A recent article about a liquified natural gas (LNG) ship caught my attention and made me think about investments that take advantage of this one ship’s dilemma. Recently, Bloomberg reported that a sanctioned Russian LNG carrier ship almost circumnavigated the world looking for a buyer for the LNG on board. The ship was at sea […]
A recent article highlighted the trend of the number of publicly traded companies shrinking and the rocketing number of private companies. Instead of looking for a big IPO payday, company founders and their private equity partners are choosing to stay private and keep profits to themselves.

When the coronavirus pandemic-related shutdowns hit the economy, EPR Properties (EPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT), was possibly the hardest-hit stock in the U.S. It is a testament to the management team’s talents that EPR has again become an REIT that every income-focused investor should know. Before the pandemic, EPR was an income machine. […]
In my free weekly video, I have an interesting chart to show you. Over 20+ years, the S&P 500 has a historical pattern of how it performs in November and December.

I just stumbled on a stock that’s outperforming its sector and the S&P 500! The sector is down 13%… this stock is up 18%… S&P 500 has sunk 24%… again, this stock has stayed strong at 18%. It pays a dividend and the stock looks like it can still break higher even as markets hit […]

“Trade with the trend” is a common phrase used by traders. Meaning, only trade in the direction of the current trend i.e. if stocks are going up, only trade long… if stocks are going down, make bearish trades. I agree for the most part. But, as you’ve noticed in the last couple weeks… bear market […]
One way to increase your cash flow from owning stocks is to write an in-the-money- covered call on a dividend stock. Last week, a trader sold a call on AT&T (T) that was below the stock price and doesn’t expire until next January. The purpose of the trade is to collect premium from the call […]
Once a popular meme stock, Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY) could be in trouble. The stock price has recently shot higher on news that insiders are buying the shares. However, a large purchase of put options that expire in January of 2024 suggests there could be significant downside in the stock. This put position will […]
After some bearish behavior in early May… We’ve seen a snapback rally to close out the month… but how high could this rally go? I’ve seen this type of pattern happen many times in my career.
