While many investors are still confused as to how the stock market is continuing higher as the number of new coronavirus cases is spiking here in the US, D.R. Barton Jr. may have figured out why…
During his Markets Live stream yesterday, D.R. revealed one chart that explains why the market is ignoring the new COVID cases.
If the data in this chart continues to be positive, that means stocks have an increased probability of trading higher for the second half of 2020 and into 2021.
One of the best benefits of trading options, even for beginners, is the ability to profit in both rising and falling markets.
With one small tweak, a winning strategy in a bullish trend easily converts to a winning strategy in a pullback.
But traders can easily be lulled to sleep following the markets trends.
Bearish traders made a killing March and April, but if they didn't switch strategies they lost out during the rally in May and June.

In just the past two weeks, Facebook Inc. stock has fallen from $242 down to $216, only to climb back again to $245. It's under a microscope right now, with around 800 companies – including giants like Coca-Cola Co., Hershey Co., Ford Motor Co., and Unilever NV – having "paused" their extensive ad buys.
The world's biggest social media site hosts around 2.6 billion active monthly users, so it's the ballpark all advertisers want to play in. Together, they paid Facebook almost $70 billion to do just that in 2019.
But those advertisers (or, more to the point, those advertisers' everyday customers) want Facebook to do more to police the content that appears on its site. So this "pause" in ad buying is really a de facto boycott.
Now, however you feel about Facebook's politics, if you're an investor, "boycott" is a scary word.
Advertising is Facebook's bread and butter, and when that all-important revenue stream is threatened, for any reason, all kinds of questions come up about Facebook's near-term value as a buy-and-hold stock. As my colleague, D.R. Barton, Jr., told you last week, though, there's still good reason to bet on FB for the long haul.
And as I'll show you today, the best way to make money on Facebook right now is to trade it.
The smart move is "renting" Facebook for a couple of cents on the dollar; that'll slash our risk and potentially put a cool $1,000 in our pockets toward the end of the summer.

Somebody forgot to tell the triple-net lease REITs that the world is ending.
Triple-net REITs own properties that are rented to single tenants.
The tenants are responsible for paying all the expenses associated with the property, including maintenance, taxes, and insurance (that's the "triple-net" part).
The leases tend to be long term with 10-15 years being standard.
The owners collect the rent and pass it on to us as shareholders.
Here are the best REITs to buy to add some much needed income to your portfolio this summer...
