When I was 12 years old, my grandfather loaned me his classic Hasselblad camera to shoot photos in the park near where I grew up. The light was dim and I wanted to capture the colorful tree line that was swaying in the wind, so I loaded up some high-speed Kodak film and hit the road. I knew I only had one chance to get that perfect light, perfect shot, perfect exposure. I wasn’t worried; I had faith in Kodak and its quality products. But sure enough, I had some incorrect settings and the pictures were useless. Even then, I… Read More

With family, friends and financial interests in both Texas and Florida, it’s been a tough couple of weeks watching both states get pummeled with back-to-back natural disasters. While Irma was tearing through Florida, my parents and grandparents were hunkered down in a house just north of West Palm Beach… and like so many Americans, I was unsure of the outcome and prepared to do just about anything. The unpredictability of these storms and the average American’s hesitance to prepare can lead to chaotic situations just ahead of landfall.

Experts all seem to agree that the stock market is overvalued from a fundamental perspective. This conclusion can be reached based on almost any fundamental ratio.

This is about 67% above its long-term average of 14.7. —Sponsored Link— Small Group Uncovers Millionaire’s Simple Stock-Picking Strategy With no Wall Street experience, a chemical engineer at DuPont accidentally uncovered a powerful pattern that often appears just before a stock’s share price doubles, triples, or even quadruples — seemingly out of nowhere.

But not long ago, this unassuming engineer began sharing his discovery with a handful of “beta testers” to confirm his theory. This year alone, his pattern has pinpointed 31 triple-digit windfalls. And now, he’s ready to unveil it to a whole new group of investors. Full Story… Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller’s cyclically adjusted P/E ratio is also warning the market is overvalued. At 30.2, this ratio is more than 85% above its long-term average of 16.1. Shiller is well known for calling market tops. He called the top in 2000, just before the dot-com bubble burst, and also… Read More

Over the past 90 years, September and October have earned a reputation for being the two most volatile months for the markets. And this September is likely to be anything but predictable. The month is already off to a rocky start.

I want to let you in on a secret… Wall Street doesn’t make most of its money from the stock market. While trading equities constitutes a large part of “big banking,” if you were to add the value of all the stocks in the world it would only come out $36.6 trillion. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a big number. It’s also one reason brokerage commissions have been the bread and butter of Wall Street firms since the New York Stock Exchange was founded in 1817.

Last week, I made countless calls to friends in the Houston area to ensure everyone was OK.

Over the past decade or so, we’ve seen a major shift in the way we eat out. While I still like a good ol’ McNugget, the rest of country apparently wanted something more… and fast-casual dining chains — Chipotle, Potbelly, Red Robin, SmashBurger, Shake Shack and so many more — were happy to oblige. This new evolution of “fast food” has elevated the market with higher-quality, arguably better tasting foods. These companies have also permanently stolen market share away from legacy brands in this already oversaturated industry.

Over the past decade or so, we’ve seen a major shift in the way we eat out. While I still like a good ol’ McNugget, the rest of country apparently wanted something more… and fast-casual dining chains — Chipotle, Potbelly, Red Robin, SmashBurger, Shake Shack and so many more — were happy to oblige. This new evolution of “fast food” has elevated the market with higher-quality, arguably better tasting foods. These companies have also permanently stolen market share away from legacy brands in this already oversaturated industry. As these new companies opened up thousands of locations across the country, “old school” fast-food chains found it harder and harder to make money. As a result, they too opened new stores! Now, we are stuck with way too many fast-casual restaurants, all of which are experiencing slowing sales growth and rising food costs that are cutting into margins, compounding the competition factor. McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) — with its deep pockets, precise cost controls and profound brand recognition — has been able to successfully fight back and retain its market share. Privately-owned Burger King, Mickey-D’s chief competitor, is also fighting back with creative advertising, unique flavor combinations and discounts. But when a market… Read More
