There's no shortage of loud distractions out there for investors right now, competing for our precious mental bandwidth. I'm bombarded with it every day, just like you are.
The good news is you can tune all that "stuff" out, because there are really just two things to focus on right now.
First, revenue drives earnings, and earnings drive stock prices - line up one, and the other is almost certain to follow.
Second - and as folks are quickly discovering in my new Straight Line Profits service - knowing how to determine whether a stock should be higher is absolutely critical to your investing success.
I know that sounds obvious, but you'd be amazed at how many investors don't connect the two.
Apple - a company that's already doubled our money - is a great example of what I'm talking about.

Does "Money Morning" ever review penny stocks? It always seems like the stocks you write about are around $140-$150 and up. With my small account of $4000 it's hard to buy and hold then find another stock to buy and hold again.
Especially when the first stock has only moved such a small amount.
What do I do? Take profits of $10- $15 then buy again into the next stock you recommend? what happens if the stock you recommend only makes me $4.00?
My broker loves me for that, he just keeps making commissions and I'm losing a dollar every time.
