WEEKEND UPDATE
January 19, 2019
Dear Valued Reader,

Happy weekend, Gumshoe friend!  Time to take a little break from the grind of watching your portfolio go up and down for a few days, but if you feel like thinking about some investments for the weeks to come, or satisfying your curiosity about the wild predictions about groundbreaking "secret" stocks that are being pitched to sell newsletters these days, well, we can help you with that, too... give me a few minutes, and I'll catch you up on the stories we covered this week...
The most popular article on the 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?  Just click below to...

Of the nearly 4,500 publicly traded stocks on the market today, in fact, no more than fifty of them deserve your time, attention, and money.

Of that small group, only eight are now trading at a price that makes them attractive to buy. In fact, I believe these are the only stocks worth your time and money.

These “Power Elite” stocks knock it out of the park year after year after year because they’ve tapped into the 3 most powerful forces in the global economy:

Addiction.  Necessity. And monopoly.

In other words, they sell products that people can’t stop buying. This free video explains why.

We started out the week 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.
