Double Your Money with This Big Data Play on Real Estate

by

If you think the tech economy is slowing down, try to rent a home or apartment in San Francisco.

According to a new report from the real estate experts at Nested, the city now has the highest rents around. Not just in the United States – but in the entire world.

It's no doubt largely due to the fact that the tech boom in SF and Silicon Valley is running at full speed, leaving the city with a vacancy rate below 3%.

Nested based its results not on average rents but on the price people pay per square foot. In San Francisco, renters pay $4.75, the highest among more than 100 cities around the world the agency studied.

While San Francisco lies in the epicenter of the tech sector, it's not the only city with soaring rents.

Not surprisingly, Wall Street is getting in on the act. The number of financier-owned rental properties in the United States jumped 60% last year.

You can get in on this act, too.

You see, Wall Street needs data – a lot of data – to help them make their real estate investing decisions.

They're paying top dollar for that data – and most of them are buying it from the tech company I want to tell you about today.

It's already doubled once for my longtime readers.

And it's poised to double again - fast - if you make your move now...

Not Even This One-Two Punch Can Knock Out Our Top Military Tech Play

by

I've flown all over the world in all kinds of jetliners, and usually when the plane gets going, I tune out the safety presentation.

Been there, done that.

But on a recent Southwest Airlines flight from Money Map Press headquarters in Baltimore to Oakland International Airport, I listened carefully as the flight attendant described the plane's safety features.

And when I looked around, I noticed a lot more passengers than usual doing the exact same thing.

Just two days before, a woman died on a Dallas-bound Southwest flight after an engine failed and she was nearly sucked out of the cabin.

At a time like this, many investors might shy away from The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA), which made the ill-fated 737 aircraft in question.

But today, I'm going to show you why that would be a big mistake...

Earnings Season Is Here, and There's One Way to Play It

by

It's the start of the earnings season, and we all know how that can go.

Alcoa Corp. (NYSE: AA) kicked off April 18 by crushing expectations, and 80% of the companies in the S&P 500 have topped analysts' estimates – and that's in comparison to the previous historic average of 67% of companies that exceeded conjecture.

But, all beats aside, the S&P 500 has dropped 1.3% since earnings reporting started.

And Alcoa, which popped more than 5% and made a new all-time high at $62.35 after it reported, closed Monday, April 30, at $51.20 – down 17.9% a mere seven days after soaring like Icarus.

Overall, the market's performance has been poor, and with the unusual number of companies that beat earnings big-time and have since traded down, it's giving investors a lot to worry about.

It makes one sick of relying on stocks.

Here's why they should be worried, what to watch for, and what to do if it all goes wrong...

Beat These Volatile Markets with This One Move

by

Many investors were glad to close the books on the first quarter. It's easy to see why.

The S&P 500 dropped 1.2% for the period. Not only that, but the markets turned choppy, posing a big challenge for average retail investors.

But if you have a savvy tech investing guide in your corner, you can do better.

Much better.

Wealth creation better.

Consider that members of my Nova-X Report tech investing service absolutely crushed the market in the first quarter – by 270%.

This proves what we say all the time here: The road to wealth is paved by tech.

With that in mind, let's take a look at Nova-X members' four biggest first-quarter winners (remember, this stretch included the market's 10%-plus correction).

Plus, I'll show you what you need to do to start stacking up similar gains of your own...

Forget Trump - This "Value Play" Stock Is a Long-Term Buy

by

We all know what happened in the stock market last week.

And while it seems as though volatility isn't quite over – that's not what I want to talk about today.

Instead, I want to focus on a company that's found itself in a center-stage battle with President Trump himself.

This company is one of the most valued companies in the world when it comes to patents.

It's got royalties coming in from all over the world.

And it's not Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN)...

The First Trillion-Dollar Company Could Be the One Nobody Expects

by

Mention cloud computing and investors typically think about Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., and Alphabet Inc.

Very few think about Microsoft Corp. – but they should.

Redmond-based Microsoft could not only be a $1 trillion company, but it could hit that mark sooner than any of the competitors I've just mentioned and, in the process, win the race to become the world's first trillion-dollar business.

I spoke about this on FOX Business Network on Tuesday with Neil Cavuto, when I made the point that the broader tech-led rollover (which started almost concurrently with my appearance) would treat tech stocks based on personal trust differently than those based on corporate data, security, and operations.

The former – led by Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc., for example – are going to get clobbered, while the broader pullback will give savvy investors in the latter a massive and potentially very profitable opportunity.

I'm not alone in my thinking, either...
