The term “insider trading” often carries a negative connotation. And, of course, it is illegal to buy or sell shares of a company based on material, non-public information. But insiders — company directors, officers or employees — who buy or sell shares based on non-privileged information are in the clear, although the activity is highly regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For instance, the SEC prohibits insiders from entering and exiting positions quickly to capitalize on short-term price movements. The rules say that if an insider sells a stock, they cannot buy it back at a lower price… Read More

The term “insider trading” often carries a negative connotation. And, of course, it is illegal to buy or sell shares of a company based on material, non-public information. But insiders — company directors, officers or employees — who buy or sell shares based on non-privileged information are in the clear, although the activity is highly regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For instance, the SEC prohibits insiders from entering and exiting positions quickly to capitalize on short-term price movements. The rules say that if an insider sells a stock, they cannot buy it back at a lower price for the next six months. On the flipside, if an insider buys a stock, they can’t sell it a higher price for at least six months. Despite the heavy regulations, it’s important to pay attention to what insiders are doing. After all, they are on the front lines. Who else would better know the prospects of the company? They are privy to information regarding new products, competition, and the overall operating environment of the firm — the ultimate due diligence if you will. —Recommended Link— Collect Regular Government-Backed Marijuana Payouts Of $6,751 Or More There’s… Read More

It may just be the most interesting large company you’ve never heard of… But it’s firing on all cylinders, which is why we just recently added it to the Maximum Profit portfolio.  On the surface, it looks like a normal internet and media company. But it’s much, much more than that… In fact, South Africa’s Naspers (OTC: NPSNY) is about as unique a company as you’ll ever come across. It’s a venture capital-like firm that owns a portfolio of some of the top internet companies across the globe.  Many of the companies it owns are firms that you’ve likely never… Read More

It may just be the most interesting large company you’ve never heard of… But it’s firing on all cylinders, which is why we just recently added it to the Maximum Profit portfolio.  On the surface, it looks like a normal internet and media company. But it’s much, much more than that… In fact, South Africa’s Naspers (OTC: NPSNY) is about as unique a company as you’ll ever come across. It’s a venture capital-like firm that owns a portfolio of some of the top internet companies across the globe.  Many of the companies it owns are firms that you’ve likely never heard of, with one notable exception: Chinese tech giant Tencent (OTC: TCEHY).  For those who may be unaware, Tencent is one of the internet giants of China, and the company has its hands in everything from social media to gaming to payments to artificial intelligence and more. In fact, it’s the sixth-largest internet-focused company in the world in terms of revenue. Naspers first invested in Tencent in 2001 and is the company’s largest shareholder, controlling over 31% of shares outstanding. That position alone is worth more than $146 billion. #-ad_banner-#But get this… Naspers’ market cap is only $110 billion. That’s… Read More

After taking a quick hiatus from the bullish trend that ended in September 2018 — and the near 20% plunge in December — the market, as measured by the S&P 500, has resumed its upward course. The index took out its late September 2018 highs this past Friday, April 26. Since then, it has gone on to hit record heights. To be sure, as the market hits new highs, there will always be the crowd of folks shouting that “this” is the top. Of course, nobody knows what the market will do tomorrow, the next day, next week or a… Read More

After taking a quick hiatus from the bullish trend that ended in September 2018 — and the near 20% plunge in December — the market, as measured by the S&P 500, has resumed its upward course. The index took out its late September 2018 highs this past Friday, April 26. Since then, it has gone on to hit record heights. To be sure, as the market hits new highs, there will always be the crowd of folks shouting that “this” is the top. Of course, nobody knows what the market will do tomorrow, the next day, next week or a month from now. But for us, we can lean on some technical indicators that will help tell us if this is a strong market rally or simply a head fake. The main one that we will look at is the Advance-Decline (A-D) Line. I talked about this indicator in this article, where I warned that a bear market could be looming (a month later the S&P 500 bottomed, dropping 19% from its September high). I also touched on it in this article, showing it rebounding, a signal that near-term momentum was strong. The market has ripped off a double-digit return… Read More
