Recently at StreetAuthority, we’ve been telling readers about a way to invest in some of the most exciting companies the world has to offer — before they go public on traditional stock exchanges. This is an absolute game-changer for investors. It means, for the first time ever, regular, non-accredited investors can get in on the early stages of what could become the next Google, Facebook, Microsoft and more. And it should go without saying that the potential profits to be had are enormous. If you missed my recent interview about this with Joseph Hogue, Chief Strategist of our newest premium advisory, Pre-IPO Millionaire, go here. In that issue, we talk about everything from the loosening of regulations that make this possible to the various crowdfunding platforms investors can use to make incredible triple-digit-plus gains that many investors have already realized from this space. —Recommended Link— Can This Tax-Free Loophole Save Your Retirement?

Since the inception of my premium newsletter, Top Stock Advisor, our goal has been to provide subscribers with a portfolio of some of the world’s greatest, most capital-efficient companies.  The result: A legacy portfolio that could be passed down from generation to generation… One that doesn’t expose you to unnecessary risk, yet still outperforms the market… A portfolio that can stand the test of time, weather unpredictable events, and mitigate the risk of uncertain economic futures.

The presidential election gave us a taste of an unpredictable event — a stress test if you will. So how did the portfolio do? 11 of 19. That’s the number of stocks that are positive since the day before the election. Of those 11 stocks, all but one of them has outpaced the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500. Overall, the portfolio increased roughly 1.5%, which is all the more remarkable considering that nearly 40% is in cash. —Recommended Link— The Most Expensive Piece Of This Car Could Make You Rich Sustainable energy is not cheap.

The day after the election I tried to process it. Donald Trump? President? Of the United States? By the end of the day, I came to a conclusion. After the UK “Brexit” vote, I should’ve seen this coming. How could I have missed it? This was the “Uber moment” for American politics. #-ad_banner-#But what exactly is an “Uber moment”?

The day after the election I tried to process it. Donald Trump? President? Of the United States? By the end of the day, I came to a conclusion. After the UK “Brexit” vote, I should’ve seen this coming. How could I have missed it? This was the “Uber moment” for American politics. #-ad_banner-#But what exactly is an “Uber moment”? Obviously named after the revolutionary ridesharing app, an “Uber moment” can best be described as the point at which a completely disruptive paradigm shift has emerged in the status quo or a specific institution.  Taxi cabs are swiftly being replaced by entrepreneurial Uber drivers thanks to the handy smartphone app. The competitive rise of Airbnb has turned hundreds of thousands of private property owners into would-be hoteliers, turning the traditional lodging industry on its head. And Donald J. Trump has defied conventional American political wisdom by winning a presidential election by relying on earned media (news coverage) and social media rather than the traditional, big-campaign infrastructure. As the Chinese expression goes, “May you live in interesting times.” So how do we profit from Uber moments as investors? We start by looking for obvious signs. In the mid 1990s, pundits always said… Read More

It was classic Washington protectionism… disguised, of course, as “looking out for the little guy.” Regulators claimed that this kind of investing was too dangerous for “regular people,” so they made it off limits. Well, you know how these things work… It turns out that this “off-limits” niche of the market has helped a privileged few walk away with fortunes. Meanwhile, the other 97% of Americans were completely shut out — simply because they didn’t meet the SEC’s strict net-worth requirements. In other words, they simply weren’t rich enough to enter the playground enjoyed by elite investors. But on May… Read More

Things are changing in America. In fact, change will likely be the single word best describing the next several years in future history books.  #-ad_banner-#We are expecting a new presidential administration with grand visions of a thriving domestic economy. There will be a House and Senate united under a single-party majority, and business and personal income taxes are expected to be slashed. All these changes combine to create an economy supercharged with expansion.

There will be a House and Senate united under a single-party majority, and business and personal income taxes are expected to be slashed. All these changes combine to create an economy supercharged with expansion. And all of this growth will be incredibly beneficial to the American people.  However, to economists and investors, there will likely be a dark side to such rapid expansion. This dark side will be the Federal Reserve aggressively stepping in to slow the growth via interest rate increases. Rates have already started to ease higher, as evidenced by the 0.25% advance last December, in response to a successful fiscal stimulus program. We all know that higher interest rates are thought to slow economic growth and strengthen the U.S. dollar. However, don’t despair. Opportunities will abound in a climbing-rate environment. Stock market investors can profit from a climbing interest rate environment by going long greenback ETF’s like PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSE: UUP). Other sectors… Read More

May 2016 marked an historic event for individual investors, yet it was largely neglected by Wall Street and the mainstream media.  The new opportunity revolves around an asset class that has meant out-sized returns for the wealthy and has remained off-limits to everyone else. Regulations around access to this investment have also meant limited funding for entrepreneurship in America. Now for the first time since 1933, individual investors have been given the same access to this market, and it could be bigger than the Internet boom of the 1990s. — Recommended Link — Which Stock Indicator Is Most Accurate?

Imagine being arrested for a crime that you haven’t even committed yet. Noted science-fiction author Philip K. Dick wrote about this possibility many years ago.

These high-tech skills, services, and products are now a must-have to compete in today’s quantitatively driven corporate environment.  However, these firms remain in their infancy, offering years of upside potential for savvy investors who can choose the right companies in the space now. The leading company in this sector is already up over 18% this year and has just posted strong third quarter results. Even better, its share price has set it up to be an ideal buy candidate.

American singles bored with the bar scene are increasingly going online to find love. According to a report from the Pew Research Center, the number of American adults that have used online dating increased to 15% in the summer of 2015 from 13% in 2013. That seemingly small 2 percentage point increase represents a full 5 million new customers.

The number of 55-64 year olds that have used online dating apps doubled to 12% from 6% in 2013. Both statistics paint a promising outlook for the industry. The surge in popularity has the online dating industry on pace to generate $2.4 billion in sales in 2016. Looking forward, I am expecting industry sales to grow around 5% annually for the next two years. That 5% growth projection might not jump off the page. However, if a big chunk of that growth is captured by one global leader, it becomes significant. The online dating industry has become much more competitive in the last two years, creating nearly impassable barriers to entry. Read More
