Ignoring Risk Management Is A Costly Investing Mistake
What is Risk Management? Many investors have difficulty figuring out exactly what risk means to them. But this is an crucial topic to understand if you are to succeed in today’s markets.

Why This Time Is Very Different
All bets are off regarding conventional forecasts of the economic and financial future because central bankers have gone bonkers ever since the 2008 financial crisis. Their insane balance sheet eruptions have thoroughly obliterated all of the traditional relationships between Economy and Finance. The two are now virtually disconnected, suspended in their own separate silos. Stated differently, busted financial market signaling mechanisms mean that […]

You’ve Given Me So Much, Dow You’re So Unreal
First, a follow up on yesterday’s action in Weight Watchers (WTW) and Tesla (TSLA). Oprah fever continued today with WTW roaring another 10% higher, finally settling up just below 9%. Extraordinary.

I usually just keep sale proceeds in cash. Weakness in the miners today, or at least some of the miners. I’m not picking on FCX. […]

The Risks Associated With Some Blockchain Stocks
Blockchain stocks are hot. In fact, they are too hot, and that has a risk associated to it. Case in point: A little-known micro-cap stock called Long Island Iced Tea Corp. announced on Thursday December 21st that it changes its name into ‘Long Blockchain Corp.’ The same day its stock price rose more than 200 percent at the open […]
Second Longest Record Streak To Start A Year
Stocks Have An Endless Bid The S&P 500 was up again on Monday, foiling my thesis that there would be a correction this week. The S&P 500 is up 5 out of 5 days this year for a gain of 2.77%. Some investors who outperformed last week already had gains which equal a good year in […]
