Before I gave up on Chicago winters, I managed a hugely popular and successful service called Whisper Trader. Whisper was focused solely on predicting whether a company would beat or miss earnings estimates, and the results were quite remarkable. When I left that service (and the windy city), I took the existing criteria and added several more factors to create my own earnings prediction algorithm… one that was even more accurate than the original. —Sponsored Link— Give Me 9 Minutes A Week And I Guarantee You $67,548 A YearIncludes Huge Windfall For Investors Master trader… Read More

No matter how you look at it, food service is changing in the United States. In fact, research indicates that Americans now eat 50% of their meals out of the home. That’s up from just 2% in 1920. This shouldn’t be surprising, given our cultural penchant for instant gratification.  Whether this trend is good or bad, one thing is abundantly clear: The days of a family gathering around the dinner table eating a meal from scratch — à la The Waltons — has gone the way of the 1970s television show.  However, eating out can be very expensive.

No matter how you look at it, food service is changing in the United States. In fact, research indicates that Americans now eat 50% of their meals out of the home. That’s up from just 2% in 1920. This shouldn’t be surprising, given our cultural penchant for instant gratification.  Whether this trend is good or bad, one thing is abundantly clear: The days of a family gathering around the dinner table eating a meal from scratch — à la The Waltons — has gone the way of the 1970s television show.  However, eating out can be very expensive. A twice-weekly trip to a fast casual restaurant for a family of four can cost the same as a week’s worth of groceries. To some extent, the high cost of eating out helps explain the explosive growth of meal-kit services like Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN), HelloFresh, and Plated that deliver uncooked ingredients to be prepared in the home. #-ad_banner-#But even the convenience of meal kits isn’t particularly appealing to families stretched for time. Late hours at work combined with an endless stream of extracurricular activities for kids has left many parents deprived of the time to cook dinner — even meal kits. Read More

The stock market always shows its hand before a significant change in trend.  History reveals there are a variety of signals that flash before stocks start to plunge.  After doing some digging, I’ve found five signs that the bull market may be about to end.   Here Are My 5 Favorite Signals The Bull Market Is Over 1. Extreme Optimism Bull market tops are always characterized by excessive optimism.  Everyone from golf caddies to Uber drivers are excitedly talking about the stock market.  Tales of fortunes being made are abounding in the workplace as the public plunges into stocks with wild abandon.  Even Hollywood gets into the bullish mood with TV shows and movies focused on finance.  A prime example of this was the original “Wall Street” starring Michael Douglas.  While released in December 1987, two months after the great crash, the movie went into production during the monster bullish mid-1980s, thus forecasting the crash.   Today, accessible finance-related shows like “Shark Tank,” and the many real estate investing/flipping TV programs are signaling keen public interest in real estate and private equity.  Fortunately, for stocks, these shows are not directly about the stock market!   #-ad_banner-#Truthfully, I am not witnessing the… Read More

Over the past month, I’ve been trying out a new feature in my premium newsletter, High-Yield Investing. While past issues have introduced income stocks that simply beat the market’s average yield, or even double or triple it, this new section is different.  This is for investors looking for really high yields — those north of 10%. Sure, the quality of these names may differ — and they may or may not merit inclusion into the newsletter’s portfolio. But my mission is clear: to identify as many opportunities in the high-yield market as possible. —Sponsored Link— Step… Read More

After doubling more than 19 times in the last five years, it would be easy to buy into the mainstream narrative that this global leader is overdue for a correction.  But that would be a mistake.  Despite a market-crushing 57% return in 2017, I expect it to be one of the best performing stocks of 2018. Not only is it the most innovative company in the S&P 500 with a proven history of disrupting multiple industries, it is successfully expanding into high-growth international markets and has major upward momentum. #-ad_banner-#Let’s take a closer look at why Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) could… Read More

Netflix Is The Most Innovative Company In The S&P 500 Netflix has completely disrupted three separate industries in the last 15 years. Netflix’s radical idea to send movies through the mail would eventually lead to industry giant Blockbuster filing for bankruptcy. When it became apparent streaming was the future of content distribution, the company was one of the first to market with its streaming service in 2007. Its streaming service has delivered a crushing blow to the traditional cable industry, giving birth to the term “cord cutter” after tens of millions of cable… Read More

Oh, the perils of our digital age: A few weeks ago, some users of two of Showtime’s websites noticed that their computers and phones had slowed to a crawl. Some devices had become non-responsive.  It took a while to connect the dots, but the cause was found (and corrected). The issue? A rogue string of code had invaded these people’s computers and was secretly running super-heavy calculations in the background.  —Sponsored Link— As Bitcoin Explodes Watch Out For This $0.09 ‘Super-Bitcoin’ You’ve heard about Bitcoin reaching record level prices… But chances are you didn’t hear… Read More

And there are dozens of these “Super-Bitcoins” hitting the market, all the time… Go here now to find out the “Dirty Truth” about Bitcoin. Somebody was mining for cryptocurrencies. On other people’s computers. Without their knowledge. And, of course, without sharing the proceeds.  Why go to all this trouble? Because mining for cyber currencies is, just like any other type of mining, a resource-intensive endeavor. The major difference, in this case, is visual. There’s no huge hole… Read More

OK. I know I’ve been on a bit of a thematic rant about investing ahead of tax reform. I’ve also touched on the current administration’s national infrastructure spending aspirations. I think it’s worth staying on the tax reform path. However, it’s also time to look at the infrastructure theme again. I’ve found a way to follow both developments with one stock, AND get paid quite well in the process.

Investment giant Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) has always been one of my go-to stocks for growth and income. Historically, both have been outstanding. The stock has moved a stunning 54.5% in the last 12 months. Throw in the dividend and investors collected a blockbuster 65%.  #-ad_banner-#After a run that strong, and what some pundits view as a toppy broader market, conventional wisdom might tell one to avoid owning this stock. I disagree.   With a consolidated market cap of $41.3 billion, Blackstone stands out as one of the world’s premiere investment managers focusing on what’s known as the alternative space (i.e. NOT purely stocks and bonds). The firm operates four business segments: private equity, real estate, hedge fund solutions, and credit. Helmed by founder Steve Schwartzman, the company is poised… Read More
