When THIS stock crashes…that could be the bottom

Retail investors are resilient.  While institutions have de-risked their portfolios… Retail investors have kept record amounts of money in equities despite the markets wavering.  There’s one stock I’m watching… it’s held up fairly well during this beatdown.  While other stocks in the sector have dropped 90%… it’s only down 20% or so.  But, I believe, […]

My #1 Pick for Making Money from the Housing Crash

With inflation running rampant, the Federal Reserve is responding by ratcheting up interest rates. The result is that mortgage rates have more than doubled over the last year.
