If you were asked what the scarcest commodity on the planet was, you might say gold or oil. But it’s neither of these. Nor is it platinum or copper or one of the rare earth metals. If you guessed fresh water, you’d be close… #-ad_banner-#The scarcest commodity on Earth is something nobody will ever make more of. Yet demand for it is growing at a rapid clip. I’m talking about land. The wealthiest families in the world own land. Lots of land. And while most people wouldn’t think of land as a “commodity,” it is, by definition, one… Read More

If you guessed fresh water, you’d be close… #-ad_banner-#The scarcest commodity on Earth is something nobody will ever make more of. Yet demand for it is growing at a rapid clip. I’m talking about land. The wealthiest families in the world own land. Lots of land. And while most people wouldn’t think of land as a “commodity,” it is, by definition, one of the scarcest commodities in the world. Think about it this way… The world’s population is growing by about 200,000 people every day. That’s over a million new people a week crowding into a fixed amount of space to live, work and shop — placing pressure on housing, office parks, and retail strip centers. That’s exactly why forward-looking mega investors like Warren Buffett are placing big bets on land and buildings. We tend to associate ultra-rich business tycoons with hard assets like steel and oil. But more often than not, the world’s billionaires have invested the bulk of their wealth… Read More

Nothing lasts forever… This is especially true in the investing world where so many shifting factors come into play. So many things can affect a company’s performance — shifts, external factors such as in political leadership, consumer confidence, interest rates, international conflicts… the list goes on. So it makes sense that the safest place to start is with investments that have stood the test of time. #-ad_banner-#Think about it. If a company manages to survive through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and every possible economic and political situation under the sun — it’s a good bet this company stands… Read More

So it makes sense that the safest place to start is with investments that have stood the test of time. #-ad_banner-#Think about it. If a company manages to survive through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and every possible economic and political situation under the sun — it’s a good bet this company stands a better chance of surviving for generations to come. Heck, some of the U.S. companies we researched for our latest report, “The Top 11 Legacy Assets of All Time,” survived the Civil War. Others have been around longer than the U.S. has been a country. And there’s a powerful secret behind how they did it — one every investor should take to heart. Here it is…  Unlike popular tech companies such as Apple and Microsoft, “Legacy Assets” don’t have to come up with the next high-tech gadget or operating system every year. And unlike banks or insurance companies, “Legacy Assets”… Read More

A young man named Sam Walton grew up during the Great Depression. As you can imagine, times were hard. But Sam did everything he could to earn an extra buck — as a boy he sold the surplus milk from the family farm… He delivered newspapers and sold magazines… In college, he waited tables.  Then after serving in the Army in World War II, Sam used a $20,000 loan from his father-in-law and $5,000 of his own savings to purchase a small variety store in Newport, Arkansas. #-ad_banner-#By working hard and making sure his shelves were always well-stocked with simple… Read More

The rest was history. Today the company Sam Walton founded — Wal-Mart — generates over $469 billion in revenue a year. It’s the largest retailer on the planet with nearly 10,000 stores spanning the globe. And although Sam Walton passed away in 1992 at the age of 74, his legacy lives on… The Walton family still controls over 50% of the company’s stock. His heirs consistently make the annual Forbes list of richest people in America. Christy Walton, widow of John Walton — one of Sam’s… Read More
