When the stock market goes into a bear market, it drags down almost every stock. Sound, profitable companies see their shares driven down right alongside the perhaps more deserving stocks that may have been overvalued. If you understand how a company operates and the concept of relative valuations, you can, during a bear market, find […]
Energy. Every aspect of our lives requires some form of energy, from transportation, to the growing of food, to powering your Facebook feed. For example, the internet is forecast to soon consume one-fifth of all the world’s electricity. The recent double whammy of pandemic restrictions and sanctions on Russia has revealed how fragile the global […]
The wealth destruction this year experienced by investors who held the hot stocks of 2021 has been brutal. A recent Wall Street Journal email noted how investors have now changed strategies in response – better late than never. But if you really want to see long-term success in the rising-interest rate, high inflation, expensive-commodity era […]
Last week, I told my premium subscribers to get out of a stock that had been panic-sold two months earlier. By understanding exactly what was going on, we avoided the panic-triggered losses and sold at a price 130% above the selloff low.

However, it’s not that simple, and investors often get burned chasing […]
The crash last week of Netflix Inc. (NFLX) shows how badly investors in growth stocks can get hurt when the music stops. The Netflix debacle shows that if you are investing for price appreciation, you need to have an exit plan or alternative strategy. And that’s true not only of tech stocks, but of any […]
Investors regularly ask me about the two great fears of today: rising interest rates and a potential economic recession. While a recession may not happen, interest rates will definitely continue to move higher. So let me tell you about one type of stock, with a couple of recommendations that will be good investments for both […]
I get a lot of questions about investing to beat or mitigate inflation. I think that is the wrong way to think about your investment strategies. While inflation is a consideration, your investment choices should generate steady returns to help offset the rising cost of living. One concept to grasp is that the effect of […]
Last week, AT&T (T) spun off Warner Media. Now, I’ve recommended AT&T in my The Dividend Hunter service since November 2020. The dividends since then have been great. But now that the spin-off is done, it’s time to evaluate the prospects of both companies. My subscribers are ready for some share price appreciation to counter […]
