Infinite Momentum: A Strategy to Build Your Nest Egg By 300%

March 2018… I’m sitting across a table from Adam O’Dell. We’re at the Starbucks on the bottom floor of my office building. I order a large coffee. Adam doesn’t order anything. He doesn’t need to. He’s already alert and ready to go. “What do you want to meet about?” Adam is only in town for a short stay. So, he’s all business. I tell him: “I just acquired a company called Money & Markets. I want to build a stock rating system, better than any other one out there. And a few investment services. I need someone to run it.[…]

New AI Algorithm Helps You Climb the “Profit Mountain”

Looking for the all-time, best-of-the-best investment returns? Look no further than Renaissance Technologies. If you put just $5,000 into its Medallion Fund when it was founded in 1988, then never touched it, you’d have $304 million today. That’s what you get when you compound your money at 37% a year for 35 straight years. RenTech is the tippy top of the hedge fund world. The peak of Profit Mountain. For the kind of person who’s allowed to invest (it’s a short list), it doesn’t get any better. And its methods for achieving these returns are completely unlike what most hedge[…]

How the Federal Reserve Could Spark a Stock Buying Frenzy

Part of the Federal Reserve’s job is to hurt some people. Of course, that’s not in the official job description of Fed officials. (It’s the quiet part that we aren’t supposed to say aloud.) The official job description is to pursue policy targeting stable prices and maximum sustainable employment. This means that the Fed always wants some number of people to be unemployed. Ideally, the number of unemployed is low. But if that number is too low, employers are forced to raise wages to attract new workers. Higher wages increase inflation. Low unemployment can result in unstable prices and unsustainable[…]

EVs to Save the U.S. Economy?

How much did it take to fill up your gas tank this week? $50 … $60 … $80 or more? The price of oil is on the rise, but so are sales on electric vehicles. Last year, EV sales (as a percentage of new car sales) grew from 2.2% to 6.1%… That’s 3 million EVs on the road. California alone accounts for over 40% of all electric cars sold. Automakers like GM, KIA and BMW are starting to catch on by adding EVs and hybrids to their lineups, rolling tax credits into their leases and even slashing prices. I rented[…]

Bitcoin (BTC) vs. Ethereum (ETH): The Next TOP Crypto Is…

I’ve been saying this for years… Ethereum (ETH) will one day be the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world. It will even surpass bitcoin (BTC)… And that makes it the #1 crypto to buy. I believe Ethereum is going to reach $3,000 per token by the end of this year. It will eventually surpass BTC in market value. Here are two major reasons why: Regulations Are Going to Clear Things Up When it comes to the crypto market at large, it looks like we’re going to get much more regulatory clarity this year.

This Systematic Trading Strategy Beat the S&P 300-to-1

Early in my career, I traded for two multimillionaire hedge fund guys — let’s call them “Nate” and “Chad.” These two men were instrumental in showing me how to make money in the market. But they couldn’t have been more different in their approach. Nate was, in a word, neurotic. He frequently pulled all-nighters to consume reams of global news stories… Using them to guide hair-trigger impulses on leveraged currency trades. Nate’s wins were mind-blowingly big, but rare. Losses were common — some small, some large. His account swung up and down like a two-year-old’s mood, and it was impossible[…]

Structured Notes: A Money Drainer That’s Trapping the Masses

All investors eventually consider income. But it’s often when they’re older. They may discover that Social Security is lacking. Then they realize their nest egg isn’t big enough. These realizations can lead investors to form bad decisions which are all too common. That’s because receiving sufficient income requires large amounts of capital. For example, if you want $1,000 a month, you need $300,000 in Treasurys earning 4%. Many, probably most, investors don’t have that much. Realizing they don’t have enough capital, investors tend to look for alternatives. One alternative known as structured notes has gained popularity in the past few[…]
