Top 5 Casino Stocks To Own Right Now

Legend has it that Canada Bill Jones was the greatest card sharp ever to work the Wild West casinos.

He could beat any man at any game. And while he was generous to those in need, he was ruthless when it came to making money from “suckers” at the poker table.

“It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money,” Jones was reported to have said…

The statement is particularly timely today. Because the majority of Wall Street is in the exact same business — the business of fleecing suckers and keeping their money.

It's a timeless concept. Even the book of Proverbs states that “A fool and his money are soon parted.”

So what's the message for us as investors?

Don't be a sucker! (or to use the King James Version, “don't be a fool!”)

Today, I want to take a quick look at the market from a card sharp's perspective. If you see what's happening from a professional investor's perspective, I think you'll see this turbulent environment a little differently.
