JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) reported better-than-expected revenues this morning, kicking off 2019 first quarter (Q1) earnings season.

Now, despite volatility, we’ve had a pretty good run in the market this year. Interest rates have come down, wages are higher, and all three major indices are closing in on records after major gains since January.

But when it comes to earnings, we’re always looking at the potential for a major reversal – one that could wipe out all of your hard-earned cash.

So today, I’m going to show you the two best ways to avoid losing money on earnings results…

The first is this one very simple strategy, which gives you the know-how to potentially cash in on any company’s earnings report – good or bad.

And click here to find out the second…

On Saturday, we talked about the news surrounding Lyft’s IPO run…

But Lyft is only the first of many to take this step.

From Airbnb to Robinhood – Lyft joins a long list of companies chasing the IPO dream.

But investing in an IPO is like a leap of faith- and sometimes blindly dumping your money into an IPO can leave you without a dime left to your name.

And there’s only one way to make sure you don’t get caught in the next IPO crash and burn…

Here’s the only three rules you need to know when it comes to any IPO …

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that President Trump made the executive order to ground all Boeing 737 MAX planes on Thursday.

The new fuel-efficient models are a huge cash flow driver for Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA), making up about 25% of total sales. So after Trump’s order hit, Boeing’s stock responded. Shares have now fallen a drastic 11%, wiping over $25 billion off the aircraft manufacturer’s market value.

Boeing makes up more than 10% of the Dow, so this drastic loss dragged down the entire market as a result. And investors across the board immediately began adjusting their portfolios in an attempt to offset the falling market. But here’s the thing – that’s exactly what Wall Street wants you to do.

Here’s why it’s actually the number one trading mistake that you could make…

From leading the Apple App store in downloads to the decline of the iconic yellow cab, ride-hailing apps have continued to become more and more popular over the last few years.

Uber and Lyft are leading the pack, hosting a combined 125 million users.

Now, Lyft is looking to break out from its ride-hailing counterparts…

And on Friday, the company filed for its first IPO.

But no matter the number of users, drivers, or rides – money talks, and Lyft doesn’t have much to say…

So, here’s what you need to know before you invest in this brand new IPO…

Take a look at my New Zealand vacation home!

Following an uncertain end to 2018, including the worst performance on Christmas Eve since the Great Depression, the market has found its stride and we’ve seen every single segment of the U.S. equity market up – two months in a row.

But as you may know, one of the worst mistakes in the market is getting too comfortable – especially with the recent report that came out surrounding the Trade Wars.

And this is what could be coming next…

Whether you’re in the process of saving for retirement or already in your golden years, the number one fear is running out of money…

Now, this fear is understandable seeing that Wall Street preaches that to build retirement, you have depend on social security or other financial instruments that they can control…

The truth is though…those same old one-percenters on Wall Street hoarding profits are the one stroking this fear…

But it doesn’t have to be something to fear…

Here’s how you can “grab the wheel” of your financial life

As we make our way through February, earnings reports are slowly starting to dwindle.

And we are officially at the end of what I like to call the “sweet spot…”

That’s why today, I’m going to dig into this week and take a closer look at the stocks that I’m interested in as earnings season comes to a close.

So, let’s get started…

The financial news networks stay busy putting out brand new stories every hour of the day…

And many of the stories are predictions of what could come and how the markets next move could affect your portfolio…

But your knee jerk reaction to react to the newest headlines could lead you into a world of trouble.

Especially when stories like the latest CNBC Fed Survey are hitting the airwaves – boasting a 26% chance of a U.S. recession in 2019.

There’s a way to prepare for this “doomsday” prediction though.

Here’s what you need to know…

Every January, without fail, the TV news networks run endless stories on the best New Year’s resolutions to make. You probably saw at least one today.

At the top of those lists is “make more money.” And by February, at least 90% of people have already failed.

Now that’s not because making more money is impossible to do… it’s not.

In fact, it’s a combination of reasons, including getting a lot of bad financial advice.

But this year, you’re not going to be part of that statistic…

Because I’m going to show you the three simple steps you need to make your 2019 the most profitable year ever.
