Most house flippers learned their lessons during that time and are now more conservative with their borrowing and expectations. And thanks to growing interest and coverage of the topic from the likes of HGTV and many more media outlets, Americans are better prepared. If done correctly, flipping houses can make for a decent living. Of course, Home… Read More

The exchanging of real dollars is becoming less and less common, as are the merits of doing so. Our digital, credit-fueled society has little room for the slow, paper currency of old.  Even the tried and true transactions of the cash economy (i.e. small businesses and person-to-person exchanges for goods) are becoming better served by digital transactions, which are quicker and safer (both in personal safety and fraud). —Sponsored Link— Terrified CEOs Set To Spend $1 Trillion Imagine, an industry more profitable than the entire global illegal drug trade.

Before I gave up on Chicago winters, I managed a hugely popular and successful service called Whisper Trader. Whisper was focused solely on predicting whether a company would beat or miss earnings estimates, and the results were quite remarkable.

Last month, in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, I recommended a trade that went against the disaster-mania gripping the market. Tractor Supply (Nasdaq: TSCO) was a stock that unjustly benefitted from investor hype surrounding reconstruction efforts.  Wall Street didn’t seem to understand that, despite its name, Tractor Supply doesn’t actually distribute tractors or other heavy equipment. And hurricane effects notwithstanding, the stock was overpriced and sitting on shoddy fundamentals.  —Sponsored Link— Just Released: ‘2018 Automatic Income Calendar’ Collect 15 extra paychecks each month, regardless of your situation.

When I was 12 years old, my grandfather loaned me his classic Hasselblad camera to shoot photos in the park near where I grew up. The light was dim and I wanted to capture the colorful tree line that was swaying in the wind, so I loaded up some high-speed Kodak film and hit the road. I knew I only had one chance to get that perfect light, perfect shot, perfect exposure. I wasn’t worried; I had faith in Kodak and its quality products. But sure enough, I had some incorrect settings and the pictures were useless. Even then, I… Read More

With family, friends and financial interests in both Texas and Florida, it’s been a tough couple of weeks watching both states get pummeled with back-to-back natural disasters.

Over the past 90 years, September and October have earned a reputation for being the two most volatile months for the markets. And this September is likely to be anything but predictable. The month is already off to a rocky start.

Before I get into today’s essay, I want to send my thoughts and prayers to all those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Last week, I made countless calls to friends in the Houston area to ensure everyone was OK. Many had fled their homes, but those who stayed told me they’d never seen flooding or devastation like this.  Ever.  As the days tick by, the full extent of the damage is yet to be revealed. While the storm’s high-powered winds fizzled quickly, the torrential rains persisted. By mid-week, Harvey had dumped more than 50 inches of rain on across a large… Read More

Over the past decade or so, we’ve seen a major shift in the way we eat out. While I still like a good ol’ McNugget, the rest of country apparently wanted something more… and fast-casual dining chains — Chipotle, Potbelly, Red Robin, SmashBurger, Shake Shack and so many more — were happy to oblige. This new evolution of “fast food” has elevated the market with higher-quality, arguably better tasting foods.

Over the past decade or so, we’ve seen a major shift in the way we eat out. While I still like a good ol’ McNugget, the rest of country apparently wanted something more… and fast-casual dining chains — Chipotle, Potbelly, Red Robin, SmashBurger, Shake Shack and so many more — were happy to oblige. This new evolution of “fast food” has elevated the market with higher-quality, arguably better tasting foods. These companies have also permanently stolen market share away from legacy brands in this already oversaturated industry. As these new companies opened up thousands of locations across the country, “old school” fast-food chains found it harder and harder to make money. As a result, they too opened new stores! Now, we are stuck with way too many fast-casual restaurants, all of which are experiencing slowing sales growth and rising food costs that are cutting into margins, compounding the competition factor. McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) — with its deep pockets, precise cost controls and profound brand recognition — has been able to successfully fight back and retain its market share. Privately-owned Burger King, Mickey-D’s chief competitor, is also fighting back with creative advertising, unique flavor combinations and discounts. But when a market… Read More
