Originally intended to be a public morale booster, the poster was topped with the regal crown and in simple block letters on a red field were the words “Keep Calm and Carry On.” —Recommended Link— The Only Pot Stock Worth Owning This summer, Canada will completely legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use — sparking an $8 BILLION industry.  Our experts have their sights on a company that’s been granted a virtual monopoly… Read More

I think of this poster when clients, politicians, and other pundits begin the customary gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands when the federal government talks of deficit and debt issue increases. Yes, $20 trillion is an almost incomprehensible number. The annual debt service, according to data from the General Accounting Office (GAO), was $457 billion in 2017. #-ad_banner-#Now for the good news: Total U.S. government revenue clocks… Read More

The fact is that many of these ultra-conservative perma-bears, as they are called, are simply voices of extreme reason (aka, the boy(s) who cried wolf), reminding us of all the missteps governments and investors are supposedly making and calling out the cyclical (or contrived) downturns that are inevitable from time to time. #-ad_banner-#Unfortunately, even if what they are saying makes sense, their timing is usually way off, reducing their viability until something really happens.

I have identified five small-cap stocks — including one that’s up 700% this year — that I think offer great risk/reward for the long-term investor. Here are my five favorite small caps for the next 52 weeks. 1. TechTarget (Nasdaq: TTGT) This $500 million-plus cloud-based content marketing company has soared over 40% this year.

Because a sharp selloff (“falling knife”) usually happens for a good reason, it’s next to impossible to predict when the selloff will stop.

First, market veterans will recall the heady days of the 1980s when junk bonds first became in vogue as a capital-raising tool. Secondly, some investors will look at you with disbelief, thinking junk bonds no longer even exist.

And while $11,200 in dividend checks is a welcome addition to anyone’s income, investors also love racking up capital gains as high as 446%. Start generating a 10%+ income stream for life today from these consistent companies. This article will explain junk bonds and provide three ways to capture profits from these little-understood financial instruments. What Is A Junk Bond?

About four years ago, our publisher introduced me to a man who knows more about options trading than anyone I’ve ever met. This man is something of a wunderkind. He began trading options at age 16 and quickly found himself making upward of $600,000 a year. Nowadays, you might find him as a regularly featured guest on financial news programs over at CNBC or Fox Business. If you’ve been a regular reader of StreetAuthority Insider, then you probably know who I’m talking about: Jared Levy, Chief Investment Strategist of Profit Amplifier.

Nowadays, you might find him as a regularly featured guest on financial news programs over at CNBC or Fox Business. If you’ve been a regular reader of StreetAuthority Insider, then you probably know who I’m talking about: Jared Levy, Chief Investment Strategist of Profit Amplifier. Now, those of you who have followed Jared over the years know that his read on the market is nearly impeccable. That’s thanks to years of experience in the trenches of the high-stakes trading pits in Philadelphia and New York, as well as his sophisticated-yet-simple method of trading. But when Jared came to us with a “crazy hunch” nearly a year ago… we thought he was kidding, or absolutely bonkers. “Is Jared OK?” This question, raised by one of our younger employees around the StreetAuthority offices, was a fair one. He just simply had the stones, or was naïve enough, to ask it out loud. But those… Read More

Take a peek at it here… That contrasts with a longer-term track record of outperformance for these companies “caught in the middle” and some good reasons the group could return to dominate market returns. They may not be as exciting as small caps or get the media coverage of large caps, but this group of up-and-comers consistently surprise investors. #-ad_banner-#Mid-caps offer a rare mix of growth and safety you won’t want to miss.
