Why the E-Trade Merger Is a Bad Deal for Investors Like You

As their new client, you will be part of a new revenue generation stream that goes beyond simple brokerage commissions.

The Coronavirus Sell-Off Has Made These 3 Dividend Stock "Must Haves"

by

This week has seen one of the most remarkable sell-offs in recent history.

Fears of the coronavirus spreading have moved markets into correction territory.

This morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down another 1,085 points (4%) in early trading.

Remember, panicking is the worst thing you can do right now.

Make no mistake, it's only natural to worry when the markets fall so sharply.

But this is the time that maintaining a disciplined investing approach is so important.

You can't let emotions drive your decision making.

One way to maintain that discipline is finding discounted stocks that pay solid dividends.

Collecting cash dividends is one of the best ways to offset losses by the broader markets.

And this market correction has driven down the price of many stocks that are still poised to outperform over the long term.

This Coronavirus Hedge Can Double Your Money

by

Just hours after I delivered a trade recommendation to hedge the coronavirus market drop, markets took another 3% to 4% hit. That's how fast shares are moving right now.

There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to what's ahead for the coronavirus market impact. But using my history of trading in the stock market, I've found there is a sector that often leads the market lower in similar circumstances as we have today: the financials.

I've been focusing on this group for the last week. A closer look shows us that there are a couple of companies within the financial sector that have actually not been making new highs, have been trading level since December, and are now starting to lead the rest of the sector down.

These are what I refer to as my "Worst in Breed" stock picks as opposed to my usual "Best in Breed" picks. A "Worst in Breed" pick is a stock leading a hard-hit sector even lower.

The coronavirus is going to have a global impact on the economy, which we'll see play out in the financials. These stocks are intertwined with all the large economies. There will be continued weakness in this sector.

That's why today, I'm going to show you a way to play the entire sector's drop with two trades that are so easy to execute, even my mother could do it.

Remember, there's no such thing as a shortage of opportunity – even among rising market panic – so long as you know where to look… Full Story

Warren Buffett Has a Blind Spot for These 3 Dividend Stocks

by

When interest rates are as low as they are right now, currently under 2%, investors have to turn to stocks to find higher yields.

While the Oracle of Omaha hits the nail on the head most of the time, we think he's a little short of the mark here.

Today, well show you why Buffett doesn't follow his own advice, including three dividend stocks that can offer you healthy yield and upside potential...
