|  Good morning, The Santa Claus rally is in full swing. The Nasdaq index broke 9,000 for the first time ever. More interestingly, that index is up for the last 11 trading days in a row. What are the odds? It depends on which market theory you use.
If you use the "Random Walk" theory, each day is a coin flip between a gain and a loss. The odds of flipping heads 11 times are a mere one half of one percent (0.05%). But markets have a memory, and when things are bullish, heads seem to come up often. When bearish, tails seem to come up often. That said, it's the longest streak of up days in a row since July 2009, so expect one or two off days in the coming week to break it… even with a longer-term bull market in place.

|
|
While there are plenty of business models out there for how to operate a company, a great one for shareholders is in the royalty space.
Simply put, a royalty company owns a patent or provides capital to another company. When that other company makes a product, a tiny amount of sales go to the royalty company.

Imagine a stock that pays you 100% income on your money every year... and continues to do so for the rest of your life.
$1,000 in savings would pay you $1,000. $10,000 would pay you an extra $10,000. $100,000 would pay you $100,000. And again, that's every year.
We never thought an investment like that would be possible... Until we saw this.
