This Stock Could Double by the End of the COVID-19 Pandemic

by

In China, Spain, Italy, and across the world, we've seen how quickly and easily medical systems can be swamped by big surges in novel coronavirus cases.

In most places here in the United States, healthcare systems have borne up pretty well, though at times, they've been under punishing pressure.

Officials have had to scramble to keep up with demand for care. Among other things, we've seen hotels in New York City pressed into service as hospitals and dormitories for healthcare providers. In Baltimore, the downtown convention center has become a hospital and testing center. In Bayou Segnette State Park, south of New Orleans, even recreational cabins were used as makeshift isolation wards.

That's just some of the improvisation that's had to take place across virtually the entire country.

Technological and medial improvisation has been a recurring theme in some of our talks about the national COVID-19 response.

So today, I want to tell you about a company working to ease the need for such drastic measures. It's not working on a breakthrough vaccine or therapy, or on a lifesaving machine – though its work, in my view, is every bit as important to the fight.

Rather, this company is working on a more, shall we say, basic, foundational approach. And it has a "secret weapon" that can not only help us beat the disease, but has applications and growth potential far beyond healthcare.

Here's Why Palantir Stock Is a Buy After the IPO

by

Palantir (NYSE: PLTR) stock is expected to hit the market this week.

Analysts are predicting a $22 billion valuation.

The company has decided to go with a direct listing to avoid much of the prolonged scrutiny that comes with a regular IPO.

This raises questions for many investors.

But this is also one of the most exciting IPOs of the year for good reason.

Today, we're going to talk about whether Palantir stock is a buy or not.

Dow Jones Today Could Rebound After a Four-Week Losing Streak

by

The Dow Jones today could bounce back after a four-day losing streak as Congress works toward another stimulus bill.

The S&P 500 is coming off its fourth consecutive losing week, with the latter off as much as 10% in September.

The Nasdaq has shed as much as 14% since the first of the month, which shares of Apple Inc.

(NASDAQ: AAPL) nearly falling into bear territory.

Investors are hoping that the worst is over.

But it's important to note that the S&P 500 is still stuck in a negative momentum trend.

You Could Double Your Money (at Least) 10 Times Between Now and Just After the Election

by

As we've talked about before, the stock market can act as sort of a crystal ball for an impending U.S. presidential election.

I've done it, lots of independent analysts have done it, and you can see for yourself, too; we look at the three months leading up to an election to try and see if the incumbent resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW will stay put, or be sent packing.

This analysis has shown that the S&P 500 can correctly answer that question 86.4% of the time – not bad.

Of course, these days, the markets are obviously undergoing a correction of some kind.

After a dynamite August, the big indexes – the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and the Dow – are down 10.7%, 9%, and 7.7% respectively, from their Sept. 2 intraday highs.

Normally, that might get an incumbent president in the mood to look for movers.

But this bearish trend isn't necessarily decisive because, if we know anything to be true, this is a year and an election unlike any other.

So the S&P 500's uncanny predictive powers might be a little weaker this year. I think, regardless of who the frontrunner or ultimate winner is, it's likely we'll see more downside between now and then.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who trades (and if you never have, you can certainly start now). That's because, for us, extraordinary times mean extraordinary profit potential.

Why This "Sea Change" in Cannabis Is Rewarding Investors with a Huge Wealth Opportunity

by

I'm in a jam of my own making.

Cold water sprints past just below my knees in a stream coursing by within a solid 1-wood of my front porch. I struggle to keep my water-logged Converse sneakers firmly planted on the slick river rocks underfoot.

Meanwhile, a rat's nest of fishing line rests in my hand.

I'm in this pickle because of a clumsy attempt at keeping my fly out of a limb flush with Autumn leaves reaching over the stream's edge. I panicked and jerked my backcast. Now this jumbled ball of frustration stands between me and another afternoon fishing that ends in a "shutout."

There's an easy solution – an easy "out," of course.

I can just cut the line.

But I don't.

Having arrived in this exact same position a thousand times before has taught me that patience and a couple of well-placed tugs will untangle this unruly mess.

Instead, I hold the hopelessly tangled bundle in my hand and start gently teasing at the knotted mess.

The knots in my leader yield, and I get back to letting the fish outsmart me.

Patience has its own rewards. And sometimes it even pays.

The years have taught me that, whether through pastimes or my 26-plus-year-long investing career, patience has its place. Wield it well, and you get rewarded.

But I've also learned the hard way to recognize the point when patience must yield to action. And when that point comes, you either make your move or watch as one of those all-too-rare opportunities blows right past you.

Those of you invested in cannabis over the past year and a half have learned a thing or two about frustration – and about patience. But now that patience is paying off: We're witnessing a real "sea change" in cannabis stocks this year.

And this sea change means one thing – the time for patience has given way to action.

You don't want to miss the huge wealth opportunity that's coming directly our way.

My Favorite Medieval Italian Guy Likes These Stocks Now

by

As I predicted last month, September's been a volatile, "down" month. In fact, the big indexes are on pace to turn in the worst September results since 2011.

But, like always, there are some juicy opportunities in all that volatility. Volatility's always a trader's dream, because a stock's got to move – up or down – for us to make money. The more the price moves, the better.

Right now, I'm going to show you an old – as in, 800 years old – method you can use to spot stocks that are about to move, and how to work out how far they're likely to go.

That's not only a huge factor in spotting stocks you might like to buy and hold at a good price, but it can also help you find when and where to move in your trading…

A Robot Pilot Shot Down an F-16 - and That Makes This Tiny Defense Stock a "Buy"

by

Back on Aug. 20, a U.S. Air Force pilot climbed into an F-16 "simulator" – in essence, a digital copy that does everything a real Lockheed Martin Fighting Falcon can do – and squared off in a "dogfight" against an artificial intelligence robot.

The result: The AI robot shot the human pilot down in flames.

Digitally speaking, of course.

The shoot-down of a human F-16 pilot was part of a multi-day dogfight competition sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In fact, it played out in the grand finale of that DARPA "Air Combat Evolution" (ACE) competition – and meant that an AI "algorithm" was crowned as champ.

A robot is America's Top Gun.

It's a next key step in the "Drones Revolution" I've been chronicling for my Private Briefing subscribers.

And for investors like you, it means a hefty "wealth window" has been pushed wide open.

Ripple & Our Best XRP Price Prediction for 2025

by

The coronavirus pandemic has created a great deal of uncertainty for investors.

Uncertainty has become the new norm as volatility has been a constant in the markets since March.

One of the biggest factors that helped drive volatility down and the markets higher was the interjection of the U.S.

Federal Reserve.

The Fed printed about $5 trillion to bail out distressed companies like the airlines and cruise lines, just to name a few.

The government even handed out free $1,200 stimulus checks to much of the population to combat the tens of millions of job losses and encourage spending.

After all that money printing, investors are starting to question the soundness of their US dollars.

Supply and demand economics states that the more there is of something combined with the ease and which it can be created, the less that thing is worth.

That's why some cryptocurrencies are so appealing.

They can't be inflated and devalued because their supply is capped at a certain amount.

One of those cryptocurrencies with a limited supply is XRP, created by a company called Ripple.

In this article, we'll give you our best Ripple price predictions for the next 5 years.

We'll also break down advantages and disadvantages Ripple has compared to the US dollar and its other crypto competitors.
