Prepare to Prosper in Turbulent Times

Most investors don’t prepare to prosper in Turbulent Times.

Instead, they bury their head in the sand and hope their investments don’t get crushed too badly.

It’s a classic mistake.

And, not surprisingly, the Boyz in the club are quick to take advantage of your lack of willingness to buy when there’s “blood on the street.”

 

Cue up:  February 10, 2025 when the DOW hit 44,764.

And in just over one month it fell to 38,264 (-14.5%).

 

As of this writing it’s just under 45,000.

 

Translation:  It’s back up an impressive +17.3% in less than five months.

 

 

Why You Need to Prepare to Prosper in Turbulent Times

 

 

There’s no doubt the markets can be spooky like Feb-March of 2025.

But for the most part, 2025 has proven how you can be rewarded when you prepare for Turbulent Times.

 

Earlier this year we wrote “Why We Love Utilities” in our monthly newsletter – and recommended some of the safest utility stocks available – and if you bought them, you were rewarded handsomely.

Ironically (or NOT) most investors overlook utility stocks because they are boring and/or are more suitable for widows and orphans.

But with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that dynamic has changed.

Why?

The power necessary to drive AI far exceeds the current supply.

As a result, utility companies are expected to invest over $1.2 Trillion just to keep up with the demand for AI.

So, think of it as a way to be in on the AI surge without the risk of most AI stocks…many of which will go belly up like during the Dotcom bubble.

 

Keep in mind we’re trying to emphasize the importance of not getting caught up in the madness created by hype artists cashing in on the AI craze.

Because there will be a shake-out in Tech/AI stocks.

So, look for opportunities that abound when fear raises its ugly head…even if it’s in boring stocks like utilities.

 

And while we’re on the subject of fear, don’t be surprised if, before the end of 2025 we’ll see more wild swings in the market.

The question then becomes:  Are you prepared to Prosper in Turbulent Times.

If not, you need to read our “Simplifying Wall Street…In Plain English” monthly newsletter (HERE) where we highlight certain utility stocks in this environment.

And unlike most financial publications, it’s written In Plain English making it simple and easy to understand.

Try it out on a monthly basis with no long-term commitment (HERE).

And for the price of a couple of lattes, it could change your life.

Share this with a friend…especially if they buy lattes.

They’ll thank YOU later.

And tell them:
