With the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) showing signs of rolling over again, potentially revisiting their April lows, many investors are frozen. But this isn’t a time to panic. It’s a time to sharpen your edge. And in this market, fundamentals won’t help you. Earnings season has made one thing clear: CEOs and CFOs have no idea what’s coming in the next six to twelve months. Macro uncertainty is off the charts, and the data is changing daily. That’s why I keep hammering the same point: now is...

The stock market is a fantastic arena that allows the average person to generate life-altering wealth. The broader indexes have done well. However, investors who want to supercharge their returns can certainly look to identify individual businesses that have what it takes to boost portfolio gains.
