Investors need to know what is changing as the change unfolds. —Recommended Link— You May Not Like Hearing This… Everyone knows that Social Security is in bad shape. But most people don’t realize just how desperate the situation is… to fix Social Security benefits have to be cut by 22% immediately. Or payroll taxes have to jump by 32%. So you’re facing pain whether you’re working OR retired. But there’s a way out. A program that can pay you $40,653 per year for the rest of your life. And it has nothing to do with the government. Check it out here. The relationship between dividend yields and interest rates is an example of how even longstanding rules can change… and keep changing. Stocks are generally considered to be riskier than bonds, and that relationship was clear in the early part of the 20th… Read More

Futures As a nod to the mainstream acceptance of bitcoin, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) launched futures for the currency last fall. Futures provide the investor the ability to buy or sell a contract. #-ad_banner-#A future contract is purchased if you are expecting the price of the underlying asset — in this case, bitcoin — to increase in value. Future contracts are sold with the hope that the price will drop in value. Selling a bitcoin futures contract is an efficient way to take a short position in its price. First, let’s take a look at the futures offered by the CME. Traded under the symbol BTC, each contract represents five bitcoins. The minimum price fluctuation, or tic, is $25.00 per contract. Unlike bitcoin itself, which trades 24/7, the CME futures’ trading hours are 5:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST Sunday-Friday. The CME bitcoin futures price is based on CME’s bitcoin reference rate. The reference rate is built on bitcoin prices… Read More

Carl Icahn began his Wall Street career in 1961, about 57 years ago. That year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at about 730… the S&P 500 was at 71… and the Nasdaq Composite Index wouldn’t even be created for another 20+ years. Throughout his career, Icahn has been involved in a number of takeovers and survived bull and bear markets. It seems as though he would have seen everything at this point, but recently he said he had never seen a market like the one we’ve seen this month. The problem, in his eyes, is volatility. —Sponsored Link—… Read More

Here’s the reality… ––Sponsored Link— This New Tesla Coil Is The Future Of Electricity In 1891, Nikola Tesla stunned the scientific community by inventing a device that could transmit electricity through the air. This breakthrough device could power light bulbs and electric motors wirelessly, at a distance of a few feet. But unfortunately, his experiments came to a premature end. Now, 75 years after his death, Tesla’s dream has been resurrected in an incredible way. A brilliant scientist recently invented a new and improved wireless power device. Just like Tesla’s device, it can transmit power through the air… But unlike Tesla’s device (thanks to far superior science), this one is practical, efficient, and inexpensive. And the things it can do will amaze… Read More

Last Monday, President Trump added another notch to his “America First” belt with the announcement of a new 30% tariff on imported solar panels.  Companies that produce solar cells and panels will get to sell 2.5 gigawatts worth of those energy products to U.S. consumers, but they’ll have to pay a special tax on any sales above that amount. For the first year of this new policy, that extra tax is set at 30%, which will then decrease 5% each year over a four-year period. —Sponsored Link— This Is The Story Of Your Debt Enslavement —… Read More
