This Is One Race I鈥檓 Willing to Bet On

I enjoy a friendly wager as much as the next guy. I鈥檓 not talking about serious gambling, though when we invest we do make a 鈥渂et鈥 on stocks that we expect will be worth more in the future. But when we invest, research, analysis, and experience tip the odds much more in our favor than betting on who will win the Super Bowl. I鈥檓 talking about a friendly bet on a game or at the golf course. I鈥檓 a huge sports fan. I have been as long as I can remember, from my days growing up in Philadelphia through my time as a college athlete right up to the present. Longtime readers know how thrilled I was last fall to realize my dream of becoming a Philadelphia 76ers season ticket holder 鈥 and then how disappointed I was when the pandemic brought the season to a screeching halt in March.

Weekly Upgrades and Downgrades

During these busy times, it pays to stay on top of the latest profit opportunities. And today's blog post should be a great place to start. After taking a close look at the latest data on institutional buying pressure and each company's fundamental health, I decided to revise my Portfolio Grader recommendations for 66 big blue chips. Chances are that you have at least one of these stocks in your portfolio, so you may want to give this list a skim and act accordingly.

I鈥檓 Prepared for Whatever The Market Throws At Us. Are You?

The Nasdaq finished today in the red, marking the first time the tech-heavy index has experienced consecutive down sessions in more than 50 days. But guess what? That鈥檚 okay! We鈥檒l take a closer look at the recent market action in today鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine, including why I believe a pullback of up to 7% is possible. I鈥檒l also tell you why I do not plan to sell anything in the potential weakness鈥 and instead am working on my watchlist of stocks to buy. Then, I dive into the chart of the week. You may be surprised to learn what sector is breaking out to a new all-time high. I鈥檒l give you a hint: It has to do with the flight to the 鈥榖urbs. Speaking of breakouts, the action we鈥檝e seen in bitcoin this week could be the start of what I believe is crypto鈥檚 next huge leg higher.

The Dark Pool 鈥 A Market Anomaly to Make You Rich

If you鈥檙e a member of one of my investing services or a regular MoneyWire reader, you know that I go after big profits over the long term. I dig deep for the best companies driving and benefiting from unstoppable hypergrowth trends taking us into the future, and then I stay with them unless the reason we invested to begin with changes. (I just talked about this strategy in more detail a few days ago.) Investing for the long term has made a lot of people a lot of money 鈥 my own subscribers included. But that doesn鈥檛 mean there isn鈥檛 a place in the investment world for short-term traders. My friend Stefanie Kammerman is the perfect example of this. She鈥檚 built her fortune on trading what are called the 鈥淒ark Pools."

Gold Isn鈥檛 the Safe Haven You Think It Is

Is gold a buy today? The yellow metal continues to run to multi-year highs. So is it too late? Or should you consider silver? Then you must wonder if it鈥檚 better to own the miners of the precious metals鈥 or the actual metal鈥 or what about an ETF? So many questions about gold and silver are top of mind for investors right now. And it only gets more complicated when you add cryptocurrencies, copper, and other metals into the mix. During a time when central banks around the world are keeping interest rates near record lows and currencies are being 鈥減rinted鈥 to pay for stimulus, it makes sense that commodities are an attractive investment option. That鈥檚 why I recorded a special episode of MoneyLine today. I share my specific thoughts on gold, silver, bitcoin and altcoins, the miners, copper, and even uranium stocks!

Here鈥檚 Why You Should Never Use a Stop-Loss Order

I get this question all the time. When I recommend a stock, I often get asked at what level should a stop-loss order be set? At what price? Or at what percentage pullback? My answer is always the same鈥 do not set one. Nearly every investment professional will tell you that it is imperative to use a stop-loss order to protect yourself from sudden losses. I completely disagree. And I have the perfect example that proves why my strategy works. I recommended Livongo Health (LVGO) to my Early Stage Investor subscribers exactly 11 months ago today 鈥 on August 21, 2019. The stock has since climbed more than 220% from our buy price around $35, while the S&P 500 is up a mere 11.4% during the same timeframe. That鈥檚 unbelievable outperformance鈥 but it wasn鈥檛 a smooth ride.

This Investment is on Fire Right Now

When we made the turn into the second half of the year, I had a little fun and went back to look at my predictions for 2020. I confess that a global pandemic was not on the list, so I cringed a bit when I opened the list. I didn鈥檛 need to. I must say, they were pretty darned good for the halfway point of a crazy year. We鈥檒l talk more about all of them another time, but the one I want to highlight today was prediction #6. The 2020 IPO market will be both a boom and a bust. Correct. But you might not be hearing as much about IPOs as you are about SPACs, which are a kind of IPO. SPACS are on fire right now. I suspect you鈥檙e not be as familiar with them, so let鈥檚 talk about what they are and what you need to know鈥 If I asked you to name the hottest investments in the stock market right now, you would probably say biotechnology, 5G, or artificial intelligence.

