The market can be a humbling force for any investor, financial analyst or writer. It often runs in the opposite direction than we predict, mocking our best judgment in the process.
Even I’m not immune to making losing calls from time to time…
So whether the market rallies sooner than expected or falls harder than expected, it’s important to have flexible strategies in place.
One way to stay profitable or protected whichever way the market goes is to use the old fail-safe investment strategy: Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS).
Low-Dollar Risk… High-Dollar Return With LEAPS…

My teenage daughter embarrasses easily. If I’m talking too loudly, gesturing a little too dramatically or… breathing, she wants to crawl under a rock.
Like many girls her age, she spends most of her time in her room.
So I was pleasantly surprised last week when she announced that she wanted to watch the Macy’s (NYSE: M) Thanksgiving Day Parade together like we have every year since she was very little.
The parade has been held in New York City every year since 1924, and we’ve been watching it curled up on the couch since she was 4.
This year, due to high winds, …read more […]

U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday appeared skeptical of Intel Corp’s bid to avoid a lawsuit accusing it of violating federal law in making employee retirement plan investments that cost beneficiaries hundreds of millions of dollars. The justices heard an hour of arguments in Intel’s appeal of a lower court ruling reviving the proposed class action lawsuit that a judge decided in 2017 had been filed too late. The case is significant for companies because it could expand the time that many plan beneficiaries have to bring lawsuits, which could lead to higher damages. …read more […]

My Twitter feed is always good for a laugh or two every morning. This morning was no different.
“You need to be able to say what your startup does in 2-4 words,” tweeted serial founder David Sacks. “No one has the time or attention span for an elevator pitch anymore.”
I guess Sacks is a very busy guy.
But we’re all busy, right? Heaven forbid a founder should dare to waste my time by taking up more than the requisite five seconds Sacks deigns to give to startup entrepreneurs.
I’m all for efficiency. But some things shouldn’t be rushed. Understanding a founder’s value proposition …read more […]

Capital expenditure from 2020 to 2024 will be concentrated in Brazil’s offshore “pre-salt” formation, with a special emphasis on its Buzios field, said Petroleo Brasileiro SA , as the firm is formally known. The presentation, which was accompanied by comments from Petrobras executives at the firm’s New York Investors’ Day, was the first time …read more […]
