Porter Stansberry’s 4 Property and Casualty Insurance Companies

In a recent piece entitled “The One Business I’ll Teach My Children”, Porter Stansberry discusses why Insurance is the world’s best business. It reads like a lecture on factors to consider when investing in insurance companies – i.e. float and underwriting profits. However, he also shows a chart of “four of the best-managed property and […]

Is it safe yet to get back into TPL (Texas Pacific Land Trust)? (A question for those interested in royalties and could use a break from 5G, AI and IoT stocks.)

TPL used to be THE bright spot in the rather depressed or volatile Energy Sector. All came crashing down when the bitter feud between its trustees escalated to a blitzkrieg of derogatory remarks mailed to shareholders by both sides around proxy voting time. Due to my tiny position in the stock, I ignored the noise […]

What do you think of ESRT (Empire State Realty Trust)?

In their ”Bear Market Survival Event” video last month, the folks at Stansberry Research called this REIT a ”trophy asset” to have during a recession.

On "Immortality Switch" -- What's Kramer's "$6 Anti-Aging Stock?"

Posted on November 18, 2019

Do these anti-aging drugs and therapeutics include reversal of incontinence? What for the promises of a wrinkle-free, straight-walking, high-energy centenarian-plus existence if the internal plumbing won’t be working right? And do those billionaires a[...]

On "Immortality Switch" -- What's Kramer's "$6 Anti-Aging Stock?"

Posted on November 18, 2019

Travis, in relation to your personal investing rule "I don’t like to dabble in early stage biotechs”, could you clarify what you consider as “early stage”? As a biotech ignoramus, I'm not sure how many phases drug development goes through and if FD[...]

On Microblog: Best newsletter at teasing

Posted on November 18, 2019

Short answer: there is no “best” newsletter based on teases sleuthed on this site. As you stick around long enough and read through Travis’ analyses, you will realize that, more often than not, the teased stocks are pure hype written to lure unsus[...]

On Microblog: what is george gilder's moonshot stock using AI and crypto blockchain security?

Posted on November 15, 2019

@nw7us-tomas, The long term, overall picture of Gilder's stock teases as a group has changed (I think) with the announcement that centenarian KEMET is in the process of being acquired by Taiwanese company Yageo Corp for $27.20 per share. Chart-wise, the p[...]

On Microblog: Kemet Electronics (KEM)

Posted on November 14, 2019

KEM was one of the companies teased by George Gilder last summer. It may not have been his moonshot pick, but it certainly performed well soon after the summit and, arguably, the best of the stocks teased. I almost feel bad that this centenarian (yup, fo[...]

On Four (or Five) Stocks for the "World's Best Business"

Sounds like you bought before Nov 1st, when KNSL reported Earnings for the most recent quarter. By just looking at the chart, I'm assuming the report was really bad for the stock to plunge like that.[...]

On Four (or Five) Stocks for the "World's Best Business"

Posted on November 11, 2019

Thanks, Travis. For those that want to diversify or balance a portfolio a little better, I thought it might pay to seriously look into one of the most (if not THE most) boring yet stable industries out there. Does the property & insurance niche hold up fa[...]

On Microblog: Is Nokia a buy on the huge dip

Posted on November 9, 2019

Travis, this reader's post preceded the announcement on 11/6/19 of a renewed alliance between NOK & MSFT. I'm wondering if this alliance impacts in any way your above (latest) assessment of NOK or if the news is mere trivia.[...]

On Microblog: Nokia / Microsoft Renewed alliance - thoughts?

Posted on November 8, 2019

Boy did NOK hit rock bottom, literally. It plunged to $3.50 on October 29th. The last time NOK was at this level was in 2012! The general consensus on this site seems to be that the problem is with management, not business fundamentals. Has anyone else [...]

Nah, I’ll pass on ATOM and already own INSG which I suspect I’ll be dropping soon due to high volatility. Perhaps I’ve reached my maximum tolerance for hyperbole for the 5G and IoT stocks under $10 which tout unimaginable riches to come plus a secu[...]
