Three horses with major shot at upending California Chrome in Belmont | FOX Sports on MSN
As I occasionally do, I will sometimes talk about subjects other than the stock market. The link above is about three horses that could be profitable in the Belmont Stakes. The New York track often has surprise winners. The author suggested three horses that might be able to beat California Chrome. I don't know what the final odds will be on these horses such as Commanding Curve who finished second in the Kentucky Derby, but if you can find a horse with 10 to 1 odds or greater, there is a good chance you could make five times your money if you make the right bet.
I have been to Churchill Downs quite a few times during the fall season in November around Thanksgiving. The only times I won involved a $4 boxed exacta bet where I guessed which two horses would come in 1st and 2nd in either order. I won around $26 one time and somewhere in the $30 range the other time. So, you could have an exacta box bet with California Chrome and Commanding Curve in the Belmont Stakes. Then, if you really want to take chances, you could do a trifecta box with three horses. If you win a trifecta, it will most likely be hundreds of dollars. In that case, I would go with California Chrome, Commanding Curve, and Tonalist. In reality, though, you'll probably be lucky just to win enough money for a nice hamburger!

Norovirus: Think Restaurants, Not Cruise Ships, CDC Says - NBC News.com
Norovirus: Think Restaurants, Not Cruise Ships, CDC Says - NBC News.com
Here is a very important article about the norovirus and how it is transmitted. Restaurants got the most blame for the gastrointestinal sickness that norovirus causes. If you end up vomiting several hours after you have eaten at a particular restaurant, the chances are high that norovirus is causing it. Most people will probably ride out the problem or go to a walk-in clinic where they will be given medicine, but the true diagnosis may never be known since the clinics are limited on how much testing they can do. Certainly, if you get a food-borne illness, one step you should take is to avoid that particular restaurant in the future.

Make 40% A Year With Math And Without Shorting - Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bull 3x Shares ETF (NYSEARCA:TMF) | Seeking Alpha
Make 40% A Year With Math And Without Shorting - Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bull 3x Shares ETF (NYSEARCA:TMF) | Seeking Alpha
Harry Long has written a very good article about how you can make 40% each year with a portfolio of just two stocks, VIX (inverse volatility) and TMF (leveraged long treasury bond). One comment was that the four years involved in the study was a period of shrinking volatility. However, I believe Harry's 40/60 VIX/TMF plan will work under the current market conditions. XIV will continue to go up because volatility will continue to stay low. TMF will continue to rise because a lot of people still fear the stock market, and they will be investing in treasury bonds.

As I occasionally do, I will talk about topics other than the stock market. Vinegar is reportedly a great antibacterial agent. I have used drops of white vinegar in my ears for infections, and it worked. Nevertheless, I still don't know how I can easily consume it in the same way that I take daily vitamins. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. I am always looking for ways to improve the quality and length of my life.

Here is a great article about how electric power consumption can show the true state of our economy. It turns out that global warming is a factor, but individuals and companies are still using less power. People who are unemployed or short on money will not be using a lot of power. Graphs were presented to show how power consumption might be forecasting another recession. Electric power is yet another indicator for helping us to determine the stock market's direction before we lose a lot of money.

Controversial post: This chart says the economy is broken | The Crux
This is an excellent article discussing the money supply with great charts and definitions. Another point is that major retailers are closing down stores. Think about the news concerning J.C. Penney and Sears. These are anchor stores in our malls. There is not a whole lot of buying and selling going on. We are in a deflationary cycle where not much money is changing hands.

MoPay Dividend Dogs: 3 Lists To Buy And Hold In June | Seeking Alpha
MoPay Dividend Dogs: 3 Lists To Buy And Hold In June | Seeking Alpha
Here is an outstanding article on high-yield monthly pay stocks and closed-end funds that trade like stocks. Don't be deceived by the S&P 500 continuing to make new highs because the general stock market gains will get smaller and smaller over the next two years until we have another stock market crash. The super dividend stocks listed in this article should make up a large part of your portfolio.
Some of the closed-end funds pay double-digit returns that are higher than the individual monthly paying stocks, and you have downside protection by the diversity of companies held inside the funds. Two of my favorite funds are MORL which is yielding 18% and CEFL which is paying 16%. I own both of these diversified stocks. The top paying fund on the list was Cornerstone Progressive Return Fund (CFP), and it had a yield of almost 20%. These funds are the way to go, and you make money every month!
