As a former Wall Street insider, I don’t relish in acknowledging the fact that investment pros “rig” the game. I’m not saying they do anything illegal, though we’ve seen that in the past. But as a group, those pros are not above squeezing every possible advantage out of a complicated system, usually at the expense of the rest of us just trying to build our wealth.
Read nowWe’re actually at a critical fork in the road when it comes to stocks and making money. The folks who stay vigilant and opportunistic will follow the path to big wins. Those who sleepwalk their way down that other road will get left in the dust – and could even end up losing big.
Read nowHere comes the annual iPhone announcement that it seems the whole world waits for. iPhones are Apple’s biggest revenue producer – by far. There must be a way to make money off a product whose annual sales would make it the 55th-largest nation in the world, right? There’s the obvious way (buy Apple shares). And then there are the less-obvious – but potentially more profitable – ways to go about it.
Read nowI’ve had great success picking winning stocks by relying on “predictive analytics” – which starts with massive amounts of data, and uses a systematized analysis to get down to the few moneymaking numbers that matter. So I thought: Why not use that same approach to make an early-season wager on who will win this year’s Super Bowl? And if I could have the same probability of success as my quantum stock-picking system – it’s right 70% of the time – then I might be on to something.
Read nowMy Quantum Edge system – whose “formal” name is M.A.P. – uses sophisticated algorithms to detect unusual buy and sell signals that Big Money Wall Street pros try so hard to disguise. I told sometimes refer to these signals as “chaos spikes.” If you can see through the chaos and understand what’s really happening, you can hijack Wall Street’s edge and make it your own.
Read nowWe all know that stocks can inflict painful “bites” from time to time. Like most of last year. And earlier this year. But, like fearless Bill Haast, we as investors can choose how we react to those bites.
Read nowEven with four months left ‘til the end of the year, I think we can say (with confidence) that the emergence of artificial intelligence will go down as one of the biggest stories of 2023. Companies are falling all over themselves to work AI into the quarterly reports. Investors are buying all things AI. And stocks are soaring. You want to buy reality... and beware of the hype.
Read nowWe’ve reached yet another milestone as technology continues to reshape our world and our lives. For the first time ever, fewer than half of us now watch our shows via “traditional” TV. We are now in the age of streaming content. As investors, we naturally want to know if that seismic shift is an opportunity. The answer is yes. But probably not the way most investors think.
Read nowI’m a pretty mellow guy, so I never throw things at the financial-channel talking heads. And I usually don’t yell about the crazy things that seem to be happening. (Usually.) But I often feel like just turning it off, walking away from it – for a few days or even a few weeks – and tuning back in later to see if the craziness is gone and sanity restored. That would be a mistake – and a costly one at that.
Read nowHow’d you like to be up 62% in the last month? Dumb question, I know. Any one of us would take 62% anytime, but especially when most stocks are getting tossed around in notorious August volatility. That 62% is the average gain of five stocks topping the list of a simple stock-searching “screen” I ran. Here’s what I looked for, and what I recommend you do next.
