I recently made a shrewd investment. It wasn’t stocks, cryptos or even options. It was a Hyundai Elantra. I know, I know — it’s unheard of for a gas-guzzling car, notorious for depreciating in value, to be an investment. But the fact is, when I parted ways with my Elantra, I received 90% of what I paid for it off the lot. That’s crazy! I have the global chip shortage to thank for setting me up with this sweet deal. You may have heard about the chip shortage… But you may not realize what’s happening behind the scenes. The Chip[…]

Here For The Boos — I Mean, News Well, Great Ones, another week is in the books. September has come and gone — we can wake up Billie Joe now — and by golly, spooky season is nigh. Welcome to October!

What’s The Deal With Albemarle? I’m so happy, ‘cause today I found my kicks … at Great Stuff Picks. I’m so ugly, that’s okay ‘cause I’m in print … and some of you squint. Light my candles in a daze with Albemarle (NYSE: ALB)! Yeah, yeah! Oh, I get it! “Lithium” by Nirvana because Albemarle mines lithium. Ha… Right you are, Ken. It’s safe to say that energy storage will be one of the biggest — if not the biggest — investment opportunities of this century. I’m not joking. There’s a sea change going on in energy storage right now,[…]

Ted held a LIVE YouTube event on Friday, October 1, 2021. The topic? The biggest threats facing the markets. Investors endured a series of shocks the last two weeks of September. Evergrande.

I’m lovin’ it! Seriously. As of September 7 in El Salvador, you can purchase your McDonald’s Happy Meal with bitcoin. That’s right. El Salvador became the first country to make bitcoin legal tender. This means that any Salvadorian business must accept bitcoin as payment for goods and services if a customer wants. This announcement originally came out in June but went into effect this month. And it officially crosses off one of Paul’s 2021 predictions! As of writing, El Salvador has bought 700 bitcoins. That’s around $29.4 million, with bitcoin hovering around $42K. This is exciting news. As you know,[…]

I love researching the stocks you all submit for my Quick Takes videos… If you’re new to True Options Masters, my weekly Quick Takes videos are where I break down a company solely on its price chart, and look for a potential trade setup. After all, price is what we base our returns on. That makes it the most important element to look at. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see what people are most interested in trading. And it’s even better to know that once I send out my video, someone out there is getting a thorough look at their favorite ideas. (Do you[…]

No Easy Way Out The bull market’s not indestructible. Baby, better see that clear. I think it’s unbelievable, how you give into the hands of fear. Some things are worth investing in. Some profits never die. I’m not asking for another bull market. I just wanna know why! There’s no easy way out! There’s no shortcut home, Great Ones. And when the bottom finally drops out of this market, you need to be there ready to buy. But that’s not today… Today’s market sell-off isn’t the greatest sell-off in the world … no, this is just a tribute. So, why[…]

Global governments’ involvement in crypto is diverging. On one hand, developing countries are rushing to adopt crypto. These countries see crypto adoption as a pathway to a brighter future. El Salvador is already accepting bitcoin as legal tender… Cuba made bitcoin and altcoins legal for commercial transactions and investments… Ukraine just passed a law to make bitcoin legal tender by the start of 2023… And other countries like Panama could soon follow. On the other hand, countries like the United States and China have been trying to curb cryptocurrencies. These countries view crypto adoption as a threat to their financial[…]
