Nobody likes to be early to a party. After all, it can be painfully awkward at times before the rest of the crowd shows up. In fact, you may even wonder why you bothered to come in the first place. That’s what’s happening right now with one of our energy picks over at High-Yield Investing.  In short, my readers and I spotted a solid company whose stock was so oversold — so unloved — that we just had to buy. And while we love collecting the 5% yield it’s paying right now, the stock price itself has yet to rebound. … Read More

Nobody likes to be early to a party. After all, it can be painfully awkward at times before the rest of the crowd shows up. In fact, you may even wonder why you bothered to come in the first place. That’s what’s happening right now with one of our energy picks over at High-Yield Investing.  In short, my readers and I spotted a solid company whose stock was so oversold — so unloved — that we just had to buy. And while we love collecting the 5% yield it’s paying right now, the stock price itself has yet to rebound.  So to understand what’s going on (and why I think we’re overdue for a spike in the shares), let’s consider a completely different “unloved” sector for a moment…  —Recommended Link— SECRET: Add $8,760 Extra to Any Retirement Account​ Finally revealed!

There’s a handful of well-known investors that have left their imprint on the investing world. Whether it was with unprecedented streaks of market-beating returns or famous bets against major events (think financial crisis and “breaking” the Bank of England). At the… Read More

Not every company is created the same, and not every cybersecurity system works to protect against the same set of threats.  For example, some of you may remember Mimecast (Nasdaq: MIME) — a company I’ve mentioned before and also a former Game-Changing Stocks holding. (We owned it for more than a year and sold this past May for a gain of better than 80%.) This company specializes in securing corporate emails — and has been quite successful in advancing that franchise (hence our strong gain on the position). But the threats that any modern business now faces range far and… Read More

Not every company is created the same, and not every cybersecurity system works to protect against the same set of threats.  For example, some of you may remember Mimecast (Nasdaq: MIME) — a company I’ve mentioned before and also a former Game-Changing Stocks holding. (We owned it for more than a year and sold this past May for a gain of better than 80%.) This company specializes in securing corporate emails — and has been quite successful in advancing that franchise (hence our strong gain on the position). But the threats that any modern business now faces range far and wide. Clearly, a company that does its business online, has a website or communicates via the cloud can be exposed to a number of cybersecurity threats. These include malware (any type of software that can harm a computer or its user) or ransomware (software specifically designed to deny access to a computer system or data unless a specific ransom is paid). Market research and consulting firm Global Market Insights says the cybersecurity market will grow exponentially over the next few years, propelled by the need to minimize security risks and rapid growth in cloud-based platforms and other networking technologies.

This is hard to believe. But it’s all documented here.​ (Don’t worry, I won’t be discussing the Avengers movie, so you don’t have to worry about potential spoilers.)  The fact that the trade war is less important to CNBC readers than the Avengers movie shows me that the trade war has become routine.  The specifics of the meeting certainly seemed routine. Both sides agreed not to levy any new tariffs and, according… Read More
