Here's a complete run down of the Virtual Reality sector, including the best and brightest and a few dark horse stocks to invest in.

Brian Bain from Investor in the Family asked me to join him on his podcast to talk about my new report, Everything You Need to Know About Negative Interest Rates. Here's the full interview where we hit on what negative interest rates are, why the Fed will always do what the big banks tell it to, why the economy and stock markets will have to undergo a major reset in my life, why gold is going to $5000 and much more.

Nobody ever believed that such a crazy concept as “Negative Interest Rates” could exist in the real world, and certainly not in developed economies around the world simultaneously. But such is reality today. Negative interest rates and negative interest rate policies (“NIRP”, not to be confused with 0% interest rate policies or “ZIRP”), where a central bank charges the banks it regulates to hold their money, are now being more widely deployed. Believe it or not, countries accounting for a full quarter of global GDP now have negative interest rates, including the eurozone, Switzerland, and most recently Japan. Here in the US, we’re likely heading we’re likely to see yet another easing cycle from the US Federal Reserve, which might very well include negative interest rates (but might not -- more on that later). Why? Well, the Fed’s got a whole lot of excuses/reasons to cut its own rates and create new forms of Quantitative Easing (QE) and/or negative interest rates of its own. As I’ve been saying since late 20

The most important part of $AAPL’s earnings is this, as it underscores how big the Apple Ecosystem has become: Apple has more than 1 billion devices online — something it’s never revealed before. What you need to know about investing in Apple for the long-term. A Facebook earnings preview and what would make me buy Twitter?

Why the Fed is going to cut rates and bring back QE and what that means for the market. I outline the most likely scenario for the near-term market direction, and have a new trade to help profit from it. And much more in this four page report on the global and US economies, the stock market set-up and how to position yourself now.

I used to poke fun all the time at the permabears for not being able to recognize the boom times for what they were, say from 2010 to 2015. Peak oil, unemployment, valuations, currency wars, and China were always their reasons for pending Armageddon. Now though, here in 2016, peak oil is proven silly, deflation is real, currency wars are real and China’s a concern. Let’s hit on each of these points...

A few themes run through my new ebook called "Stocks Wanted for 2016" that are worth noting. First, despite all the carnage in the last few months in a lot of individual stocks, there isn’t but a handful of stocks rated 7/10 or higher in the book. In my own personal portfolio, I own about a dozen names and have a handful of short positions. My long names are almost all rated 7/10 or higher. Specifically, there are no 10/10 or 9/10 rated stocks. There are three 8/10 rated stocks (GOOG on page 11, FFIV on page 40, QCOM on page 45), and a dozen 7/10 rated stocks including Amazon on page 12, Netflix on page 13, Akamai on page 34 and Twitter on page 51. That lack of strong buy names is reflective of the fact that the markets just aren’t cheap right now as well as that earnings and topline growth just aren’t strong for many sectors. Speaking of sectors, I was disappointed but not surprised that every single energy and other commodity stock requested for me to analyze for this book was highly leveraged and i

It's about to get even worse for satellite companies and the traditional broadcast television business model. Why? Look at the NFL and Howard Stern.

Why gold might be topped out near-term but is probably going up 5-10 fold over my lifetime. Why biotech is in a bubble and about to crash. Why Facebook remains the best app company on the planet and more.

People ask me all the time if the reason I am so bearish on companies that lean on the taxpayer to fund their businesses like Wells Fargo and other too big to fail banks or even Tesla is because I'm taking a moral stance against corporate welfare. The answer is no. I am an opportunist with my money and my investing/trading. And anyway, every single publicly-traded company in this country (and around the world) benefits from subsidization and competitive protection from government forces.

How the economy does and doesn't impact stock markets, why gold and silver are must-owns for the long-term, and why biotech stocks are probably going to crash.

Why the hardest trade to make is often the right one. What is the hardest trade to make right now? The reasons why investors and traders are so scared right now and why you shouldn't be.

Why you shouldn't try to nail the tops and bottoms. When the markets will turn up again. What's going on in the actual economy?

Brian Bain interviews Cody Willard about how Cody finds stocks, how he decides to pull the trigger, how much money to allocate to each position, how to find the next Apple, Google, Facebook and what's the next big Tech Revolution to invest in.

How I found Apple at $1 per share back in 2003 and what tech stocks are that kind of "cheap" out there right now. Why do stocks crash so low that they are trading at less than net cash and why it's so rare to see that happen. Why 2015's tech stock crashes pale compared to 2003.

How big will the Apple Car be when the Apple Car finally gets here? How much competition does GoPro really have from Chinese and other wearable camera makers? What are some of the names and themes to invest in for the Internet-of-Things Revolution?

There’s an old saying on Wall Street that you 'can’t fight the Fed,' but it’s dead wrong. For the last 20 years, you always want to buy when the Fed is getting done lowering rates and sticking around til the Fed starts to lower rates. Here's why a Fed tightening phase can be so bullish.

My take on Donald Trump, immigration, wars, Obamacare, bank bailouts, Republicans vs Democrats and much more.

Perhaps the question I hear most often these days when I talk stocks to other money managers and anyone else is: Where are we in the cycle? It's like everyone's ready for the other shoe to drop and for the next market crash to come sooner rather than later.
