Do This Now to Profit from Strong Tailwinds for Small-Cap Stocks
Friday’s surprise walkout by Republican debt-ceiling negotiators came as a bit of a surprise to investors and we saw stocks sell off at the end of the week. I say “a bit of a surprise” because no one really thought we’d get to the finish line without at least a little bit of theatrics along […]
The Market’s on a Knife’s Edge – Here’s How to Make Money No Matter Which Way It Goes
The stock market (meaning the institutional benchmark index of the market, the S&P 500) broke out of its boring sideways trading range yesterday, but there weren’t a lot of champagne corks popping. Maybe that’s because traders and investors are afraid the long-awaited breakout is another fake-out. The S&P 500 has been trading sideways since April, […]
The Best Retail Stocks to Buy (and to Avoid) Right Now
It can be difficult to know what to do any time the market is mostly going sideways like it is right now, but the retail space is even more confusing than usual at the moment. Retail sector numbers are out this week, and they’re a bit… contradictory. Sales are overall up by .4% over the […]
Soaring Profits and High Dividends Make This Energy Stock a Must-Buy
Anyone who’s been following me for a while knows that I’m hot on traditional energy, both as a trading vehicle and an investing staple. Rising demand coupled with rapid shifts in global supply have created amazing opportunities in this space, and we’re decades away from the renewable future. That means for now, oil and gas […]
Get in Quick on This Easy Gold Play with Triple-Digit Profit Potential
Long-term interest in gold has come out of the shadows, and the luster and allure are obvious with a move towards de-dollarization spreading around the globe.

China is Leading the Charge Against the U.S. Dollar – Here’s What You Need to Do
Yesterday I wrote about the reasons behind the trend toward de-dollarization and how that should impact your investing strategy overall, so you’re prepared for the worst when it comes. But what about now? What immediate actions are countries taking to weaken the dollar, who is most active in the push to dethrone it, and what’s […]
This Simple Strategy Is the Key to Surviving a Post-Dollar World
As I wrote two weeks ago, there are a few key reasons why the U.S. Dollar (USD) is the undisputed and only reserve currency in the world. In 1944, the Bretton Woods Agreement pegged the USD directly to gold. The dollar has been widely considered a store of value on account of America’s huge tax […]
This Stock’s Reversal Gives Us an Opportunity for a Quick Profit Pop
Today, I want to talk about something traders refer to as “filling the gap.” “Gaps” in a stock’s chart occur when the price of the asset moves suddenly up or down, usually in response to news outside of market hours. In many cases these gaps don’t last. Instead, they’re “filled” when share prices move back […]
How to Profit as Countries Gang Up on the U.S. Dollar
With the U.S. debt ceiling once again in headlines, and concerns over America’s dominance over the global financial system, many nations are looking for alternatives to the U.S. Dollar (USD) to reduce their dependence on the United States. That has me spending a lot of time watching companies that can profit from the trend away […]
Your Post-Fed Survival Guide – Everything You Need to Know
Bottom line: I think the market is headed for a lot of pain. We got the 25 basis point hike I was expecting. But we also got something along with it that institutional investors definitely did not want to hear, which is a direct statement from Jerome Powell that the Federal Reserve is not considering […]
