While controversy over the nomination and seating of a new Supreme Court justice prior to a presidential election is headline news, addressing the critical tech-centric controversy over Internet immunity, which includes influencing elections, will soon be before the Court.

And hardly anyone’s noticed.

Here’s what the Supreme Court decided on October 13, and what it means for your money…

We dug up an old penny last night. Boy, the stories it could tell about the value of our money…

The polls and the pundits had it all wrong in 2016. They said Donald Trump had no chance of winning the election, and if he did, the stock market would crash.

So much for polls and pundits.

With Joe Biden now ahead in almost every poll, investors are wondering if stocks will keep rising if President Trump wins reelection.

The short answer is, “yes,” markets will rally.

Just when you thought you knew what to expect in a “Convention” to nominate a party’s presidential candidate, along comes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (aka AOC) and says what almost no one expected her to say at the virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention.

In her 90-second speech Tuesday evening, she didn’t mention the Convention. She didn’t mention Joe Biden.

So far this year retail bankruptcy filings total 43, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

That’s only 5 fewer than the 48 bankruptcy filings by retailers in 2010, the worst year for retail during the Great Recession, and we’ve still got four and a half months left in 2020.

Here’s what’s happening behind shuttered and reopened stores to demand, to supply chains and vendors of apparel companies; and who’s going to make it and who’s not.

In a word, “no.”

But with their valuations peaking, concentration in them at all-time highs, and pushback from advertisers, regulators, and politicians mounting, an increasing cadre of skeptics and analysts think their run’s about over.

Let’s examine the bull case and bear case for these mega-cap tech darlings and why it’s not too late to buy them.

Most importantly, I’ll show you how to make money on them going up if you don’t own them, and why and how to buy them lower if they come down.

Across America, waves are crashing. And folks want to know whether there’s any way to alter the course as things begin to overflow…

Everyone knows the Fed’s manipulated interest rates down so low for so long there are no decent yielding investments in the fixed income market unless you’re willing to pay up for junk bonds.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t great yielding investments readily available in other markets.

I’m talking about the stock market. Lots of companies pay dividends to their stockholders.

Some of them pay fat dividends, earn plenty of money regularly to keep paying them, and offer a kicker called appreciation.

Here are three fat dividend yielding stocks you can tuck away in your retirement account, so you actually can retire.

To make money in the stock market investors need to know how bad the recession’s going to be and how the market’s going to react to economic conditions.

One surefire way to gauge what’s going on in the economy and gauge what the market thinks about economic prospects, as well as divine the market’s direction, is by watching bank stocks.
