As hopes for a new stimulus deal reignite on Capitol Hill, I'm seeing a prime trading opportunity in a sector where a large number of Americans will be spending their checks...
It seems the coming uptick in consumerism will be largely found in "big ticket" purchases like, say, a gently used car.

This is the kind of opportunity my colleague Tom Gentile says he's seeing right now...
The word is, Tom has unearthed a rare market anomaly that you could use to double your money over and over again on some of the biggest blue chips around...
We're talking stocks like Tesla, Alibaba, and Microsoft - all without paying through the nose on "marked up" shares.
Tom's already been delivering trade recommendations at a 100% win rate, and he's so confident he can keep it up, he's putting $3.5 million on the line...
