Investors know how powerful trends can be.
They can push entire sectors of the stock market to eye-watering heights.
Look no further than work-from-home stocks this year.
But trends can come and go.
That's why I'm looking at a sector that's downright unstoppable.
It doesn't matter who wins the election or how long the pandemic lasts, this sector is essential.
I'm talking about solar energy, the fastest growing renewable energy source last year according to the Energy Department.
Since 2016 we will have more than doubled the total installed capacity of solar power.

In July 2008, oil hit an all-time high of $147.27.
And since then, it's been in a choppy 12-year downtrend.
Then after hitting an all-time low this past April, it's currently sitting at $42 a barrel.
While you shouldn't completely dump oil stocks, as savvy traders we've found a new way to profit on energy by shifting our thinking…

Lordstown Motors just became one of the best electric vehicle stocks to buy.
And it all has to do with a little thing called a special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC).
Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) have become popular this year.
Otherwise known as "blank check" companies, they are formed solely for the purpose of buying an existing company using funds from an IPO.
Market uncertainty during COVID has resulted in a weak year for IPOs.
So these companies have been seen as a profitable alternative.
Today, we're going to discuss what may or may not be one of the most interesting SPACs to come out of it.

The meeting in Vienna last week among OPEC members and their non-OPEC allies, OPEC plus, was intended to help nations reach an agreement on production cuts to extend past the current end date of April 1.
The concern is the spread of the coronavirus will drive down the price further as global economic demand slows. But Russia was not on board. And the Saudis' response to Russia's stance was to cut its price to Chinese customers, and plan to increase production by as much as 2 million barrels per day. That fallout then led to oil's massive 30% nosedive. And on Monday, oil's decline was literal fuel to the stock market fire, causing it to fall 7.79% in one day. Since Monday's losses, both oil and the stock market have recovered a bit. Oil is sitting at around $33 a barrel and stocks rallied at open.

When he passed away last September at the age of 91, T. Boone Pickens generated dozens of media biographies. Nearly all of them missed a key detail about his last years…
Of course, a billionaire with his reputation as a savvy business leader would no doubt get lots of obituaries written about him. And most focused on his very successful career as an oil and gas baron.
It's easy to see why. After all, in 2007 alone, he is reported to have earned more than $2.7 billion from his two energy-investing funds.
So, it may sound surprising for me to suggest that those obituaries were inaccurate…
Here's the thing – at least two years before his death, Pickens went through a sea change and closed his energy funds. He became a massive backer of solar technology.
Now, I spoke to you recently about all the opportunity that I'm seeing heading our way, thanks to the solar revolution. No doubt, a smart businessman like T. Boone Pickens also realized the sheer scope of this technological transformation. It all comes down to basic science.
Boone (as he was known) saw what many people are beginning to see: Renewables are the next generation in energy production.
His move into solar is a major signal of the profit potential we can unlock from this sector.
This same sentiment has reached another key audience – one that will supercharge solar's growth.
You see, deep in the heart of American coal country, experts are putting their faith in sunlight… Full Story

I work with some of the most exciting small tech companies on the planet. And as many of you know, I've made it my business to be involved with the most cutting-edge high-tech advancements of our time.
That's why I can confidently tell you that nothing compares to the size and scope of the solar revolution – or the speed at which it's coming to us. In fact, it's going to be one of the biggest technological transformations of our lifetime.
It all comes down to basic science.
Every five days, the sun provides the Earth with as much energy as all the proven supplies of oil, coal, and natural gas on the entire planet.
And we are now riding a tremendous wave of advancements and new technology that could soon render these traditional means of generating electricity obsolete.
What's more, these revolutionary advances also provide savvy investors with a rare opportunity.
To put it bluntly, recent solar innovations promise to be every bit as monumental as when the world progressed from the horse and buggy to the automobile…
According to Bloomberg, the oncoming solar revolution will be worth $2.2 trillion in the years ahead. But it won't stop there.
This will be a multi-decade trend, creating incredible long- and short-term opportunities for those wanting to build life-changing wealth.
This is your chance to jump on board with the four companies that'll make the global shift possible in the first place…

Since the great financial crisis in 2008, investors have had a hard time finding investments that throw off income.
The benchmark Treasury 10-year note offers a stingy 1.81%. Forget about keeping you cash in the bank – that's even worse.
That has investors turning to high-yield dividend stocks to make up for their lost income.
But not all dividend stocks are created equally.
That's why we'll also you one of the best dividend stocks on the market right now.

The perfect stock is a combination of safety and growth. The MLP we're about to show you today is the perfect example of both.
Safety can be found with a dividend that will be likely paid no matter what the overall market is doing. We also want growth in terms of earnings acceleration that will be used to support and even increase the dividend.
It's a pretty simple formula. But where do we find stocks like that?
The answer is master limited partnerships (MLPs).
