Why the “Buyback Drought” Is Bad For Your Bottom Dollar

On Tuesday, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) announced a $20 billion stock share buyback, which simply means they’re planning to buy $20 billion worth of their own stock from the market.

Now investors and traders generally love buybacks because they drive a company’s market value, earnings per share (eps), and dividend payout higher.

But – despite Wal-Mart’s announcement – we’re smack dab in the middle of about a year-long “buyback drought.” In fact, the number of buybacks by S&P 500 companies only reached $120 billion in this year’s second quarter. 

While $120 billion may seem like a large number, it’s down nearly 10% from the first quarter alone and 5.8% from this same period a year ago.

And that could have huge impacts on your portfolio – especially this earnings season.  

Here’s how


The Most Lucrative Way to Invest in Ford Right Now

Ford Motor Company (F) held an investor conference on October 2. Among the many announcements they made, the biggest takeaway is that they are entering into the electronic vehicle market and some impressive sales numbers. They even have a team assembled to speed up the development of these new vehicles.

And since the conference, Ford’s stock is trading above $12.25.

Now while that is a low stock price, let’s face it… nobody buys a single share of a company. Smart traders like you prefer to control larger portions of stock.

And this strategy will give you higher profits with a much lower sticker price


Your Seven-Day Market Forecast – and How to Profit

The mainstream media is focusing on the jobs report, which was released earlier today. But, while this report can give you a general idea of the state of the markets, the numbers are skewed (I’ll tell you why in a moment).

So instead of focusing on a flawed report that doesn’t give you the full picture, the best thing to do is to look at the “Four Corners.”

And here’s what they’re saying


The Best ETF to Buy Right Now

The number one question you ask me is this: “what’s the best stock to buy right now?”

Now, I’ve trained 300,000 people all over the world how to trade options. I ran the world’s largest options training company, and appeared on several radio shows.

No matter what medium I trained people in, no matter where in the world I was, that’s what people always asked me. I heard it everywhere.

And no wonder.

With thousands of stocks to choose from, it’s hard to know where to start or where to look… it’s like trying to find the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Let me show you how to do just that…


Four Hurdles Gold Must Clear Before You Should Even Touch It

Gold has traditionally been a safe haven for investors concerned about market crashes.

In fact, despite recent stock sell-offs over the possibility of nuclear war with North Korea, investing in gold has been a losing strategy.

Whatever happens, that’s going to continue for the next couple of weeks.

And that’s not the only thing keeping gold prices from going up…

Here’s everything you need to know


Here’s Where to Move Your Cash When This Bull Market Ends

If Alice Kramden, of the old TV series, “The Honeymooners,” were to ask her husband, Ralph, where the stock market’s heading next, he’d probably yell “to the moon, Alice!”

This is basically what all of the financial news networks are doing right now. That’s why you keep seeing and hearing all of the pundits say that there’s no end in sight for this bull rally.

Now I disagree (we’ll talk about why in a minute).

But the bottom line is…

It’s inevitable that this rally will continue without at least a pullback or correction of some kind.

And when that happens, this is where you’ll want to move your cash


JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is Wrong about Bitcoin – Here’s Why

Last week, Jamie Dimon, President and CEO of the largest bank in the U.S., JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM), said that Bitcoin is a “fraud” that he’d never touch.

He even went so far as to say he’d fire any employees trading this cryptocurrency, calling them “stupid.” And right after he made these comments, Bitcoin dropped 10%.

Now this isn’t the first time he’s said something bad about Bitcoin – and it won’t be the last, either.

The problem is… he’s completely wrong.

And his error now puts you at risk to miss out on what could be a trillion-dollar industry.


Two Easy Ways to Pocket Triple-Digit Gains on Amazon’s New Deal

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) has been in the news a lot this week – for both good and bad reasons. Take Wednesday, for example, when the media heads were raving about AMZN’s deal with Kohl’s to start selling smart home products, like the Echo. Fast forward a day, and these same pundits were questioning the company over the latest accusations of ignoring tax fraud in the U.K.

This can cause some pretty mixed messaging about whether the stock is worth adding to or keeping in your portfolio. 

And that’s exactly what I want to talk to you about today…

You don’t need to wait for the talking heads in the media to tell you what you should do next –  you can make money no matter what type of press AMZN gets.

And these are the two best strategies to do just that
