Imagine if you could have foreseen just how successful Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) was going to be at changing the music industry with the introduction of the iPod, iPhone and iTunes ecosystem. Or that folks would no longer run down to their local Blockbuster to rent a movie, but instead stream it over the internet — rendering DVDs all but dead. Of course, there are countless stories like these that illustrate how technological innovations killed off old stodgy companies and industries. 8-track and cassette tapes, VCR and DVD players, 3.5-inch floppy disks and developing film (Kodak) just to name a few.

Of course, there are countless stories like these that illustrate how technological innovations killed off old stodgy companies and industries. 8-track and cassette tapes, VCR and DVD players, 3.5-inch floppy disks and developing film (Kodak) just to name a few. Heck, even the pound sign is being replaced with the hashtag. #-ad_banner-#In hindsight, it’s easy to spot these major trend changes, but of course forecasting the next major revolution is never that simple. Just take Sirius and XM radio, for example. These two companies aimed to change the radio industry by providing ad-free music to consumers across the nation. This novel idea seemed destined to kill off traditional radio as we knew it. After all, radio hadn’t seen any major advances in decades, plus it’s annoying to hear your favorite AM or FM radio station fade away as you traverse… Read More

In this advisory, I employ a proprietary trading system that scours the universe of stocks to find ones that have the best potential of delivering exceptional returns in a short amount of time (my average holding period is six months).  While on the surface it might seem as if Maximum Profit and my other, long-term-focused newsletter Top Stock Advisor come from opposite ends of the investing spectrum, at their core they are quite similar… You see, in Maximum Profit, we take technical analysis (the study of charts and graphs) and combine it with fundamental analysis, and in return we get an elite system that has the uncanny ability to find solid companies that deliver fantastic returns over a short amount of time.

If you only read the headlines on Friday, June 9, you might have thought that financial Armageddon was upon us. Major tech companies like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google parent Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) fell as much as 6% in intraday trading. Meanwhile, the technology sector fell 1.53% and dragged the Nasdaq Composite Index down 113 points, or about 1.8% for the day. The selloff in tech stocks continued into Monday. Headlines screamed that this could be the start of the next major selloff and warned that this major bull market could be nearing its end.  I hope you… Read More

If you only read the headlines on Friday, June 9, you might have thought that financial Armageddon was upon us. Major tech companies like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google parent Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) fell as much as 6% in intraday trading. Meanwhile, the technology sector fell 1.53% and dragged the Nasdaq Composite Index down 113 points, or about 1.8% for the day. The selloff in tech stocks continued into Monday. Headlines screamed that this could be the start of the next major selloff and warned that this major bull market could be nearing its end.  I hope you didn’t listen. Since June 8 — the day before the selloff — the Nasdaq Composite Index is down only 2.5%. Meanwhile, its counterparts the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have fared much better, with the S&P 500 up 0.52% and the Dow Jones up 1.57%.  But what’s perhaps more interesting is the fact that just a handful of stocks caused Nasdaq to slide. The companies I mentioned above — Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet — plus Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) account for nearly 75% of the index’s weighting.  Just consider, the Nasdaq Composite Index is comprised… Read More
