  A stop-loss order is a type of order placed by an investor with a broker or trading platform to sell a security (such as stocks, bonds, or commodities) when it reaches a specific predetermined price level. The purpose of a stop-loss order is to limit potential losses on an investment position. Here's an example to help illustrate how a stop-loss order works: Let's say you purchase 100 shares of a stock at $50 per share. You're optimistic about the stock's potential, but you also want to protect yourself from significant losses. You decide to set a stop-loss order at $45 per share. If the stock price drops to or below $45 per share, your stop-loss order will be triggered, and your broker or trading platform will automatically sell your 100 shares at the prevailing market price. This helps you limit your potential losses, as you have defined a threshold at which you're willing to exit the position. In this example, if the stock price drops to $43 per share, your sto...

  New Chinese Law Raises Risks for American Firms in China, U.S. Officials Say U.S. counterintelligence officials say revised Chinese law potentially turns normal business activities into espionage WASHINGTON—U.S. counterintelligence officials are amping up warnings to American executives about fresh dangers to doing business in China under an amended Chinese law to combat espionage.  A bulletin being issued Friday by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center and viewed by The Wall Street Journal warns that the revised law is vague about what constitutes espionage and gives the government greater access to and control over companies’ data, potentially turning what would be considered normal business activities into criminal acts.  The amended counterespionage law, which takes effect Saturday, has unsettled foreign businesses in China. The publication of those revisions this spring came amid a wave of raids, inspections and other acts by Chinese authorities agai...

  Offshore oil drillers were about the worst place to be in 2020 as oil prices were falling and demand for crude seemed to be seeping away. Now, the stocks may be the ones to own as investors realize that oil will be needed to make the world go around for decades. Make no mistake, it was a historic downturn for providers of offshore rigs over the past few years. Oil prices tumbled during the pandemic lockdowns as driving nearly ceased, while the pivot toward renewable energy caused big oil companies to reduce their spending on drilling in hard-to-reach locales. Rigs were taken out of commission as they became too costly to operate profitably, but it wasn’t enough. Many of the offshore drillers eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2021 and 2022, wiping out investors who had bought shares as a value play. What a difference 12 months makes. The drilling companies, including Noble (ticker: NE), Valaris (VAL), and Seadrill (SDRL), emerged from bankruptcy in strong financial shape and are ...

 Intro to Swing Trading Stocks: Strategies and Indicators

  Inside the Mormon Church’s Globe-Spanning Real-Estate Empire From Guam to Cape Verde, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is using the financial cushion of its $100 billion investment portfolio to go on a temple-building spree A whistleblower revealed a few years ago that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had an estimated $100 billion investment portfolio, and at the time, church officials called the holdings a rainy-day account. They now say the money also has provided a financial foundation that gives the Mormon Church confidence to construct more than 100 temples, from Cape Verde to Guam, a series of stone-clad monuments exhibiting the church’s vast and expanding wealth. In Pocatello, Idaho, a city of 56,000 in the rural southeastern corner of the state, a recently constructed temple stands at 71,125 square feet. Its polished limestone flooring was quarried in Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of Jesus, and wood for its doors was imported from the Co...

  Managing your IRA (Individual Retirement Account) with stocks can be a viable investment strategy, but it's important to consider several factors before deciding if it's the right approach for you. Here are some key points to consider: Risk Tolerance: Investing in stocks involves a certain level of risk, as stock prices can fluctuate significantly in the short term. If you have a high risk tolerance and long-term investment horizon, you may be more comfortable with the potential volatility associated with stocks. Time Horizon: Consider your time horizon for retirement. If you have a long time until retirement, you may tolerate short-term market fluctuations and potentially benefit from the long-term growth potential of stocks. However, if you are nearing retirement or have a shorter time horizon, you may want to consider a more conservative investment approach to preserve capital. Diversification: It's crucial to maintain a well-diversified portfolio to manage risk effect...
