Last week, in our 48-Hour Income service, we sold a cash-secured put on software automation company UiPath (PATH). In 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. PATH was about to announce earnings that week, and its puts looked expensive. […]
It’s coming. You cannot stop it. The media cannot stop it by declaring it will not happen. The economy is going to slow down. A recession is still more likely than not. Even if the Fed stops raising rates (which is almost entirely dependent on energy and rent prices at this point), they will not […]
Last week, I went to fuel up my pickup truck and was shocked to see that gas prices had jumped overnight by $0.40 per gallon. Ouch! I started digging into the cause, looking for an investment angle. What I found reinforced my belief in what I think is one of the best investment opportunities in […]
It’s common knowledge on Wall Street that September has historically been a challenging month for stocks. In the 95 Septembers since 1928, the S&P 500 has closed down 52, more than in any other month, according to Yardeni Research.

Today I am excited to have fellow Investors Alley editor Jay Soloff on to talk about options and trading.

Full disclosure, I found this piece of research on Twitter from Bespoke, but it is incredibly fascinating nonetheless. It talks about there being […]
It is a confusing time for investors. For the last two years, market experts, forecasters, and pundits have been consistently wrong about the economy and the direction of the markets. Despite these issues, I am encouraged by the many opportunities available for investors to earn solid returns. But before I jump into some investment ideas […]
In today’s Hidden Profit Report, I want to revisit the concept of “Loving the Toxic.” The market is clearly overextended and overvalued right now. In fact, the reading on one of my favorite valuation measures, the Excess CAPE Yield, is now at levels seen in 1969 and 2000. Today’s economy and stock market have similarities […]
In our 48-Hour Income service last week, we sold a put on cybersecurity company, SentinelOne (S). In 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. S was about to announce earnings later in the week, and its puts looked expensive. […]
The bulk of stock market gains since last October are due to large price increases from a handful of large-cap, tech-focused stocks. But growth stocks like that have had their time in the sun. Let’s look at why value stocks could outperform in the future… According to Investopedia, growth stocks are shares of companies that […]
