Make Sure You're Using This Free, Simple Profit Protector

by

While the S&P 500 has moved back above 3,000 for the first time since late February and many investors are enjoying the long-side profits, it's important to remember that you shouldn't rush in unprotected.

Especially investors who now have even bigger portfolios to defend.

You see, the market could turn vicious in a heartbeat.

On the one hand there are the economics risks of the coronavirus and on the other, the "money migration" that was sparked by that same technical breakout above 3,000 is also a signal that we could walk into an overextended, "overbought" situation in the market.

That means hedging is more important than ever.

But there's another hedging move that's even easier - and it won't cost you a dime...

How to Navigate the Four Corners of This Coronavirus-Driven Market

by

The last time I spoke with you folks, I told you about three different things that you could do – and that I'm definitely doing myself – in the midst of a world crisis like the coronavirus:

1. Risk less – around the office we have a saying, "Trade small, trade often," and there's a reason for that. Trade small basically means small risk, but also, trading often means we're able to diversify ourselves into many different things, both bullish and bearish.

2. Look for things that go up in a down market.

3. Exploit volatility when it comes to options – boy, have we got volatility here now.

Now, I wanted to take a few minutes with you to show you how I assess these markets.

I divide the overall market into four grids because wherever the overall market is going, chances are, your portfolio's being affected in one way or another. Specifically, I watch four key areas – the "four corners of the market" – to tell me what's going on, and the right action to take… Full Story

Brace for a Stock Market Crash as Politicians Sour on Share Buybacks

by

Threats to share buybacks are likely to trigger a stock market crash within the next two to three years.

Some candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination are even calling for an outright ban.

But few realize just how dependent the market has become on stock buybacks.

Much of the gains of the bull market are due to buybacks – and we have the proof.

These figures are nothing short of astonishing...

The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Making Triple the Profits in a Downturn

by

Stocks lurched lower yesterday as nervous investors digested an errant Trump tweet that threatened to blow up U.S.-China trade talks.

Those folks are losing sight of the fact that we're in a different, more dangerous fever swamp altogether – the Fed's "great experiment," cheap-money fever swamp. It's a bizarre place where it's perfectly normal for markets to tank by double digits in one quarter and soar by double digits the next after an announced rate-hike "pause."

Yes, cheap money is a hell of a drug.

Case in point: More than 20% of today's stock "buyers" are actually companies drinking their own cheaply financed, poisoned Kool-Aid.

Expect the resulting $270-plus billion in stock buybacks expected this quarter to push this "most hated of all bull markets" higher… because there certainly isn't a business case for going higher.

As stocks rise, investors are bailing out of equities, where some $132 billion recently left global stock mutual funds for the dangerously deceptive green pastures of the bond market.

Those "green pastures" are now the home of around $1.3 billion worth of horrible "leveraged loans," packing appallingly weak loan documents and egregious terms. These loans threaten to see hordes of bond holders ripped off; they'll be lucky to recover maybe $0.40 for every $1 of bad account they've bought into.

The situation is so dicey that right now, as I write this, teams at Guggenheim and Blackstone's GSO Credit are furiously combing through these horrific bonds in an effort to create their own internal rating system; they're bracing for a tipping point in the equally absurd bond market.

But that's the new normal for you.

And today, I'm going to show you how to get ready for the next normal, when the Fed's cheap-money party ends and markets enter free fall.

If you're ready when this happens, you'll find just as much - if not more - profit opportunity around every corner...

How to Profit from Stock Market Volatility

by

Stock market volatility is often looked at as Wall Street's fear gauge. When volatility rises, especially during a historic bull market run, it's a potential sign investors are turning bearish.

But you don't have to join in Wall Street's fear when market volatility rises. It can actually be a hugely profitable opportunity.

And the strategy we're talking about isn't quite what you think...
