There’s a lot to be thankful for this year! You are at the top of my list. And we can all be thankful that our mega trends have shined. Some people think we’re in a bubble. We’re not. This is a major acceleration! It’s made it possible for America 2.0 upgrades such as: working from home, telemedicine and new energy. As you prepare for 2021, I want to make sure your portfolio is in the best shape to face the market’s up and coming attractions — SpaceX, precision medicine, crypto… This opportunity is once-in-a-lifetime. Watch today to see how you[…]

The chart below looks like some blistering new technology company. It’s blowing the stock market’s performance away like a pile of dry leaves before a leaf blower. So … to whom does this slick ticker belong? Zoom? Tesla? Apple? Nope. It belongs to one of a select group of companies whose products make those technology superstars possible. Without the former, there’d be no electric vehicles, no cell phones and no video calls. You’ve probably heard me say that I prefer the “pick-and-shovel” companies to any one gold miner. Not every gold miner strikes it rich, but every one of them[…]

As we approach the end of 2020, pundits are providing their forecasts for 2021. This annual exercise holds important information for the next year. It’s information no investor can afford to ignore. The secret to investing in 2021 is something investors already know: Adapt to the market in real time rather than trying to impose your wishes on the market action. You already understand that no one knows what will happen over the next 12 or 13 months. Those writing these forecasts must know that. This means their forecasts are either for entertainment purposes or they take themselves too seriously.[…]

All I Want for Christmas… There’s only one thing I want for Christmas this year, Great Ones. Can any of you guess what that is? World peace? 1,000% gains? A vaccine? Market rationality? Tell us! This sounds corny, but I want a Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. I want to bask in the warming glow of the PS5’s glowing warmth while I shoot space aliens on Christmas morning with friends and family … just the way the Almighty intended us to celebrate his birthday. Or something… But I’m not getting one, thanks to reseller groups and their[…]

It’s hard to believe, but the year that has seemed like it would never end is entering its final month. In 2020, the best strategy has been to expect the unexpected. If you would have told me that a snake/bat virus that originated in a Chinese wet market would kill over a million people, ground us in our homes and cripple the global economy — I would have told you that the recreational weed you were smoking probably wasn’t legal yet. And if you’re in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey or South Dakota — states that recently voted to legalize marijuana[…]

In his 2020 prediction article last year, Brian Christopher said this would be a big year for biotech stocks. He explained that many Wall Street firms were piling into the biotech sector, noting they were investing more money in this group of stocks than any other. Brian’s two stock recommendations in that article, United Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: UTHR) and Atara Biotherapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRA), are up 56% and 39%, respectively, since the beginning of the year. However, Brian couldn’t have predicted that COVID-19 would emerge in 2020 and determine biotech’s biggest winners. For example, BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX), which co-developed[…]
