So what’s the better investment – stocks or LEAP options?
This month, we received word that the independent Hulbert Financial Digest just ranked our investment letter – The Oxford Club Communiqué – among the five top-performing letters in the nation over the past 10 years. Part of our success has come from knowing what to buy. Another major factor is knowing when to sell. And that, quite frankly, is the result of keeping our trailing stop discipline.
Pity the poor rich! Pity the poor! Pity us all!
In the next 30 days, we’re going to see the stock market drop by 10%. And if you buy shares of the play I’m about to reveal, you could be in for as much as 20% profits as a result…
It’s been a rough year for dividends, but if you know where to look, your income will be just fine.
I am expecting a significant stock market correction at any time.
If you want to do well in today’s market, ignore this rally. Pay all your attention instead to the only class of companies you need to know about. I call these companies the “best of breed.” They’re probably the least-talked about companies in the market. Many investors are missing the boat. And that’s a shame.
Since the stock market bottomed out in March, the Nasdaq 100 index has led the way forward, with a 55% rally, with the Dow and S&P 500 not far behind.
When you hear traders talk about the Greeks, they don’t mean Plato or Socrates.
The stock market is about to finish the best July since 1989. The S&P 500 is up over 8% this month, its best month since April and best July in 20 years. After yesterday’s 1% rally, the index is up to 987. Baring catastrophe today, the S&P will register its fifth consecutive monthly gain.
