Here is some investing truth: The reason so many investors get lousy market returns is because we let our biases influence our decisions. It turns out that the human brain is a marvelous tool for so many things but is a terrible tool for investing. Why? Because human beings make decisions based on our inherent biases about ourselves and the world around us 鈥� and not on the facts that really drive the market. Over the last several days, I鈥檝e been featuring essays by my friend Keith Kaplan. Keith has been telling his story about the amazing tool he uses that has signaled every major market move over the last 20 years. And a lot of that success comes from taking human biases out of the decision making鈥�

Get your pens and pads ready鈥� Today鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine is chock full of investing ideas and ticker symbols. I鈥檇 go so far as to say it鈥檚 one of the best shows in our short history. I kick off the episode with a discussion of the market, which rebounded this week after a quick pullback from recent high. A close look at the latest COVID-19 numbers shows a positive trend 鈥� despite what the media wants you to believe. I鈥檒l share the data with you that proves things are indeed improving. Then, I dive into the often-overlooked world of microcaps. Even with the overall stock market down since early February, my Microcap Millionaire Portfolio in Early Stage Investor is up about 45%!

The Dow lost 170 points yesterday. Even as markets have been largely positive this week, the volatility has continued and investors are staying vigilant in case more trouble is ahead. And Keith Kaplan has a tool to help. Today I鈥檓 happy to bring to you the second part of Keith鈥檚 amazing story. If you missed yesterday鈥檚 essay, Keith uses a revolutionary tool to get in front of major market moves 鈥� and the tool has been spot-on about this recent market鈥� as well as every major bear market AND bull market going back over the last two decades. Today he describes how this tool not only helps protect him from the market downside but signals him when to get back into the market to maximize the gains.

By now, we鈥檙e all familiar with how COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the markets. Last week, the Nasdaq was hitting all-time highs just three months after falling to unprecedented lows鈥� and then on Thursday the market fell more than 1,850 points in a single session. Just yesterday, good data on retail sales propelled the market up again more than 500 points. Regular MoneyWire readers know that I view crisis times like these as ones of tremendous opportunity. That鈥檚 why I want to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Keith Kaplan.聽 Keith has an amazing story to tell.聽He uses a revolutionary tool to get in front of major market moves 鈥� and the tool has been dead-on accurate about this recent market.

Whew. This week was a wild one. We started out with the Nasdaq climbing back to all-time highs 鈥� and above 10,000 for the time ever 鈥� just three months after falling to unprecedented lows as COVID-19 spread around the world. The Dow was back to within 7% of its own record鈥� but then it fell more than 1,850 points in a single session yesterday. Here we are one day later and stocks are bouncing again. Even after yesterday鈥檚 sell-off, the S&P 500 remains nearly 40% off its March lows.聽 Trading like this can really test an investors鈥� patience. I get that. So on this week鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine, I detail the volatility and discuss the best ways to handle the drastic ups and downs.

The stakes for getting this right could not be higher. COVID-19 has sickened more than seven million people around the world so far, and at least 405,400 people have lost their lives to the pandemic. Innovative biotechnology companies have stepped up to the plate and are racing to create what could become a life-saving treatment for hundreds of thousands in the form of a vaccine. I鈥檓 optimistic we could see one as soon as the end of the year. The speed with which vaccine efforts got underway shows how far science has come. Researchers are currently working on 224 candidates , according to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. 抖阴最新版 10 of those have advanced to human trials.

Insurance has been referred to as a 鈥渘ecessary evil.鈥� And for good reason. We pay money 鈥� sometimes a lot of money 鈥� but hope we never have to use it. Seems crazy, but on the rare occasion we do need it, we鈥檙e glad we have it. The right insurance can save us a lot of money鈥� and even save us from financial ruin. But鈥� wouldn鈥檛 it be better to be able to get insurance that protects our investments and can make us a lot of money? Now we鈥檙e talking. Here鈥檚 what you need to know鈥� Inflation is a silent portfolio killer. It is one of the greatest dangers a person saving for retirement faces. That鈥檚 why I recommend owning some 鈥渋nsurance鈥� against it 鈥� just in case things go haywire.

When I write to you about the Roaring 2020s and the coming technological breakthroughs, they all have one thing in common. The need for better batteries. Without better batteries that allow for longer driving ranges and more charges, it will be difficult if not impossible for electric vehicles (EVs) to replace gas-powered vehicles. Self-driving vehicles will be powered by batteries, and so will most of the other components 鈥� cameras, sensors, video screens, seats, and more. Healthcare will be transformed by wearable medical devices and even implantable devices that gather and transmit data in real time鈥� all of which will be powered by batteries. I could go on and on.

At the start of the COVID-19 crisis and the historic market sell-off, I laid out a Recovery Road Map that predicted how stocks would react throughout the pandemic. It was a four-phase process that I expected would play out over the following 12 to 18 months. Boy was I wrong鈥� but boy was I right, too! Less than three months after the indices crashed to unprecedented lows, the Nasdaq 100 reached a new all-time high today. That鈥檚 right, folks. We鈥檝e entered the final phase of recovery. The Recovery Road Map and the rapid return to all-time highs is my main area of focus in today鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine.

Take a moment and look around your home. I will guess you have at least one smartphone, a laptop computer, and probably an e-reader or two. I鈥檓 sure there are remote controls, smoke detectors, clocks and watches, small appliances, flashlights, maybe children鈥檚 toys, and your car outside your window. On some level, our daily lives all run on batteries. And a lot of them still use the lithium-ion technology introduced in 1980 by John Goodenough. Just last year, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for it. There have been improvements in size and density, but no revolutionary breakthroughs for the last 40 years鈥� Until now. At the age of 97, John Goodenough continues to work on the next battery technology.

America is starting to reopen. That鈥檚 good news, and something we need to talk about鈥� which is exactly why it鈥檚 the focus of today鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine. After months of shuttered businesses and 鈥渟helter in place鈥� orders, retailers are dusting off their storefronts and people are getting back out into the world 鈥� albeit cautiously. For the first time in months, restaurants near my Baltimore home will be allowed to offer services to guests as long as they sit outside. Selfishly, I鈥檓 excited to get back out there. But it also makes me smile to know that the service workers here in Baltimore and around the country are getting back to work.
