It doesn’t seem possible to be both a contrarian and momentum investor, but right now I would say I am. I admit there aren’t a lot of us around, but it’s working. It can work for you, too. You just need to follow the data and the money.
Read nowHere’s something you don’t see often: A company’s share price jumps more than 20% in a single day – after reporting a drop in sales and profits. But that’s just what happened with Meta Platforms (META) – the social-media artist formerly known as Facebook. Let’s look at what Meta did, understand why the move was so bullish, and see how we can spot these events as they’re happening.
Read nowI spent four years working in London, which included pub visits where the patrons played darts. Skilled players consistently ignore 99% of the board – the low- and mediocre-point values – and focus on the crucial 1% where they get the most bang for the buck (or pound, I should say). Let's talk today about similarly rare stocks that deliver the biggest gains.
Read nowWhether we’re talking geopolitical rhetoric or a real shooting war, global conflict is a major consideration for investors. The impact can be massive, from tragic human suffering to economic devastation, supply-chain disruptions, and more. One year after Russia invaded Ukraine and at least one spy balloon later, let's look at how investors are reacting now.
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 now“Artificial intelligence” (AI) has emerged as one of the hottest topics around. Companies are announcing. Investors are buying. And stocks are soaring. AI is an amazing technology. I’m excited about it too. I’ve been studying it, machine learning, database architecture, and algorithm construction for some time now, and I’m incorporating more of it into my stock-picking system to bolster our already high success rate – and keep us ahead of the always-aggressive Wall Street. I also believe AI has opened
Read nowVulcan Point Island in the Philippines is the real-world example of that old parable about a “riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” This well-known tourist attraction is an island … inside a lake … inside an island … inside a lake … inside an island. That deep-in-the-center island (red arrow) is akin to the bullseye center on a big dart board. But if you were just dropped onto that island blindfolded, you’d open your eyes and have absolutely
Read nowThe silence is deafening. That expression can’t be literally true. It’s an oxymoron. A deafening silence says more about what’s not happening than about what is. I spend my professional life analyzing stock data, and what I’m seeing now can be summed up in a similar oxymoron… The data says more about what it doesn’t say. And I’m going to explain why that’s great for investors. What the Big Money Is Buying Most people don’t have the tools or the
Read nowFrom forecasts by our team of experts, to a battle between two home improvement stocks, to a dividend-stock investing strategy, to a crypto to buy not named Bitcoin (BTC), to three potential takeover targets in the year ahead, we have a little bit of something for everyone.
Read nowHis self-given title is Technoking – as in “technology king” – which he much prefers over CEO. Is he a once-in-a-generation genius? Is he crazy? Both? Like him or not, Elon Musk is a brilliant innovator. He is also a lighting rod of publicity and controversy. But … Musk is six for six when it comes to businesses started or owned, including PayPal (PYPL), SpaceX, SolarCity, and the CEO – sorry, Technoking – of Tesla (TSLA). Telsa is Musk’s only
Read nowAfter a painful year, many Americans now face an income crisis. As inflation roared at the pump, the grocery store, and everywhere else, prices increased faster than income for middle-class Americans, according to the Congressional Budget Office. That’s what happened to nearly 75% of middle-class families, according to a survey by Primerica. They are not earning enough to keep up with the higher cost of living. Even more devastating for the future, three in four middle-class families can’t save for
Read nowI call it Bizarro World. I can’t take credit for the name. It’s a nod to the fictional planet that DC Comics invented more than 50 years ago … a place where everything seemed to operate opposite of expectations. Like we’re seeing with the stock market right now. Investors are trying to figure out if “good news” is actually good for stocks – or if it’s bad in this weird market reality we’re all living through right now. Want an
