While expectations are high and caution is certainly warranted, we don't think it's quite that simple. While the Oscillator and Williams' work do point to possible selling pressure ahead, we don't want to get too bearish. However, we don't think the risks are so elevated as to warrant more than a small cash raise. We still view Nvidia as an "own it, don't trade it" stock, but we also don't keep our heads in the sand.

To start, the major funds that are marketed as "low volatility" or "minimum volatility" have been living up to the label. JPMorgan Asset Management has been a leader in this area, with Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ) now holding more than $48 billion in combined assets, according to FactSet. Another area is preferred stock funds. The biggest preferred stock ETF, the iShares Preferred & Income Securities ETF (PFF) , has gained 0.5% in the third quarter, though it has dipped 1.4% over the past month. "And those call features of a growing part of the preferred market has also helped in terms of the rate volatility and the impact."

In 2015, he created TickerTags, a social media data aggregator that tracks company mentions, and sold it to Jefferies' M Science. To be fair…Speculating and making decisions based on social media trends is a risky wager. Wall Street doesn't always respond to social media trends that could negatively drive fundamentals because there aren't tools to understand the impacts, McKeown noted. In the event a social media trend is mentioned, it's not factored into their valuation model, Ober added. How social media sentiment plays into a thesis should depend on an investor's time horizon.

Hedge fund industry insiders are abuzz right now about "portable alpha," a blast-from-the-past strategy that's undergoing a revival. According to the Morgan Stanley white paper, it can take on a variety of forms, including "dedicated portable alpha funds, portable alpha share classes, portable alpha feeder funds and other solutions." Advertisement"It's a nice way of smuggling hedge funds into your portfolio if you're an allocator," said Jon Caplis, CEO of hedge fund research firm PivotalPath.

Melinda French Gates' three children grew up in one of the world's wealthiest families. Not wanting to raise entitled kids, their parents worked to give them something resembling a "middle-class" upbringing, French Gates says.

"First of all, they had an allowance, so we absolutely did not just buy them things," French Gates said. French Gates told The New York Times.

It sounds simple enough — rent comes in and, ideally, it's greater than the rental expenses, resulting in positive cash flow — but real estate investors agree that rental income shouldn't be categorized as passive. "You hear that real estate investing is passive, and that's certainly not been my experience," New England-based investor Tess Waresmith, who owns five units, told Business Insider. But when I'm not actively buying, I don't spend much time on real estate." Real estate syndicationWith real estate syndication deals, a group of investors pool together their capital to purchase a single property managed by the syndicator. He recommends starting with an online search for "real estate syndicates" or "commercial real estate syndicates" if you're specifically interested in commercial deals.

Here, he can see different metrics for stocks, allowing him to watch for signals he likes to trade on. He also looks at the stock's day's volume; if it rises above 25% of its 50-day volume, it's another likely trade. But perhaps one of the best signals that a breakout is about to really outperform the market is those with very high volume relative to the past two years.

However, investors were also content to ramp up credit risk, directing more than $1.6 billion into ETFs with underlying bank loans and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, State Street found. Big institutional investors can purchase bank loans — which lending institutions make to companies — and benefit from the loans' floating coupon rate. CLOs are similar to bank loans: These are pools of floating rate loans made to businesses, which can be non-investment grade. Bank loans and CLOs tend to have less price sensitivity to changes in rates, meaning they are short duration. "Rate policy is evolving and uncertain, and it's unlikely to be less cloudy as we get into the summer months."

During a scenic private cruise, Buffett, Gates, and Gates' dad played bridge. "Buffett towed the Gateses straight to McDonald's to buy hamburgers in the middle of the night," Schroeder wrote.

Stocks often trade above or below their fair value, which means active managers who choose stocks wisely can score huge eye-popping returns. "What we're really looking for is opportunities where that dollar can also compound to be two, four, 10," Robotti said. "People say, 'Oh, who cares if you buy a cheap stock, the market just won't ever pay attention. When the economics of a business — even if people hate that business — are extremely strong, the stock follows." "If you bought it at 20 cents on the dollar and it doubles, you don't sell it at 40 cents on the dollar," Robotti said.

Though municipal bonds generally offer income that's free of federal income taxes – and state taxes if the investor resides in the issuing state – they also come with lower yields compared to other bonds. When it comes to muni bonds, the higher your tax bracket, the more valuable the tax-free income is. A tax-conscious approach to fixed income You don't have to bulk up on municipal bonds to get the best yield for your tax scenario. Municipal bonds are good contenders in taxable brokerage accounts, where investors can benefit from their tax-free income. Some fund families offer "tax-aware strategies" either in mutual funds or ETFs, which can include some exposure to municipal bonds, as well as equities.

ARM Holdings (ARM) offers several technologies instrumental in AI applications, notably its advanced processor designs and intellectual property. Operationally ARM Holdings is very well positioned. In this case, ARM Holdings is currently valued at about $174 billion, more than 56 times trailing 12 months revenues, and recent price action in particular looks extended. This would provide about $27 worth of upside from here, while providing $40 worth of downside insurance in the event that ARM Holdings pulls back. For example the $140/$175/$200 call spread risk reversal here incurs the risk of owning the stock at $140/share.
