We're coming up on the last few weeks of earnings season... and one of my favorite parts.
That's because the absolute masters - the wizards, the "special forces" of money, the private equity pros - are reporting their earnings and giving their must-have take on the state of the markets and the global economy.
Why is this a can't-miss call?
Because there are some huge opportunities to be had following along with geniuses like Apollo Global Management LLC's (NYSE: APO) Leon Black and KKR & Co. LP's (NYSE: KKR) Bill Janetschek.
These folks make serious money. Some of them won't get out of bed unless they can lock in a market-crushing 15% or 20% to do it.
And if you go and do likewise, if you position your money and align your investing with the private equity giants, you can crush the market, too.
Because believe me, ho-hum indexing returns won't cut the mustard for a comfortable retirement.
About the Author
Tim Melvin is an unlikely investment expert by any measure. Raised in the "projects" of Baltimore by a single mother, he never attended college and started out as a door-to-door vacuum salesman. But he knew the real money was in the stock market, so he set sights on investing - and by sheer force of determination, he eventually became a financial advisor to millionaires. Today, after 30 years of managing money for some of the wealthiest people in the world, he draws on his experience to help investors find "unreasonably good" bargain stocks, multiply profits, and build their nest eggs. Tim tirelessly works to find overlooked "hidden gems" in the stock market, drawing on the research of legendary investors like Benjamin Graham, Walter Schloss, and Marty Whitman. He has written and lectured extensively on the markets, with work appearing on Benzinga, Real Money, Daily Speculations, and more. He has published several books in the "Little Book of" Investment Series and a "Junior Chamber Course" geared towards young adults that teaches Graham's principles and techniques to a new generation of investors. Today, he serves as the Special Situations Strategist at Money Morning and the editor of Peak Yield Investor.
