Expect to hear a lot about ignition in the next year. No, I don?t mean the rebuilt ignition you bought on eBay for the beat up ?68 Cadillac El Dorado up on blocks in your front yard. Defense contractor Lockheed Martin?s (LMT) famed Skunk Works in California has finally come out of the closet and
I watched John Thomas for a year before jumping in, and I should have done it earlier when he phenomenally traded that awful year, 2011, that whipsawed so many investors including myself.He again outperformed the market in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and so far he has shown amazing skill once more in navigating treacherous markets

For all of 2016, financial markets have traded off of the assumption that gridlock would continue in Washington, DC. Markets hate change, and love the status quo, predictability, and certainty. Last week that assumption was turned on its head, thanks to the complete collapse of the Trump presidential campaign for reasons I am sure you
It?s been a tough-fought battle. I have had to fight tooth and nail for every penny. For the first time since September 2nd, I have been able to boost the six-year track record of Global Trading Dispatch to a new all time high. It seems these days, you have to work twice as hard to
It?s another sign of the times when the weekend fruit picker population is doubled by people hard hit by the economy, looking to save money on food costs.After driving through miles of undulating brown hills studded with oak trees, passing mile upon mile of horse ranches, rusted out cars, and abandoned mobile homes, you come

I have been covering the energy industry for some 50 years. As a teenager, I worked summers as a roustabout in Chevron?s Elk Hills Reserve in Southern California. Then I spent a decade covering the Middle East, prospecting for Morgan Stanley. I got to know the Arabs when they were poor and barefoot, not wearing

No, I?m not talking about warring Latin American drug gangs. I?m not even referring to the legalization of marijuana, which looks like a done deal in California?s November 8th election. No, I?m talking about the Golden State?s latest attempt to regulate drug prices. What?s at stake here is a bifurcation of the entire US health
The Armageddon crowd must be slitting their wrists today watching gold hit a new four month low in the wake of the global interest rate rally. No flight to safety here. The Armageddon crowd are the guys who are perennially predicting the collapse of the dollar, the default of the US government, hyperinflation, and the

Let me tell you what is happening with the price of gold. The barbarous relic snapped out of a five-year bear market in January, delivering a very smart 31.68% rally during the first half of 2016. The big driver was the sudden collapse of European and Japanese interest rates to hugely negative levels, some to
I?m calling the top in oil right here, but only for this month. Longer term, we are headed upwards. But that is more of a 2017 story. If you can?t do options, buy the ProShares Ultra Short Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (SCO) for a quick trade. The concept behind this trade is really very simple.
I like to start out my day by calling subscribers on the US east coast and Europe, asking how they like the service, are there any ways I can improve it, and what topics would they like me to write about. After all, at 5:00 AM Pacific time, they are the only ones awake. You?d

The $64,000 answer. That was the reply I received from Mad Options Trader, Matt Buckley, known to his fellow traders as ?Whiz,? regarding my question about his two-month performance. That is how much traders have made since the August 1 free trial started for our new Mad Options Trader service for each $100,000 of invested
Both the major stock and bond indexes are up about 6% on the year. Those who left on January 1st to sail a yacht around the world, engage in a research project in Antarctica, or meditate at an Ashram in India, will return today and discovery that 2016 effectively didn?t happen, at least as far
