Well, that was unexpected. The bank run we saw last week at Silvergate (SI) and Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) was stunning and completely unforeseen. Unless, of course, you were listening to what I’ve been saying for 18 months: the Fed’s rate hikes make unprofitable, risky companies much less valuable, and fast. But the vast majority […]
Despite the volatility caused by two banks collapsing over the weekend, the broader market is still overvalued, so I have been avoiding that for the most part. Instead, I’ve been looking at special situations. And for this week’s Hidden Profit Report, I’ve uncovered two situations that have the potential to deliver strong returns no matter […]
I would love to be an unabashed stock market bull right now. It is very easy to be a market bull. People love a more optimistic message. If you are a market bull, you can have conversations about artificial intelligence, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and all that other exciting stuff. Bulls promote the idea of […]
Everybody loves tech stocks. After all, technology has changed the world and will continue to do so. The hard part is picking those tech stocks that will be the winners over time, and deliver potentially life-changing returns to shareholders. In tech stock investing, getting caught up in a story is even easier than usual. Consider […]
The past couple of weeks, we’ve talked about how looking at the right 13F filings can reveal some of the greatest investments to make right now. It’s like having Wall Street’s best analysts working for you, for free… If you know what to look for, of course. But before we move on to other segments […]

So today I’m going to share a money manager who’s 13F filings are full of proverbial “gold mines” for investors looking to beat the market… For those […]
Tuesday, February 21, marked the SEC’s first quarterly deadline for Form 13F filings of 2023. Money managers of all stripes must file this form with the SEC 45 days after the end of every calendar quarter. Comparing this quarter’s filing to previous filings allows us to see what the nation’s hedge fund, mutual fund, endowment, […]
I am not much for market watching. Over the years, I have learned that watching the minute-to-minute and day-to-day gyrations of the stock market is a colossal waste of my time. Attempting to execute short-term trades to squeeze profits from the psychological soup in the intraday stock market is usually a fool’s errand. I know […]
The markets are showing some signs of rolling over into a big move downward, but not soon. The tug-of-war between what the Federal Reserve says and what the market hopes the Fed will do continues to be front and center for equity prices. In other words, nothing much has changed since we last spoke. But […]
The Federal Reserve is the swing factor in the current market. The tug-of-war between what the Fed officials have said and what the market thinks the Fed really plans to do is ongoing and makes for a problematic investing and trading environment. Even our favorite special situations landscape is pretty quiet. Insiders are sitting still, […]
