Read nowStocks have been hot here in the first six weeks of the year. But some of the stocks that have shot out of the gate are not the kinds of stocks you want to own. Let's look at three of those now, and I'll tell you about one stock that is exactly the right kind to own.
Read nowSomething incredible happened. Some might say it’s a coincidence, but I know it was based on hard data that couldn’t be denied. In last week’s Power Trends+, TradeSmith analyst Luke Downey made a prediction that Broadcom (AVGO) would soon announce a stock split (or at least they should). Well, it didn’t take long.

Read nowStock splits have been around for a long time, but June brings a couple of whoppers – including one of the biggest in history. The data is clear that stock splits can be big opportunities for investors. Coca-Cola (KO), one of Warren Buffett’s main holdings, has split 11 times in the last 105 years.
