This Aerospace Firm's Profits Are Poised to Soar as It Explores Mars

by Leave a Comment

When we spoke on Nov. 29, I suggested you invest in Boeing as a play on the boom in Asian air travel.

Ordinarily, I would not come right back so quickly and tell you to take a look at another aerospace stock. But that's exactly what I'm doing today.

And for a very good reason. See, just last week, NASA made another historic landing on the surface of Mars.

After a journey that took seven months and covered 301 million miles, the NASA InSight lander touched down and got right to work by beaming down a picture of the red planet.

That photograph is only the beginning. The robotic craft will spend the next two years gathering and transmitting important data back to Earth.

Doing so will reap insight about the geography and history of Mars. It will help scientists better understand the planet's long-term climate and why water no longer exists on the surface there.

It's fascinating work. But there's more happening here than simply compiling and analyzing enormous swaths of planetary data. Much more.

That's why today, I want to let you know about the big-cap aerospace leader that played a pivotal role in InSight's successful landing. And why this firm is poised for long-term appreciation…

Why "the Entire World Is Worried" About the U.S. and China

by 2 Comments

The geopolitical situation – particularly between China and the United States – in these past few weeks has caught and held my attention like nothing else.

I'd call it understandable.

I'm currently in Singapore for Asia's annual oil and gas conference, and I'm getting an earful about the politics between my country and theirs.

Of course, the world is aware of the current state of the U.S.-China trade war. With tariffs coming from both ends, neither country is backing down.

I've discussed this in detail in many previous Oil & Energy Investor columns.

But things are getting hotter in this particular geopolitical realm.

Now, while the conference that I'm attending covers three days of intense energy-specific discussions, there are other conferences and summits going on in Asia to discuss other matters of global importance.

In particular, one that was just this past week was the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC.

And boy, did it ruffle some feathers...

As This Arms Race Heats Up, Your Profits Could Too

by Leave a Comment

You may have heard that our trade talks with China are "moving along nicely."

That's a distraction – at best. China is no friend of ours.

It continues to develop deadly new superfast missiles.

These weapons are capable of flying faster than 3,100 mph – more than five times the speed of sound.

With that kind of speed, they could break through any current modern defense.

That makes them a major threat to U.S. security...

Facebook Could Be a Boon for These Cybersecurity Stocks

by 1 Comment

It's been a rough year for Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB).

Trust in the social media giant has plunged in the wake of two major scandals surrounding cybersecurity and sensitive consumer information.

A recent hack exposed data of nearly 30 million people, while the firm faced considerable criticism in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal from the 2016 election.

Since January, Facebook stock has fallen over 18%.

However, it looks like the tech giant is looking to turn over a new leaf.

How to Know Which Mergers Will Be Winners

by 1 Comment

Millions of investors find mergers to be complicated and murky undertakings, best left to Wall Street's "Armani Army."

I look at 'em differently and think you should, too.

That's because mergers are one of the single greatest profit generators out there.

Today, we're going to talk about why and how you could play along for big potential profits…

The 3 Best Defense Stocks to Buy Now as $717 Billion Floods into the Industry

by Leave a Comment

U.S. military spending is on the rise as the Pentagon seeks to address growing threats from China and Russia.

That means big profits for the three best defense stocks to buy now.

While investors could go for big, recognizable defense contractors like Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman, we found three under-the-radar stocks that have something they don't have – Money Morning VQScores in the "buy zone."

You don't see an opportunity this lucrative very often...

Every Dollar You'll Make in the Next 10 Years Is on This List

by Leave a Comment

When I started Total Wealth, I highlighted six "Unstoppable Trends" for you and told you that "every dollar you'll make in the next 10 years in on this list."

Not literally, of course, but figuratively.

The six Unstoppable Trends we follow – Demographics, Scarcity/Allocation, Medicine, Energy, Technology, and War, Terrorism & Ugliness – are all driven by trillions of dollars that will get spent practically no matter what happens in the years ahead.

Lining your money up with 'em is the single easiest and most powerful path to profits.

Trade wars… they become somebody else's concern!

Politics… not your worry!

Market corrections… so what!

I know that's hard to accept and even harder to rationalize, so let me put it this way using an old saying you may be familiar with… "A rising tide raises all boats."

Unstoppable Trends are a lot like the tide. Most investors concentrate on the boats – meaning individual companies – with no awareness of what the tide is doing. So, not surprisingly, they're caught when they go aground or collide with an unseen obstacle just beneath the waves.

But get the tide right before you pick your boat?

Now you're going to have a great (and very profitable) sail.

Take War, Terrorism & Ugliness, for example...

This "Space Force" Company Could Give You 145% Gains

by Leave a Comment

If you've been around as long as I have, then you remember where you were on July 16, 1969.

That's when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.

The effort took seven years from the time President John F. Kennedy first set out the seemingly far-fetched goal.

I'm bringing that up now to note that as we approach the 50th anniversary of that amazing achievement, the United States is about to get involved in another stretch goal involving the heavens.

Just days ago, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence laid out plans for a U.S. Space Force that would be up and running by 2020.

"Space Force all the way!" U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted in support of the ambitious goal for what would be a sixth branch of the Pentagon.

This is a good move.

In fact, I've been advocating for this very approach for more than 30 years.

As has my father – who literally wrote the book on this topic.

In today's briefing, I'll tell you about all that.

Plus, I've found a market-crushing small-cap aerospace leader poised to profit handsomely from Trump's military buildup in outer space…

It's been absolutely crushing the market over the past few weeks.

But its biggest moves are still ahead...

Hypersonic Profit Potential in the New $717 Billion Defense Bill

by Leave a Comment

Ever wish making money took… less money?

Wish granted.

President Trump just "greenlighted" the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act and a top-line military budget of $717 billion… $616.9 for the Pentagon's base budget, $69.0 billion for overseas contingency operations funding, and a $21.9 billion for nuclear weapons.

That's the single largest investment in our military that I can recall. Not surprisingly, it's also a massive investment opportunity that ties in neatly with one of the single most powerful Unstoppable Trends of our time: War, Terrorism and Ugliness.

We've talked about this extensively over the years, but this is so important that it merits repeating…

… Lining up your money with defense spending will be one of the single most profitable moves you can make in your investing lifetime.

… What's more, doing so plays a huge part in the difference between an investment account that makes money like crazy, and one that falls flat. Or, even worse, one that goes negative.

Case in point, defense-related companies I've recommended like Harris Corp. or Raytheon Co. have led readers in our paid sister services to remarkable profits of 100.81% and 205.19%, respectively… and counting!

The logic is very simple and very compelling...
