Is Netflix On Your Conviction List???

Happy New Year to Netlflix.  Netflix has gained 16% during the first week
of trading for the year, 10% alone on Friday after Goldman Sachs added Netflix
to its conviction list.  Stocks that make
their conviction list are hand-picked stocks that are expected to outperform
and deliver meaningful upside.  So much
so, Goldman Sachs think Netlflix will be higher by 50% over the next 12 months.
  50% upside represents a stock price of
$400.

Goldman Sachs believes
Netflix’s investment in content, technology and distribution will continue to
drive subscriber growth above Wall Street expectations both in the U.S. and
internationally.

Netflix has been
investing in original movies and programming to grow its

Upside Targets for SPX Running Out of Gas

After puking the day before the S&P 500 ripped higher on Friday on better than expected economic data.  The volatility has been wild for sure and the question is where can price go if we see some follow through on Monday
Upside SPX Target
What is great about taking out a major support level is it makes for a nice clean resistance target.  As you can see in the chart below the prior support area of 2580-2560 is our clear upside target now.
Price will either rally to this point (assuming we move higher), test and bounce off of it before going lower

Tenants: Your Most Important Asset in Rental Real Estate

When investing in rental real estate we can focus on price and location all we want, but even though we must get those right it will not matter if we cannot procure and retain quality tenants.
Your Most Import Asset in Rental Real Estate
This is hands down your tenants.  The rental income that comes from your tenants is what provides your cash flow and pays down the principal of the mortgage if you carry one.
The rental income is what builds your wealth in rental real estate.  Sure, you can have appreciation or buy something at a great discount, but those are

Five Financial Books to Read in 2019

At the start of every year I like to share five financial related books to read.  Some are newer and some are classics, but they are all that provide some type of wisdom that has served me well in my personal finances.
 Five Financial Books to Read in 2019
1.) The Richest Man in Babylon – George S. Clason
This is a classic that everyone should read.  It is essentially your foundation for financial know how.  Thought the setting is ancient Babylon, the book uses simple parabes that display financial lessons through the experience of the characters within.

Why I Say “TURN OFF THE TV”! $AAPL $SPX $QQQ

The TV and talking heads on CNBC, from an intermediate to longer term perspective, may be some of the worst real time advice that is available to the mainstream today. You have to understand that they are making money off your clicks, and off your views and even the “Best” are mostly only good at “buying and holding” Let’s take a look at $AAPL over the past few months.

I have marked an area of $AAPL that, infamous Buy and Hold investor, Warren Buffett claimed to the world that the iPhone was greatly undervalued. Berkshire Hathaway is now currently 25% long

Have Investors Been Bird Boxed? Open Your Eyes! $SPX $IWM $GDX $TLT $GLD

The lack of emotion and worry in the market today is insane. There are so many investors and talking heads that are so sure the market bottom has been made and 2019 is going to be like 2017. Many believe that the bulk of the volatility is behind us…This is EXACTLY what markets do. They find a way to get the herd complacent and then BOOM! The market resets before anyone has a chance to get out.
Did you know the volatility in 2018 was not even in the top 20% of the most volatile years in the past 70+ years?

Bitcoin Technical Analysis: PRICE RISES BUT VOLUME REMAINS WEAK

Bitcoin has broken out of the wedge it’s been consolidating in over the past couple weeks. It’s risen from $3,690 to about $3,900 at the time of writing this post.

We aren’t yet seeing the kind of volume we need to sustain a bull run. Currently overall volume is just above $5.2 Billion. I’d like to see it at least above $8 Billion on a consistent basis.

Shorts have dropped, while longs are stacking fairy significantly. If longs continue to rise and volume remains weak, market makers may drive price down to liquidate these new long positions.

The Rich Get Richer – This Infographic Says It All

For decades now there has been the outright cry of a shrinking middle class in the United States.  That, coupled with a larger concentration of wealth among the one percent has been to the chagrin of the American public for some time.
However, most don’t know what the actual income and wage numbers look like.  I recently stumbled across this info in an awesome article on Vox.
Where’d My Money Go?!?
In 1989 this was the income breakdown per every $100 USD among the different wage classes.
As you can see the top 20% got a large chunk of that income, but it was

Is Bitcoin Setting Up For an Explosive Move to Bring in the New Year?

Bitcoin continues to get squeezed, creating higher lows and lower highs. Overall volume remains weak. As price approaches the apex of the larger wedge it’s operating in, we should prepare for a larger move.

Looking at the 4 hour RSI, we can see it’s also getting squeezed. This also suggests a larger move to come in the next 24-48 hours.

In today’s video analysis I discuss, traps to avoid, possible trade scenarios, short term price movement and so much more. I hope you find it helpful.

New Year: Same Rules For Successful Investing

As we count down the last hours before putting a close to 2018 and turning a new year it is good to remember it’s not always about doing something new or different to start on the right foot anew, but to continue doing those things that work.

Getting refocused is always a good thing and using the turn of the new year to do so is more than okay.
