I love a good story.
I think in terms of “storylines.” So I’m constantly sifting through the narratives playing out around me. That’s how I process — and make sense of — the world that I see.
This story-based mindset was solidified during the 22 years I spent as a reporter, a career that earned me national recognition for my award-winning work covering big public companies, Wall Street, the economy and sectors like defense, biotech and finance.
My most memorable interviews included: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, General Electric CEO John F. “Jack” Welch and Forbes magazine publisher and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes.
The storylines I chronicled traveled in all sorts of directions — and took all sorts of forms: They spotlighted winners and losers, featured heroes and villains, and captured happiness and grief.
They also unveiled threats … and opportunities.
For folks like you and me, seeing and understanding those storylines is investing gold.
Find the threats … and you avoid the losses.
Find the opportunities … and you’ve found some of the best places to make money.
Wall Streeters refer to this as “top-down investing.” You investigate the “big picture” trends and storylines. Then you drill down and identify the sectors and specific companies that’ll be winners.
Those Big Money institutional players refer to storylines as “investing narratives.”
I prefer to avoid that “institutional jargon” and keep things simple, just knowing that the most powerful storylines lead to the most powerful profits.
It’s how you build wealth over the next three, five, eight, 10 years or more.
At my previous publication, Private Briefing, I followed the best half dozen or so dominant storylines at any single moment — knowing that most “narratives” remain relevant for a number of years.
That’s another part of wealth building — being active and understanding how the world is shaping around you.
Here’s why I’m telling you this.
I truly believe that it’s always a “stock picker’s market.” And by following the best storylines, you’ll find the best stocks.
That’s how we intend to operate in our “corner” of the investing world. And it’s why we created Stock Picker’s Corner (SPC).
We’re glad you’ve joined us here.
Having made that introduction, let’s take a look at the “Wealth-Building Storylines” I’m following right now …
The “Artificial Intelligence Era.”
Inflation and Income, which also includes this special interview about silver.
The “New Cold War” (Special Report No. 1 and Special Report No. 2).
And the “Next Blockbuster Era” in biotech.
As a guy who’s been making his living with words for four decades, I’ve constantly hunted for those great stories … meaning stories that make a difference for the folks in my audience.
And I’ve got plenty left in the tank.
For SPC followers and subscribers like you, I want to share the stories that matter, tell you which ones to tune out, and help you achieve the greatest of goals: Control over your own future.
Hope you keep coming back … to visit our little “corner” of the world.
See you next time;
