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.

Investors also see these stocks as regular dividend payers—bond proxies, in effect—with investors confident of solid income streams, leading to low but highly reliable total shareholder returns with relatively little capital risk.

As you know, stocks have been volatile for the last few years. …big drop from Covid… …stocks rocket back… …equities peak end of 2021… …bear market in 2022 (and ongoing). But, right now, you can earn […]
There wasn’t a lot of meme stock action in 2022, but 2023 has been a different story so far. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) has seen plenty of meme options action, and so has Carvana (CVNA), which appears to be the latest choice for meme stock traders. On a huge up day for the stock […]
