I can tell my readers are up on their current events, because this week, they sent questions about whether to buy, sell, or hold stocks that were ripped right from the headlines.
But of course, you never get the whole stock story from the news, do you? And you certainly don’t hear what you need to buy to cash in, let alone what to sell to stay safe.
I have a grand total of five buys for everyone this week, including a company that was just vindicated in court, and another one that’s buying back $60 billion in shares and boosting its dividend by 11%.
