Startup Investing is not what it used to be.
But this is great news if you want to be a startup investor in 2020.
It means you can now become a member of the startup investor community more easily than ever.
We'll show you how in just a moment.
First, take note of what's changed...

The COVID-19 lockdown took 31% off the S&P 500 by March 23.
The market has since been recovering quickly, but much is still uncertain about the future.
Many think there could still be a second wave of the virus in the fall, and possibly stricter lockdowns.
But not all stocks tanked when the broader market did.
In fact, one of our best penny stocks to buy only lost 8% when the market bottomed, and it's rocketed 34% year to date.

Technology is a special case in the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the markets tanked more than 30%, some tech stocks blew up.
Some of these are still the best tech stocks for June 2020.
We'll go over those today.
Stocks suffered their biggest pull back in three months as another 1.5 million Americans filed for unemployment and coronavirus cases spiked in states that reopened parts of their economies.
Traders quickly moved to sell their positions as the Dow dropped 6.9% on the trading session.
Investors bid the S&P 500 45% higher from its March lows on hopes of a fast recovery.
But a new spike in cases is certainly going to take a toll on a number of businesses.
Retail and airlines were two of the hardest hit industries on the day.
Here's what our experts – Chris Johnson and Shah Gilani – think is going to happen tomorrow and how investors should be positioning themselves before the weekend.
Stocks had their best day since April as investors were optimistic that an effective coronavirus vaccine could soon be on the horizon.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also made some long-term bullish predictions for the U.S. economy, saying the Fed will print as much money as it needs in attempts to solve any short-term problems.
The Dow closed up, 3.8%. The S&P 500 gained 3.1%. And the Nasdaq was up 2.4%.
The coronavirus has created an economic crisis around the world, and no one is exactly sure how deep it will cut or how long it will last.
But it's changed the world in a way that's creating new opportunities for investors.
We're calling these winners of the post-COVID-19 world "virus stocks," and we've got three of them for you today.
Virtually everyone has heard of Zoom Video Communications Inc. – the came-out-of-nowhere winner of the coronavirus pandemic.
With its work-from-anywhere software, Zoom has changed the way we look at our jobs.
And that promises to change the American workplace and the U.S. economy moving forward.
Well, there's also another innovator out there – a tech firm that promises to have a bigger-and-longer-lasting impact on a different sector – the $1.7 trillion U.S. healthcare market.
This company – which I'm referring to as the "Zoom of Healthcare" – could be one of the biggest winners of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the history of the stock market, there has never been a better time to trade an earnings season than right now… and I have the tools to do it successfully.
It's a volume-tracking tool that can help you make back three months' worth of cash – in two weeks…
You see, the market is still facing incredible amounts of volatility. While some of the "too big to fail" companies like Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and JC Penney are in jeopardy of closing doors and shutting off their lights for good, other companies are elbowing their way to the forefront.
For example, online medical care provider Teladoc Health and teleconferencing provider Zoom Video are a couple of the companies that are blowing second-quarter earnings reports out of the water.
In fact, the online work communications site Slack Technologies reported that the company was up 49% from the year prior.
In addition, online retailers like Amazon and Walmart are experiencing record sales and have hit all-time highs over the past few weeks. AMZN just reported that it is up 26% from the year prior on Q1 earnings.
The bottom line is that stocks are moving big time… and that means you can profit.
Once the true impact of the coronavirus on companies is revealed, big volume moves are sure to ensue – which means that a large number of stocks get bought or sold at once, creating high-probability, short-term opportunities to profit.
And now is the time to take advantage.
Now, I'm not talking about buying and holding stocks. Nor am I talking about shorting them.
I'm talking about trading options… Full Story

The assumption that the economy will spring back to life in the next few months is gaining traction on Wall Street.
Despite an endless cycle of bad news – record 14% unemployment, coronavirus cases growing by 4% a day, and a vaccine seemingly out of reach – the Nasdaq index is back into positive territory on the year.
This is wishful thinking.
The economic effect of the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdowns, lockdowns, and social distancing practices is unprecedented.
It will change our society and economy permanently.
Just like the Great Depression and the Great Recession, the effects of the "Great Isolation" will linger with us for decades.
But some companies will actually benefit from the changes...
Most investors cringe when they hear the term "technical analysis."
And I get that: With a "short list" of about 75 terms, the technical-analysis realm can be a complicated one.
But it doesn't have to be.
I've been doing this for a long, long time.
So I can tell you that the real short list can be whittled down to just one single indicator.
That's right – just one.
And once you've fully grasped this one technical indicator, you can make the leap from "investing" to "trading" – where the biggest profits are attainable.
Today, I'm going to introduce you to technical trading. I'm going to tell you all about the only technical indicator you need to understand.
And I'll finish by setting you up for your first technical-analysis-driven trade… Full Story
