This wasn't available until just a few months ago... but now, these plays are right in the sweet spot. [Just click here to see how to get access](. --------------------------------------------------------------- July 22, 2019 Max Monday: Protect Yourself Against Downturns Using These Two Strategies By Tim Melvin Dear Reader, Happy Monday! I'm not your traditional investor by any means, because I don't do what the rest of Wall Street does. While the investment crowd is getting ready to jump off a financial cliff, I'm backing away into a lounge chair as I relax and earn great returns. However, I can still learn from those big heads mainly to know what not to do in the markets. In my lifetime of investing, I've learned the winning strategies to earn a pretty buck all along the way. So let's take a look at the books and then several quick-dive articles that I recommend adding to your library for greater financial success... This Week's Worthwhile Books --------------------------------------------------------------- [What Works on Wall Street, Fourth Edition: The Classic Guide to the Best-Performing Investment Strategies of All Time]( - by James O'Shaughnessy This should be on the bookshelf of every serious investor and referred to often. Jim O'Shaughnessy is a brilliant guy who breaks down what has and what has not worked for long term investors through the decades. His research s top-notch and he is an excellent writer so this is an easy to read and informative book that will help you make money in the stock market. Read more reviews [here](. [The Rum Diary: A Novel]( - by Hunter S. Thompson Last week was Thompson's birthday. This is his first novel and it reminds me of the very best of some of the beat novelists. Set in Puerto Rico in the 1950s it follows a young reporter through boozed soaked adventures. One review called it "Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic" to say that's probably an understatement. I am an enormous fan of Thompson (I mean come on- a booze-drinking, gun-shooting writer who does what he wants when he wants. What's not to love?) as is pretty much every writer and free thinker I've ever known. You can pick up a copy [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Your Quick-Dive Articles [Sell Your Leveraged Loans, Schroders Urges]( I've been saying this for several months now. There's too much money chasing too few good ideas in the leveraged loan space. Eventually it's going to end very badly. You may have more exposure to this potential disaster than you realize. If you own any floating rate funds or business development companies (BDCs), you own leveraged loans. The Fed is not going to raise rates and many of the deals that are being made today are covenant-lite, and do not offer adequate protections when things inevitably go south in the economy. Can read more about it [here](. [Exclusive Research: REITs Run the Game]( Conditions for the commercial real estate markets are pretty good right now and REITs will benefit. Balance sheets have deleveraged pretty much across the industry and cash flows are rising for many sectors. REIT operators have access to long-term low-cost capital to expand if needed. M&A prospects look good as well. I've been saying for years that the average individual investor does not own enough REITs. Equity REITs have outperformed stocks over time and in almost all bear markets of the last 30 years have done much better. In the big internet bust when everything went to pot, REITs had positive double-digit annual returns. [Buy REITs, cash checks, and sleep tight](. [Albert Einstein on Sifting the Essential from the N]([on-Essential]( The consensus view is that Albert Einstein was the smartest physicist of his time. According to several of his biographers, that was not the case at all. There were several that were way ahead of him when it came to theoretical physics. What Albert was best at was focusing on the essential elements of the theory that was needed to prove the concepts and finish the work. This is similar to the Charlie Munger concept of taking a simple idea, and taking it seriously. Taking one simple, proven idea seriously can make us better investors, and [maybe even better spouses, parents, and individuals](. [Retirement is a State of Mind]( By the definition used in this article, I'm retired. I do pretty much what I want, when I want pretty much every single day of my life. It just so happens that what I like doing is researching the markets to find ways to consistently make money and writing about them. Even when I was a broker and spent most of my time selling stocks and bonds, I had a blog for family and friends that I wrote in all the time about the research I was doing. Now I'm in a position where my ideas and strategies have made it possible for me to do this in shorts and a t-shirt and share the results with my readers. What do you love doing? How can you make money doing it? [Answer those questions and you can retire like me](. To the Max, [ Tim Melvin Here's what else I'm following... --------------------------------------------------------------- [Trump Wants Fannie and Freddie to Do Better - Now Everyday Americans Can Make a Fortune]( President Trump's administration has planned a sweeping overhaul of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since before he took office. Now, he's finally gotten what he wanted. Through Public Law 99-514, the two agencies are [distributing $72 billion](across the country. And smart Americans are using a brilliant investment strategy to claim their piece - $1,000 a month or more.
