Inflation is eating into earnings, and buying power. But this holiday the kids still want that new TV to play their new video games on, so what’s a parent to do? If they still want to deliver that cheery smile from their kids, but the dollar needs to stretch a bit this holiday season, then […]
I view liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the most critical energy source for the future. A recent report forecasts that LNG demand growth will continue to at least 2040 and double from current production levels. Several stocks let you participate in the attractive growth potential. VettiFi recently interviewed Stifel managing director Ben Nolan to discuss […]
You may have seen the recent headlines around Chevron’s (CVX – Get Rating) purchase of Hess (HES – Get Rating) or Exxon’s (XOM – Get Rating) big merger with Pioneer (PXD – Get Rating). Splashy headlines, and lots of CNBC interviews, but those deals will likely take years to integrate and the CVX/HES deal in particular may take a lot longer to be profitable. I prefer less “splash” and more […]
Investors tend to take one particular U.K.-based electric utility for granted. Its history of predictable and defensive returns has long made it a no-brainer for income investors. Its dividend, which grows in line with inflation, has not been cut since 1996. Let’s take a look to see if it’s worth your time… The company I’m […]
Hey folks, I wanted to take a second to remind everyone of the reward-to-risk we see in the equity market. Looking at a basic chart of the S&P 500, you’ll quickly notice that it hasn’t done anything in two years. And it’s remained flat since February of this year. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised […]

The preferred strategy used by most professionals is to find a stock moving higher, buy it, and well it even higher. When you think about it, this […]
In my 48 Hour Income service, a trade we considered, but ultimately did not place, was in Replimune (REPL) options. For 48-Hour Income, the goal of the service is to generate 1% to 3% returns per week by selling 2-day puts in certain stocks. REPL is a biotech company working on cancer treatment. Although put […]
In late September/early October, the NextEra Energy Partners (NEP) share price crashed after the company revised its dividend growth forecast. Last week, the company its reported third-quarter earnings, giving a better picture of its financial health. And far from being a disaster, what I’m seeing is a huge buying opportunity. Let me show you why… […]
With positive noise around a possible resolution of the automobile workers (UAW) strike, it isn’t a bad time to start looking at auto related names. I’m not as excited about the automakers themselves, as they are going to have higher costs related to labor moving forward. But, auto suppliers who were beaten down both in […]
It is well-known that investing into fixed income instruments has been a losers’ game ever since the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates. 2022 was the worst-ever year on record for U.S. bond investors, according to an analysis by Edward McQuarrie, a professor emeritus at Santa Clara University who studies historical investment returns. And the […]
