How to Profit from a $16.2 Billion Luxury Loser

By , Money Morning - • Print | Email

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

For a few weeks now, the market has been buzzing about the "inevitable" acquisition of luxury brand Tiffany & Co. by Bernard Arnault's luxury juggernaut LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE.

To hear the media talk about it, it was a done deal – a dead certainty. Nothing could stop it. The $16.2 billion deal would have been the biggest acquisition in the high-flying luxury sector's history.

Joseph Papa, the CEO of Bausch Health Cos. Inc., was hired in 2016 to help turn the pharmaceutical company around.

Instead, he is breaking it up. But he's not crazy.

He's caught on to the fact that bigger isn't always better.

You see, Bausch Health and its subsidiary, Bausch + Lomb eye care, are two great companies… but together, they aren't exactly chocolate and peanut butter.

Papa has realized that the only thing worse than no partnership at all is a bad partnership. So he's letting Bausch + Lomb become its own $3.1 billion business.

And while I applaud the move, I think that there's an even better way to cash in on corporate spinoffs like this one.

That's because Joseph Papa's move is part of a massive trend that will be extremely profitable for investors… Full Story

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - • Print | Email

This week, over the span of just 24 hours, we saw a market rally of nearly 1,170 points followed by a sharp decline of 900.

The market moved back and forth a total of 3,253 points in just the first three days of the week. Treasury yields sank to record lows as these wild swings continued.

And you better hang on to your hats because this market whipsawing isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Now, if you were following along last week, I told you to make sure you keep those trailing stops nice and tight. I do realize that some of you are all stopped out and wondering, "What's next?"

Or, more specifically, "Is it time to buy?" and "What do I buy?"

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - • Print | Email

GlaxoSmithKline doesn't appear to be a top pharmaceutical stock to buy – at least not at first glance.

Its shares have underperformed the global pharma sector by 60% over the past decade.

But since Glaxo got a new CEO in 2017, the company has been on the path to a leaner, more focused company.

And with a high Money Morning Stock VQScore™, GSK is looking very attractive indeed.
