How Terrible Headlines Can Bring Extreme Profits

by

Unless you've been camping out in the deep backwoods for the past two weeks or so, you know the news cycle is overwhelmingly negative at the moment.

I'm hearing from lots of folks who fear the worst is dead ahead, like a brick wall we're headed for at 90 miles per hour.

It's understandable. How many more headlines can we read about impeaching the president? About the trade war, about the war on success, before we go mad?

I think a good chunk of the world is there now, frankly.

Maybe you feel the same. And if so, you're not alone. I feel the angst, too.

That said, I sure am relieved we don't do politics around here, and that we deal with money! Money is a different animal: It's simpler. It's profitable. And it's fun… or at least it should be, anyway.

No matter how bad things get, no matter how atrocious the headlines become, no matter how disgusting the political vitriol will get, money will always be on the move.

Today, right now, is the perfect opportunity to talk about how we can set ourselves up to grab our fair share...

How to Protect Yourself from the New "Economic Cold War"

by

Last Friday, a "flash crash" hit Chinese stocks trading on U.S. exchanges. China's $440 billion equivalent to Amazon, Alibaba, dropped 7% in just four minutes.

Those stocks tried to recover early in the week but are now back at the levels hit last Friday.

On the surface, it looked like a small market "blip," or hiccup. But the truth is, this was nothing less than a ferocious salvo of fire in a war, just as surely as if it'd been two destroyers at sea blasting away at each other.

It's a different kind of war, though – economic war.

And every investor needs to come to terms with it and learn the simple way to protect your stocks and trading positions against it...

The 3 Best Biotech Stocks to Buy in Q4 2019

by

Investors hate uncertainty. If the future of a business or industry is in question, stocks suffer.

That's certainly the case with the biotech sector right now. In 2019, biotech stocks have been pummeled. The Nasdaq Biotech Index is down almost 12% over the last six months.

What's holding back the group? Uncertainty about drug prices is a huge overhang for biotech stocks

I Love It When Marijuana Sector CEOs Do This

by

We're at the first annual National Institute for Cannabis Investors retreat in Las Vegas. It's been a lot of fun, of course (and you can learn how to get in on it here). But it's also been extremely productive – informative, too.

The retreat floor is packed with NICI Members, cannabis industry exhibitors, CEOs, and insiders. There's a lot of competition for attention, and everyone's doing the kind of networking you'd find in, say, Silicon Valley.

It's not a stretch to say Las Vegas is the perfect place to spot the next big marijuana investing opportunity. It's been a great opportunity to get on a first-name basis with cannabis company founders.

I've managed to carve out some time to meet with some of these very folks – and get a feel for their plans to leverage the explosive growth the American and global marijuana industry is experiencing right now.

To impress me, they'll have to convince me of just one thing… Full Story

Why a Bitcoin Price Drop of 22% in 5 Days Didn't Alarm Anyone

Contrast that to what would happen on Wall Street if the Dow Jones Industrial Average were to plummet 22% in one week.

But Bitcoin is not like stocks or other assets.

Here's why the price of Bitcoin fell - and why investors were unfazed...
