How to Know Which Mergers Will Be Winners

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…

This Is the Single Worst Mistake You Can Make in Today's Markets

Many investors are convinced that the bull market is over, and there's nothing worth buying at the moment. Worse, they're selling out and heading for the sidelines using even the slightest market drop as justification for their actions.

I can't think of a worse mistake.

There are all kinds of ways to hedge volatility these days. No investor need fear a bear market – let alone suffer the ravages of getting financially mauled.

You can run flat or down markets to your advantage if you are properly prepared, have the right perspective, and have a firm grasp on the right Total Wealth Tactics.

So far we've talked about specific Total Wealth Tactics like LowBall Orders, which you can use to buy the stock you want at exactly the price you're prepared to pay – ideally at a huge discount. We've also covered Position Sizing as a means of limiting risk before you place a trade, Trailing Stops to protect your capital once you're "in," and Free Trades to help you maximize profits when it's time to sell.

Today, I want to introduce a new wrinkle.

I want to show you how to buy more stock without spending more money...

Two Speculative Scenarios (and Six Investments) for Midterm Elections

Late last month, I wrote to you about the fact that there is no significant statistical relationship between what happens next in the markets and midterm elections.

And what I had to say started a firestorm.

My email exploded, as you might imagine, with the bulk of the commentary centered on the five most dangerous words in the English language – "It'll be different this time."

Probably not.

But, I'm game.

So, let's continue the conversation by playing this through...

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

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...

Washington

Hypersonic Profit Potential in the New $717 Billion Defense Bill

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...

Stocks

"Space Force" Was Inevitable, and This Tiny Aerospace Stock Could Soar on 1,000% Industry Growth

The media may be mocking President Trump's announcement of a new "Space Force," a sixth military branch equal to the Army, Navy, and Air Force, but this is no laughing matter.

This announcement will kick off a moneymaking frenzy for companies operating at the nexus of space and defense.

And one small aerospace stock could soar on a 1,000% spending surge...

China

The U.S.-China Trade Dispute Calmed This Morning, but Uncle Sam Doesn't Want You to Know Why

The U.S.-China trade dispute is "on hold," announced U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin yesterday (May 20).

This morning, markets surged in response to this news – though no one knew exactly why the ongoing tariff war was postponed indefinitely.

But we know what brought about this outcome; in fact, U.S. President Donald Trump practically verified our suspicions earlier today.
