It Came From Planet Great Stuff I knew it came from there! It drove a Final Run Up … a-faster than the speed of liiiiiight. Planet Great Stuff might not have pink air like Planet Claire, but you will want to see what we do have there. Mark your calendars and stop all the clocks — just two days from now, we’re holding Great Stuff’s first-ever special event. Am … am I invited? Don’t be silly. You’ve got a front-row seat for this shebang. You’re a Great One, after all. There are just a couple of things to go over[…]

It’s time for another head-to-head survey, Bold Profits Nation! Jeff Bezos, the man behind Amazon and Blue Origin, once held the richest man in the world title. But not anymore… Thanks to Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk just surpassed him. Now, it’s a race to become the world’s first trillionaire. So, we want you to join us in placing a bet — who will reach $1 trillion first? By now, you know how we feel about Elon Musk’s companies (hint: we’re #BOP!). From Tesla to new energy to SpaceX, Elon’s already got the America 2.0 edge! But what do you[…]

What’s The Deal With Everything?!! Great Ones, the stock market has been weighed, it has been measured, and it has absolutely been found wanting. It’s no longer a matter of if a correction is coming, but when. The signs are all there: • Boatloads of money from the Federal Reserve. • Soaring inflation risks — even if they’re likely only short-term. • The Great Resignation. • The labor shortage. • Supply chain risks. • Soaring home prices on the verge of collapse. • Whatever the hell is going on in China. • The COVID-19 pandemic — no, it’s not over.[…]

Every so often, you see a news headline so absurd, so unbelievable, that you take a minute and blink. Or, at the very least, you check to see if it’s from The Onion. That happened to us this week when Martha Stewart announced the release of her very own line of nonfungible tokens (NFTs). These, as we’ve explained, are digital images recorded on the blockchain. The first batch included images of pumpkin carvings. Stewart told The Wall Street Journal: “I have been cool for a long time, but I’m even more cool now.” The Winning Investor Daily team couldn’t help[…]

Today’s Take: To make the biggest gains, you have to look at the bigger picture in the markets. If you want steady returns each and every month … don’t invest in stocks. In other words, if you like carousels and hate roller coasters, a savings account is the best investment you could make. But if you can live with the ups and downs of the stock market, higher returns are your reward. The best example of riding the stock market roller coaster is October 19, 1987. This Tuesday marked the 34th anniversary of Black Monday. And boy, do I remember[…]

Feelin’ Like A Freak On A Lease Feeling like I have no release… Sometimes I cannot take this place. Sometimes I need some office space. For all you non-Korn-fed Great Ones out there who also need some office space … WeWork is back. (Back again.) The would-be WeCompany has reentered the chat, going public via a SPAC after its ill-fated IPO imploded almost two years ago to the day. You’ve heard of software as a service. But WeWork offers space as a service — and no, not the “billionaire rocketeer” kind of space. The company leases flexible (read: expensive) office[…]

Johnson & Johnson’s Restaurant You can get anything you want at Johnson & Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) restaurant. Walk right in, it’s around the back, just a half a mile from the railroad track. You can get anything you want at Johnson & Johnson’s restaurant… Now, it all started 127 years ago — not on Thanksgiving — when Johnson & Johnson started selling baby powder made from crushed talc. Unfortunately for Johnson & Johnson … and Alice, for that matter … talc is frequently found in the earth right next to asbestos. Obviously, this raised some critical concerns, especially after it[…]

A term you hear thrown around a lot in the investing world is “venture capital.” Or “VC” for short. It’s just another way of saying early-stage investors. Venture capitalists can be either private or public, or individuals or a company. Regardless of who they are, they all invest in companies and ideas that they believe will be leaders in the future. By investing before the herd, VC has made HUGE gains. Especially in tech. For example: Early investors in Facebook would be up 933,766% today. And investors in Airbnb would be up 3,564,666%. Now, it’s easy to think that you’ve[…]

Let’s Go Bitcoin Crazy? Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing call “cryptocurrency.” An electric word, “cryptocurrency,” it means gains forever … and that’s a mighty long time. But I’m here to tell you there’s something else — the futures market. A world of never-ending happiness… OK, I can’t type that with a straight face. Thanks for the intro, Prince, but I’ll take it from here. So, in case you haven’t heard, cryptocurrencies are going back to the future … erm, futures. ProShares is launching a Bitcoin (BTC)-based ETF on Tuesday, October 19. That’s tomorrow[…]
