With consumers being stuck at home for the past couple of years and the summer season incoming, who couldn’t use a vacation right now? According to a…
My solution to tame the bear market is a combination of 3 inverse stock ETFs and 3 shorting bond ETFs to make money as the market heads lower. In fact, in June alone the S&P 500 is down -11.07% while our strategy has produced a +5.04% gain. So clearly this strategy is working. Right now you don’t need more evidence…

As we enter a new trading week, investors could be on the lookout for defensive stocks in the stock market. For one, this would be due to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which rose 8.6% year-over-year in May. This came as a surprise as it exceeded the 8.3% Wall Street was estimating. In addition to that, consumer sentiment slumped to…
Some drivers might be fighting the idea of ever driving an electric vehicle (EV), but it looks like their protestations are in vain.
