Do This Now with Bitcoin…

March 12, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

I remember Bitcoin’s rise really well. My whole career, I’ve been building software. And when the technology came out around blockchain, I knew it would revolutionize the world. You see, in my past life of writing lines of code in the security world, one problem always persisted… something we call “nonrepudiation.” The concept is simple…. When you have any sort of transaction, you want to be able to prove that transaction took place and is 100% legit. The blockchain solves this problem… and I immediately

Advice I’d Give My Mom on Cryptos!

March 5, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

My parents grew up without much. Meeting in high school, they had ambitions to go to college together and get married. But they couldn’t afford to pay for it themselves. They had heard about a program where they could get a free college degree from Towson University in Maryland — if they committed to being schoolteachers for two years. So, they did it. And my mom wound up teaching for her whole career. My father taught for many years in Baltimore City, experiencing some of the roughest

Three Free Stocks Inside!

February 26, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

I’m giving away three free stocks from our products this week. Read on to get them. But please, don’t just take the tickers and buy. Instead, I hope you’ll take a little time to really understand why we think each is a “buy” right now. If you tuned in last week, you can probably guess I’m talking about “factors.” Factors are just the specific qualities of an investment responsible for its potential risk and reward. They’re the “reasons why” a particular investment does

This Simple Idea Could Change the Way You Invest Forever

February 19, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

Last week, I sat down for an interview with a popular newscaster from Florida named Rachel. She had heard about our work in bringing hedge-fund-level investing techniques to everyday investors (people like you and me). Rachel even quizzed me about the “WallStreetBets” crowd that pushed shares of GameStop (GME) to sky-high prices last month. After we finished the interview, we had lunch together. I found out what it’s like to raise four kids and have to be at the news station every day

What I Expect in 2021

January 29, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

Every January around this time, the financial “experts” roll out their predictions for the year ahead. Unfortunately, most of them fall short. After all, it’s incredibly difficult to predict what might actually happen in the economy over an entire year with any degree of certainty. But it’s next to impossible to predict exactly how the markets might react to any of those potential events in advance. Just think back to this time last year… Do you remember anyone predicting the

The Most Important Step Toward Financial Freedom Is One You Wouldn’t Expect

January 22, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

DEBT. If you’re anything like me, just reading that word can trigger anxiety. As I told you last week, I struggled with the shame, worry, and fear of too much debt for years. But I can also tell you that paying down that debt was the most important step I took toward a brighter financial future. It didn’t matter how great my jobs were early in my career. It didn’t matter how much money I made year after year. And

Welcome to Money Talks with Keith

January 15, 2021TradeSmith Editorial Staff

America is facing a serious financial crisis. Right now, millions of people — including many you might otherwise assume to be wealthy and successful — are living with shame, anxiety, and fear as they struggle to make ends meet. But this crisis has nothing to do with the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, at least not directly. This is a crisis of ignorance. You see, most of us go through years and years of schooling. You may even have
