Keep Doubling the Market's Returns with This Tech Stock

by

I don't know about you, but I would love to own a piece of the Fast & Furious movie franchise.

I recently saw a preview for the ninth installment set to debut in the spring of 2020. I'm a big fan of the action-adventure genre in general, and this series of movies in particular.

It features a group of misfits who transform from street racing hot rods to become an international espionage team.

Don't scoff, there's big money here. To date, the nine movies have brought in more than $5 billion.

Here's the thing. Something similar is happening in the high-margin software sector.

Technically speaking, it's a field known as "DevOps." The term refers to the $50 billion up for grabs by helping companies make a transition from legacy systems to cutting-edge digital tech.

Today, I'm going to show you what I call 'Software's Fast & Furious.' And I'll reveal a company that will more than double the market's return for years to come…

How We're Crushing the Market So Far This Year

by

These days just about every sane American is in love with Wall Street.

In fact, I haven't seen the Street get so much positive publicity in many years.

And it's easy to see why. All three major indexes posted massive gains for the first half of the year, tying decades-old records on the strength of June's rally.

Consider that the S&P 500 had its best June since 1955 as the Dow logged its best performance since 1938. The tech-centric Nasdaq had its best June since 2000.

So, you might be tempted to think all you had to do was throw a dart at the stock tables to find a winner.

Truth be told, you can do far better – if you have a savvy tech expert carefully hand selecting stocks for you.

Just ask the readers of my Nova-X Report. They had four stocks that gained 100% each through the end of June.

Today, I'm going to show you how we did it, and how you can get in on the sizzling action here…

The Four Key Areas Propelling This Defense Stock Higher

by

When we spoke on Dec. 26, I suggested you invest in United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

At the time, I noted the sprawling defense and industrials firm had completed a $23 billion buyout of aerospace supplier Rockwell Collins.

I went on to say that United Technologies provides access to a very lucrative field of investing – corporate spinoffs. This one gives shareholders access to three separate stocks.

But today I'm writing to let you know about another stock that is a worthy investment…

The Play to Make While Congress Scrutinizes Big Tech

by

You'd have never known that I took the whole winter off from trap shooting.

After a five-month break, I came right back and had my best scores ever – 99 out of 100 with 82 straight hits.

This is no mean feat. After all, trap is a shotgun sport where you have to hit a target the size of a compact disc that flies away from you at oblique angles at about 45 miles per hour.

Now then, as good a shot as I am, I know for a fact I can't hit a moving target – or of any kind for that matter – while wearing a blindfold.

And yet… that's pretty much what Congress and the Trump administration are trying to do.

Here's the thing. The president and members of both parties in the House of Representatives want to investigate Big Tech for alleged antitrust problems.

Today, I'm going to show you why this is a terrible idea. And I'll also show you a great tech-related investment that will power right through all these concerns…

A "Hidden" Way into Tech's $126 Billion Worth of Stock Buybacks This Quarter

by

It's time for me to update the mantra I have used here for many years.

No, I haven't backed off my belief that the road to wealth is paved with tech.

Just the opposite in fact. What's really going on these days is that the road to wealth is becoming a super highway.

Let me explain. As I have noted many times in our twice-weekly chats, U.S. tech firms generate enormous amounts of cash.

That's one of the reasons why the top four American tech firms have combined market caps of $3.6 trillion, or roughly the size of Canada and Brazil's economies combined.

Indeed, their profit margins are so huge they simply can't invest it all in the next round of innovation.

And it explains why tech firms are the leaders in one of the market's more important new dynamics – share buybacks.

Don't underestimate the importance of this red-hot new trend. Just in the first quarter, we're talking at least $126 billion of tech share purchases.

Today, I'm going to reveal a great way to play this trend. And it's with an investment that has beaten the broad market by 161%…

The Surprising Way to Play a Historic AI Merger

by

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE: HPE) stunned Wall Street on May 17 with important merger news.

That's when the company announced it was joining forces with another historic computing firm.

See, HPE is a spin-off of the storied Hewlett Packard, one of Silicon Valley's early computing pioneers. It said last Friday it is buying supercomputing legend Cray for about $1.4 billion.

Here's the thing. HPE is making the move because it wants greater access to a lucrative tech platform we've been talking about for some time now – artificial intelligence (AI).

The timing is great. IDC says worldwide spending on AI systems will jump 44% this year to $35.8 billion.

And this ranks as a twofer. Cray remains a supercomputing powerhouse. It has won a string of government contracts over the years, which will give HPE a stable sales base.

Cray just scored a $600 million Department of Energy contract to build what is expected to be the world's fastest supercomputer.

Let's not forget that supercomputers play a critical role in AI, which requires massive processing power.

And today, I'm going to tell you of a hidden way to play this exciting AI merger.

The Cannabis Stock Database You Need Before the Next $3.4 Billion Deal

by

I've been talking about legal cannabis here for years as an unstoppable industry, with my broad investment motto being: when laws pass, stocks soar.

Now it looks like the folks at BofA Securities, a division of Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), are finally catching on, as they've started to cover the industry in depth. Let me be the first to say: Welcome!

It also looks like in their initial coverage, they're predicting that as the U.S. steps closer to federal legalization, we're going to see more Canada-based firms trying to snatch up American ones, while the price is still cheaper than what it would be in a post-federal legalization world.

This Nano-Cap Stock Is Using AI to Disrupt the $2 Billion Gold Mining Sector

by

It was great to hear from my good friend, Frank Holmes, once again.

This time, he had some very exciting news about his involvement in one of the more lucrative fields in high tech today.

But first, you may recall that when we spoke last Dec. 7, I noted that I have followed Frank's career for many years because he ranks as one world's leading experts on anything involving metals and mining.

He serves as the CEO and chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors (Nasdaq:GROW). It's a boutique investment management firm, specializing in actively managed equity and bond strategies.

As impressive as his title is, it only scratches the surface of why I think he is a visionary leader.

Frank also ranks as a leading expert on high tech. And his latest venture combines those two parts of his personality with the promise of huge payouts for investors.

Indeed, Frank has just become the chairman of a fast-moving nano-cap that is using artificial intelligence (AI) to disrupt the centuries-old mining sector.

How to Invest in the $45 Billion Market the Media Isn't Talking About

by

Here at Strategic Tech Investor, we're big fans of what are known as spin-off deals because they unlock a lot of hidden value – and give shrewd investors market-beating gains.

Take Eaton Corp. PLC (NYSE:ETN), which is looking for a way to do all it can to brighten its business – and shareholder returns.

That's why the global leader in power management technologies announced it is spinning off its LED lighting business.

The move is designed to allow Eaton to focus on its core technologies, while the lighting unit can focus more heavily on a market forecast to be worth $45 billion by the end of 2023.

By doing so, Eaton is keeping the bulk of its more than $23 billion in global sales in-house, while shedding an operation that, last year, had sales of more than $1.8 billion.

I believe this is a great move for the company and its investors.

And today, I'm going to reveal a little-known way to play this highly lucrative trend in spin-offs…

This Investor Personality Quiz Will Maximize Your Long-Term Profits

by

When we spoke on New Year's Day, I told you not to worry about a recession this year.

While I stand by my optimistic forecast for tech stocks in 2019, all this talk about the "R" word reminds me that it may be the perfect time for you to take my "investor personality test."

This is a process by which you figure out how you really feel about stocks, the market and the economy.

The bigger idea being that if you really want to be fully prepared for both good and bad times, start by first understanding what makes you tick as an investor.

Because over the long haul, that can save you lots of heartache – and a lot of cold, hard cash….
