Looking for recommendations.
DOW THEORY FORECASTS by Horizon Financial.
They don’t try to do too much, just recommend stocks that pass muster with their proprietary software, Quadrix. They are disciplined.
They have published weekly since 1946. I started our subscription when we were underwater on our net worth at age 40 in 1994. Today, we have a more than sufficient amount for retirement thanks to DTF. They also got me started on dividend reinvestment plans.
DTF not overtly political, since why alienate potential subscribers who might be liberal? I respect that. Hollywood could learn from them as they alienate conservatives and thereby leave conservative money on the table.
do the exact opposite of what he says ...
You will get wealthy quickly ...
Purchase their FOCUS LIST of stocks and you will beat most benchmarks.

for later
There are no “magic bullet” info sources that are going to be the end all be all.
The questions to answer are.
how much time do you have to invest in getting up to speed.
what are your investment goals.
what is your risk tolerance.
what types of investments are you willing to consider.
Do you believe that the political risk of the USA government is less then X other country.
While spdrs are a little more expensive then other stock portfolios, for smaller portfolios, the diversification helps minimize other risks while giving the opportunity to target individual market sectors.
In general because the human excrement that inhabits DC has been suckling the teats of wall street, individual stock picking is becoming a no go area. high volume trading on orders placed but not completed has allowed the big boys to force you to pay more while they profit off of the arbitrage. Bonds are out now that the commercial paper bubble is looking like it could do a housing bubble like crash as rates rise preventing ever less marginal companies access to the credit markets. Even R/E is under attack as the commies in dc seek to enslave and force you to move into their progressive utopian urban hell by denying you access to financing, insurance and permitting. Then there is the push to force you to give the gov your IRAs and 401Ks for another social security like scam.
the above screed is not meant to dishearten but to get you to think out of the box.
Don’t just look at what to buy, but how and should you sell before you buy ect. Puts, Stops ect. This is what to learn so you can prevent major losses and or earn from down turns. How ever its not for beginners, so learn, make a mock portfolio, refine your techniques and then deploy.
I’m not sure you can protect R/E investments however against a gov that is actively looking to force its sheeple to the urban pens for slaughter. Example the Camp fire fiasco in N-cali where the enviro wackos not only prevented culling dead trees and under brush to prevent massive fires but killed property insurance so you could not buy, build or protect your investment. Now that the Feds are going to be stuck with about a 150bl dollar bill that may change, but what if hildabeast was pres, those northern cali yahoos are conservatives that would rather die free then under the commie boot of natzi pelosi
Thanks, all...looks like I’ll subscribe to Morningstar...I thought it was $2000/yr, but is $199.
Also Martin Armstrong blog looks great...Harry Dent, too.
I’ve been investing 25 yrs and am not a beginner...my goal here was good info, trends, ideas...e.g., it was an article a bunch of years back which led me to buy the original top three 3d printing stocks...when Makerbot came out, I saw the writing on the wall and sold them nearly at the peak. I couldn’t have done that without some good trends and analysis reading. If I need to tweak anything analytical wise, I’ll break out Benjamin Graham stuff. Thanks, all. Yes, IBD is great except how they were anti-Trump...I won’t buy them for that reason...Forbes, too...Forbes is nothing but a list of richest soandso...No ideas anymore.
Harry Dent talks a really good game. I think he has been right. I know he was right once. Heck, a stopped clock is right over 700 times a year, on average.
Harry predicts lots and lots of stuff. And he couches much of it in vagueness and vagaries. He can be right on the money, but 12 months too early or 14 months too late.
Frankly, he does an admirable job of spinning a tale. But I would not risk more than $1,000 on what he advises.
The above is all IMO; past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Your mileage may vary.
The active topics view is also good.

Full disclosure: I am one cheap SOB when it comes to buying advise from ANYbody.
I got most of my investment ‘smarts’ by reading all of the investment newsletter that were in my local library.
Why pay for something I’d already ‘paid for’ (via my property taxes)? was my attitude.
Translation: Don’t buy the cow when the milk is free

If you don’t want IBD, you don’t want real business news.
