even its billions in annual R&D research struggles to meet expectations. What Have You Done For Me Lately? Apple’s status as the world’s most valuable brand, not to mention its position as the largest publicly-traded company, makes Apple an unusual case for an investor to consider. Whether fairly or unfairly, Apple must always answer the question, “What have you done for me lately?” That said, the company’s estimated $237 billion in cash on the balance sheet, which is more than even the U.S. Treasury ever hopes to amass, gives Apple plenty of resources to answer that question multiple times each year. Estimates from International Data Corporation (IDC) suggest that 1.45 billion smartphones will ship in 2016, a rise of less than 1% year-over-year. That compares to a rise of over 10% in 2015 and represents a huge fall from the 47% rise in 2012. Right now, the market values Apple on the assumption that it won’t grow… Read More
