The Best Stocks to Buy If Trump Wins Reelection

With the election fast approaching, investors need to be thinking about the best stocks to buy for each outcome.

And while former vice president Joe Biden is leading in the polls, many pundits believe President Trump has a good chance of pulling out another surprise victory as he did in 2016.

So investors need to be ready for a Trump win in November.

We've got a full analysis - and the best stocks to buy if Trump wins...

Election

Here's How to Play the Election, No Matter the Outcome

We've had a pretty good idea for months now of who would be on the Democrats' and Republicans' 2020 presidential election tickets.

And now that the conventions are sewn up – or, in the case of the Republicans, soon will be – we can turn our attention to the "home stretch."

Now, I'm not here because I'm backing a candidate. While I certainly have my opinions, and you have yours, I'm not here to talk politics or handicap the election. That's a job best left to the talking heads – they're welcome to it, I say.

Rather, from where I'm sitting in the markets, the home stretch is the time when the opportunities and pitfalls of either outcome come into focus. That's what I'm excited about.

And yes, while both parties are predicting doom and destruction should the other side win, the truth is there will be plenty – tons – of moneymaking opportunities after the election.

They're going to be different opportunities, and will require different approaches and positioning, but – mark my words – they will be there. That's what I'm breaking down for you here today to make sure you'll be prepared to profit from either scenario… Full Story

This Aerospace Powerhouse Will Double Your Money (and Seriously Upgrade Your Vacations)

Jet travel is as fast as it's ever been, thanks to new materials like carbon fiber, and ultra-efficient turbofan engines, like General Electric's GE9X and Rolls-Royce's Trent XWB.

Still… a trip from my home in California's Bay Area to, say, Sydney is a grueling, boring 15-plus hours. New York to London clocks in at more than seven hours, and the busy New York to Los Angeles route takes nearly five-and-a-half hours.

But what if you could take off from San Francisco and land in Sydney in a little over three hours? Or make the trip from JFK to London Heathrow in 90 minutes? How about a 230-mile hop between Washington, D.C., and New York that takes just four minutes?

Those incredible travel times are very, very possible traveling at Mach 5 – five times the speed of sound, or around 3,836 miles per hour.

It's become what's known as "hypersonic" speed, and before much longer, it's going to make those mighty GE9Xs and Trent XWBs look like steam engines.

The technology to take us hypersonic isn't coming tomorrow, or "just around the corner" – it's here now. Today.

It's not available to commuters or vacationers – yet – but it's the top priority of American, Chinese, and Russian defense firms.

This Money-Doubling Classic Could Lead an Outer Space "Gold Rush"

When Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt blasted off from the surface of the moon on the evening of Dec. 14, 1972, very few people believed it would be NASA's last manned moon mission for 47 years – and counting.

But ever since, the American manned space program has been very much focused on working and exploring in Earth's orbit.

Now, America's human spaceflight plans have been kicked back into high gear.

Later this month, on May 27, American astronauts are slated to launch from American soil aboard an American vehicle for the first time since the Space Shuttle retired back in 2011. In fact, the "Crew Dragon/Falcon 9" mission is a true joint government-commercial venture between Elon Musk's SpaceX and NASA.

And in 2021, Boeing Co. plans a crewed launch of its new CST-100 "Starliner" crew capsule.

One of the chief aims of these projects is a return to the moon.

The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s were capably assisted by American private enterprise, but they were essentially muscle-flexing demonstrations of American missile and materials technology, shot squarely across the Soviet Union's bow.

But these new 21st century missions have a decidedly commercial purpose.

Now, Trump's overwhelming preference for American space dominance is on the record. And so it surprised no one when the president recently signed an executive order to allow the United States to begin mining water and other natural resources… on the moon.

See, far from being dull, empty rocks, the moon and even the asteroid belt are proven to be absolutely packed with extremely valuable natural resources.

There's water, strategic metals, minerals, and even precious metals like gold and platinum – wealth beyond measure – "out there" for the taking.

And now the word is out, and the new, commercial "Space Race" is on. Many companies will play a role, but the one I'm thinking of – one that's already doubled our money – will be a real linchpin in this new era…Full Story

Markets Live Recap: Stocks Begin the Week Strong as Economic Outlook Brightens

Stocks rose 1.6% today as investors felt optimistic about governments around the world reopening their economies amid the coronavirus outbreak.

In addition to some U.S. states, Italy, Germany, and France said they're also looking to ease the quarantine policies that have been in place for the last two months.

If economies can reopen and consumers feel confident, stocks could continue to rally.

But if the COVID-19 curve starts to steepen as a result, that would likely send stocks lower.

And we could break through the recent lows made last month.

Here's what our experts – Chris Johnson, Tom Gentile, D.R. Barton, Jr., and Shah Gilani – think investors should be doing with their portfolios this week.

How to Build a Bulletproof Buy List

This week, over the span of just 24 hours, we saw a market rally of nearly 1,170 points followed by a sharp decline of 900.

The market moved back and forth a total of 3,253 points in just the first three days of the week. Treasury yields sank to record lows as these wild swings continued.

And you better hang on to your hats because this market whipsawing isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Now, if you were following along last week, I told you to make sure you keep those trailing stops nice and tight. I do realize that some of you are all stopped out and wondering, "What's next?"

Or, more specifically, "Is it time to buy?" and "What do I buy?"

While I believe that most stocks are a bit too risky and volatile to buy right now, I am getting my wish list ready. It's growing by the minute.

Make Rock-Solid Profits for the Next Three Years with This Defense Play

Until our current president, we haven't seen anyone in the White House since Ronald Reagan who is such a strong backer of the Pentagon.

President Trump campaigned on rebuilding the military and made it a hallmark of his administration, namely with the defense budget deal.

The net result of the defense budget was a lack of news about the fiscal 2020 Pentagon budget that sailed through the House on a 377-48 vote. You might not have heard about it as Big Media was, of course, all over the impeachment proceedings instead.

This is a $738 billion bill. That's a lot of work for defense contractors, both large and small. And it completely slipped past everyone's radar.

Well, almost every one… You can bet that yours truly was busy searching for defense winners.
