I’ve found two opportunities for massive profits. Both are low-priced stocks that the market is ignoring and insiders are buying. Even better, both appear to have enough of a margin of safety in the balance sheet that we are not risking a permanent long-term loss of principal. In the normal course of business, both stocks […]
Rapid demand growth thanks to the energy transition away from fossil fuels could lead to a shortage of several metals over the next decade unless there’s more investment in the segment. This is according to the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC), a global group of power and industrial companies, consumers, financial institutions, and scientists. Large supply […]
Most of the time, preferred stock shares are pretty boring. However, the rapid increase in interest rates has turned a subset of the preferred universe into potentially outstanding investment opportunities. You could dig out the right preferred stocks yourself or invest in an ETF that does precisely that. Let me show you how to do […]

Currently, the gap in government borrowing costs between emerging markets and U.S. Treasuries is at its best level since 2000. The reason is that investors are pricing in […]
Before we start off the month of August, I feel like it’s important to remind my listeners and readers of the extremely juicy yields that are currently available in the bond market. When looking at the chart for the 6-month U.S. government Treasury note yield, you can see it’s currently yielding at 5.4%. What does […]
Today, I have an idea that capitalizes on one of the most important trends in the world. While a lot of us love to hear politicians promise a bright green future with no oil and gas, the truth is that’s not happening any time soon. I touch on the reason it cannot happen and discuss […]
Japanese automakers, such as Honda Motor (HMC) and Toyota Motor Corporation (TM), have long been seen as laggards in move toward electric vehicles (EVs).
