The FANGs Are Just One Catalyst in the Next Run-Up

It breaks my heart to see millions of investors fearing the worst when they should be planning for the best.

Case in point: the FANG stocks.

Investors fell all over themselves in a rush to sell last December when the markets plumbed new lows and people thought a repeat of 2008 was in the proverbial cards.

Since then, those same stocks - Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), and Google parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) - have tacked on a jaw-dropping $600 billion in market cap.

Chances are good you're grinning ear to ear if you've been following along with me as directed, because I recommended you do two things: 1) stay in and 2) buy more if you could.

"Buy even a single share" - if that's what it took or that's what you could afford.

That's still true today.

I know the markets seem range-bound at the moment, but my hunch is they won't be for long.

Neither will these stocks - and here's why...

No Investor Can Afford to Miss What's Coming Next

It's no secret I think Facebook stinks, but that's just me. The remaining three are taking market share in every segment they enter. Amazon, in particular, almost completely dominates the cloud services markets. Throw in retail expansion and advertising bucks, and you've got a company that could easily trade at double today's $1,842.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is not technically a FANG stock, but my thinking there is similar.

Team Cook is moving rapidly into medical devices, and that's a narrative the markets now recognize - despite the fact that we were first in the water several years ago. (People thought I was off my rocker for suggesting as much, but like the saying goes, "the best revenge is living well.")

Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), for example, thinks - like I do - that the medical pivot could be three times the market size of Apple's iPhone sales, which means we're talking upwards of around $313 billion by 2027 here, and potentially $400 a share.

Do you really want to miss that? More to the point: CAN you afford to miss that kind of run??!! Most investors can't.

The FANGs are going to play a key role in what's coming next; I'm sure of it. But they won't be alone.

There's China, too...

Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin announced that the United States and China have agreed on a trade deal enforcement mechanism to handle ongoing trade verification and enforcement. That's going to open up more than a trillion dollars of previously restricted trade.

Even Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He called the structure "productive," which is a word full of meaning in both English and Chinese. Contrary to what a lot of people think, this could truly be the deal of a lifetime.

I'm hoping to be in China again soon and will, of course, report on how this is playing out on that side of the Pacific when I get there - perhaps even as early as this fall.

I'm not expecting the Fed to stand in the way of a nickel of profits, by the way: Chairman Powell is making noises that he's prepared to raise rates if merited later this year, but that's all smoke and mirrors. He's learned a powerful lesson over the past few months, and he's doing his best to remain relevant when the world's bond markets have shown the Fed very clearly over the past few months that it's nothing more than a meddling nuisance in the scheme of things.

All told, I can't think of a more important or potentially profitable time to be "in to win" - especially if you've got risk management handled using a combination of "Total Wealth Tactics" we talk about frequently in my free Total Wealth service, like Profit Targets, Trailing Stops, and Position Sizing.

We Don't Live in a Two-Dimensional World... It's Time You Stop Trading on a Two-Dimensional Scale

This stunning NASA-based technology can let you capture repeated windfalls from the same stock... automatically.

We're talking six-figure windfalls of $190,380... $242,174... $282,965... even $405,511 this year.

With the push of a button, it can turn a two-dimensional stock chart into 3D... and transform a cycle of volatility into a straight upward line.

You have to see this to believe it...
