Today I want to take a little bit of a step back and talk about the potential for equities to have a very low-income environment for the next maybe 5-10 years. There are some very important reasons why this is going to be our opinion… watch the video to learn more.
Let’s say a successful coronavirus vaccine is created. Great, right? Yes, of course. But it turns out that is the easy part. The truly difficult task—global distribution of the vaccine—will still lie ahead..

Shares of Nike Inc. (NKE) exploded more than 12%, or $14.30 earlier this week. All after crushing earnings expectations. EPS of 95 cents easily beat expectations for 47 cents.

Simultaneously, the healthcare industry has committed many resources to fighting the virus, meaning individuals with other illnesses and afflictions may not be getting the care they need. The healthcare industry accounts for 17% of the U.S. […]
I gave myself a wake-up call. Our recent article “Thinking About Retiring? Better Think It Through!” was a jolt for sure. For decades the mantra was save money and grow your wealth. We banked on the “rule of 72”. When the accumulated interest equals 72, you would double your money. Earn 6%, in 12 years you will […]
One of the more interesting situations in the investing world over the last couple of months concerns the fate of TikTok, the video streaming app that is hugely popular among teens. This is a target market that most companies are dying to have access to. TikTok is owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance, which […]
Masayoshi’s Son’s Softbank (SFTBY) is in the news again…this time with a $40 billion cash-and-stock deal to sell its chip design architecture firm, ArmHoldings, to Nvidia (NVDA).
