How to Invest During the Post-COVID Return to Normal

I'm really relieved to see the first signs of the slowing of the coronavirus in Europe.

And in the U.S., confirmed cases and deaths from the virus are growing more slowly.

Many science and medical experts say that the social distancing measures are starting to work.

And that brings us to today's Reality Gap.

Big Media hails the slowing growth as a reason the market has been up the last two days - and that seems to be quite true.

I'm finding that adding insider data to our stable of numbers-driven market strategies really boosts returns, and more importantly, it does so by avoiding potential problems.

While insider buying does magnify gains somewhat overall, where portfolio returns go into the stratosphere is using insider selling to cancel signals that would otherwise be a buy.

This helps us avoid the big mistakes and keeps the focus of the portfolio on those companies where insiders have been buying.

The results from this combination create a portfolio that's a laser-focused rocket ship to big profits...
