LitePay Is a Game Changer, and Not Just for Litecoin

by

LitePay is just the sort of thing that could make cryptocurrencies more commonplace.

This new service, expected to go live Feb. 26, will make it possible for people to spend their Litecoin with the equivalent of a pre-paid credit card. And get this – the LitePay card is compatible with the Visa network.

Here's why this is not only huge for Litecoin, but for the entire cryptocurrency sector...

If You Bought into This "Thousand-Dollar Club," Your Net Worth Is Skyrocketing

by

When Amazon crossed the $1,000 mark on May 31, TV host Jim Cramer was quick to throw out what he called a "red flag."

Frankly, I think he was waving a white one…

Here's why I say that. The host of CNBC's "Mad Money" mostly looked at the price of the stock. He said that "psychologically" $1,000 is a lot to pay for a stock he feels is getting ahead of itself.

That brought him around to saying that other big tech leaders are riding a secular trend that could lose steam, hurting investors along the way.

I believe Cramer's analysis is way off the mark for a couple reasons. First, Amazon still has a long runway in both retail and its cloud sales, where it remains the dominant firm.

Second, and more to the point, I actually predicted back on Oct. 30, 2013, that Amazon would hit this milestone. I said it would be among the "next" members of tech's "Thousand-Dollar Club."

So, today I'll show you why my forecast was on the money for all the stocks I put in that group.

And I'll show how you can still profit from them...

And this profit opportunity could net you gains of 22% in the next 12 months...
