If you’re thinking about turning your passion into your job, you might want to consider this one detail first.

The lunacy continues… and it’s your money that’s at risk.

If you’re worried about negative news stories tanking the stock market, you’ve got a lot of company.

Me, I’m not worried because there’s another side to every coin and every negative story.

Here’s the heads-up on the other side of the bad news, and what’s good for the market.

A trip to the emergency room tells us a lot about the future of America…

The easiest thing in the world is to assume we can just rock along with the way things are and all will be well. But that won’t solve anything.

The Dow rose 508 points, or 1.9% last week. The S&P 500 rose 1.5%. And the Nasdaq Composite rose the same 1.5%.

That’s what I call a bullish week, not because it was a rah, rah run for the high ground kind of week, simply because we ended the week up when we easily could have slid backwards.

We rose on uneventful volume, to be sure, but we rose.

Proof that it was a good week and that bulls are ready to breakout of their corral and maybe stampede higher was especially evident on Friday. After futures pointed to a hellish day ahead, on the heels of the President seen headed for the hospital on Thursday, once the market opened, buyers came in.

So, investors are asking themselves, as they often do, “what now?”

The answer’s simple: start buying.

Here are 10 reasons you should be buying stocks now… and two strategies for buying them.

The average American is not enthusiastic about the increased use of automation by just about every industry you can name. But here’s what they’re missing…

Market analysts almost always use history as a guide when calculating likely stock market moves, especially when it comes to elections. This year’s no exception.

But, of all the historical references and metrics being incorporated this time around, there’s really only one that matters.

This election is going to be “contested” and only one other presidential election in modern era has been contested, and we know what the market did then.

Here’s why Tuesday’s debate almost guarantees a contested election, what the market did the last time the country waited to find out who their next president was going to be, and how you can profit handsomely by putting on an inexpensive option position to ride out the storm.
