Concerned about our nation's financial system? I can understand why. After all, disaster just struck. Both Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") and Signature Bank (SBNY) recently failed. Furthermore, Credit Suisse (CS) had to sell itself to a rival to avoid going under. And if that weren't enough, First Republic Bank (FRC)… read more »
Tuesday, March 28, 2023A few weeks ago, I showed you a great way to invest in America's advanced fighter jets. I mentioned that an F-22 Raptor, built by defense contractor Lockheed Martin (LMT), shot down a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina... And I noted that the incident marked a… read more »
Friday, March 24, 2023Who says all these tech layoffs are a bad thing? To be clear, I'm not suggesting that I'm happy to see people lose their jobs – well, most of them, anyway. You see, about 45 call center operators recently got laid off by a company called Conti. You've probably never… read more »
Tuesday, March 21, 2023It's not every day that an advanced U.S. fighter jet becomes an international celebrity. No, I'm not referring to the ones used in the box office smash hit Top Gun: Maverick. I'm referring to one that emerged from the headlines following days of tension between the U.S. and China. You… read more »
Friday, March 17, 2023When it comes to blockbuster biotech mergers, last year was a bit of a bust.

Among those $88 billion in deals,… read more »
Tuesday, March 14, 2023Last month, I reminded you that sometimes big failures can lead to massive profits... Provided, of course, that the company in question successfully pivots to a breakout new product. Microsoft (MSFT) did just that by investing as much as $25 billion into artificial intelligence ("AI") powered voice technology... And now… read more »
Friday, March 10, 2023A monumental change is coming to the home defense and law enforcement sectors. No, it has nothing to do with a new series of handguns or high-powered rifles. Quite the opposite, in fact... You see, this change relates to a whole new level of stopping power with what are known… read more »
Tuesday, March 7, 2023It may sound a bit odd coming from a boomer of a "certain age," but I am a social media freak. For instance, I spend hours on photo-sharing platform Instagram, and for two very good reasons: First, my wife and I are passionate art collectors. And right now, Instagram is… read more »
Friday, March 3, 2023I want to revisit profitable advice I handed down last November... And I do mean profitable! At the time, I told you to avoid investing in Mobileye Global (MBLY) because its recent initial public offering ("IPO") made the stock too choppy for retail investors. You may have doubted me at… read more »
Tuesday, February 28, 2023What a difference a few months can make, huh? Some of the biggest technology stocks got absolutely crushed last year. Amazon (AMZN), for example, fell 49%. And Alphabet (GOOGL) fell 38%. But in the words of pop star Janet Jackson, "What have you done for me lately"? And the answer… read more »
