The Most Important Number for Any Investment

May 24, 2024Keith Kaplan

I used to be a great stock picker… and a terrible investor. That’s not a contradiction or an oxymoron. In fact, it’s something I’m sure you’ve experienced whether you realize it or not.

It’s officially bull season. Yes, you read that right. Even with stocks up 12% this year… and despite last week’s volatility… bull season begins NOW. We’ve been pounding the table all year long that late May through July has historically been a tremendous time to ride the markets higher.

We’re So Excited About These Boring Businesses

May 30, 2024Michael Salvatore

I was overcome with a peculiar, surprising, welcome feeling reading through the TradeSmith Daily feedback inbox ([email protected]) last week.
