by

While ongoing trade discussions between the U.S. and China dominate the headlines, the drumbeat of military action has intensified…

This week, the United States sent an aircraft carrier to the Middle East after reports of a planned attack on American forces by a Tehran-backed proxy group in Iran.

On Sunday, the Trump administration issued a surprise order to send the USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber task force in response to "troubling and escalatory indications and warnings."

Once again, military intervention is back in the headlines.

This Content Streamer Could Double Your Stake (Even If It Doesn’t Take Down Netflix)

by

"Netflix killer" is a term we seem to hear every few months.

Every time a new streaming service debuts on an existing or new set-top box, the analysts start talking about the possibility that the upstart could give the king of streaming the ultimate run for its money.

Amazon Prime, Apple TV, CBS All Access – at one time or another, they've all been held up as "the one" to finally dethrone Netflix.

So far, Netflix has subscriber growth issues and rising content costs to worry about, rather than falling to a hungry new content streamer.

But "the one" to knock Netflix down a peg or two may finally be here.

And funnily enough, analysts don't have a clue about this. Maybe they've been burned by their other predictions, but they're not keeping their eye on the ball here.

There's serious cash to be made here, and not just as a long-term investment, either.

See, the "Netflix killer" is reporting earnings TODAY, and the play I'm going to show you could very well double your money by the time Wall Street figures out they blew it...

This week, I'm attending one of the most exclusive hedge fund conferences on the planet: the SALT Conference in Las Vegas.

My mission is to find out where Wall Street's top analysts and fund managers are putting their money to work over the next year.

It's a very luxurious event – five-star accommodations at the Bellagio.

The speaker list includes prominent names like Dr. Nouriel Roubini, Sam Zell, Mark Cuban, Valerie Jarrett, and Brad Katsuyama.

The annual gathering centers on global investments, finance, social impact, and politics.

Topics range from how to extend human life to cybersecurity challenges in the 21st century.

They have an outstanding cocktail reception where the more than 1,700 attendees can talk best investment ideas, raise capital, and pitch fund strategies.

Fortunately for Money Morning readers like yourself, you don't need to pay $8,000 just to walk in the door at SALT...
