How to Profit from the "Great Oil Turnaround" of 2016

by

We've been able to make energy profits during the oil bear because I'm tracking opportunities outside of petroleum. One of my favorite alternative "oil-killer" energy plays, for instance, is up 45% since I recommended it. The global energy balance is simply shifting to favor these alternative energy sources.

by

As the U.S. markets have moved sideways in the past week, gold has been in consolidation mode. Today the gold spot price is around $1,223.20 – down $9.50.

Gold traders have done some profit-taking as the gold price has bounced in a range between roughly $1,205 and $1,235 over the past trading week. But the gold spot price has stayed above the $1,200 level, which has helped to paint an increasingly bullish picture.

Technically, we're getting an emerging pennant pattern that will have to resolve itself before long. Will that be to the upside or downside?

Let's look at what will determine that direction...

Two Important Updates on Ekso Bionics Inc. and Consolidated Water Co.

by

One of Wall Street's cardinal sins is a "set it and forget it" mentality. What I mean by that is there's often a flurry of interest in specific stocks and then… nothing.

That's too bad because the devil, as they say, is always in the details. In that spirit, let's check in on two of our favorite recommendations today: Ekso Bionics and Consolidated Water.
