One Tactic to Beat the Street – And Buy any Stock You Want “On Sale”

Conventional wisdom holds that Wall Street is rigged to favor the big traders, and that you'll never win. The implication, of course, is why even try? I've never believed that, and you shouldn't either. In reality, there are plenty of savvy investors who have beaten and who continue to beat Wall Street at its own game consistently, including Sir John Templeton, the legendary Jim Rogers,

Before You Sell Amazon or Short It, Read This First

Noted investor Doug Kass made headlines Friday claiming that “Washington” has begun antitrust talks on Amazon.com Inc. (NasdaqGS:AMZN) and, not surprisingly, I got a blizzard of emails from anxious investors asking if they should be selling or even shorting Amazon, too. To which I have but one reply… …not unless you like handing over your money to line someone else’s

Make Any Investment Risk “Free” in One Move

There's no way to eliminate risk 100% when it comes to investing. I can't do it. You can't do it. (And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, take your money and run.) There's just no such thing. That said, there is one way you can make any investment risk "free" under the right set of circumstances, by using one of my favorite Total Wealth tactics: the free trade. The concept of a

How to Retire at 60: Your Two-Part Action Plan

More than 50% of Americans age 35 to 54 have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, according to Time. How we got to this point over the last 15 years is hardly surprising. Many investors watched helplessly as their 401(k)s became "201(k)s" during the Financial Crisis... for the second time in a decade. Generation X-ers were particularly hard hit, losing roughly 45% of their average net

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.

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."
