Four Different Ways You Can Use Your Biggest Advantage Over Wall Street

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

The year 2020 is finally upon us.

The 2010s were a fantastic decade that delivered all sorts of surprises, including some surprising election results, undreamed of technological breakthroughs, and miraculous medical advances.

It was an excellent decade for investors, as well.

No one is sure what the 2020s might hold for us, but if you look at what worked in the 2000s as well as the 2010s, you can get a good idea of what we need to do to get rich over the next decade.

Let's get started...

How to Avoid Wall Street's Latest Attack on Your Wallet

By , Money Morning -

On the surface, it seems great that Wall Street is finally paying real attention to average investors.

For years, it was a poorly kept secret that big firms, like Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS), focused their efforts on catering to the rich.

After all, a commission or advisory fee on a $100,000 portfolio is peanuts compared to that of a $100 million portfolio.

But now, Wall Street is starting to like those peanuts.

Here’s why investors should be skeptical of Wall Street’s generosity…

The Most Profitable Trend to Watch in the Market Right Now

By , Behavioral Trading Specialist, Money Morning -

I’m being patient and paying very close attention to a single group of investors.

I’m not listening to price targets from Wall Street analysts.

I’m not turning on CNBC to hear what a money manager is doing with his money.

Instead, I’m looking at companies that have one distinct signal.

And I’m not talking about moving averages or technical indicators either.

I’m simply talking about what the people who know their companies best are trading.

A 437.93% Advantage – Practically No Matter What the Markets Do Next

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

Achieving higher returns is easier than you think.

All you need is the right portfolio structure.

There's no question that having the right stock picks is important, which is why we talk about those frequently - but that's only part of the proverbial equation.

Folks who blindly leap from stock to stock, for example, are in for a rude awakening, even if they're investing in the big winners like Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc., Apple Inc., and/or Raytheon Co. that we've covered together.

That's because the risk associated with their money changes.

Sadly, most folks are completely blind to the potential, so they leave a lot of money on the table that could be - rather bluntly - in their pockets. Heck, in your pockets.

As always, I've got a recommendation for you that makes an ideal cornerstone investment for any investor interested in both the truth and higher returns.

Stop leaving money on the table today...

You Need Only 30 Minutes Every Day to Make More Money

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

Compared to a full work day of 8, 10, or even 12 hours long, half an hour is really not all that much.

But thirty minutes every day could make you a healthy return of investments.

I always say that to be successful in investing, you cannot follow the "trend of the day" as everyone else fails out there.

Instead, when you find very simple strategies that you can repeat every day, you'll have much more consistent gains for your portfolio.

I've developed one habit which seems at first not just bizarre but totally unnecessary, yet it's helped put me at the top of the markets with a perfect track record.

To make extraordinary gains like that, you have to do something out of the ordinary.

It's my success routine that no one else does, but it's so simple if you can make it a daily habit.

What I do for a few minutes every day can make you money, lots of money...

These Used to Be the Hottest Companies on the Market; Now They Don't Exist

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

While everyone wants to own the next Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) or Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), it's easy to forget about the investors who sunk money into overhyped clunkers.

You see, even the most promising companies can run out of steam over time, burning overconfident shareholders and leaving investors holding the bill.

But you can avoid this fate by owning time-tested profit machines...
