Doc's note: At times, it might feel like it takes a lot of time, effort, and smarts to succeed in the markets...
But today, my good friend (and founder of my publisher, Stansberry Research), Porter Stansberry, shares the three most important things every investor must understand in order to be a successful investor...
Are you prepared to live past age 115?
A 2016 study published in the leading journal Nature claimed that we have a "maximum limit" on our lifespan...
In medical school, we were taught that if all men lived to be 120 years old, every single one would get prostate cancer.
But for those of us who won't live that long, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives, according to the American Cancer Society.
Right now, you can think of AI as a decently functioning intern or assistant with moderate skills.
But it's going to get better. If AI gets to human-level intelligence, it won't be limited to entry-level jobs.
Doc's note: Some of the worst investors are emotional investors... And they're often left with the biggest losses or missing out on the biggest gains.
Today, Whitney Tilson – editor of Stansberry's Investment Advisory – details an easy three-step process you can use to keep control of your emotions so you don't hold on to a stock for too long... or sell a winner too soon.
For a while, David Lam thought his groundbreaking product had flopped.
This was 1981. It was the early days of the home-computer boom, and the technology was moving fast.
Most American men are ostriches...
They bury their heads in the sand, even preferring to help out with housework instead of seeing the doctor.
It seemed like the world was on fire...
From mid-February to early April, President Donald Trump's trade war caused a panic in the investing community. Suddenly, everyone started talking about a recession. As a result, the S&P 500 Index fell 18.9%, almost entering bear market territory.
You're probably a master at haggling...
Maybe you have war stories about duking it out with a sleazy car salesman... going back and forth until he accepted your terms.
Doc's note: The best investments share certain qualities. And in today's issue, Whitney Tilson explains one of the most important traits of winning companies... how they handle their cash.
