How to Maximize Profit Opportunity in a World Turned Upside-Down

by Leave a Comment

"How do I keep my money safe?"

It's a question on the minds of many investors – and rightly so, given last week's hijinks. First there was China, then politics, then rates… a trifecta of sorts.

The ugly truth, as we saw perfectly illustrated last week, is that too many people wait until a major market move is already in progress before they start thinking about how to protect their portfolio.

These folks are starting from five steps back. For many investors – especially those who have just worked up the courage to get back in, having gotten shellacked in the global financial crisis a decade ago – this couldn't have happened at a worse time. They're scared and frustrated.

But if you take the approach I'm going to talk about today, you'll find market dips are just a speed bump in the path to profits...

Why the Dow Dropped 760 Points (and What to Do Now)

by Leave a Comment

Monday’s hair-raising 760-point Dow drop was certainly a good reason for Keith to put a halt to his current vacation activities and address what’s going on with his readers.

Here are five factors that led to the drop - and what you can do about it now…

Wall Street

How to See Through Every Big Lie Wall Street Throws at You

by Leave a Comment

You know I'm no fan of Wall Street, but even I have to hand it to 'em: They have done a masterful job convincing regular folks that investing is difficult.

Those professional illusionists that perform from one end of the Las Vegas Strip to the other can't hold a candle to this bunch.

They baffle folks with obscure jargon, they make people terrified of volatility, and even more insidiously, they manipulate investors into acting irrationally.

The Street spends billions on advertising intended to convince you that it's hip to trade and invest, that you can do it from your car, that you can make great buys while you're picking up your kids or doing your job. In fact, I'll bet you've seen the same groovy commercials I have trying to convince you that's the case.

What they don't tell you is how they separate investors from their money...

Here’s the Truth About Those Big Bank Earnings Beats

by 1 Comment

Earnings season is now in high gear, and as I predicted last week, the numbers are coming in stronger than the pundits expected.

That was definitely the case with the big banks last week; Goldman Sachs blew the doors off Wall Street's expectations, posting earnings of $5.81 versus the $4.89 analysts had on the board. JPMorgan posted earnings of $2.82 versus estimates of $2.50.

JPMorgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, noted "positive momentum with the U.S. consumer – healthy confidence levels, solid job creation, and rising wages."

Now, it's certainly true the consumer is stronger than the headlines suggest. That's a truth we talk about frequently.

But that's not the real story…

The truth is something you and I and just about every American know deep down: There are some significant challenges facing U.S. consumers right now.

I'm talking about very real inflation – the existence of which the Fed has denied for years now – and the ever-increasing levels of consumer debt out there.

The two are related, despite what you might hear coming out of Washington and Wall Street.

Let me show you what's really happening here - and a stock you can buy to both profit and protect yourself...

This Earnings Season’s Winners Could Put Money in Your Pocket for Years to Come

by 1 Comment

Well, believe it or not, Q2 earnings season is upon us – and it’s widely expected to be a downer.

With the average decline in earnings coming in around 2.6%, it’ll be the second straight quarter of declines year over year.

By comparison, the average estimated earnings decline was just 0.5%, so this is potentially a big deal.

But not to worry, because Keith’s going to show you how to capture all the upside…

There's Something Different About This Rally – Here's What to Do About It

by 1 Comment

The S&P 500 is on target to hit the "best first half-year" it's had in more than a decade, while the Dow is on track to do even better, with the best June on record since 1938.

Strategically speaking, I think the rally could go on for another decade, which is why you want to invest accordingly. There really is that much fuel pent up between growing sales, cheap money, and – unbelievably – a Fed that's still accommodative.

Tactically, though, I sense a change in direction. I'm not alone in my thinking, incidentally. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) analysts pointed out something my own research has picked up on and we've talked about in recent months.

Don't get me wrong – this change is nothing to fear. But it's the perfect time to emphasize some of the tactics and investments we've talked about before, so that we're in the best possible position for profits.

Let me show you what's going on...

This $6 Stock Could Be Your Next Fast Profits Winner

by 2 Comments

One of the best ways to get fast profits – besides using options – is to find an under-the-radar stock that’s low-priced and about to go “mainstream.”

You can see your investment double or triple as that stock’s price soars up on revenue growth and increased investment.

It’s how most of today’s fattest portfolios got so big.

Today, we’re giving you a $6 stock that could be the next double or triple in your portfolio.

Triple-Digit Gains and Resilience Aren't the Only Reasons to Own This Company

by Leave a Comment

In my capacity as Chief Investment Strategist, I'm often asked to recommend stocks that will "beat the market" or "withstand a trade war with China" or – as of late – be "recession-proof" – a thought on the minds of many given the prospect of a Fed rate cut.

In investing, there are no sure things, of course, but the stock I've got for you is damn close…

In fact, it's the closest thing out there to a recession-proof stock as I can find. Not only that, but it's a company that's delivered more than 291% in gains on a special move we've made in past.

It's still perfectly positioned for profits, and as you'll see in a second, it likely will be for a long time to come.

Before I tell you what it is, though, let's talk for a moment about why this matters...

This Defense Stock Pick Couldn't Be More Timely

by Leave a Comment

With global tensions at an all-time high, it's perfectly normal to be concerned.

But as intelligent investors, we'll reserve judgment until the facts are clear, because we have the risk management in place to do that.

We're calm and confident while others are running around panicking.

That's why it's the perfect time for Keith to recommend this defense stock.

And with shares already moving quickly, there's really no time to lose...

How to Tune Out and Cash In Big in a Scary Market

by Leave a Comment

If you've ever felt like you're being relentlessly bombarded with information, you're onto something. And if there's any doubt, I've got the numbers to prove it.

Data varies, but the average person sees between 5,000 and 10,000 advertisements a day. That's up as much as 9,900% from when I was growing up, when that figure was less than 100.

We've been led to believe, or – dare I say "sold on the idea" – that the multitasking enabled by so much information is good for us. We're supposed to be better surgeons, better thinkers, better pilots, better people – heck – better everything because of the connected world.

The ongoing trade war with China is a perfect example...
