Dear Fellow Expat: I’d prepared a screed on our Department of Energy. The incompetence at the top. The mismanagement of oil output in America. And how we’ll probably screw up what might be the largest global lithium deposit discovery. But that must wait until tomorrow. There’s something FAR more important… RIGHT NOW… As you know, […]

Tales from Nextdoor and the Naples “Mom Page”
Dear Fellow Expat: Nextdoor.com is a social media site allowing neighbors to discuss all things local… Restaurant reviews, updates about loose dogs, requests for handymen, gardening tips, and – of course – rants and insults over politics. One of the nice things about Nextdoor is the lack of anonymous accounts. People must speak under their […]
Take A "Fantasy Break" and Make Some Actual Money This Weekend
Dear Fellow Expat: Psst… I know football season has started. I know your team's defense is "offensive"… And if you're like millions of Americans who play fantasy football, you already want to drop nearly every player on your team after Week 1. I played fantasy football in my early 20s with a religious fervor. I […]
The Worst Trade I Ever Made in My Life
Dear Fellow Expat, It’s the first day of another negative momentum cycle. So, greetings from Lansdowne Pub. It’s a Boston-themed (BOO!) sports pub with pictures of Red Sox memorabilia on the wall, enough “handsome” pictures of Tom Brady to launch 1,000 ships to Tampa, and a large, drunken moose on every menu. It’s the closest […]
Can I Interest You In Some (Market) Insurance?
The Florida Republic is in the business of insurance. Stock market insurance. We literally give it away for free every single day with our Equity Momentum reading. When it’s green, you’re clear.

Free Insurance on a Burning House and Crushed SUV
Dear Fellow Expat, What would you do with $700 right now? Would you rent a hotel for two days in a nearby city? Maybe attend a special dinner with a friend or loved one? Pay down debt? Well, in my case, a bill arrived yesterday for six months of car insurance. We put up about […]
The Stocks I'm Watching as Florida's "Season" Begins
Dear Fellow Expat, In the shadows of the Florida night, a disturbing presence – unnoticed by most slithered down U.S. Route 41 – Tamiami Trail. This was no ordinary vehicle; it was a monstrous, steel Goliath. This unholy contraption carved asphalt arteries with an insatiable hunger, eager to bring terror to an unsuspecting beach town. […]
Why This Massive Insider Buy Is Worth Watching
As I’ve explained, insider buying is one of the most powerful indicators in the financial markets. Insider buying is when an executive buys their own stock with their own cash. They put their own money down and file an SEC Form 4 document. Many people love to buy the same stocks as the insiders – […]
Insider Buying: How to Make a Good Thing Even Better
Dear Fellow Expat, “If our daughter is anything like you when she’s sick,” my wife said, “I’m gonna lose it.” Yes… I’m a bad patient when I get ill. I bounce back quickly, but my “sick-to-better” process is a sharp V-shaped recovery, where the dip in the V stretches to the bottom of this page. Last night, my daughter […]
A Religious Revival Aboard Southwest Flight 2578
Dear Fellow Expat, Southwest Airlines (LUV) flights from Baltimore to Ft. Myers offer the wildest religious experiences you could witness. You’ll become a believer… During preboarding on these Southwest flights, between 20 to 25 (largely retiree) passengers sit in wheelchairs and wait to board along the wall. Before general boarding, gate agents wheel pre-boarders down the […]
