We’re only three weeks into 2018 and it’s already been a particularly wild year for cryptocurrency investors. And that’s saying something for a market where 15% moves are brushed off as daily trading swings. The euphoric first week of January, when a number of coins achieved all-time highs and bitcoin reached for its own stratospheric peak, was met with a downturn that slid from disappointing to catastrophic over the next two weeks. Prices dipped to lows not seen since the mainstream media picked up on cryptocurrencies last fall, with bitcoin crashing under the critical $10,000 mark on Jan 16. Read More

We’re only three weeks into 2018 and it’s already been a particularly wild year for cryptocurrency investors. And that’s saying something for a market where 15% moves are brushed off as daily trading swings. The euphoric first week of January, when a number of coins achieved all-time highs and bitcoin reached for its own stratospheric peak, was met with a downturn that slid from disappointing to catastrophic over the next two weeks. Prices dipped to lows not seen since the mainstream media picked up on cryptocurrencies last fall, with bitcoin crashing under the critical $10,000 mark on Jan 16. Was it big-money investors shorting the market to cash in on futures contracts? A selloff in preparation of tax season or the Chinese New Year? The classic January crypto-dip? We may never know for sure. But whatever plagued the market has made a swift exit. #-ad_banner-#At the time of writing, bitcoin had rallied over 20% in less than a day, and the other two most well-known cryptos, ether and litecoin, had gained even more. But some of the greatest gains were in a couple of “altcoins” (coins other than bitcoin) you may or may not… Read More

We’re barely into January, but, at least here in Wyoming, you can get your Easter decorations at Target.  —Sponsored Link— The Investing Secret That Can Mint Millionaires When it comes to successful investing, there are only three market extremes you have to worry about to make money. And it may seem like a challenge to accurately find them — let alone predict them before they happen in time to take action — but when any of these extreme conditions occur, you’ll be able to identify the situation and position yourself to profit. Find out all the details in this brief presentation. You might have noticed that trend where you live as well. Retailers are pushing holiday decorations earlier and earlier every year. Just a few months ago, Christmas decorations were competing for space with Halloween decorations. When I notice trends like this, I’m always left with the question of who is responsible. Are retailers creating demand for decorations… or are consumers demanding the decorations? I believe, in this case, the trend is driven by consumers, but… Read More

From Day 1, Trump has promised big things for the economy. Though the mechanisms of action have been questionable, the President has managed to spur growth in not just the stock market (with a 20.4% annual gain) but in the broader economy as well. Tax cuts, regulatory reductions, and promises of pro-growth policies all helped push the economy back into very healthy 3% growth territory. Even after the surprise turnaround, Trump still believes there’s much more room to grow, as do many market participants. Trump is even predicting 6% GDP growth — a forecast that defies logic — but as… Read More

It’s no secret that starting a business is a daunting task. After all, about 50% of new businesses fail within five years. And as you can see from the Bureau of Labor Statistics chart below, that number is expected to grow to more than 80% over the next two decades. Now, let’s be clear. The chart actually shows how many companies were still in business from one year to the next. But that doesn’t mean that all of them failed.  You see, some businesses merged with other companies, while others saw their owners retire… Read More

The chart actually shows how many companies were still in business from one year to the next. But that doesn’t mean that all of them failed.  You see, some businesses merged with other companies, while others saw their owners retire and close the doors. So the numbers are a bit skewed. Still, the odds of starting a successful business for the long term are stacked against entrepreneurs.  What may not be apparent in this BLS chart is that these stats apply equally to all companies — not just mom and pop businesses. In other words, government bureaucrats were following companies with billion dollar capitalizations as well — including the once formidable tech company, Yahoo!  #-ad_banner-#Yahoo started as a list of websites called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web” created by a couple of engineering students at Stanford… Read More

Major hedge fund managers like Ray Dalio and Tudor Jones are sending out warning missives about the pending bear. #-ad_banner-#Dalio told the Greenwich Economic Forum, “The world, by and large, is leveraged long. When there is a downturn, I don’t think there’s much to protect investors.” At the same conference, Jones theorized that he expects the credit bubble to pop in response to the recent tax cuts. Jones said: “The ratio of debt in the world relative to the gross domestic product is at an all-time high, but the reason no one talks about it or gets alarmed is you could have said that virtually… Read More

2018 is starting off right where 2017 finished, with markets notching new highs on a near-daily basis. And even though we’re early in the year, I believe I’ve come across an important indication of what’s to come. More specifically, I think I’ve found what sector could lead the pack in 2018.

I’ll be the first to admit it — I don’t understand bitcoin. I don’t have a clue about what blockchain technology entails. What I do understand is that when EVERYONE is talking about an investment from the man on the street to the nightly news, something’s up.  Anecdotal evidence: One of my sons rode two hours to a friend’s hunting camp over the holidays. His friend’s dad, a smart but regular guy who doesn’t invest outside of the mutual funds in his 401(k), talked about nothing but the urgency to buy bitcoin.  Cue the railroad-crossing warning lights and bells. #-ad_banner-#As… Read More

At neighborhood barbecues, chamber of commerce functions, and even your dentist appointment, everything was tech stocks and tech stocks were everything.  However, few people had a real grasp on this wondrous new technology, let alone how to discern winners from losers. This resulted in bad investment choices and squandered money. With stock markets grinding to record highs and seemingly incessant cryptocurrency get-rich-quick noise, it’s easy to forget what truly works over the long haul. So, now’s probably a great opportunity to revisit… Read More
