After a wonderful 2021 for stock investors, the last two years have been rough, to say the least. The next sustained bull market seems to remain in the unknown future. So let’s look at a couple of market strategies that have worked and will do so no matter how the stock market goes… It is […]
Last week, in my 48-Hour Income service, we sat on our hands. First off, 48-Hour Income is a cash secured put selling service where the goal is to generate 1% to 3% returns per week.

Markets have taken a turn in recent weeks. The short to intermediate term is down for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. Meanwhile, the short, medium, and long-term trends have all turned negative for the Russell 2000 in the past month. Microcap cap stocks have been in a downtrend since earlier this year and […]
Crude oil is trading near a 10-month high at $95 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, has gained roughly 30% since June. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, is on pace for its fourth consecutive weekly gain, and is up about 27% this quarter, pushing gasoline prices to an 11-month high. And […]
My newsletter investment recommendations focus on dividend or interest-paying securities. I prefer alternative asset categories for investments that don’t generate cash income. I recently started investing in casks of whiskey to earn returns from the natural value gains as whiskey ages. Let me show you why this is such an interesting way to invest… When […]
