Over the past seven years, I’ve been running a series titled, “10 Stocks to Buy & Hold Forever.”

Recognize the fact that the market, reflecting the sum knowledge and perceptions of all investors, is smarter than any one of us.

Unlike technical analysis, the fundamental analysis of a company’s financial ratios involves making some judgments about future growth potential.

Eighteen months ago, Papa John’s stock was trading at all-time highs. Thanks to a series of embarrassing missteps by its namesake CEO, it’s down 46% since.

If I did nothing but buy volatility in instances when my downside is breakeven, I would do it literally 100 times out of 100.

These ten companies maintain strong balance sheets with low debt and lots of cash.

The inverted yield curve that has surfaced of late has investors concerned that a bear market is nigh. History says it won’t happen as soon as you think.

When Apple’s 7-for-1 stock split takes effect on June 9, it will bring the stock’s price down below $100.

Last July, I kicked off a series for Cabot Wealth Advisory titled Best Revolutionary Stocks, which proved very popular with readers.

Back on July 27, in a column titled “Sell Apple,” I told you that Apple, the world’s most loved and most highly valued company, was likely past its point of peak perception. I suggested that even though the company would continue to grow, its stock would suffer as investors slowly sold and went searching for the next Apple. (Precedents include both IBM and Microsoft.) Since that day, of course, the broad market has fallen apart, and it’s enlightening to see how certain stocks have behaved since then.

It would be nice to be absolutely certain about anything in the business world, but things just don’t work that way.

This month, we celebrate 44 years of publishing our flagship publication, Cabot Market Letter.

By bringing buyers and sellers together, BitAuto is performing a valuable service and enjoying great results.

Right now, I’m focused on stocks that have great growth prospects. One name I like is Align Technologies (ALGN).

Last week I introduced my new series on “Best Disruptive Stocks.” Ideally, these are companies that have the potential to impact our lives for the better.

Burger stocks exploded last year. It started with the IPO of Shake Shack (SHAK) in January, an offering that was priced at 21, but began trading at 47. It was fueled by lots of hype about trendy private chains, like Five Guys, In-N-Out Burger, Whataburger, Umami Burger and Iron Chef Bobby Flay’s Bobby’s Burger Palace.

Retail stocks haven’t gotten their usual Black Friday bump, with two major exceptions. But a closer look at these two retail “winners” reveals big warts.
