In 1975, a young man named Ray Dalio founded, out of his apartment, investment management firm Bridgewater Associates. Today, it is the largest hedge fund in the world with about $160 billion in assets under management (larger than No. 2 and No. 3 combined).   Bridgewater has consistently outperformed its peers.

But the media has been strangely silent about it. Don’t let Wall Street insiders step on you again. Every $1,000 stake could turn into $61,770… but only if you take action before this discovery hits the evening news. Click here for details. Worried about the enormous amount of debt on many of the large institutions’ balance sheets, Dalio decided to take his findings — and warnings — to the Treasury Department, where he presented his research in December 2007. He later went to… Read More

I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t aware of what I’m about to tell you. After all, the headlines lately have been dominated by trade wars, domestic politics, and then the holiday season, of course.  But there is a political upheaval taking place thousands of miles from us that is going practically ignored. (And no, I’m not talking about Hong Kong.) And while what’s happening is being ignored by the mainstream media, it could prove to be a once-in-a-generation opportunity for savvy investors. I’m talking about the political crisis in Argentina. I’ll touch on this more in a moment. But… Read More

After all, the headlines lately have been dominated by trade wars, domestic politics, and then the holiday season, of course.  But there is a political upheaval taking place thousands of miles from us that is going practically ignored. (And no, I’m not talking about Hong Kong.) And while what’s happening is being ignored by the mainstream media, it could prove to be a once-in-a-generation opportunity for savvy investors. I’m talking about the political crisis in Argentina. I’ll touch on this more in a moment. But first, a little background…  What Business (And Life) Is Like In Argentina For those who aren’t aware, I have some personal experience with Argentina. In fact, I lived there for a time many years ago. And while my Spanish isn’t what it used to be, I still remember the stories I was told by the locals. And I experienced a few things myself, of course…  ​In the brief time I lived in Argentina, I had friends and colleagues who were raped, beaten, bitten, robbed, and held at gunpoint. I once witnessed a police car speed down our neighborhood street and literally… Read More

Here’s a bar chart of S&P 500 returns over the last 30 years so you can see how 2019 stacks up to past performances. However you look at it, this has been quite a year.

Here’s a bar chart of S&P 500 returns over the last 30 years so you can see how 2019 stacks up to past performances. However you look at it, this has been quite a year. But you might be surprised to learn that this wonderful year for the stock market has been “hated” by investors… You see, typically when we have a good month or year investors pour more money into the stock market. For instance, in 2017 stocks returned a superb 19%. Investors, not wanting to miss out on future returns, poured $54.2 billion into stocks in the first month of 2018. That’s the largest monthly inflow in years. The same holds true when the market is falling… You might recall that this time last year the S&P 500 was in freefall. It fell as much as 15% in the month of December alone. Investors were scared. They yanked $57.4 billion from equities during that last month of 2018. In… Read More

When you look back on certain things in life, like industry trends, you often wonder how you didn’t see it coming. Or perhaps you did see it coming but didn’t realize the effect it would have on our lives. It could be something small that we take for granted like shifting your vehicle into 4-wheel drive with the click of the button, while you’re still driving. Or the remote control for a television. Then, of course, there are the bigger trends that have altered our lives in greater ways, like the internet, cell phones (now smartphones), airplane transportation, healthcare… the list… Read More

When you look back on certain things in life, like industry trends, you often wonder how you didn’t see it coming. Or perhaps you did see it coming but didn’t realize the effect it would have on our lives. It could be something small that we take for granted like shifting your vehicle into 4-wheel drive with the click of the button, while you’re still driving. Or the remote control for a television. Then, of course, there are the bigger trends that have altered our lives in greater ways, like the internet, cell phones (now smartphones), airplane transportation, healthcare… the list goes on.  Some of these larger trends have even spawned a number of new industries within that larger trend. Take the internet for example. Because of the evolution of the internet, software-as-a-service (SaaS) has ballooned into its own massive industry.  A more prominent company in the SaaS industry is Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). The customer relationship management firm shook up the software industry by using a subscription-based method to sell its software. Investors who got in on this trend have done very well… I recently made the case that buy-and-hold investors should make a place for solid growth stocks in their… Read More
