    Three Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor for a Bear Market

    Wall Street

    By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

    Just last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite had undergone a peak-to-valley pullback of 30% since mid-February.

    That's nearly a third off the highs from only 30 trading days ago.

    And it's a fast drop that's affecting just about everyone's bank account.

    Sure, stocks have risen since then.

    But we could still go down from here... even further than we already have.

    Friends of mine are starting to call their 401(k)s 201(k)s - and they're all asking me the same thing: What will I do now?

Wall Street

And it's a fast drop that's affecting just about everyone's bank account.

Sure, stocks have risen since then.

Why Bill Ackman Is Still Buying Stocks Even Though "Hell Is Coming"

By , Money Morning -

Shortly after legendary fund manger Bill Ackman gave an emotional, half hour interview about the fate of the American economy on CNBC yesterday, stocks fell so hard and fast trading was halted.

If you listened to what he said, the market's response wasn't a mystery.

He said the crisis was so bad that "America will end as we know it" and "hell is coming."

Restaurants, hotels, and airlines will all go out of business, according to Ackman.

He says shares of Hilton Hotels (NYSE: HLT) will drop to $0 in the next 18 months if nothing is done.

But Ackman's doomsday predictions might've made him a lot of money yesterday.

It was all by design.

While everyone ran for the door, those who read between the lines followed his lead...

The 3 Stocks to Sell Before the Coronavirus Correction Gets Worse

By , Money Morning -

The stock market is officially in correction territory, but for three stocks the bleeding is going to get much worse.

Now, we're not advocating you sell your entire portfolio and sit on cash. That could end up costing you even more money.

Why the E-Trade Merger Is a Bad Deal for Investors Like You

By , Money Morning -

We're always skeptical when Wall Street takes away your choices.

They are only doing it to make more money from you and that is exactly what we see happening with Morgan Stanley's (NYSE: MS) acquisition of E-Trade Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: ETFC).

As their new client, you will be part of a new revenue generation stream that goes beyond simple brokerage commissions.

Here's what to look out for to protect your money when Wall Street wants even more of it...

Warren Buffett Has a Blind Spot for These 3 Dividend Stocks

By , Money Morning -

When interest rates are as low as they are right now, currently under 2%, investors have to turn to stocks to find higher yields.

But according to Warren Buffett, chair of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., chasing after yield with risky or exotic investments is, well, just plain stupid.

While the Oracle of Omaha hits the nail on the head most of the time, we think he's a little short of the mark here.

Today, well show you why Buffett doesn't follow his own advice, including three dividend stocks that can offer you healthy yield and upside potential...

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Worried about coronavirus chaos?

You're not alone. In fact, there are millions of investors in your corner.

Including me.

I cannot recall a scarier set of circumstances in the 37 years I've been active in global markets.

You're being bombarded with scary headlines, crazy conspiracy theories, and a sea of red ink from people keen to sell you the next hot stocks. It's a media blitz of unprecedented equal.

Thing is... doom is never the answer.

Getting back to basics is.

That's why I want to share the only "back to basics" technique I know of that's never failed to produce huge profits over time.

Here's how to cut through the hysteria and line up big profits at the same time...

These Four Valentine's Trades Are the Best Gift You Could Give

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

Ah, Valentine's Day. A day filled with chocolate hearts, romantic comedies, and dinners at your favorite special-occasion restaurants...

Or, as some see it, a corporate- and Hallmark-spun fraud of a day created with nothing but money in mind.

I tend to agree with the latter - but I don't say it with the bitterness that you typically hear behind the words.

Instead, I say it with optimism and excitement. Because there's an opportunity at hand...

This year, Valentine's Day spending is expected to be 32% higher than last year, making for the highest sales number in history.

The record-breaking number will have retailers swimming in profit. And if you know how to play it, you'll be enjoying some extra cash of your own.

Even if you've always been against tomorrow's holiday, now you have a reason to celebrate.

Capitalize on the retail rush with these four Valentine's trades...

This 5G REIT Is the Key to the $1.3 Trillion Rollout

By , Money Morning -

5G is the most important tech development of the new decade.

And like any other technological breakthrough, it's an opportunity to cash in.

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) released a study on 5G in 2017 showing it could create as much as $1.3 trillion in extra revenue for companies by 2026.

This 5G REIT is going to be the backbone of the 5G expansion, and it pays shareholders a handsome dividend...

The One Play I'm Making in This Range-Driven Market

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning -

The fast-moving rally that swept stocks higher last week took the S&P 500 and the other benchmarks right back to their respective highs.

Well, all the indexes except one important one: the Russell 2000 Index.

Last week's rally was not led by the small caps. It was led by the large-cap tech stock names that have become almost "safety trades" due to their popularity.

This all means the market is not likely to surge back into new high territory. Instead, I expect a fall into a trading range environment.

So far, the indication is that February will continue seeing a range-driven market.

Of course, we can make a lot of money in a range!

3 Surprise Stocks Amazon Could Put Out of Business

By , Money Morning -

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that everyone knows that Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a true juggernaut.

From its humble beginnings as an online bookseller, it now commands a retail, cloud, logistics and content empire that many say single-handedly put shopping malls out of business.

That means Amazon isn't just one of the biggest companies in the world, it's also its biggest disrupter.

Legacy companies trying to compete with Amazon are living on borrowed time.

Here are three that are already at risk...
