Growth vs. income - it's a catch 22 as old as the stock market itself. Investors have to decide if they want steady returns or a chance at bigger - albeit more speculative - profit potential.
Well, with my latest Fast Profits stock to trade, you don't have to choose...
Today I've got my eye on a tech stock that's serving everyone's needs. It's first and foremost an information systems manager that's cornered the market on several "problem areas" during the pandemic.
It also has a successful collection of storage facilities, giving it (and its investors) access to the red-hot real estate market.
With a hand in two of the hottest trends on the market right now and a killer earnings announcement on the books last month, this stock is about to make a short- to mid-term run-up worthy of any trader's attention.
But that's not all this stock's bringing to the table - it also offers a promising 5.8% dividend that has grown every year for the last 10 years...
Today I've put together a trade to play these shares for a mouthwatering payday. Just check out the video below to see what you need to do...
Two Earnings Season Plays You Can't Afford to Miss

Second, among Shah Gilani's top picks to skyrocket after announcing earnings, one work-from-home stock could have its biggest win yet.
It's already beat expectations four quarters in a row, and he's expecting its next announcement TOMORROW, May 27 to bring its fifth victory - with a massive windfall on its heels...
Click here to make sure you get the details - and Shah's full plan to profit.
