Make This $5 Electric Vehicle Play at Market Open Today

Here’s a big word every profit-minded investor ought to get familiar with: lanthanides. I’m talking about the rare-earth metals – the 17 silvery-white, soft, heavy metals, quite a few of which are increasingly vital to our everyday life, not just here in the United States, but all over the world.

And if you’ve been around the block a few times, you know “increasingly vital” usually adds up to “increasingly expensive.”

Lithium, which isn’t a rare-earth element, is grabbing headlines right now, thanks to the electric vehicle boom, but several rare earths are every bit as critical to electric vehicle manufacturing and, unlike lithium, they’re in very short supply right now. And the need isn’t just for electric vehicles; quite a few rare-earths have strategic, national-defense applications.

And that brings us to the “star” of this week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold. To make sure my readers are in the best possible position, I went out and found what I believe is the best rare-earth stock trading today.

It’s trading for less than $5 right now, so get ready for that ticker and all of this week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold picks…

The electric vehicle segment can be explosively profitable right now, but few investors understand just how explosive that profit potential can be. I know one stock trading for around $2 right now that’s come up more than 1,100% over the past year.

The thing is, this company’s looking to go public in the United States, and I mean, any day now; it could even be as soon as tomorrow. And when that happens, it’s possible its remarkable 10X run could repeat itself over the next year. You’ve got to see the details on this one…

About the Author

Shah Gilani boasts a financial pedigree unlike any other. He ran his first hedge fund in 1982 from his seat on the floor of the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. When options on the Standard & Poor's 100 began trading on March 11, 1983, Shah worked in "the pit" as a market maker.

The work he did laid the foundation for what would later become the VIX - to this day one of the most widely used indicators worldwide. After leaving Chicago to run the futures and options division of the British banking giant Lloyd's TSB, Shah moved up to Roosevelt & Cross Inc., an old-line New York boutique firm. There he originated and ran a packaged fixed-income trading desk, and established that company's "listed" and OTC trading desks.

Shah founded a second hedge fund in 1999, which he ran until 2003.

Shah's vast network of contacts includes the biggest players on Wall Street and in international finance. These contacts give him the real story - when others only get what the investment banks want them to see.

Today, as editor of Hyperdrive Portfolio, Shah presents his legion of subscribers with massive profit opportunities that result from paradigm shifts in the way we work, play, and live.

Shah is a frequent guest on CNBC, Forbes, and MarketWatch, and you can catch him every week on Fox Business's Varney & Co.
