Since the arrival of the original iPhone, investors have had the chance to profit more than 4,500% on Apple's stock (AAPL)... So it's natural that some investors think the best way to profit from Apple's success is to simply buy AAPL shares and watch them rise. But Apple already sits at a more than $2.4 […]

1) Following up on Wednesday's e-mail, in which I commended The Wall Street Journal for a great piece of investigative journalism, Facebook Knows Instagram Is Toxic for Teen Girls, the WSJ has subsequently published three additional horrifying stories about the social media giant. Facebook (FB) is one of the greatest, most dominant businesses of all […]

Editor's note: Regular Empire Financial Daily readers are familiar with our friend and colleague Jeff Brown over at Brownstone Research... He's one of the most sought-after tech investment experts in the world. And for the next few days, we're turning things over to him to share the details about a once-in-a-decade opportunity to profit with […]

1) I wanted to share some advice I gave to a reader who wrote: "I don't have any income other than Social Security and have a very, very small stash. I would like to try investing in something that might give me a return. With my knowledge (zippo) and a tiny amount of money, is […]

Yesterday, tech giant Apple (AAPL) held its California Streaming event, providing its annual fall update to the product line… This annual product reveal is always highly anticipated and closely watched, although expectations were perhaps a bit muted in terms of what to expect as 2021 is considered an off-year when it comes to revolutionary upgrades […]

1) I'm biased, of course, but I think my colleague Berna Barshay's free Empire Financial Daily is a must-read. She and I write our daily missives completely independently and quite differently. While we have similar approaches to investing, I tend to touch on various topics, while she does a deep dive into only one each […]

1) In my August 17 e-mail, I shared an excerpt on portfolio management from my forthcoming book, The Rise and Fall of Kase Capital.

► After a year of clashing, Epic Games – maker of the hugely popular video game Fortnite – scored a courtroom win against tech giant Apple (AAPL)... On Friday, Federal Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in favor of Apple on nine of 10 counts... but gave Epic a win on the tenth: she issued an […]

1) This kind of foolishness is yet another warning flag that I'm monitoring: Bitcoin to Bucks: Crypto Fans Borrow to Buy Homes, Cars – and More Crypto. Right now, it's still pretty small, so let's hope regulators step in before it becomes a real problem. Excerpt: Michael Anderson mined bitcoin in his dorm room and […]

► The desire to accumulate 'things' seems to be inherent to humans... It ranges across societies – from the little girl who collects Barbie dolls to the billionaire who owns dozens of sports cars. For some folks, the thrill of searching for and acquiring a specific item is the whole point of the activity. Others […]

► Until recently, nobody had really heard the term 'NFT'... However, if you watch CNBC, follow any financial media, or use any form of social media, you've likely heard it a lot recently. The idea of an NFT – or "non-fungible token" – is polarizing, garnering attention from both skeptics and fans and almost always […]

1) After the market close today, we're publishing the latest issue of my colleague Berna Barshay's Empire Market Insider newsletter... For this month's recommendation, Berna and her analyst Alex Griese did some boots-on-the-ground research in the Sunshine State to take a look at company operations and meet with management. They've found an undervalued stock that […]

► The investment world offers many different types of assets... Of course, stocks, bonds, and options are the most popular... And then there are alternative investments – a wide selection of all "other" asset types. Within the universe of alternative investments, some of the most exotic are collectibles... and in particular, trading cards. Chances are […]

1) Following up on my market and macro overview in my September 2 e-mail, I wanted to share another reason why I'm constructive on the market, courtesy of my colleague Enrique Abeyta. Here's an excerpt from his missive yesterday to subscribers of his Empire Elite Trader newsletter... A Closer Look at 'Giving Season' in the […]

► The practice of collecting items – gold, art, ornaments, etc. – is almost as old as civilization itself... Over the centuries, holding a collection of objects took on various meanings. But each chapter in the history of collectibles contributed to the longstanding legacy of a practice that is still very much alive and well […]

1) Following up on my market and macro overview in Thursday's e-mail, the debate about inflation continues to rage... Some folks think we have a big problem and point to this announcement (White House More Than Doubles Its Inflation Forecast in New Update) and this chart (source): However, most experts – and, importantly, the bond […]
