1) Insider Purchases: Inside the Buy

Tracking Big-Money Moves in the Stock Market

Follow the Leaders: Insider Purchases That Matter and Market Signals You Shouldnโ€™t Ignore

Insider purchases often signal confidenceโ€”but theyโ€™re not foolproof. For every Tesla (TSLA) or Microsoft (MSFT), thereโ€™s an Enron or WorldCom. Curious to learn more about when insiders hit home runs and when they struck out? Check this out. Let's just make sure "Insiders" never reads "Inside Hurts!"ย

2) Hedge Fund Top Bets: Inside the Buy

Tracking Big-Money Moves in the Stock Market

Follow the Pundits and Institutionals: When Big Bets Matter (and When They Donโ€™t)

Leading hedge fund and mutual fund positions often signal confidence in specific stock investmentsโ€”but letโ€™s not pretend theyโ€™ve cracked the stock market code or are infallible. Not even legends like Warren Buffett, Renaissance Technologies, or Bill Ackman can bat 1.000. After all, even the pros sometimes strike out and find themselves holding the bag.

Invest in the Innovators and the Breakthrough Ideas: When New Is the Right Brew

Some companies bring breakthrough technologies or solutions that change the worldโ€”and generate immense wealth for investors. Others claw their way back after setbacks, proving resilience and innovation. Every decade has its share of market winners, but for every Netflix (NFLX) or Alphabet (GOOG/L), thereโ€™s a Lehman Brothers or Blockbuster waiting in the wings.

Invest Overseas to Diversify Risk and Capitalize on New, Foreign Growth and Value Plays

China, Israel, Brazil, India, South Korea, Japanโ€”the list of countries where opportunities emerge is as diverse as the cuisines they offer. From tech to commodities and biotech, international markets hold gems. Some companies are cutting-edge innovators; others are comeback stories offering massive value.

But for every Louis Vuitton (LVMUY) or Mercadolibre (MELI), thereโ€™s a Wirecard AG (Germany) or Evergrande Group (China) ready to remind you that not all bets pay off.

5) They Are Rare, But Wait Long Enough and There's a Chance You'll Find Ridiculously Ridicule Value Playsย 

Tracking Value Everywhere We Can Find Itย 

Some Stocks Will Never Come Back, But Other Turnarounds Will Create Tremendous Wealth and Blow Their Owners' Mind.ย 

Enterprise mishaps, bad headlines, or market meltdowns can send certain stocks plummeting to what seem like irresistible prices. Sometimes, itโ€™s the deal of a lifetimeโ€”other times, itโ€™s a value trap dressed up as a bargain.

But with a bit of luck, a new management team, or the next bull market, miracles happen. Turnarounds have the potential to mint wealth or leave you crying into your portfolio. Letโ€™s separate the true value gems from the trapsย in disguise and the bottomless pits.

6) Gold, Bitcoin, Commodities, Materials, Agriculture, REIT's: Diversification Is Key, But How Much and Where?

When stocks sell off, other areas of the market may go up. Which and why, and to what extent?

Gold serves as a hedge against inflationโ€”or does it? How about Bitcoin?

Gold has long been touted as the go-to hedge against inflationโ€”but has it truly stood the test of time? And Bitcoinโ€”well, letโ€™s just say its status as a currency is still up for debate.ย Meanwhile, commodities and agriculture have their own quirks: theyโ€™re as volatile as the weather and as unpredictable as the markets themselves.

Still, these alternative assets tend to follow their own unique dynamics, offering meaningful diversification when handled wisely. Theyโ€™re worth adding to a portfolioโ€”but not at any price, and only in moderation. After all, diversification into poor investments is just bad decision-making in disguise.
