There has been one very apparent trend since late October 2022. Following more than a decade of outperformance, global stocks have been consistently outpacing U.S. stocks. There are several reasons for this. But one major factor is the shift away from growth stocks—an area where the U.S. dominates—to value stocks. It looks to me that […]
Today I want to continue introducing you to some of the greatest investors around today and show you what stocks they expect to provide outsized returns in 2023 and beyond. This same idea has been written about in all sorts of financial media publications and discussed to death on cable TV financial programs. It happens […]
Medallion Financial (MFIN) is a credit services company that made its name through taxi medallion financing in New York City. It has since diversified its businesses as ride sharing has become mainstream, and the stock has done well so far in 2023. However, a large trader or fund bought thousands of March 5 puts last […]
I keep track of the income-focused investments other writers recommend across the Internet. It is interesting to see what they report when one of my Dividend Hunter recommendations becomes a “hot idea” in the financial press.

In perhaps the most famous line from the mid-1980s television show The A-Team, A-Team leader Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith (George Peppard) often said: “I love it when a plan comes together”. Apparently, Hannibal Smith retired from the A-Team to join the executive team at the global mining giant, Rio Tinto PLC (RIO), because the company’s […]
2022 was a tough year for internet search giant, Alphabet (GOOGL). Could the share price recover in 2023? At least for the next 3 months, one trader or fund thinks the stock has over 10% upside potential. The trader placed a large block of covered calls, which allows for about $12 of upside in the […]
Last year, if you held your stocks… You’re likely sitting on double-digit losses over a 12-month timeframe. Drawdowns in your portfolio can be crippling to your future wealth and income. If you lose 50% of your portfolio… it requires a 100% return to get back to even. As you can imagine, losing 50% is much […]
You’ll see them every year, right after all the market predictors are done with their end-of-year foolishness: countless articles that advise you to buy what the world’s best investors are buying. The problem is that most of those advising you to “buy what the world’s best investors are buying” have no idea who the best […]
Forget about the metaverse. The “next big thing” in the world of technology is Generative AI, a type of artificial intelligence that is capable of producing original content from scratch. Someday—hopefully not too soon—generative AI will be able to write articles like this, thus putting me out of a job. And one of the most […]
I have a number of Canadian subscribers who often ask me for high-yield Canadian stock ideas—most recently, for an ETF that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Now, for American income investors, and Canadians willing to deal with the hassle that comes from cross-border investing, I’ve covered several over the past few months. But for […]
