"Future-Proof" Your Portfolio Today, and You'll Be Ready for Any Market Event

Today I want to talk about something that's on a lot of people's minds at the moment – a concern I've heard from a lot of readers lately…

That is the prospect of a market crash in the weeks ahead.

Now, a crash is possible. The reasons why range from the novel coronavirus to the upcoming presidential election to another terrorist attack.

However, it's important to remember that nobody knows for certain what's going to happen. So do not let these – or any – uncertainties throw you off your long-term investing plan or cloud your thinking. Remember that making investing decisions based on emotion can lead to big losses.

What's best to ask is whether a market crash is probable. This allows you to prepare ahead of time for the unknown, which makes all the difference.

Take the coronavirus. Many analysts are calling it a black swan event, meaning it's unpredictable. But at this point, I think it's more like a "gray swan" – we know this thing is coming.

But the markets do not reflect this possibility. Even with Tuesday's market drop, major indexes are flirting with all-time highs. The melt-up that I told you was likely last fall seems unstoppable.

Well, I don't particularly like surprises. And this all leads to me to think there's another shoe out there getting ready to drop. Some folks may or may not share that opinion, but what we do share is the desire to future-proof our portfolios and our wealth.

Crush the Next Earnings Season - and Every One After - with This Simple Plan

Earnings season is wrapping up, and as usual, a lot of profits have been left on the table.

This should be the most profitable time of year. But so many traders miss the best opportunities.

That's why I trade earnings differently than everyone else.

I'm not an analyst. I don't give much thought to revenue and earnings per share (EPS). If you only focus on the top and bottom line, earnings can get really complicated, really quickly.

So I created my three-step earnings trading plan.

This plan simplifies the earnings process and still comes loaded with that same exciting profit potential that earnings brings.

For anyone who doesn't feel like they're making as much as they could from earnings, this plan will help you profit every single quarter, like clockwork.
