Precious Metals are a Waste of Your Capital, Invest in These Banks Instead

There was a running theme this week in the stocks you sent me: metals.

Gold, silver… precious metals that everyone expected to pop with the war in Ukraine raging on – but that’s not what’s happening. Frankly, GLD, GDX, and SLV are a waste of your capital right now. There may be a little bit more upside to each, so put your trailing stops in place, take your profits, and get out.

There are better places to put your money, including an ETF trade and a few of my favorite banks.

Don’t Buy Increasing Predictions of a Recession: Do This Instead

More analysts, economists, and former Federal Reserve officials are predicting a recession – one that will stagger the U.S. economy. That’s frightening investors into selling profitable positions and going to the sidelines.

I say they’re wrong, and getting out of the market now is a mistake, and I’m telling you why in today’s edition of Total Wealth.

Read on to learn just what these recession hawks are saying, why they’re saying it, what the reality is, and how to trade recession fears.

Buy a Slice of this $300 Tech Stock at Any Price

This company is one of my favorites. It’s a mega cap company with a capitalization over $2 trillion. Its revenue on a trailing-twelve-month basis is $185 billion. Its profit margin is 38.5%… and it’s still growing. There is no reason …

The Fractional Shares Revolution

Let me tell you: My first job on Wall Street was with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) in the early 1980s – just before the start of the great bull market… So I’ve been doing this for a very …

Use this Strategy to Reap 100% Profits as These Two Stocks Drop

I said it once; I’ll say it again: inflation has not reached its peak.

While some investors and traders are piling back into the stock market – misguided by news claiming that March’s sky-high inflation measures were as bad as inflation would get – veteran companies watching the markets won’t be so reckless.

That’s one of the reasons I’m watching The Coca-Cola Company (KO).

The company will report Q1/2022 results on April 25. As we get closer to that date, the stock has been in an almost perfect upward trend, gaining 14% since March 10, 2022.

For the quarter, analysts expect Coca-Cola to report revenue and earnings of $9.82 billion and $0.58 per share, which would represent year-over-year increases of 8.9% and 5.45%, respectively.

Based on the company’s history, I expect it will beat estimates.

But, I’m focused on forward guidance and whether or not the company believes it can pass along higher input costs to the consumer.

I think the company will err on the side of caution and tamp down forward guidance in the face of inflation that’s running very hot.

And I think that could cause a pause in the recent rally – and present us with our next play.

The Latest in Fake News: Inflation Has Peaked

On Tuesday, when the March reading of the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) came out hot, but a tad less than jacked up expectations, stocks rallied. On Wednesday, when the Producer Price Index (PPI) came out hotter than hot, stocks …

Plant Your Love and Let It Grow with this Fertilizer Stock

Fertilizer prices are through the roof.

According to the USDA, over the past year, urea, liquid nitrogen, and anhydrous ammonia (three kinds of commonly fertilizers) grew 149%, 192%, and 235%, respectively. For farmers worldwide, this unexpected consequence of the Russia-Ukraine War has a steep cost – but they will pay it.

Why? Because they have no other choice. They need it and, as a result, fertilizer companies are hitting it out of the park, especially the one I am recommending in today’s video.

Don’t Fall for Fake News About the Inverted Yield Curve

Claims that we’re 100% heading into a recession (because the never-wrong inverted yield curve says so) are fake news. This time the recession indicator is wrong.

The yield curve is a simple concept. It shows graphically what different maturity bonds pay investors in terms of the yield (or interest rate) they pay.

Super short maturity instruments, like the fed funds rate (the interest rate banks charge each other when they lend money), yield very little because the loan is only overnight. The risk of default in a day is infinitesimally small. The yield on a 6-month T-Bill would be higher due to investors lending money to the government for 6-months also wanting more interest. The yield on a 2-year Treasury note would be higher because of the longer maturity of the loan. The 10-year yield would be higher still. And so on, out to 30-year bonds.

When graphed, these yields typically slope upwards like the Treasury yield curve shown below.

Over the past 30-days, the yield curve (as measured by 2s and 10s) has inverted a couple of times. At some points, this inversion was only by a few points or a few tenths of a percent, but an inversion nonetheless.

And this is concerning to some because, historically, whenever the curve inverts (even by a tiny amount), a recession follows. That’s what’s making headlines now.

The graph below shows the spread between 2s and 10s in the blue line. Whenever the spread goes negative, a recession (the gray longitudinal bars) occurs. So, it’s been a pretty good indicator so far.

China is ‘Uninvestable’? Not When This Tech Stock Has a 100% Profit Potential

Last year, some analysts condemned Chinese stocks listed on U.S. exchanges as ‘uninvestible.’ But I didn’t buy that claim. Yes, Chinese regulators had sent a clear message to those companies: You can’t do anything we don’t want you to do. …

Ride High on These Three Chinese Stocks As Retail Drives Them Higher

It has been two years since then-U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to hold foreign companies accountable, demanding audited financials from all companies listed on U.S. exchanges – including the Chinese ones which, until then, didn’t have to submit audited financial and never did.

The response to this policy became a “cold war” fought on the front-lines of securities trading. High-quality stocks like BABA, DIDI, and NIO, some of my favorites to come out of China, were beaten down. IPOs were postponed. But, regardless of Chinese Central Government’s retaliation, the deadline was set.

All non-compliant businesses would be removed from the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq by 2024 – and it seems that Chinese authorities have started to give in.

On Friday, investors learned that they are preparing to give U.S. regulators full access to auditing reports of the majority of the 200-plus companies listed in New York, as soon as this Summer.

There’s no way of knowing how serious Chinese authorities are, regarding the matter, but that didn’t stopped traders from driving shares of Chinese stocks higher in Friday’s session.

Given the fact that Chinese stocks have been significantly beaten down over the last 18 months, I think we have a pretty good short-term trading opportunity to catch a ride as retail traders look for new trades.

Close the Books on Deutsche Bank, Put Your Money Where It Really Counts

Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has made waves throughout the world, politically and financially – and they are taking their toll.

It is looking grim for European economies and a recession may be on its way.

In the last week, German economists have urged business and households to dramatically cut back their energy use. Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, went so far as to tell European households to become more pessimistic and cut back on spending.

To those of you asking me about the European finance sector, here’s your answer: don’t touch it with the ten-foot pole. There is a better option that could bolster your portfolio.

And there’s a lot of questions you guys have about particular stocks. I’m going to save my, I want to call a sort of a lightning round towards the end. It’s going to be 20 minutes, half an hour, call here, and I’m going to go over all of the stocks that I have, or most of the stocks that you guys have submitted.
