Dow Jones Industrial Average Rallies Today Ahead of FOMC Decision

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is rallying early Wednesday ahead of today's critical announcement by the Federal Reserve on interest rates.

Despite outrage from President Donald Trump, the U.S. central bank is expected to hike interest rates for the fourth time in 2018, raising concerns that the Fed will put a halt on America's economic expansion and rattle investor confidence for the balance of the year.

This Company Proves the "Ten-Bagger Stock" Is No Myth

Back in August 2011, for the very first edition of Private Briefing, I recommended a Belgian biotech firm that I said was "like buying an independent drug development lab" for less than nine bucks a share – $8.60, in fact.

I zeroed in on the company's collaborative partnerships on a whole slew of drug development programs.

Now, I love to see this in a biotech stock, because it means that some of the usual risks of owning a small, clinical-stage company – running out of money, or the risk of one trial failure wiping out the firm – were minimized.

That arrangement was critical in the massive, almost tenfold gains that followed. (And, as you'll see, it's going to be just as important in the bigger gains I see down the road for the folks who bought this company.)

I've recommended these shares for my subscribers more than a dozen times since, each time before a fresh bumper crop of profits. This company has given more than 931% in peak gains for Private Briefing subscribers, and a market-crushing 26% since I first shared it with Money Morning Members in September 2016.
