In the last two mid-month updates of my premium newsletter Extreme Tech Profits, I shared with subscribers a scan built around a discovery I learned from Dr. Len Zacks, founder of Zacks Investment Research. He is the one who taught me to look for what I call a “valuation disconnect”; that is, an event in the life of a company that takes place whenever new earnings information arises unexpectedly. If this new information is positive – e.g., an increase in earnings growth that had not been foreseen by the analysts – it typically causes the stock price to rise over… Read More

If this new information is positive – e.g., an increase in earnings growth that had not been foreseen by the analysts – it typically causes the stock price to rise over the next few weeks as investors strive to price in that new information. —Recommended Link— JUST RELEASED: The 9 Biggest Things To Happen To Investing In 2019 Your 2019 investment “cheat sheet” is ready… Our annual Game-Changing Stocks Predictions have left many readers stunned.

Never worry about cash again. Be free to live how YOU want… go on a lavish vacation… or build up a college fund for the grandkids — it’s up to you. Get your share here… When we ran the screen, United Continental Holdings (Nasdaq: UAL) rose to the top of the list. If you took advantage of that call, you soon found out just how powerful a scan that was. Shares of UAL traded up about 16% over the month. This time around, I have a scan to share with you that is even more powerful. (As always, I shared it with my Extreme Tech Profits members first, of course.) In a recent five-year backtest of the system, using a one-week rebalance period, and testing from October 18, 2013, to October 19, 2018, the system produced the following results (our system is the green line, the red line… Read More

In a recent article, I wrote about a discovery I learned from Dr. Len Zacks, founder of Zacks Investment Research. He is the one who taught me that positive changes in earnings estimates are the single most influential factor affecting stock prices over the near term. Earnings estimates are changed in one of two ways: The company itself comes out prior to or at their earnings announcement and says, “You know what, it looks like the current quarter is going better than we expected. Sales are so good, were going to have to up our estimates for what we will… Read More

Earnings estimates are changed in one of two ways: The company itself comes out prior to or at their earnings announcement and says, “You know what, it looks like the current quarter is going better than we expected. Sales are so good, were going to have to up our estimates for what we will achieve by the end of it.” Or an analyst covering the company, presumably with access to current sales and profit figures, makes the same kind of announcement. —Recommended Link— The Market’s Most SECRETIVE Indicator… Pioneered by a Texas investing firm, with a PROVEN million-dollar track record, the little-known “MP Score” is something outsiders rarely hear about-until now… Get started HERE.

It’s baaack. Market volatility, that is, and just in time for Halloween. Yes, the recent 8% haircut in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 12% slide for the Nasdaq, and 16% tumble for the Russell 2000 were a bit unnerving for all of us, especially after a quiet, and relatively bullish summer.

In the language of economics, there are two terms used to describe events that bring great changes to the economy. “Megatrend” is a term used to describe major structural changes that transform the global economy over the long-term. And “revolution,” as in “the industrial revolution,” is a megatrend so massive, so pervasive, and so long-lasting, it changes the very fabric of culture and society. —Recommended Link— Larry Claims He Makes $213,000 A Year Using This System On average, a handful of investors quietly make $1,543 a month with this simple, 3-step system.

To find out what you’re missing, click here NOW… Artificial intelligence (AI) clearly represents a “megatrend;” but I believe it is much more than that. I believe economic historians will be writing up the 2020’s as a decade that witnessed a new industrial revolution, and quite possibly the most impactful such revolution we’ve ever seen. #-ad_banner-#In the first industrial revolution, the birth of steam locomotion revolutionized transportation. Since then, we’ve seen how the assembly line enabled modern rates of production, how digital electronics radically changed the ways we communicate and entertain ourselves, and how the internet revolutionized…… Read More

Either way, more than anything else analysts use to evaluate share price — P/E ratios, sales growth, return on equity, etc. — earnings estimate revisions are the most impactful. #-ad_banner-#Zacks has made a science out of this discovery.

Click here to watch it now. If you’ve used Google Maps, you’ve experienced artificial intelligence (AI) firsthand. It’s a prime example of how AI technology today enables computers to take on tasks formerly reserved solely for humans — such as reading a map. In this case, Google uses historical and real-time data to visualize current traffic patterns and then applies AI to predict future traffic flow, with the objective to plot the quickest route to a destination. Three important trends have made recent advancements in AI possible: big data collection, reduced computing costs, and improvements in algorithms. —Recommended Link— How Jim Cashed $13,784 In Daily Paychecks Experimenting With This Wildly Successful System Jim took a cool $13,784… Annie grabbed $2,194… Read More

I want to take some time to introduce myself to those of you who may not know me, as well as talk a little about what’s in store for my upcoming sit-down interview with Jared Levy at the Extreme Tech Profits summit on Wednesday. I began trading and investing in stocks in 1996. I was a young professor back then, teaching philosophy at a liberal arts college in Ohio. Because I needed to supplement my salary to support a growing family, I took some money earned teaching summer school and opened my first brokerage account. After several years of mediocre results, I buckled down and took steps to improve my investing performance. As part of that process, I put myself under the tutelage of some of the best investors and traders in the business. I studied under Martin Zweig, famed hedge fund manager… William O’Neil, founder of Investor’s Business Daily… and from Dr. Len Zacks, the MIT PhD who founded Zacks Investment Research. Once I combined three key tenets I learned from each of these masters into a stock-selection system and added a few rules from technical analysis for timing my entries and exits, I started… Read More
