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...

Defense Investors Are About to Get Rich "1981-Style"

The Trump White House is taking a page right out of President Reagan's playbook. When Reagan took office in January 1981, he sought to rebuild a military depleted by years of war and tough congressional budgets.

Trump took office last January after campaigning on a defense buildup from a budget of around $580 billion. He said he wanted to beef up the military after prolonged battles in the Middle East and annual defense budget fights on Capitol Hill that limited weapons spending.

That's why Trump called for a fiscal 2018 defense budget that is 10% larger than the year before, making it the biggest increase since the Reagan years.

Make no mistake, this gives us a "target-rich" opportunity for the new year. After all, Trump wants more airplanes, tanks, and troops, as well as technology for missile defense and a wide range of other platforms. 

And today, I'm going to reveal the defense trends I see for 2018 and show you how to play them with a market-crushing investment...

The Three Best Stocks to Buy Today

I don't usually do this.

Members of my premium services get all my investment picks first.

But given the huge increase in geopolitical crises and their impact on the availability, security, and price of energy…

It's crucial that you know exactly how to make money in today's energy market.

The way to do that is to invest in companies that bridge energy and defense.

So today, I'm releasing the names of the three best investment plays – all from my premium services – that do just that…

And will set you up for huge profits...

Technology

These Two Defense Tech Plays Are Crucial in Our Battle vs. North Korea's Nukes

On Aug. 30, off the coast of Hawaii, sailors aboard the U.S.S. John Paul Jones tracked, intercepted, and shot down a medium-range ballistic missile.

It was a milestone in our nation's defense system.

Doing so put North Korea and Kim Jong Un on notice that we can shoot down their missiles before they reach the U.S. mainland or one of our Asian-Pacific allies.

And it's about time.

North Korea's ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs have developed much, much faster than the Pentagon predicted. And that has created a threat that has jump-started our need for advanced missile defense technologies – and spending on them.

Indeed, missile defense technology is so critical to the United States right now that it was a big driver behind Northrop Grumman's just-announced plan to acquire Orbital ATK Inc. for $9.2 billion.

Orbital specializes in the missile defense technology that we so badly need right now.

And so the deal reaffirms our belief that Northrop is the best of the big defense plays out there. Northrop has soared nearly 46% since our first recommendation in April 2016 – including a 10% gain since the Sept. 17 announcement of the Orbital deal.

Today I want to go in-depth on why that Orbital deal reinforces our "case" for Northrop.

And I want to show you how you can take a ride on all the defense industry M&A deals we'll be seeing over the next few years.

This single investment gained just 1.75% in 2015 – but 19% in 2016.

So far this year, it's up nearly 30%.

Now imagine what it's going to do in the future as the Trump administration bulks up our military spending...

This Small $4.5 Billion Defense Niche Is Set for a 20% Shot in the Arm

We've talked about some truly revolutionary tech developments rocking the entire defense sector right now, like laser weapons, advanced drones, fifth-generation bombers and fighter aircraft, battlefield AI, and global awareness.

It all sounds very sci-fi, but it's happening now (and making us some serious money).

I want to talk about something a little less flashy but perhaps even more important to keeping our armed forces effective when boots are on the ground.

It's not headline-grabbing, and you certainly couldn't call it "state of the art." In fact, at less than $5 billion, it's a relatively small, overlooked niche in one of the world's most lucrative, high-profile sectors.

That's just one of the reasons why I love it right now. The upside is huge, market-crushing, and it's all likely headed to this European company with a U.S. presence...
