The Secret to Getting Your Biggest Earnings Profits

by

We're a couple weeks into another unusual earnings season, with another month to go – and plenty more "earnings profit plays" for you to employ…

Now, I think most traders got the "shock" out of their systems last quarter, when companies announced some pretty weak numbers and, more than that, took guidance off the table for the foreseeable future.

This round, I imagine the reports will continue to be a mixed bag. The numbers could very well be better than last quarter overall – but I don't really need to bet one way or the other. The last thing I want to do is leave my hard-earned money at risk over a really uncertain outcome.

To be safe, investors can tighten up their trailing stops to prevent major losses from an earnings surprise. Like Intel Corp., falling 17% after announcing a delay in releasing new chips.

As traders, the best way to play earnings is to get in and get out before the "main event" – the earnings report itself.

Think of it like when a ticket scalper buys a block of tickets. Their tickets are much more valuable before the event actually begins. As soon as it starts, the value drops significantly. It's the same with an options contract.

When you do it right, you can double your money on earnings again and again – here's how it's done… Full Story

This Is How You Keep the Profits You've Made

by

The S&P 500 has skyrocketed 46% over the past four months, and the Nasdaq hit an all-time closing high of 10,767 on July 20, surging 56% over the same period.

Thanks to mobile investing, more and more people are getting in on the big stock-buying party.

If you're following along with us, I'm sure you're taking down winners, too.

Now, I'm the last guy that who'd want to spoil a good party – especially one where we're raking it in hand over fist.

So, rather than harp on the obvious systemic risks which we all know are out there, I'm going to show you an inexpensive way to protect those bull-market profits and, even better, pocket more when the market makes its inevitable turn.

Because your profits don't have to take a hit just because a bull market has. There's an added benefit to hedging when the markets are close to highs, too: Protection is ridiculously cheap.

It's a Great Time to Buy Microsoft Stock

by

Microsoft's long-awaited earnings report came out Wednesday, and the company beat expectations all around.

This doesn't come as a surprise seeing that a large number of businesses have switched to a remote model due to COVID-19. This switch has led to an uptick in demand for Microsoft's cloud and remote collaboration tools, which has boosted their numbers significantly.

These numbers are impressive – but the market didn't react as you might expect to these impressive numbers.

I'm not worried. In fact, I love it. I see this drop as a great time to pick up more shares of MSFT. Based on what I'm looking at, this stock has much more upside ahead… Full Story

How to Avoid the Four Most Common Mistakes Angel Investors Make in Their First Year

by

So many people miss out on the staggering gains they can get from startup investing because of one thing: fear.

It's the biggest mistake a potential investor can make – being so terrified of making any mistakes that they don't take a step forward at all.

The opportunity cost of not investing is high, and can lock them out of returns from one of the highest-performing asset classes of all time.

Opportunity cost is not a financial cost. It doesn't appear on your bank account. But it can still be substantial – and in this case, it can mean missing out on hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Venture capitalists like to say that their losses are bounded to 1x their money – or, you can only lose the money you invest – while their potential gains are unbounded. Previous startup returns have been as high as 10,000x in certain cases (where an investment of $10,000 results in a $100 million return) and sometimes even higher.

It's inevitable that you'll make several mistakes while starting on your journey as an investor. This is absolutely OK, even expected.

What's great about angel investing is that you can start by investing a very small amount ($100) and can make money while making mistakes.

Plus, you have an advantage if you're just getting started with angel investing. You have me, who's already learned from these mistakes and can show you how to sidestep them.

Here are the four most common mistakes that angel investors make in their first year of investing. Avoid these, and you get to the rewarding part of angel investing faster… Full Story
