UBS: A Stock Market Crash Is Inevitable

by

A stock market crash in inevitable – we've been saying it for months.

Now a UBS economist, in a note to investors on Friday, predicted the same. "Signs are accumulating that, after six-and-a-half years and price gains of more than 200%, the Bull Market has entered into the 'Late Innings.'"

Here's how we know that a stock market crash is indeed on the horizon - and how you can profit from this well-timed warnings...

Grab Gilead Sciences Stock Before Its Next 66.5% Climb (Nasdaq: GILD)

by

Sometimes Washington triggers a stock move that can hand us outsized gains. That's exactly what happened with Gilead Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD).

In March 2014, U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) lashed out at the cost of Gilead's newly approved Hepatitis C (HCV) drug, Sovaldi. Sovaldi runs $84,000, or $1,000 a pill.

But Waxman missed the obvious. Sovaldi (and its newer version Harvoni) cures 90% of HCV patients. That means patients can avoid the need for a liver transplant – an operation that runs $250,000 if an organ donor is found. And that price doesn't include antirejection drugs and antibiotics people must take for the rest of their lives.

Still, Gilead sold off on fears that its high cost would make Medicare look to another HCV drug maker with a less expensive solution. GILD stock lost 13% of its value in a matter of days.

Wall Street was dead wrong…

Medicare actually spent $4.6 billion on Hepatitis C treatments in the first six months of this year. That's almost as much as the agency spent in all of 2014. Gilead accounted for 66% of all covered prescriptions.

And since April 2014, Gilead has gained 66.5% – more than four times that of the S&P 500.

Simply put, Gilead dominates the HCV sector. And as I'll show you today, opportunities for the firm are growing faster...

HP Company Split: Will Two Stocks Reverse the Tailspin? (HPQ, HPE)

by

The HP company split of HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE), official as of yesterday (Sunday), marks a herculean effort to create more shareholder value from two companies than was possible with one.

Both face challenges, but as smaller, more focused companies, they have a better chance of overcoming those challenges than did the unwieldy conglomerate that the old Hewlett Packard had become.

Here's how the HP company split could succeed - and how it could fail...
