Outrageous Profit Potential from Three of the World's Worst Companies

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - October 20, 2016

My Favorite Trading Strategy for the "Super Crash"

By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - October 29, 2015

prices going down

A lot of folks - especially individual investors - don't like to bet on stocks that are going down. That's understandable. It doesn't feel as good to bet against something.

But it would be prudent for investors to hedge their gains of the last five years; trees don't grow to the sky, especially when their roots are rotting.

This could help you do very well as stocks dive lower. Especially if you know how to use this trading strategy...

Morgan Stanley Analysts Join Us on the GoPro Stock Bandwagon

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - October 9, 2015

Go pro

On Tuesday, Morgan Stanley analysts cut their target price for GoPro stock. Millions of investors were surprised, and the stock got shellacked.

GoPro is a worse value trap now than ever, and any investor who gets sucked in now is playing with fire.

I know the temptation is to buy, but hold your ground. The company has always been on the "cusp of something great," and it's never delivered.

At best, GoPro stock is worth $15 and, even then, probably only as an acquisition for a bigger player keen to absorb GoPro technology. Here's why...

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - June 12, 2015

The bond market crash in Europe is inevitable, which means that banks and financial institutions will tumble too. There's not a better opportunity to make money short-selling.

You could walk away with a bundles of cash.

Here's how to play the falling bond prices overseas...

How Did George Soros Break the Bank of England?

By Abby Higgs, Staff Writer, Money Morning - June 10, 2015

How did George Soros break the Bank of England

How did George Soros break the Bank of England? How did he predict the downfall of the pound? Was he an investing genius or an evil money-hungry cash pirate?

For those of you don't even know the story, then that's up to you to decide. But one thing's for sure: On Sept. 16, 1992, he gave the Bank of England a run for their money.

One that took them years to get it back. Here's how Soros broke the Bank of England and walked (actually ran) away with 1 billion dollars...

Shorting a Stock: A Step-By-Step Guide

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - May 18, 2015

panicked selling

Shorting a stock involves selling borrowed shares, buying them back at a later date, and returning them to the borrower.

A successful short seller will make a profit if they are able to buy back the borrowed shares at a price lower than what they initially sold it.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to short a stock...

Three Iconic Stocks to Short

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - March 23, 2015

stocks

Today we've got three iconic stocks to short that aren't identifiable to everyone. Because there's only one reliable metric investors can use to recognize these seemingly pristine companies.

And our timing couldn't be better, since corporate profit growth is about to go negative and fears of another recession mount.

Here are the lucrative picks to profit from and why most investors are missing them...

How to Profit from the Five Scariest Stocks on Wall Street Right Now

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - January 23, 2015

how to profit

Most investors focus exclusively on buying stocks in an attempt to capture huge returns. That's too bad, because it means they restrict themselves to half the opportunities available to them.

I bring this up because markets move up AND down, which means there is plenty of profit potential to be had in both directions.

George Soros, for instance, is reported to have made $1 billion in a single trade that famously almost broke the Bank of England in 1992.

John Paulson made billions from the housing crisis when it hit by betting against the grain.

Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners is famous for bucking conventional wisdom on seemingly mighty companies and laughing all the way to the bank.

That's why shorting is one of the first tactics I shared with you in my Total Wealth publication.

Obviously, shorting stocks isn't for everybody - it takes a lot of guts and more than a little conviction to do it profitably. Not to mention a whole lot of discipline. But done right, it can really boost your profits.

Here's how to profit from the scariest stocks on Wall Street - without owning them...

Short Selling in 2015: Three Companies to Target

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - January 20, 2015

short selling

We may still be in a bull market, but the ground is becoming more fertile for short selling.

At some point, the market is going to catch on as to why the markets have been surging so high for so long - years of money-printing by the world's central banks. That means now is a great time to look for short selling candidates.

And here are three stocks ripe for short selling right now...

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - September 30, 2014

short selling

The mantra of "buy low, sell high" works for going long - but investors can make money from both sides of the trade if they understand these tips for short selling.

Even in today's five-year bull market you can be rewarded handsomely through short selling. You can do this with currencies, exchange-traded funds, equities, and just about any asset.
