Use This Tool and Never be Surprised by a Correction Again

Many investors try to time the markets despite overwhelming evidence that doing so is a fool's errand. I totally get where they're coming from. The idea of picking market tops and bottoms is very seductive, but they may as well be trying to catch falling knives. According to Nobel Laureate William Sharpe, the average investor would have to be right a staggering 82% of the time just to

These Two REITs Can Be Safer than Bonds When Rates Are Rising

I'm getting a lot of questions about real estate right now and, specifically, about whether REITs are as "bad" as many investors think when rates are rising. Nope. In fact, the right REITs can be better, safer and potential far more lucrative as interest rates increase. Including the two I'd like to share with you today. Many investors believe that rising rates are bad for real estate

Get on Board or Get Left Behind

On the surface, economic metrics are looking down, but remember - as Keith explains to the panel - "government statistics are more cooked than a Christmas goose." A quick look at companies shows that revenues and earnings (the real signs of a healthy economy) are both increasing. That's caught traders' attentions - and means opportunities for you, too.

How Uber’s Disaster Impacts Your Portfolio

Many investors think that what's happening with Uber can't or won't impact their portfolio because it's a private company. Think again. Uber's ongoing train wreck will have a material impact on your money in ways that most investors won't expect. Especially when it comes to my favorite subject. Profits. What's happening with Uber is pretty straightforward, and proof positive that

Why Uber’s Self-Destruction Could Be an Opportunity

Uber has been one of the most disruptive companies to burst onto the global scene, but most recently it's been plagued by lawsuits, political strife, and now the resignation of CEO Travis Kalanick. Now, Uber's just a bug in search of a windshield, and these events have just set the stage for a second-tier competitor to come in and dominate the scene. As Keith tells host Stuart Varney, "You can't just be disruptive and profitable -- you've got to be disruptive, profitable, and understand how to run a real company."

Can Anything Stop These Markets?

The three major indexes opened higher this morning, continuing the market’s upward momentum and pushing the Dow to yet another all-time high. As Keith points out to the panel, “Don’t forget why the markets go higher… because people want to tap into growth, growth drives prices, prices drive earnings, and earnings drive your investments.” Get rid of the emotion, and it becomes a simple equation.

Your Mid-Year Review (and The Tactics You’ll Need to Set Up for Profits in 2018)

For the last 100 years, investing in America frequently meant doing a little research, and then calling your broker to buy. Armed with a modicum of knowledge and data, yesterday's investors would often "set it and forget it" when it came to their financial future in a process euphemistically called "buy and hold." Problem is, "buy and hold" is a marketing gimmick - not an investment strategy.

Wall Street Stands Immune to Terror

Stuart Varney asked Keith if there was a relationship between Wednesday morning’s violent shootings and the following activity in the markets. As Keith explained to the panel, “The business of America is where traders need to focus – isolated incidences, horrific as they are right now, do not impact the business future of America.”

Tech Rally Hits a Speedbump

Millions of investors saw the selloff in the tech sector Monday morning, and immediately panicked about a second dot.bomb bubble. As Keith points out, panic selling and knee-jerk reactions are not the answer. When it comes to the major tech stocks, as he explains on Varney & Co., "the world needs what they produce." This is where the growth is happening, and will continue to happen. Here's what you need to know.

Beware – New Fiduciary Rule In Effect Today

It's June 9 and that means the Department of Labor's new fiduciary rule is now in effect. The goal of the legislation is to improve the quality of advice you receive as an investor when it comes to your retirement, but I believe the opposite will happen. The fiduciary rule is, in fact, a huge risk to your retirement. Here's why, and more importantly, how you can protect your money (and

Dow 60k… Here’s Why

You know me. I'm not prone to hype, nor do I say things I don't mean. My job as Chief Investment Strategist is to help you make a fortune by telling you what you need to know. Sometimes that's stuff the Street hasn't thought about yet, or simply doesn't want to consider (but should in the name of profits). So today, I'm just going to say what I gotta say: ...the Dow Jones Industrial
