Did Somebody Say “Blue Light Special?” Great Ones, we’ve long talked up the average consumer’s willingness to overspend like no tomorrow. You might fancy yourself a thrifty shopper, but c’mon: Who doesn’t at least shell out for the good frozen pizza every once in a while? No? Call it a willingness, call it an active addiction … inflation has certainly made it difficult to “treat yourself,” however your budget defines that. (Especially with, you know … the sheer cost of existing.) But hey now, my fellow penny pinchers and coupon clippers: Discount sales are headed your way! Just … not[…]

Back in the day, bars used to serve free lunches. However, there was a catch… The food was loaded with salt. Customers who ate the salty free lunch needed to buy beers to quench their thirst. The customers ended up spending a lot more for the beers than the lunch cost the owner. So, the free lunch wasn’t really free. In 1975, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman wrote the book: There’s No Such Thing As a Free Lunch. It’s been out of print for a while. Copies of the book that are around today can sell for $800. The book[…]

Many individual investors model their trading strategy off Warren Buffett.The “Invest like Buffett” plan goes like this… (Somehow) find stocks like Buffett Buy and hold those stocks for 50 years Become a billionaire This plan is not for me.For one, I’m not patient enough to hold something for 50 years.But more importantly, I don’t need to.I can profit off Buffett’s moves in much shorter time, by simply paying attention.Buffett is the biggest money on Wall Street. As far back as the 1800s, following the Big Money has been key to a successful trading strategy.With the right technical indicator, you can[…]

Spirits Having Flown I never fell in love so easily. Where the four winds blow, Wall Street carries on. I’d like to take you where my Spirit flies. Through the empty skies, we invest alone… Hmmm. Don’t tell me — I got this. Bee Gees, right? Is it “Spirits Having Flown” … from the (criminally underrated) album Spirits Having Flown? Congrats, well done. What was your first hint? I kid, I kid. Like Grandpa trying to find the lost Clive Cussler novel he lost somewhere between Terminals A and C … the Great Stuff gang was searching ‘round the market[…]

Who Will Save Your Lungs? The FDA’s living its life for you on TV. It says the Juul’s no good for you, and you agree. It says: “Hold those vape sales or wind up behind brick walls.” Says: “Come here, Altria, don’t care if you agree.” Another doctor’s bill, a lawyer’s bill. And here you are — just tryin’ to get your thrill. You know you love it if you put it in your chest, but who will save your lungs? Oh, good one, Great Stuff. You would play some bastardized Jewel to talk about the FDA banning concerning vape[…]

My son is in the midst of what parents aptly dub the “terrible twos.” He’s still months away from actually turning two. But that doesn’t hold him back at all. On the one hand, he’s teething, cranky and clingy. The next moment, he’s sweet and cuddly, loving and curious. Over the course of an hour, he has so many mood swings that I nearly have whiplash. It’s not unlike watching the crypto market over the past month. A brief relief rally had kicked off on Tuesday. But by Wednesday morning, bitcoin had slipped under $20,000 again as recession fears revived[…]

Anyway, Here’s Great Stuff Today, Great Ones, is the day we’re gonna throw it back to you. By now, you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do… Don’t worry, it’s not a rousing chorus of “Wonderwall.” But feel free to sing along at home — I can’t stop you there. (And yes, maybe I’m still singing along in my head. I said maybe…) Anyway, like I said, today’s Great Stuff is all about you, Great Ones. Me? Little ol’ not-so-humble me? Oh, the very same! If you remember last Wednesday — lol, as if — we put out a poll[…]

“George.” “George…” “GEORGE!” I can’t tell you how many times a day this happens. I’ll try to get the attention of my youngest son, while he’s completely oblivious to anything occurring around him. It always happens when his eyes are fixated on his iPad, watching YouTube videos. He refuses to see or hear anything else going on around him. I get a sense that investors are going through the same thing … absolutely locked on to what the CNBC talking heads are saying about this bear market. We seek comfort in hearing explanations behind every daily gyration in the stock[…]

There’s no denying it — crypto is getting hammered. In fact, its total market cap has fallen 67% from its November 2021 peak. That’s much steeper than the Nasdaq’s 34% pullback. But there’s an advantage to today’s low prices: They’re the perfect way to build up long-term positions. Right now, you should be using crypto’s weakness as a buying opportunity. After all, we’ve seen a similar scenario play out before. Last decade, one asset class struggled just as much as crypto is now. Then a catalyst sent a flood of investment into this space. If you want to see what[…]
