With the start of the third quarter of 2023, I am struck by the tremendous opportunities for investors from the different high-yield categories. Business operations are stable to growing, yields are fantastic, and share values remain below historical norms. Investors who get into these categories now will be thrilled over the next few years. Here […]
I just pulled up a chart of the 10-year treasury yield and it’s showing a trend break that we haven’t seen since the 80s. That’s a 40-year trend now broken! It’s telling as it gives us a glimpse into what the future economic picture might look like in America. In my short 3-minute weekly video, […]
Today we’re going to talk about “shareholder yield” and other things that will help you be a better investor (read: make more money)… We’ll cover value investing, diversification, foreign stocks, and more. And I’m doing it all with fellow value-oriented quant, Meb Faber of Cambria Investments. I’ve known Meb for years, and believe me when […]
I always find the oil industry interesting… For instance, did you know that unconventional oil production – U.S. shale – was the only source of growth in global oil supply over the last 12 years? The only growing non-OPEC basin is the Permian Basin in West Texas. Never before has global oil supply growth been […]
Many expect that hydrogen can and will be a carbon-free substitute for natural gas. My research shows that existing manufacturers and energy midstream companies could handle much of the transition. These facts heighten the long-term investment potential of the companies that will produce and deliver hydrogen to utility companies. Let’s talk about what “green hydrogen” […]
Sometimes large block options trades can leave you scratching your head. For example, why would Nikola (NKLA), a publicity- challenged electric truck company, have a 50,000-lot 3-way spread trade in its options? After all, the stock is only trading around $1 per share. It looks like this could be a cheap put spread collar for […]
The 2022 bear market took the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector down, along with the broader stock market. Most of the stock market bottomed in October 2022, but has recovered a significant portion of the bear market losses. REITs have not participated in the recent market gains, with share prices remaining near their 18-month […]
The stock market offers pockets of opportunity in sectors that combine a decent dividend yield with a good quality business. In other words, growth and income. One such sector is the pharmaceuticals sector, which overall has lagged the S&P 500 in the past five years, although not by much. There are, no doubt, some world-class […]
Due to the collapse of multiple banks in March, we’ve seen regional banks stay depressed in pricing. There’s been little pop back to the upside. And, as more people wake up to the fact that keeping your money in low-interest checking accounts isn’t smart… We could keep seeing more deposits flee the small banks. However […]
Fortunes are going to be made in the oil and gas business over the next decade. The uncomfortable truth that we cannot convert to 100% renewable energy on the timetable currently being touted is beginning to sink in for those who are blessed with a modicum of common sense. Politicians and activists will take longer. […]
