TV Is Dead, Long Live Connected TV (Part 3): Digital First TV

by

Streaming services have experienced rapid growth in adoption over the last 5 years.

And while almost 80% of U.S.

households have some form of device for streaming video and subscribe to a streaming service, many of them still pay for access to cable.

A big part of this is that sports and news content have been a key driver for cable operators.

Most streaming subscription services have chosen to focus only on entertainment offerings.

While traditional TV has suffered at the hands of newer services like Netflix, Hulu and HBO, some people will never stop watching TV in that fashion.

Take Huge Profits from the Markets' "Digital Moonshot"

by

I've always said it and always will: The road to wealth is paved with tech.

If you've been with me for a while, you've made some lucrative "stops" along the road; nanotechnology, 3-D printing, pharmaceuticals, genetics – just to name a few.

Right now, the road is heading straight toward the "Cloud" – distributed computing.

As we speak, the Cloud is in the midst of revolutionizing virtually the entire economy. Before long, the Cloud will be a player in all of our lives, changing them for the better.

Right now, the Cloud is transforming the stock market itself, offering us one of the most impressive profit catalysts I've ever seen.

My Favorite Medieval Italian Guy Likes These Stocks Now

by

As I predicted last month, September's been a volatile, "down" month. In fact, the big indexes are on pace to turn in the worst September results since 2011.

But, like always, there are some juicy opportunities in all that volatility. Volatility's always a trader's dream, because a stock's got to move – up or down – for us to make money. The more the price moves, the better.

Right now, I'm going to show you an old – as in, 800 years old – method you can use to spot stocks that are about to move, and how to work out how far they're likely to go.

That's not only a huge factor in spotting stocks you might like to buy and hold at a good price, but it can also help you find when and where to move in your trading…

How to Profit from a $16.2 Billion Luxury Loser

by

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.

Of course I say "would have," because it all just fell apart. The sound of corporate wedding bells has been replaced by the shouts of corporate lawyers.

But if you make this easy move, you'll hear the sweet sound of a ringing cash register… Full Story

How to Play the Six Most Important Stocks Right Now

by

Just last week, I showed you how the markets and the six mega-cap stocks driving them higher, were getting a bit ahead of themselves.

I don't want to be the "I told you so" guy, but… well… I'm a positive guy; positivity is a good thing, but when positivity is all there is – watch out.

Since we last spoke, the S&P 500 has shed 5%, the Dow 4%, and the mighty Nasdaq Composite – the record-smashing star performer of summer 2020 – has tanked nearly 10%.

"The bigger they are," right?

Even more than the broader S&P 500, the Nasdaq and the six 800-pound gorillas that run the show there require our immediate attention.

by

When investors hear the phrase, “XYZ Company is at 52-week highs,” many misunderstand and think it’s a caution that the stock can’t go any higher.
