Every month or so, I like to spend some time answering all of the great questions you ask me.
But this week, you asked me three particular questions that could make or break your trades.
And since we’re looking at a major shift in the markets next week, it’s important we talk about them right now.
So let’s get to it…

We all know that the FOMC meets on September 20 and September 21 to play the “to raise or not to raise interest rates” game. And there are a lot of officials at odds about it.
Boston Fed President, Eric Rosengren, has already made it crystal clear that he wants a rate hike – and soon – while others, like Fed Governor, Lael Brainard, disagree.
And on Monday, Brainard gave a speech stating that the case for raising rates is less compelling, citing concerns over the effects slowing global economies (such as China) could have on the U.S. economy.
But in the end, I’m going to be watching something completely different.
And if the Fed does agree to finally raise rates and actually sets a date to do so…
These three industries stand to gain the most.

Right now, the biggest topic on everyone’s minds (aside from the Fed, of course), is volatility.
Now, we’ve been in a sideways trading range since the end of July and saw some nice gains on Monday.
But since 1950, September’s actually turned out to be a tough road to hoe for the markets.
In fact, the DJI has declined, on average, by 1.1% while the S&P 500 has averaged a drop of 0.7%. And if you look at the NASDAQ, you’ll see that since its inception in 1971, it too, has fallen on average by 1% every September.
So checking your holdings and cleaning out those stocks that could hurt you the most over the next few weeks has never been more important.
And don’t worry about figuring out which ones those are.
I’ve got the top 10 threats to your portfolio right here…

One of my earliest childhood memories is eating a nice hot bowl of soup whenever I got sick or it was cold outside.
This soup, in particular, was a staple in my family’s kitchen, and I bet it was in yours too.
Now this company’s been around since 1869. However, its latest earnings report suggests that America could be falling out of love.
But contrary to what investors are thinking, it’s never been a better time to put your money on it.

As a novice trader back in the late ’80s, I used to sit with my Compaq computer in the loft of my small New Jersey home house in New Jersey when I first discovered charting patterns and indicators.
I also spent quite a bit of time in front of the TV watching then-called FNN (now CNBC). And the most popular trading “mantra” then was: buy low and sell high.
You may have heard this…
But I learned quickly that this doesn’t always hold true.
Actually, quite the opposite.
Here’s why…

I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida, right in the path of Hurricane Hermine. As I know well, the biggest risk of a hurricane isn’t actually the winds… it’s the flooding. So I’ve spent most of my week draining the pool, boarding up the house and patio, and of course, making sure my family’s got enough food and water to ride out the storm.
Even before it hits, this storm is already historic because we haven’t had a hurricane make landfall in Florida for 11 years now. In fact, some of my own neighbors don’t even know what it’s like to experience a hurricane and only know what they see on the news.
But there’s an even worse storm brewing… one that will affect all of us.
And the only way to beat it is to get prepared now.

An article hit from Motley Fool recently hit my inbox about investing 15% to 30% of your money in foreign stocks.
The reasons they cited for doing so were diversification, exposure to big-name brands outside of the U.S. (that aren’t listed on major U.S. stock exchanges), and exposure to economies growing faster than the U.S.
Now I’ve heard this all before – and I’m sure you have, too.
But there’s one reason they’re wrong.

This is the first back-to-school season where I’m not out there digging through every clothing aisle with my daughter or wrestling someone over a backpack for my youngest, who graduated from high school earlier this year.
I’m lucky to sit this one out as both of my kids head off to their respective colleges. And that means they’re now old enough to buy their own clothes, supplies, and gear.
But I certainly remember what it’s like preparing for the new school year, and my hat goes off to you for getting through it.
It’s also the time of year when retailers really start pushing their back-to-school sales even harder, according to the National Retail Federation. Retailers typically start their promotions in July, with some starting as early as June.
Now it still takes between three and four shopping trips over the span of a few weeks before kids are fully prepared for the first day of school…
And that’s exactly what these four back-to-school stocks are banking on…

Olympic men’s swimming ended yesterday. And unless Michael Phelps changes his mind again, this is the last time you’ll see him compete.
As the most decorated Olympian of all time, Phelps was already the richest swimmer in the world before the Rio games. His net worth is estimated to be around $55 million, with 98% of his earnings coming from endorsements alone.
So companies need to strike now to get his name and face on as many of their products as possible… before it’s too late.
But three companies in particular have already taken the lead. And thanks to Phelps’ 28 medals, they stand to bring in billions more in profits.
The first one may surprise you…

Let’s face it… the main goal for most traders is to beat the markets.
And there are thousands of books out there that promise to reveal the single method for beating the market. Some have even made it to the New York Times’ best seller list.
The problem is… they’re just not accurate.
Truthfully, there’s no ONE way to beat the stock market.
And even if you’ve had some luck following “that one” tactic, it’s just not a winning strategy to use in the long run. Actually, you risk losing profits you’ve made so far and your immediate (and future) capital.
So forget those 100 “only ways” you’ve seen to beat the markets.
This three-fold approach will tell you the direction a stock is heading, how much money you can make, and how long you have to capture those profits.
It’s a solid strategy no matter how experienced you are – and one that works in any market environment.
