I have misgivings about Wall Street. Their short-term trading distorts the energy markets, almost beyond recognition.
Indeed, the past year has shown clearly how disastrous such speculation can be. But there is a way to remedy this situation: You.

There's nothing like a market swoon when it comes to unleashing the most damaging of all investor behaviors - emotional decision-making.

While half the trick of investing is figuring out what the consensus thinks, the wisdom of crowds is a myth when it comes to the markets.
Case in point, Valeant Pharmaceuticals has cratered since October 2015, but many investors cling to the belief that the company's problems will be solved.
Some hedge funds have (or had until the stock collapsed) as much as 20% to 30% of their capital in the company, which is extraordinarily reckless.
But it's all in the numbers. The masses are missing these figures, but you don't have to...

Buying "what you know" used to be a fundamental underpinning of investment success. Now, it's a recipe for disaster.
As the performance of this gun stock shows, true investing success is all about "knowing" the real numbers.

There's no point in spending your money on a trade if you don't know how well a company is doing. And just because a company may seem like it's "too big to fail" doesn't mean it can't.
No matter how large and popular a business may seem, it simply cannot survive if its growth is dwindling or stagnant.

We've just come across a stock market crash chart that signals a serious warning to investors around the world.
"Warnings are starting to flash all over,"Money MorningCapital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani says. "The predominant sentiment these days is uncertainty. The markets are nervous. Very nervous."

Convinced that the bull market is over, many investors are selling out and heading for the sidelines using even the slightest market drop as justification for their actions.
I can't think of a worse mistake. No investor need fear a bear market - there are all kinds of ways to run flat or down markets to your advantage if you are properly prepared.
I want to show you how to buy more stock without spending more money.

For most investors, the relationship between investing and profits seems simple enough. You buy low, sell high, and your portfolio grows - or so goes the story.
In reality, success ultimately comes down to defeating Wall Street's secret weapon: something called "Gambler's Ruin."
Understanding what it is and how to beat it will give you an edge other investors would pay dearly to have. Not one in 250,000 understands it.

Understanding this stock market sell-off may sound little more than academic at this point. Who cares why something happened? You want to know what to do now.
But you can't go on the offensive - you can't make the right moves - without first understanding the sell-off.

The bear market deepened last week as investors sold everything that wasn't tied down that had the faintest tinge of risk associated with it - stocks, commodities, junk bonds, you-name-it.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 358 points or 2.2% to close below 16,000 at 15,988.08 while the S&P 500 fell 42 points or 2.17% to close under 1900 at 1880.33.
But losses could get even steeper from here...
