Theft in USA
Investors Aren’t Pricing in this Factor It’s election season coming up and one can expect a lot of turmoil in the streets, unusual shopping habits and lots of polarized activity on media sites.

Natural Gas & Oil Company for Investing
Unfortunate Timing with Everything; But Brighter Times Ahead? I am bullish on energy sectors for this whole decade.

$SWBI
171 years and Still Firing I wanted to bring some eyes to a sin stock that’s not too sexy, ground-breaking or “up and coming”–but at a time when we can expect more and more turmoil in society, sin stocks aren’t too bad of an idea. Smith and Wesson is a company that has 171 years […]
