Our first foray into the world of medical and recreational cannabis over at Fast-Track Millionaire remains the industry leader.  It was the first among the industry players to secure a large and lucrative partnership deal — in the form of a multi-billion-dollar link with a well-known maker of beers, wines and spirits.  It was also the first to buy a large U.S.-based competitor, although the deal is designed not to take place until the U.S. legalizes marijuana on a federal level. In many ways, our first cannabis stock pick has set the standard in the budding industry. But other industry… Read More

In many ways, our first cannabis stock pick has set the standard in the budding industry. But other industry players have been following suit. And my Fast-Track Millionaire readers and I have been paying very close attention, looking for what could be tomorrow’s household names in Big Cannabis. —Recommended Link— This Is The Story To Watch In 2019 I’ve found the perfect marijuana business. And it’s not a dispensary, a lab, or a grower. Instead, it provides the one thing each of these businesses need. Something they pay a 400% premium to get access to. And something that retains its value no matter what happens with marijuana laws. More importantly for you, this company… Read More

Some investors may be concerned about buying stocks when the S&P 500 is up double-digits in less than six months. That’s understandable. As I write this, the S&P 500 index has rallied 16.2%, while the market is up 49% over the past five years and 217% over the past decade. But rather than adopt an overly defensive posture, I’ve been telling my Fast-Track Millionaire readers something different… You see, I think the antidote is to invest in rapid-growth industries — places where future profits are likely to outgrow the market by a wide margin.  After all, if we can identify… Read More

Some investors may be concerned about buying stocks when the S&P 500 is up double-digits in less than six months. That’s understandable. As I write this, the S&P 500 index has rallied 16.2%, while the market is up 49% over the past five years and 217% over the past decade. But rather than adopt an overly defensive posture, I’ve been telling my Fast-Track Millionaire readers something different… You see, I think the antidote is to invest in rapid-growth industries — places where future profits are likely to outgrow the market by a wide margin.  After all, if we can identify the companies delivering the kind of growth I’m talking about — it won’t matter what the rest of the market is doing… the shares of these companies will be positioned to keep delivering. This explains the recent strength in tech, for example. And while there’s plenty of growth in that sector — and you should be paying close attention to it (as we do over at Fast-Track Millionaire)… I’m not here to talk about tech today.  Instead, I’d like to touch on another growth industry — where the action has largely been more muted — the fledgling cannabis sector.  —Recommended… Read More

The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average are at all-time highs. The same is true for the NASDAQ 100 Index and many other market averages. But some important averages remain well below their all-time highs.  Small-cap and mid-cap stocks are well below their all-time highs. For example, if we take a look at the S&P 600 – a small-cap benchmark index – we see it ended last week more than 13% below its August 2018 high.  —Recommended Link— Secret “Paycheck Program” Just Discovered…  It’s delivering up to 30 checks each year… Checks for… Read More

If you’re looking for reliable cash, you need to act right now. This is instantly valuable, so don’t miss out.  Click here for the “Paycheck Program” details. The mid-cap S&P 400 (below) is almost 5% below its August high.  These indexes demonstrate that the strength in this year’s stock market rally has been driven by large-cap stocks. That can easily be explained by the “TINA” thesis; in fact, pension fund managers and other institutional investors have been citing TINA as… Read More

With U.S. stocks hitting record highs, investors face a question of where to invest. True, that’s always THE question — but this market isn’t an ordinary one.  Expectations for monetary easing have largely been behind the recent market strength (up nearly 10% since the beginning of June). That’s unusual for a market trading at all-time highs, but these expectations have been all but confirmed after Congressional testimony last week from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.  While investors await the next earnings cycle (which gets underway this week) for more clues about the direction of profits and the economy, Chairman Powell’s… Read More

With U.S. stocks hitting record highs, investors face a question of where to invest. True, that’s always THE question — but this market isn’t an ordinary one.  Expectations for monetary easing have largely been behind the recent market strength (up nearly 10% since the beginning of June). That’s unusual for a market trading at all-time highs, but these expectations have been all but confirmed after Congressional testimony last week from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.  While investors await the next earnings cycle (which gets underway this week) for more clues about the direction of profits and the economy, Chairman Powell’s words are the basis of their near-term bullishness. But stocks have gotten expensive, and many growth stocks — the ones we invest in over at Fast-Track Millionaire — look reasonable only if their fast growth remains intact.  In these conditions, it would be wise to also consider somewhat slower-growing and/or better-valued stocks.

We need to talk about China…  #-ad_banner-#And no, I’m not referring to the ongoing trade spat with the country. While that is important and it will be touched on, that is something you can read about anywhere.

We need to talk about China…  #-ad_banner-#And no, I’m not referring to the ongoing trade spat with the country. While that is important and it will be touched on, that is something you can read about anywhere. I want to talk about the country’s importance in the broader global economy, its impact on our portfolio over at Top Stock Advisor, and specifically our direct exposure through two holdings: Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Tencent (OTC: TCEHY).  Before we dive into our holdings, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger landscape of the country… Massive Size = Massive Opportunity In terms of land mass, China and the United States are close in size. However, China boasts nearly 1.4 billion people, which dwarfs the roughly 325 million folks in America. Its economy, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), sits at $13.6 trillion, which is second only to the United States’ $20.6 trillion. China and the United States trade more goods — nearly $700 billion last year — than any other two countries in the world. But let’s go back to the country’s population… 1.4 billion citizens. That is a lot of people. And a key reason why nearly… Read More