The Decade of Biotech is Proving Strong 鈥 and We鈥檙e Only Six Months In

It鈥檚 a perfect time to get in touch with the latest episode of MoneyLine, as a mixed market this week has opened up a slew of investment opportunities. The tech-heavy Nasdaq pulled back slightly, even after hitting a new all-time high on Monday. On the other hand, the Dow and S&P 500 closed out the week鈥檚 trading with gains. So in today鈥檚 podcast, I break down what we鈥檙e seeing in the market and talk about some specific stocks that have dipped in the action. There is a clear pattern forming for several high-flying tech stocks. We鈥檙e seeing some weakness that pushed these companies to 鈥渟creaming buy鈥 levels. And for those of you wondering鈥 YES, I name names! Before we get to that, I provide a quick update on the COVID-19 vaccine race.

The Best Way to Invest in the Latest Smartphone Craze May Surprise You

They鈥檙e back鈥 The circulating rumors. The leaked photos. Entire websites devoted to the newest look, features, and potential bugs. I鈥檓 talking about the anticipation and buzz for the next generation of smartphones. As we鈥檝e been talking about here in MoneyWire, these phones will be foldable. The foldable phone frenzy is officially underway in the media, and it鈥檚 setting up a huge opportunity for early investors. Today, only about one half of one percent (0.05%) of the world鈥檚 population uses foldable phones. But ultimately, 3.2 billion smartphones will be replaced by foldables. I predict the industry will grow 5,500% in a few years to reach $13.8 billion! The buzz surrounding foldable phones reminds me of what new smartphone releases used to be like.

7 Reasons the 鈥淔ountain of Youth鈥 is Possible With Modern Medical Science

If there鈥檚 one thing all humans want, it鈥檚 more time for our families and our passions. We buy millions of health books each year. We spend fortunes on anti-aging products and treatments. And hundreds of years ago, people (supposedly) quested for a 鈥淔ountain of Youth.鈥 But it wasn鈥檛 until 20 years ago that we had any real idea of how to promote longevity. In the new millennium, there鈥檚 been an explosion in knowledge and clinical data, yielding huge advances in stem cell treatments鈥 cell restoration鈥 genetic editing鈥 and so much more. If longevity science can get us even a fraction of the way there, it鈥檚 one of your best investment opportunities today. Actually, it could be one of the biggest investment opportunities of the century.

How to Make Big Money By Spotting the Big Money鈥 in 鈥淒ark Pools鈥

抖阴最新版 four years ago in Las Vegas, I was doing a live broadcast with Stefanie Kammerman. I had just met Stefanie, and I can clearly remember her telling me live on air to keep an eye on the gold sector of the markets. It was about to go up, she said. Well, I was more than a little skeptical. Gold had been going straight down for several years. And if you know me at all, you know I wasn鈥檛 shy about letting Stefanie know. But sure enough, virtually right after our interview, gold took off just like she said it would. A lot of people who follow her work saw the chance for amazing gains as the price of gold soared to a new three-year high. Almost no one else saw this coming. Not too long after that, much the same scenario played out again.

I鈥檝e Got the Latest on the Hottest Investments In the Market Right Now

The first full week of the third quarter was fairly quiet after the fireworks that took over the first half of the year. The S&P 500 finished with a small weekly gain as it continues to consolidate. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq hit yet another all-time high today as tech stocks remain strong. In this week鈥檚 episode of MoneyLine, I break down the action in the market and, more importantly, look ahead at what to expect over the next few months. First up is the second-quarter earnings season, which gets underway next week. It could be a catalyst for several big moves 鈥 in either direction. The rise in COVID-19 cases is worrisome, but I look at herd immunity and have a positive view on the current numbers.

Have You Seen This Big Scandal With the Postal Service?

Last week, I mentioned that one of my hottest recommendations was going after a lucrative contract with the United States Postal Service, which is planning to drop $6.3 billion to modernize its fleet. The stock is Workhorse Group (WKHS), and it rocketed 7X higher on the electric truck craze. My subscribers have locked in average gains of 385% on two-thirds of our initial position 鈥 in less than two months! After a huge expos茅 from Vice, it looks like USPS is now under even MORE pressure to get new electric versions of its trucks on the roads. Tuesday鈥檚 Vice article pretty much speaks for itself: Hundreds of the iconic Post Office delivery trucks have caught on fire in recent years, thanks to a 30-year-old fleet and a manufactured budget crisis.
