Practically every day, I get emails from readers asking me to take over management of their money so I can execute my Trade Alerts for them. With an 80% success rate an average annualized return, why wouldn?t they? Unfortunately, I have to turn these invitations down. Watching the market, doing the research for new Trade

While driving back from Lake Tahoe last weekend, I received a call from a dear friend who was in a very foul mood. He had bailed on all his equity holdings at the end of last year, fully expecting a market crash in the New Year. Despite market volatility doubling, multinationals getting crushed by the

I am sitting here at the Lone Eagle Grill in Incline Village, Nevada, enjoying a rare solo lunch. No one is asking me about the future of interest rates, if there is any gold inside Fort Knox or if the aliens really landed at Roswell, New Mexico. My table overlooks majestic Lake Tahoe, and a

If you live long enough, you see everything. After a 25-year hiatus, here I am finally back making money in the Japanese stock market once again. Any sentient being couldn?t help but notice the specular results the Japanese stock market has produced so far in 2015. The Nikkei Average is up a robust 11.7%, while

The only reservation I have about doing this trade right now is that the Japanese fiscal year ends on March 31. As we all know, book closings can generate some pretty weird gyrations in the market place as both companies and government window dress in the extreme. However, once we are in the new fiscal

Yes, that is the shocking truth that Fed chairman Janet Yellen told us today with the release of the central bank?s minutes. Of course, she didn?t exactly say that she would raise interest rates for the first time in a decade in so many words. To discern that, you had to be fluent in Janetspeak.

Mad Day Trader Jim Parker is a modest guy. He has never been one to boast of his many achievements. If he does a great trade, he simply marks it in the ?WIN? column and moves on to the next trade. I, however, am not Jim Parker. As you may have noticed over the years,

When communications between intelligence agencies suddenly spike, as has recently been the case, I sit up and take note. Hey, do you think I talk to all of those generals because I like their snappy uniforms, do you? The word is that the despotic, authoritarian regime in Syria is on the verge of collapse. The
