Earlier this year, I decided to “unleash” my Maximum Profit system onto you, my readers, to give you an opportunity to see how your favorite stocks stack up. Since then, I’ve scored 297 of your stocks in three installments. Read More

It’s on every investor’s mind…   “When is this bull market going to end?”   I wish I knew. But I can’t predict the future any better than you can.   What I can tell you is that I’ve been keeping a close eye on a handful of indicators that have historically provided signs of a looming pullback, correction and/or recession — and they’re telling me that we’re not quite there yet.   But the cracks are beginning to show…   Back in June, I told readers of my premium Maximum Profit service about how my system can identify underlying… Read More

It’s on every investor’s mind…   “When is this bull market going to end?”   I wish I knew. But I can’t predict the future any better than you can.   What I can tell you is that I’ve been keeping a close eye on a handful of indicators that have historically provided signs of a looming pullback, correction and/or recession — and they’re telling me that we’re not quite there yet.   But the cracks are beginning to show…   Back in June, I told readers of my premium Maximum Profit service about how my system can identify underlying trends on Wall Street and in the market. I covered how it spotted the feverish pace of share buybacks, the soaring number of stocks with high nominal prices and, of course, how my system had 60% of our portfolio in cash before the market fell as much as 9% at the beginning of 2016.   This week it flashed something a bit more alarming… Something that flies directly in the face of what all the major financial news outlets are telling us.  —Recommended Link— The Best Thing That Ever Came Out Of Washington You know what IRAs and 401(k)s can… Read More

On February 6, a group of 653 men and women from the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom gathered in a private conference room in Boca Raton, Florida. But this wasn’t just any conference. The average person’s net worth in this room was $75 million. All these rich people were there for the same reason: They were sick and tired of walking around with a bullseye on their backs. You see, banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, and brokerage firms see the wealthy as “easy targets”. These are people they can siphon fees off of — and make a… Read More

On February 6, a group of 653 men and women from the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom gathered in a private conference room in Boca Raton, Florida. But this wasn’t just any conference. The average person’s net worth in this room was $75 million. All these rich people were there for the same reason: They were sick and tired of walking around with a bullseye on their backs. You see, banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, and brokerage firms see the wealthy as “easy targets”. These are people they can siphon fees off of — and make a killing. As one attendee — a former executive in five different companies — put it, “I felt the advice I was getting was always tainted.” Two others discovered they were using the same investment advisor, but one of them was paying more for the exact same service. Another one called stock brokers and wealth managers a “den of thieves” who want to “make themselves money first, then their clients.” So… with nowhere to go, and nobody they could trust with their money, they turned to each other. —Recommended Link— $1.3 Trillion In Cash For Folks Who Do Not Trust Wall… Read More

It also set the stage for one the greatest developments in medical history.

A pioneer in her own right, her incredible journey is well documented… as it should be. It’s gone on to help save the lives of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of women. It also set the stage for one the greatest developments in medical history. The year was 1990, and Barbara Bradfield discovered one of the worst things anybody can find: a lump on her breast and swollen lymph nodes under her arm.  A biopsy confirmed her worst nightmare — she had metastatic breast cancer. Surgery to remove her breast and the lymph nodes quickly followed. Then chemotherapy — one of the few treatments available at the time. In 1991, more than 43,000 people died of breast cancer. Barbara expected to be one of them, as the survival rate for patients like her was about 20%. In fact, Barbara’s form of cancer was so aggressive that most doctors gave her no chance of surviving.  The surgery and chemotherapy didn’t work. Cancer returned. And her doctor offered the only thing he could at the time: more chemotherapy. But they both knew that this would only extend her life by a few months.  Barbara declined all further treatment.  She was staring… Read More
