The Next Big Tech Winner is Out There – Here’s How to Find It
Finding the next Amazon (AMZN) is pretty much the dream for any investor who’d like to see massive growth. And that’s exactly what we’ll be aiming for in the new Microcap Millionaire Project I’m kicking off at 7 p.m. ET tomorrow. Many companies have tried to go up against Amazon and failed. Others tried to be the next Netflix (NFLX)… and failed. Remember Ask Jeeves or AltaVista? Well, today there’s only one Google (GOOGL). You get the picture. I still love tech stocks. They are driving a new revolution that is changing our world, and I’m just as excited to recommend them today – well, certain ones – as I would have been 20 or 30 years ago.
One Trillion Reasons to Find the Next Amazon
Amazon (AMZN) had a pretty funny Super Bowl ad last night. It was about what life was like before its Alexa virtual assistant made our lives easier every day. But that was just the icing on top of the cake for this company. Because on Friday, Amazon joined the $1 trillion club! That’s right… in less than 25 years as a publicly traded business, Amazon went from a $400 million company to a $1 trillion company by market cap. I woke up Saturday morning thinking, “Man, it wasn’t too long ago that Amazon was basically hated on Wall Street.” All the cynics would come on TV saying Jeff Bezos didn’t know what he was doing and was spending too much money.
Don’t Let Conventional Wisdom Drag Down Your Portfolio Gains
Anyone who wants to claim that “retail is dead” should take a look inside an Ulta Beauty (ULTA) store. It looks like Disney World for anyone interested in makeup and beauty products. This “makeup superstore” is a key part of any shopping trip for millions of American women. While many brick-and-mortar retailers have struggled since 2009, Ulta is one of the world’s top performing stocks, up 1,370% since the end of 2009. Those are the kind of returns we’re looking for in my new Microcap Millionaire Project – and, back in the day, Ulta was itself a great small-cap play. So it makes a great case study for us now.
Maximize Your Stock Gains With the TAM Effect
In yesterday’s MoneyWire, we talked about how you need to hunt elephants and not mice when picking microcap stocks. Well, there’s a more technical term for that, too. It’s considering the company’s total addressable market, or TAM for short. Simply by doing that, you can find stocks that turn the average investor into a millionaire. The TAM is basically the potential size of a specific sector or trend in dollars. The larger the TAM, the larger a company’s upside potential. For example, a restaurant that offers everything from burgers to pizza to vegetarian food has a much larger TAM than a restaurant that offers only plant-based Ethiopian food.
Microcaps – How to Pick the Winners and Avoid the Losers
Microcap stocks – the small companies just at the beginning of their growth cycle – are where you make the big money. The really big money. Venture capitalists know it. You and I know it. And I’ve made it pretty clear over the last couple of days here in MoneyWire. Now let’s talk about how to pick the right microcap stocks for your portfolio. Start by asking yourself: Am I hunting elephants or mice? That sounds like something out of a children’s book. But what I’m saying is… do you want to invest in a company that’s going after something big, something in the middle, or a little niche? Here’s an example of where you can go wrong if you invest in mice… a tiny niche.
