Friday File: Benchmarked Returns, Some Clunker Updates, and Coinbase

I thought I’d start with a “benchmarked returns” question, since a couple readers have asked recently how the Real Money Portfolio’s returns compare to the broader market. In general, I have usually done a little better than the US stock averages (I use the S&P 500, just for convenience), but sometimes I’ve done a little […]

What’s with this “Pre-IPO Code” Stuff from Jeff Brown?

I’ve gotten a lot of questions in the past couple days about Jeff Brown’s “Pre-IPO Code” presentation, in which he teases the idea of this “Pre-IPO” investing strategy as he pitches his new Blank Check Speculator newsletter. And I’ve got good news… and bad news. The good news is, I can explain what he’s talking […]

Friday File: Is the Shaq SPAC the Last Straw, or the Straw that Stirs the Drink?

Let’s start with the obvious, just to get my weekly brain dump underway for you: We don’t know what the election will hold, or where the market will go from here… I continue to think stocks are pretty expensive, particularly the hottest tech stocks (and I still own a lot of them), but I also […]

“Super Battery: Taking On The $100 Billion Lithium-Ion Market.”

We turn once again, dear friends, to my favorite kind of newsletter teaser ad: the promotion of “one little company” as the linchpin investment for exposure to a huge global trend. This time, it’s Alex Koyfman promoting his Penny Stock Millionaire newsletter ($999/year) by promising to reveal the name of a little “Super Battery” company […]
