We are in the midst of an extraordinary situation in the financial markets. Situations like this only occur a few times in every investor’s lifetime, and bring with them a tremendous opportunity for wealth creation.  Over the last 20 years, there have been three main chances for anyone to exponentially increase their wealth. The first one was the dot-com boom, followed by the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008 to 2009, and now a third is looming ahead.  The nature of special situations is that most investors doubt their validity until it is too late.

We are in the midst of an extraordinary situation in the financial markets. Situations like this only occur a few times in every investor’s lifetime, and bring with them a tremendous opportunity for wealth creation.  Over the last 20 years, there have been three main chances for anyone to exponentially increase their wealth. The first one was the dot-com boom, followed by the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008 to 2009, and now a third is looming ahead.  The nature of special situations is that most investors doubt their validity until it is too late. Traditional investors react with cynicism, mockery, and uncertainty during these exciting periods. Convinced that the move will soon fizzle out, most investors remain very fearful and miss their chance to join the ranks of the newly wealthy.  Today’s biggest opportunity for wealth creation is the cryptocurrency explosion of 2017. Called a bubble by many in the financial establishment, the speed and power of crypto’s price moves have surprised even its most ardent bulls. While most investors remain frozen on the sidelines in a combination of fear and amazement, outsiders, risk takers, and a fortunate few are quietly amassing massive wealth.  #-ad_banner-#I have personally met… Read More

I don’t like playing “futurist”. I’m going to try not to sound like an ineffective political campaign commercial, but the only way I can describe the healthcare in the United States is that it is broken. It may be beyond repair in its present form. I say this as both an expert and a consumer. The United States has the highest healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP among developed nations throughout the world. Currently, the nation spends 17% of its annual GDP on healthcare. In dollar terms, that comes to $3.06 trillion. The average amongst our peers is just… Read More

I don’t like playing “futurist”. I’m going to try not to sound like an ineffective political campaign commercial, but the only way I can describe the healthcare in the United States is that it is broken. It may be beyond repair in its present form. I say this as both an expert and a consumer. The United States has the highest healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP among developed nations throughout the world. Currently, the nation spends 17% of its annual GDP on healthcare. In dollar terms, that comes to $3.06 trillion. The average amongst our peers is just under 11%. In per capita terms, according to research from George Mason University, the United States spends, on average, $8,508 per person on healthcare. The average among developed nations is less than half of that, at $3,322. Meanwhile, as our healthcare costs escalate, so does our aging population. Pew research has determined that 10,000 members of the baby boom generation turn 65 every day. By 2030, when all boomers are 65 or older, they will account for 18% of the nation’s population. While I am an eternal optimist, I sincerely doubt the ability of our current healthcare system to care… Read More

Amazon’s Whole Foods acquisition has ignited a flurry of rumors regarding what company may be the next target of the king of retail. Investors looking to ride the acquisition price jump are scrambling to invest before a buyout announcement.  While no one knows for sure what company will be next in line as an Amazon target, the following five names keep coming up on the Street.

Investors love dividends (you wouldn’t be reading this otherwise). And we’re naturally drawn to high yields. So anytime a stock’s payout climbs two to three times above the market average, you can bet it will get a hard look.  If the business is on solid financial ground, then it won’t take long for income hunters like us (as well as larger institutional investors) to pile in, driving the shares up and the yield back down.  —Sponsored Link— The Shockingly Easy Way To Play The Bitcoin Boom Blockchain technology, bitcoin, ethereum; they’re all in the news… Read More
