Mr. 1,000 Is Ready to Take on AGI

August 19, 2024Michael Salvatore

In This Digest: There’s a funny thing about pendulums… Quick physics experiment for you… trust me, it’s going somewhere. Imagine you have a pendulum. If you hold it up some distance from neutral and let go, it’ll follow an arc down past the neutral point and rise to the other side, about opposite where you dropped it. It’ll then return to you at the same speed. And no matter where you drop the weight along the arc or how long

This Dividend Stalwart is Crushing the Market… and It’s Going Higher

August 20, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Now that the stock market crash from earlier this month has vanished, it’s time to get back to business. Hopefully you heeded our data-driven advice and bought stocks during the volatility scare. While that note was bullish from a broad-based perspective, today I want to drill down on one of my favorite stocks this year that just announced an incredible earnings report, retail giant Walmart (WMT). (Disclosure, I own shares of WMT.) The storied discount retailer offered a glimpse into the

This Simple System Beat the Market 85% of the Time

August 21, 2024Keith Kaplan

As investors, uncertainty is our constant companion. Nobody can predict the future. So, no matter how confident we may be, we can never be certain of the outcome for any investment.

Especially when many of the best investments come from the little-known, unsexy companies quietly beating the market. This is where being armed with a data-driven approach shines… With comprehensive tools, we can single out those boringly effective companies whose performance dwarfs the broad

A Recession of the Have-Nots

August 23, 2024Michael Salvatore

In This Digest: We’re likely in the weirdest recession in U.S. history… I won’t get any accolades for saying it, and I’m not looking for them. My only hope is that, from reading this letter, your wealth-building journey is as smooth as possible. But I believe we’re already in a recession in the U.S. This is no ordinary recession, mind you. In retrospect, it’ll prove to be an altogether mild one. But it’s also the first one, to our mind,

Why the Biggest AI Winners Are “Invisible”

August 24, 2024Michael Salvatore

Investors who stick with the “Magnificent 7” for their AI plays are looking in the wrong place. That’s the word from Eric Fry – global macro expert, serial 1,000% stock picker, and early tech trendspotter. It’s not hard to understand why the top brass of the stock market was the biggest winner of the AI mania. It was the “picks and shovels” period – when semiconductors were the only provable play… and any software play outside of the biggest tech
