This "Orphan Drug" Biotech Could Double in Less Than Three Years

The three biggest Big Pharma "blockbuster" medicines of all time target high cholesterol (Lipitor), inflammatory diseases (Humira), and digestive afflictions (Nexium) and have pulled in a combined $350 billion – and counting.

But what about people suffering from rare diseases like cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, and so on?

Here in America, Washington understands the need for these "orphan drugs" targeting rare diseases, which is why the "Orphan Drug Act of 1983" offers a seven-year window of tax reductions and the exclusive right to market a drug for a particular rare disease.

To date, more than 600 orphan drugs have been approved by the FDA.

And the global market for orphan drugs targeting rare diseases is growing at double the rate of the non-orphan market.

But more needs to be done. And that "more" will create a massive investment portal – provided you pick the best-positioned companies.

That's why today, our Michael Robinson going to show you a revved-up leader in the specialty-drugs market whose shares could double in under three years...

Ending Cannabis Prohibition Could Create $130 Billion in Revenue, 1.6 Million Jobs, and Unprecedented Wealth

Nearly a century ago, in 1929, the Great Depression hit the United States – shuttering businesses, devastating families, and changing the U.S. economy forever.

Meanwhile, alcohol prohibition in the United States – which began in 1920 – was in full swing.

And so was the black market it created.

But public opinion about prohibition began to change dramatically during this time.

Folks started to realize that all those tax dollars legal alcohol sales had been bringing in before prohibition were now being lost – an estimated $11 billion that could have flowed into the U.S. economy when it needed it most.

And they also realized that the hundreds of thousands of jobs the legal alcohol industry had previously created could help get people back to work.

Fortunately, the federal government came to its senses, and its repeal of alcohol prohibition in 1933 ended up being a major catalyst for bringing this country out of the Great Depression.

Fast-forward just a bit, and the U.S. beer industry was responsible for creating 2.19 million jobs that paid more than $101 billion in wages and benefits in 2018.

As we speak, the United States is grappling with an eerily similar scenario.

It's a scenario that, as we've seen with the beer industry, could generate billions and put people back to work.

It's also a scenario that will be incredibly lucrative for you… Full Story

Our Shift in Retirement Planning Has Made Us All Dependent on the Stock Market (and What to Do About It)

We're in the middle of the worst global health crisis since 1918. That in turn has precipitated the worst economic crisis in 12 years, though it may very well prove to be worse than the decade-long Great Depression of 1929.

Unemployment is at record highs; Thursday's print of 1.877 million new claims was worse than expected, and would've been unthinkable as recently as Presidents Day.

The world is wracked by the worst geopolitical tension since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and our cities are inflamed by the worst civil unrest since Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated in 1968.

And the markets are within sight of their February highs. The Nasdaq is up almost 8% for the year; the Dow Jones and S&P 500 are off just 8% and 4%, respectively.

And still the Nasdaq is up almost 8% for the year, while the Dow and the S&P 500 are down only about 8% and 4%.

The market is a big, complicated, discounting mechanism. In Business 101, we're taught stock prices reflect future earnings.

But, on balance, companies are not going to make 4% or 8% less than they would during good times. No, the drop in earnings for the second quarter of 2020 is going to be much, much steeper.

But if you listen to the news media, or investment banks' analyst desks, or to government officials, they'll repeat this old story about "future earnings" anyway.

Folks, this is probably the biggest Reality Gap in the country right now. It's the Reality Gap of the decade. And, as always, there are big profits to be had in that gap.

You see, stock markets are no longer about owning a share of a company's future earnings. It's no longer an arena where investors win by making the best long-term predictions, and traders win by predicting what investors will do next.

The truth is that the Big Four – News Media, Madison Ave, Big Government, and the Wall Street Heavyweights – have together turned stock markets into something else altogether.

The Big Four have turned rising markets into a good, much like tap water, public libraries, or electric utilities.

How to Profit from Big-Money Stocks for Pennies on the Dollar

Shelling out money for shares that cost $1,000 apiece can be off-putting, no matter their actual value or how well they perform.

Never mind that "cheap" is often cheap for a good reason; there's an understandable, but mostly incorrect, perception that the lower the share price, the better the bargain.

But it's undeniable: Stocks like Alphabet Inc., Autozone Inc., and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. are all caught up in dynamite trends.

They're far outpacing the market, and there's no reason for them to stop anytime soon.

And yet, plenty of regular investors take a look at the quote and think they'll have to settle for fractional shares, or worse, give the company a miss altogether.

So today, our Chris Johnson is going to share the cure for "Stock Sticker Shock."
