Have you ever come across a mortgage lender that has been in business for over a decade, and never foreclosed on a property? Well, now you have. Due to the conservative lending policies of Manhattan Bridge Capital (LOAN), the company has never foreclosed on a property in its over 15-year history. Manhattan Bridge is what […]
Is the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) finally a better buy…? That’s what I’d like to address with you all today. It’s been a long time since bond yields have been racing higher, and thanks to a hawkish Fed this past week, that’s exactly what’s happening. Which brings me to my main point […]
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.

EBIX has seen its options premiums elevate after missing earnings a couple weeks […]
During my entire 35+ year career, Latin American markets have been something of a mess. There have been flashes of greatness, but inevitably, something happens to send the market spiraling lower once again. In other words, Latin American countries have been emerging markets that never emerged. I can go through example after example, but then […]
In June, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil traded in the mid-$60s. Three months later, it’s pushing $95 per barrel, with market expectations that it will soon be above $100. Due to the lag between business results and the quarterly earnings reports, it’s not too late to jump on some energy stocks for their upcoming […]
Our colleague, Tim Plaehn, wrote an interesting article this week titled: “Here’s how to profit off the gasoline price spike.” In case you haven’t noticed, the price of gasoline at the pump has been going up lately. According to AAA, a gallon of gasoline is $3.88—its highest level since October 2022. One reason for the […]
Lately, I’ve really been liking the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY). The SHY ETF tracks and represents the performance of the U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities between one and three years.
