I have recently received a few complaints from readers that I have become boring. I have to confess that they are right.

I am not a person who boredom comes to easily. I’m the guy who climbed the Matterhorn, crossed the Sahara Desert on the back of a camel, and went to surfing school at age 63.

And that’s just what I did last summer!

However, I do admit that I have become boring on the trading front.

If I get a request for one thing more than any other, it is for recommendations of stocks that will rise by at least ten times over the next ten years.

Readers want to know the names of companies that they can just buy and forget about, and then retire rich as Croesus a decade down the road.

What could be more reasonable?

I happen to have sent out quite a few of these recommendations over the years.

Whenever I attend my global strategy luncheons around the world, someone inevitably thanks me for my effort to cajole them into buying Chinese internet giant, Baidu (BIDU) at $12. Nothing seemed more questionable at the time (2008). It hit $260 at the end of 2014.

At my New York luncheon in May, a guest pressed a one ounce American Gold Eagle into my hand and said thanks for Cheniere Energy (LNG). He bought it at $6 and rode it all the way up to $85.

He then doubled his money by jumping into Apple (AAPL) at $56 (on a split-adjusted basis) and rode the express train to $135, again after my pleading.

Then there was the reader who offered me his mega yacht in the Mediterranean for a week for free. He bought the liberal conspiracy of all liberal conspiracies, Tesla (TSLA), at my urging at $16. Elon Musk’s bet on a car of the future hit a high of $290 last year.

It’s not that I have suddenly become averse to dishing out ten-baggers. I have not suddenly grown weary in my old age either, although I confess to finding those erectile dysfunction ads on TV more fascinating by the month.

No, the real problem is that the stock markets are just not offering anything right now. And here is where I give you some great trading tips.
