Life By The Drop Hello there, my old friend — Wall Street’s calling for the bull market end! We traded outside in the tech gains. With 2021, the market started over again. We’re living a dream — oh, we’re on top. Portfolio’s aching, and Lord, it won’t stop. Great Ones … that’s how it happens living life by the drop. The market’s been crazy lately, and judging by our inbox, some of y’all are feeling more than a little pain. Maybe you’ve felt like Great One Carolyn C. did here last week: I’m somewhat new to investing; however, I do[…]

You may think that the company with the most advanced self-driving car is Tesla, Google’s Waymo or General Motors’ Cruise. That might be true. However, only one company currently sells semi-autonomous cars … and it isn’t in the U.S. Japanese automaker Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) announced its self-driving Honda Legend on Thursday. It’s the first government-certified car to offer level 3 automation, which means the vehicle can fully operate without a driver — although only in certain situations. Honda’s Sensing Elite technology isn’t advanced enough yet to navigate busy city intersections. Instead, it’s designed to take over during[…]

Reddit’s Roaring Rocket Howdy, Great Ones! Are you ready for another foray into the great wide open? Today, we’re talking “meme” stocks again. Specifically, Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), the parent company of Rocket Mortgage, Rocket Loans and Quicken Loans. Now, as we all know, mortgages and loans are terribly exciting — emphasis on the terrible. If you could found a business on watching paint dry or grass grow, it’d be more exciting than investing in the mortgage and loan business. Case in point: RKT went public in September. Despite all the hype surrounding the Rocket Loans app and how easy[…]

Wall Street firms spend millions of dollars on research. They send analysts to visit companies, who then build complex models estimating sales, costs and profits. These models are the basis of the firms’ price estimates for a company’s stock. This process assumes that prices are based on fundamentals, and that investors are sensible enough to only buy stocks that are fundamentally undervalued. However, the chart below of Signal Advance Inc. (OTC: SIGL) argues against this idea. And it reveals that investors are certainly not rational. SIGL’s Unreasonable Spike in January I don’t know what Signal Advance does. And it’s likely[…]

Whether you’re an everyday investor or a Wall Street pro, the hardest part about investing has always been deciding when to sell. And with today’s political uncertainty and fast-paced tech developments — not to mention a global pandemic — making investment decisions is more difficult than ever. That’s why TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan and his team created the Stock State Indicator (SSI). It’s a simple tool that tells you exactly when to buy, hold or sell your shares: The indicator helped Keith avoid huge losses in the March 2020 stock market crash when his system flashed red (“sell”) on February[…]

Friday Four Play: The “Ain’t That the Dickens?” Edition It is the best of economies. It is the worst of economies. It is a season of much-anticipated growth. It is a season of much-feared loss… Great Ones, if it sounds like we’re stuck in Charles Dickens novel, it’s because — maybe we are. Wall Street faces both the potential for emerging from the COVID-19 nightmare and the possibility that a full recovery could still take months longer than expected. This uncertainty is largely factored into the broader market, but for many companies, the proof is in the pudding … or[…]

We’re at a tipping point in multiple areas of the world — especially China and the U.S. — where self-driving vehicles are quickly becoming a reality. This is setting up an opportunity for investors to make big gains … if they invest in the right areas of this fast-growing market. Major companies in China and the U.S. have already gotten the green light to launch their operations commercially, so this is the perfect time to invest in self-driving vehicles. In today’s Market Insights video, I discuss three ways you can profit from the future of transportation. (If you’d prefer to[…]
