This Crypto Coin Could Deliver 5,000% in One Trade (and It's Not Bitcoin)

by

According to Vanguard's chief economist, there's a "decent probability" that Bitcoin will actually fall to zero.

But here's the problem…

These "experts" and "analysts" in the mainstream media have been pushing this nonsense ever since cryptocurrencies really exploded in the market.

Remember when JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin a "fraud that he'd never trade" back in December?

It wasn't too long after that he changed his tune – and now regrets making that statement at all.

So let's be honest…

Anyone claiming that the the so-called "bubble" is bursting is completely missing the target.

And if you listen to them, you could miss out on the biggest profit opportunity of the year.

Here's why...

What's Next and Why a Little Perspective Will Be Very Profitable

by

I've been involved in several high-intensity meetings in the past few days, as you might imagine, because the selling probably isn't over.

Normally, I'd be very concerned – but in this case I'm not – because the onslaught is entirely driven by technical trading, as opposed to the more important underlying fundamental picture that leads to clear, sustainable profits over time.

Still, you've probably got a number of questions on your mind...

D. R. Live (and Unauthorized) at the Black Diamond Conference

by

I just returned from the elite and rather secretive Black Diamond Conference in Florida, where I gave a seminar called "Extreme Trading Live"… alongside trading legends like Shah Gilani, Tom Gentile, and Chris Johnson.

It was so secret, not even my editors were allowed to attend.

Some parts of the conference were officially taped, and my Stealth Profits Traders and 10-Minute Millionaire Pro subscribers should have their hands on a copy of those recordings soon.

But what I didn't reckon on was a rogue promotions director with a cellphone camera...

The Fed Just Stabbed Its "Silent Partners" in the Back, and You're Next

by

I've gone into detail elsewhere about the Fed's "silent partners," the primary dealers – big banks that have special status to act as intermediaries in the market where the U.S. government sells debt to raise funding for government activities. This is the government securities market, commonly known as the Treasury market.

The primary dealers are the conduits through which the Fed executes monetary policy. They're very loyal friends to the Fed and the U.S. Treasury, and they talk to them all day long.

Well, no good deed goes unpunished…

Right now, the primary dealers are in big trouble (thanks to a dastardly move on the part of the Fed).

And that means you (specifically, your portfolio) are in trouble too.

Here's what's happening and how to protect yourself...

Three Big Things You Missed at Black Diamond and What's Coming Next

by

I just returned from the first-ever Black Diamond Summit in Delray Beach, Fla., and wanted to give a heartfelt "thank you" to all who attended.

From the cheers I received when I was introduced to the stage to the poolside cocktail reception, both my wife and I were absolutely humbled by all of the amazing stories you shared about how trading has changed your life.

And that wasn't even the half of it...

Why Monday's Solar Tariffs Will Hurt U.S. Companies and Workers

by

Years ago, during one of my stints advising a foreign government on their energy policy, I had to contend with a rather obstinate official intent on a single solution for his country's economic woes.

This jolly little fellow insisted that relying only on domestic production would benefit both an episodic unemployment problem and jump-start local factories.

In short, high protective tariff walls were the answer.

Now, I must always be careful in such situations…

If, on the one hand, I provide advice that turns out to improve the situation, usually that just advances the political prospects of the minister who steals the idea.

On the other hand, if my advice causes problems (usually because it's not correctly administered), there's the risk that the locals will read newspaper headlines proclaiming that an American advisor has just ruined their children's future.

Still, protective tariffs are rarely the answer to economic difficulties. They increase internal prices and inefficiency by depriving the market of an essential ingredient…

Outside competition.

My experience has always been that this sort of give and take – someone suggesting tariffs, me showing them in great detail why that'll just come back to bite them – plays out only in developing countries.

Until today...

The One Thing Keeping Solar and Wind from Taking Over

by

Whether you like it or not, the move toward renewable power is a certainty in the energy sector.

But as we've discussed here before, there are significant impediments to a continued and robust adoption of renewable energy.

The primary roadblock is cost – but not in the way you might think…

The expenses involved in generating solar and wind power have actually declined significantly over the past several years.

Additionally, these days we're talking more about "grid parity" – when renewables match the cost of generating and putting electricity on the wider grid.

In many parts of the United States, solar and wind have improved to a point where they cost about the same as more traditional sources of power.

As loyal readers saw last September, this improvement has resulted in solar reaching a federal milestone much earlier than expected.

But the issue hardly ends there...
