As a stock-market journeyman, you eventually learn to keep track of things… I’ve made some bold claims throughout the years. You almost have to. You can’t win em’ all. I’m only human. But for the most part, well… It’s been fun.Prediction:

There is no doubt that the road will be bumpy in the short-term and it almost seems crazy to put money back into this market when every headline is negative.But bear markets DO NOT last forever and the government’s plans (while expensive) will ultimately stimulate the economy. Also, the major indices are trading at roughly a 40% discount from their highs. From a fundamental standpoint, I have not seen a better time to invest in stocks in my entire career!

Today, most small caps are overvalued. They are more expensive (compared to large-caps) than at any time in the last 30 years. The Russell 2000 is trading at its highest premium to large-cap stocks since 1979 (more than three decades).This is why small-caps will face a correction over the next six to nine months.

Remember Thanksgiving 2012… because you may never get a better time to buy small-cap stocks.I’ve only seen valuations this good twice in my 18- year career… once in 2001 and again in 2009.  As I said earlier, the average small-cap stock (as measured by the Russell 2000 Index) is down 11% in the past two months. Some stocks are down even more – 30%-plus dur­ing the same period. Hundreds of them are trading below 10 times earnings… I haven’t seen values this good since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

June 27th, 2012: Daily Wealth (when working at Stansberry Research)Prediction:

You see, there’s a problem in the gold industry that few people talk about. It’s causing gold stocks to plummet. It’s causing CEOs to get fired. And it could result in most gold companies going bankrupt over the next few years.  If you’re invested in this space, you need to be aware of what’s going on…

And it doesn’t end there…. Throughout the years, on top of predicting these massive market swings, I’ve been able to pinpoint winners along the way. After-all, it was my job. Between working for CNBC’s Jim Cramer and writing at TheStreet.com… to becoming a lead Editor for largest independent financial newsletter on the planet… all the way to where I am at today… I’ve spent countless hours following the biggest emerging trends in tech, biotech, resources, retail, entertainment… anything really. Here’s a portfolio of stocks I recommended along the way…
