Diversification is a cornerstone of intelligent investing. Yet today, the MSCI World Index — widely used by passive investors — allocates 72% to US stocks. With US equities making up just 26% of global GDP, should investors be this concentrated in a single market? Maybe not, opines Nicholas Vardy, editor of The Global Guru.

I have a confession to make. There was once a time when I succumbed to the temptation of investing in story stocks. I would read, analyze, and buy and sell stocks based on my intellect, instincts, and deep experience. Now, I believe I have a far better shot at identifying a winner because of my current approach. One could be Vimeo Inc. (VMEO), notes Nicholas Vardy, editor of Microcap Moonshots.

When you examine the top-performing stocks of the past century, one thing becomes clear: Long-term, steady returns can lead to astronomical gains. Seemingly boring companies like Altria Group Inc. (MO) have turned modest investments into massive fortunes by compounding returns over decades, explains Nicholas Vardy, editor of The Global Guru.
Microcap stocks are an under-covered segment of the market. That also means that they offer some of the very best investment opportunities. It’s where Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett would go fishing if they only could. Alas, the size of their portfolios precludes them from doing just that. One I like is Lakeland Industries, Inc. (LAKE), highlights Nicholas Vardy, editor of Microcap Moonshots.

Tesla disrupted cars. Facebook disrupted the media and advertising. Netflix disrupted Hollywood. Disruptive technologies are nothing new. Canals and railroads disrupted transportation in the 1840s. Oil and steel disrupted manufacturing in the 1890s. Electricity, radio, and cars disrupted American's daily lives in the 1920s. The pioneers who led these disruptions generated generational fortunes. But each disruption also set off financial manias where average investors lost their shirts. This presentation will equip you with a historical perspective that will help you falling in to the same trap.
