The Free Trade

Gary Gensler, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is out to kill payment-for-order-flow (PFOF), the misunderstood retail trade routing mechanism that birthed commission-free trading while enriching a few love-to-hate brokerages and Wall Street scapegoats.

But killing PFOF could kill retail trading and investing, the greatest, most equalizing, easiest to access, wealth creation avenue for all Americans.

This is a big story, but the circus surrounding the 75-basis-point rate hike the Fed announced on yesterday has swept it under the rug along with all the opportunities it represents for us. So, I wanted to take time in today’s Total Wealth to address what this means for you and what you can do about it.

Every bond and stock investor knows at least one Wall Street saying regarding Fed policy moves. Some of them are: “Never fight the Fed,” “Follow the Fed,” and “Don’t fade the Fed.” They’re good advice, but only to a point.

I think 2022 and early 2023 will be the year of big tech growth stocks.

You heard me right. I said “growth” stocks, not “value” stocks.

Since mid-2021, the market started pricing in higher interest rates. That impacted the valuation of tech companies based on discounted cash flow pricing models. And that, in turn, drove prices down on most tech growth stocks.

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 not to own this stock. Well, maybe there is. Not everyone can afford to spend […]

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.

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.
