There’s an old Wall Street maxim: “You never go broke taking a profit.”  However, for most investors, especially those of us who are humans, that’s easier said than done. We’ve always got “buy” disciplines and criteria: prices, forward PE ratios, dividend yields, etc. Or, if you’re a technician (aka “wiggle reader”), you look at 200-day moving averages, reverse head and shoulders patterns, and other indicators. —Recommended Link— Stick It To The Costs Of Life With New Legacy Assets Portfolio In this climate of rising interest rates and looming trade wars… when raising a child costs a quarter-million dollars, attending… Read More

There’s nothing like cash to show how successful a company has been. When a fledgling enterprise first turns cash-flow positive — that is, when the money going in starts exceeding the money going out — it’s a sign the company is on its way to profitability. —Recommended Link— The Market’s Most SECRETIVE Indicator… Pioneered by a Texas investing firm, with a PROVEN million-dollar track record, the little-known “MP Score” is something outsiders rarely hear about-until now… Get started HERE.

Growing companies need cash to invest in their businesses, and, until they turn profitable, will have to either borrow or issue new equity to supplement their cash positions. When a mature company is doing well, it may choose to borrow — but it often does not need to. Its business might already generate enough cash to cover all the ongoing expenses, pay for share buybacks and/or dividends and have some cash left over. #-ad_banner-#This is where mergers and acquisitions come into play. While cash is usually not the only reason a company gets taken over, having a large cash balance can well make a company an acquisition target.

I love small- and mid-cap stocks for their potential return, but large-cap stocks are still the biggest portion of my portfolio. Small-cap companies promise the highest returns but have the highest amount of risk. Mid-cap companies have grown out of some of that risk but can still offer decent returns. —Recommended Link— Hit This ‘Sweet Spot’ For 9.9% Average Yields While you might be tempted to buy only the highest-yielding dividend stocks… please DON’T. Because research proves that one special group of dividend-payers outperformed all others over a period of 87 years. And once you find this dividend “sweet… Read More

There’s a lot to be said for shares of the world’s largest companies. It’s easy, after nearly a decade of bull market returns, to forget the need for safety and financial flexibility in a crisis. Both small- and mid-cap indexes underperformed their larger peers from mid-2007 through the worst of the Great Recession. #-ad_banner-#And that relative safety doesn’t mean… Read More
