How to "Bake" a 61% Advantage into Your Investing

I must be throwing off a strong "dad vibe" these days. And that's got me thinking maybe my chance conversations with a number of young adults lately is a sign of the times.

As I've been going about my daily routines, I've run into a lot of young adults my daughters' age who want to get invested but have no clue how to do so. They have income, but they don't know where to start.

For instance, once, while skiing at the Kirkwood Mountain Resort near Lake Tahoe, I chatted with three young adults who jumped at the chance to get my advice about investing.

I told them about a surefire way to make the market work for them as though I were talking to my own daughters.

I'll share it with everyone today – this strategy is good for new investors and old pros, and it's particularly effective for folks who've been reluctant to jump in to such a volatile market.

I'll name a "starter" investment, of course – one I always recommend for young folks to get them on the right track – plus three other tech-centric ways to jumpstart your investing today.

This will get you into the markets, absolutely, but as you'll see in a minute, you'll enjoy a double-digit edge that will make other investors green with envy...

These Long Picks Should Soar as the Rally Takes Hold

I feel like I'm trapped in a never-ending nightmare installment of "Deal or No Deal" right now. And I bet you feel the same way.

On Friday, traders were biting like trout; market vibes were upbeat on word of a "partial deal." But then, Chinese government media outlets said, not in so many words, "Whoah – don't break out the champagne just yet!"

So the Chinese have thrown cold water on things, but the administration's still calling this "phase one" of a deal.

I watched Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on CNBC yesterday morning talking about the deal. Questions were coming left and right… and Mnuchin was dodging right and left. It's clear there are a lot of details still to be ironed out, and no one in the White House feels like talking about them.

But still, most of the pieces are in place for a decent run higher, maybe even back to all-time highs. When we see stocks and volatility hit the levels I'm going to show you, we'll know that a respectable bull run is underway.

What the "FANGs" Predict Is Next for Tech Stocks

On June 9, the technology sector experienced its first significant one-day sell-off – and the financial news networks went crazy. Some of the so-called financial experts even said it's time to get rid of all tech stocks in your portfolio.

But on Tuesday, the sector rallied more than 1%, driving the Dow and S&P 500 to new record highs. And this time, all of those "experts" were saying it's now the perfect opportunity to buy tech stocks.

Now, these are the type of contradictions in the financial press that can be both confusing and detrimental to your portfolio.
