In choosing today’s recommendation, I returned to a sector that was white-hot a few years ago, bringing big profits to investors who got out before the sector collapsed. But now the sector is back in favor and my selection is the leading Chinese stock in the industry.

The market’s main trend remains up, though there is certainly some rotation going on, with technology stocks pulling back and financials and medical stocks surging. My advice is to react slowly to these shifts, taking things on a stock by stock basis according to what the stocks are actually doing—and not assuming anything.

The market remains in a strong uptrend, and thus I continue to recommend that you be heavily invested in stocks that will help you meet your investment goals. At the same time, however, you need to manage risk, and it’s worth noting that the higher the market climbs, the greater the potential for loss once the uptrend ends.

Aflac and Reinsurance Group of America are both Cabot recommendations.

One method that works for a lot of investors is the value investing system developed more than 80 years ago by Benjamin Graham.

Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter, launched in 2003, uses the teachings of Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, in a system that safely builds long-lasting wealth. Unlike Cabot’s growth publications, the letter doesn’t use market timing, instead relying on a 76-year-old system, followed by investors such as billionaire Warren Buffett, to pick undervalued stocks and hold them as they reach a specified valuation.

After surging to new highs in late March, today’s recommendation has pulled back quietly but steadily throughout April and my goal is for readers to get on board somewhere near the bottom of the current correction.

In selecting today’s stock, I swung back to the conservative side, and selected an undervalued stock in the energy/industrial sector that has recently resumed its upward trend as institutions climb back on board.

I often get asked, “How do you choose which call to sell when executing a Buy-Write?” Another question I often get is about volatility. Here are answers, using ABT.

Today’s recommendation is a doozy. It may go to the moon, or it may fall flat on its face, but it’s got a good story, and I think we’ve got a decent entry point here.

In choosing today’s stock, I selected one that’s not only undervalued but also at a low-risk entry point, technically. It’s a company you’ve never heard of, and I think you’ll like the story. As to the current portfolio, most of our stocks still look great! But I’m recommending taking profits in two.

Everyone knows Warren Buffett. As the dean of value investing in the U.S, the Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) draws thousands of people to his annual meetings in Omaha. As the world’s greatest investor, Warren Buffett seemingly has it all. But there’s one major advantage you have over the Oracle of Omaha.

For most Americans, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer. Millions of families will cook out on the grill, drink beer and watch the Indianapolis 500. In the south, they’ll swim, and in the north, they’ll wish they could. At the same time, Memorial Day provides an opportunity—even if just for a moment—to remember those who gave their lives for our great country.

Canadian stocks are a good way to diversify your portfolio without taking on too much risk. And here’s one Canadian stock that appears quite undervalued.

GILD has soared from under 20 to over 120 over the past four years, thanks to mushrooming revenues from Sovaldi and Harvoni, the company’s hepatitis C drugs, revenues grew 52% from last year—and that was the slowest revenue growth rate in five quarters!. But the stock is very well known, and some analysts (Goldman Sachs apparently among them) are worried that falling prices and competition will cut into the company’s fat profit margins.

It isn’t a self-driving car or an internet start-up, but this boring retailer is an undervalued stock with tons of upside.

Since I was child, Memorial Day has meant a canoe trip on the Ipswich River here in Massachusetts, and that’s where I am today, enjoying nature, unplugged. A small part of the day, as always, will be devoted to honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. But for me, a larger part will be devoted to wondering whether war will ever become obsolete as a tool for conflict resolution. In the long term, I’m optimistic that mankind will eventually evolve to put the practice of war behind us. War is destructive, and I’d rather be productive. But I’m not holding my breath.

Today’s recommendation is a steel stock! It’s a sector that nobody is excited about, but the value proposition is great, and the stock has just blasted off following an excellent earnings report.

Today’s recommendation is a case in point. After a long three-year waiting period, the stock broke out to new highs yesterday and followed through today. The stock’s name will probably be familiar to you; its story is certainly interesting.

At Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, Warren Buffett talked about his strategy for finding the best long-term stocks. Here’s what he said.
