Three "COVID-Killer" Technologies - and Three Ways Investors Can Ride Along for Profit
The coronavirus pandemic is absolutely one of the biggest crises – and greatest tragedies – of this generation.
But trouble also spurs action – so that new ways of thinking tackle new threats like COVID-19.
And more than any other, one word characterizes these new ideas.
I'm talking about "innovation."
Now, I don't think there's any doubt among scientists, doctors, and drug executives that COVID-19 has created a huge paradigm shift.
The pandemic is prompting company executives, researchers, government officials, and medical scientists to seek new ways to do things – as well as the technologies that can fuel those new approaches.
The bottom line: All these folks are looking to use existing technologies to tamp down on the coronavirus pandemic.
And once they've succeeded – as they will – these new ways of doing things will mostly be here to stay.
That means the technologies that made this all possible will be major beneficiaries going forward.
Three areas of technology stand to be the biggest winners of all.
Today, I'm going to show you those three winners. All told, the three segments I want to walk you through today are on their way to being worth more than $70 billion on a global basis.
And I'm also going to detail three investments that will allow you to ride these new tech waves – and profit – in an equally meaningful way.
So let's get started… Full Story

Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida have announced that they are loosening quarantine restrictions; at least 13 more states have announced plans or "roadmaps" to do more or less the same thing.
There's an urgent desire to get "back to normal" as quickly as possible because the social and economic devastation – record unemployment, more than 55,300 deaths, massive lockdowns, shrinking GDP, and of course the virus itself – of the coronavirus pandemic has been so profound.
And this has all happened in a little more than a month. People are understandably anxious to put all this behind them, myself very much included.
But the stakes of "normalcy" are higher than we're being told. The successful reemergence of people into the world will require far more than just repeated reminders to wash your hands and not touch your face.
Social distancing and limited interaction can slow the spread; there's mounting evidence in the United States and other countries that we've done precisely that. But it's far from clear how much those actions could really prevent widespread illness as lockdowns ease and stay-at-home orders are lifted.
Because it's very likely that we won't be truly "safe" until a proven treatment and effective vaccine are available.
The more we learn about this virus, the more we're aware of why its ongoing impact, and the "right" way to reopen the economy, remain so uncertain.
