The Best Stock Investing Play in a Trillion-Dollar Market / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: In the go-go 1980s - back when the hit movie Wall Street told us that "Greed Is Good" -Carl Icahn was known as a "corporate raider"... and was revered for his windfall-producing decisiveness.
Icahn is still around. And he's still active. Only now - in the politically correct 2000s - he's known as an "activist investor" who's gone up against the likes of Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY).

Do Fundamentals and Technical Analysis Still Matter? / Companies / Investing 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
Mohammad Zulfiqar writes: Over the weekend, I met with a friend of mine. He’s been a stock market investor for some time now, and over the last few years—especially since 2012 and 2013—he has done phenomenally well when it comes to his portfolio performance.
While talking to him about markets, he said something very interesting. His exact words were, “If you are investing in the stock market using fundamental or technical analysis these days, you are most likely going to lose money—or your returns will be dismal. The basics principles of investing hardly apply these days.”

Investors Big-Time Profit Play For a Scary Stock Market / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: U.S. blue chips suffered their biggest drop in five weeks yesterday and are down nearly 3% so far this year because the latest round of economic reports are fostering a lot of uncertainty about the prospects for continued global growth.
For most investors, it’s been that kind of year.
But I continue to believe that the tech sector – especially here in the U.S. – still has a lot of fuel left in its tank.

Investors Grab These Shares… Before Google Does / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes:As I've mentioned many times in Private Briefing, resident technology expert Michael Robinson and I talk by telephone at least once every day - and often two or three times.
On more than one occasion, in fact, Michael has joked that we could save a lot of time if we were capable of the "Vulcan Mind Meld" technique that Mr. Spock regularly used in the classic sci-fi TV show Star Trek.

By: Bloomberg
Nouriel Roubini has been known as Dr. Doom since he predicted the 2008 financial crisis, but Roubini feels it's time for a new nickname. He thinks "Dr. Realist" is a better fit. So Bloomberg Television wanted to know if the self-proclaimed "Dr. Realist" would ever invest in riskier assets like Bitcoin (which he calls a Ponzi scheme) or even stocks.

I was planning to explore the investment landscape of the burgeoning marijuana industry today, but it looks like the party’s already over.

Four Top High-Momentum Stocks to Watch / Companies / Investing 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: There is a lot of money trading the stock market each day, and this is especially true with the momentum stocks that are making many traders rich.
While anyone can trade momentum stocks; to make the real big money, you need to be trading big positions on these momentum stocks and be willing to assume the risk that the trade could go the other way. The key to trading momentum stocks is to make sure you are closely monitoring the price action and the volume on the bid side, especially. A major upward push in bids could foreshadow a pending upward move in the stock. The same can be said for rising volume on the ask side that could suggest traders are exiting the stock.

Why Wall Street Would Love to Bug Our Phones / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon writes: Every month or so, Keith Fitz-Gerald, Shah Gilani or a few of the other editors here at Money Map Press will wonder aloud if the big Wall Street investment banks have secreted a bunch of listening-device "bugs" in our offices or on our phones.
They haven't, of course. And our comments were made in jest - and meant only as a joke.
But the coincidences that prompt these surveillance-by-Big-Brother quips can be quite remarkable.

Where Stock Investors Can Find Stability in These Economically Unstable Times / Companies / Investing 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
John Paul Whitefoot writes: While most astute investors would point to a weak U.S. economy as the reason for the recent lackluster U.S. employment data, economists, in their infinite wisdom, point to Mother Nature. She seems to shoulder a lot of the economic blame in this country.

How to Profit from the Dow’s “Dogs” / Companies / Investing 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: Small-cap stocks are faring the worst this year and are down nearly 10% from their record-high in late 2013; many would deem this to be an official stock market correction.
Given that small-cap stocks surged upward by more than 33% in 2013, it shouldn’t be a surprise to see this group get the brunt of the selling this year.

By: DailyGainsLetter
Sasha Cekerevac writes: One of the most hotly debated topics these days is the role of activist investors. Some people have the impression that an activist investor is not a positive factor when it comes to long-term investing.

Business Development Companies Investing / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Casey_Research
By Andrey Dashkov
Business Development Companies (BDCs) are publicly traded private debt and equity funds. I know that description isn’t terribly sexy, but keep reading and you’ll find there’s a lot to be excited about.
BDCs provide financing to firms too small to seek traditional bank financing or to do an IPO, but at the same time are too advanced to interest the earliest-stage venture capitalist. These companies are often near or at profitability and just need extra cash to reach the next milestone. Filling this void, BDCs provide funds to target companies in exchange for interest payments and/or an equity stake.

But, here's the thing: the same sources that drove income last year for these companies are firmly in place. And will be throughout 2014.
