Miss anything last week?
The most popular article last week was all about a Mark Skousen ad... he's touting his "Trade of the Year" for 2019, a telecom stock that apparently has some kind of "special sauce." How can you resist? Follow along here as the Thinkolator gets you some answers.
We started on Monday with a re-released story about "Extreme Dividends"... an ad touting stocks that pay dividends large enough to return your entire investment in a day. And, as usual, there's a bit of truth to it... just click here for our story.
Who's up for a "secret stock?" I just love it when the pitches say they've got a secret... and I can't resist trying to sniff out the truth behind their tease. This week it was the Cabot folks talking up a "secret" with a 6.1% dividend... and I know we all just love dividends, right? Thinkolator results here.
Coming near the end of the week, we got to one that really generated a lot of discussion... Matt McCall has been teasing a "Jesus Battery" that you can recharge much faster (and thousands of times), and that won't catch on fire even if you shoot it. Plenty of uncertainty over this one, but I can share some thoughts and a solid guess for your edutainment... justclick here for that one.
And I finished up the week, as usual, with the Friday File for our favorite people -- it's January, so we're still knee-deep in the annual review of all my Real Money Portfolio stocks... this week I got to the FANG stocks and the TOAST stocks. Don't know what the TOAST stocks are? It's OK, no one else does either, and no one else seems willing to use my acronym.... but you canread my thoughts here.
