The Best Way to Invest in the Latest Smartphone Craze May Surprise You

They’re back… The circulating rumors. The leaked photos. Entire websites devoted to the newest look, features, and potential bugs. I’m talking about the anticipation and buzz for the next generation of smartphones. As we’ve been talking about here in MoneyWire, these phones will be foldable. The foldable phone frenzy is officially underway in the media, and it’s setting up a huge opportunity for early investors. Today, only about one half of one percent (0.05%) of the world’s population uses foldable phones. But ultimately, 3.2 billion smartphones will be replaced by foldables. I predict the industry will grow 5,500% in a few years to reach $13.8 billion! The buzz surrounding foldable phones reminds me of what new smartphone releases used to be like.

7 Reasons the “Fountain of Youth” is Possible With Modern Medical Science

If there’s one thing all humans want, it’s more time for our families and our passions. We buy millions of health books each year. We spend fortunes on anti-aging products and treatments. And hundreds of years ago, people (supposedly) quested for a “Fountain of Youth.” But it wasn’t until 20 years ago that we had any real idea of how to promote longevity. In the new millennium, there’s been an explosion in knowledge and clinical data, yielding huge advances in stem cell treatments… cell restoration… genetic editing… and so much more. If longevity science can get us even a fraction of the way there, it’s one of your best investment opportunities today. Actually, it could be one of the biggest investment opportunities of the century.

How to Make Big Money By Spotting the Big Money… in “Dark Pools”

About four years ago in Las Vegas, I was doing a live broadcast with Stefanie Kammerman. I had just met Stefanie, and I can clearly remember her telling me live on air to keep an eye on the gold sector of the markets. It was about to go up, she said. Well, I was more than a little skeptical. Gold had been going straight down for several years. And if you know me at all, you know I wasn’t shy about letting Stefanie know. But sure enough, virtually right after our interview, gold took off just like she said it would. A lot of people who follow her work saw the chance for amazing gains as the price of gold soared to a new three-year high. Almost no one else saw this coming. Not too long after that, much the same scenario played out again.

Weekly Upgrades and Downgrades

During these busy times, it pays to stay on top of the latest profit opportunities. And today's blog post should be a great place to start. After taking a close look at the latest data on institutional buying pressure and each company's fundamental health, I decided to revise my Portfolio Grader recommendations for 54 big blue chips. Chances are that you have at least one of these stocks in your portfolio, so you may want to give this list a skim and act accordingly.

I’ve Got the Latest on the Hottest Investments In the Market Right Now

The first full week of the third quarter was fairly quiet after the fireworks that took over the first half of the year. The S&P 500 finished with a small weekly gain as it continues to consolidate. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq hit yet another all-time high today as tech stocks remain strong. In this week’s episode of MoneyLine, I break down the action in the market and, more importantly, look ahead at what to expect over the next few months. First up is the second-quarter earnings season, which gets underway next week. It could be a catalyst for several big moves – in either direction. The rise in COVID-19 cases is worrisome, but I look at herd immunity and have a positive view on the current numbers.

Have You Seen This Big Scandal With the Postal Service?

Last week, I mentioned that one of my hottest recommendations was going after a lucrative contract with the United States Postal Service, which is planning to drop $6.3 billion to modernize its fleet. The stock is Workhorse Group (WKHS), and it rocketed 7X higher on the electric truck craze. My subscribers have locked in average gains of 385% on two-thirds of our initial position – in less than two months! After a huge exposé from Vice, it looks like USPS is now under even MORE pressure to get new electric versions of its trucks on the roads. Tuesday’s Vice article pretty much speaks for itself: Hundreds of the iconic Post Office delivery trucks have caught on fire in recent years, thanks to a 30-year-old fleet and a manufactured budget crisis.

These Four “Picks and Shovels” Plays are the Best Way to Play Foldable Phones’ Potential

Odds are you’re probably reading this on a smartphone. That’s not a surprise. But what might surprise you are the big changes about to come to your phone. Last year, for the first time ever, U.S. adults began spending more time on their mobile devices in an average day than they did watching TV — three hours and 43 minutes on mobile devices versus three hours and 35 minutes watching TV, according to eMarketer. I’m right there with you. Using a smartphone is just more convenient and allows you to toggle between different types of media all in one place.

Did Warren Buffett Contribute to Occidental Pete’s Demise?

Celebrating Where We’ve Come from and Where We’re Headed

Being a Philadelphia kid, I was able to visit the very places where America was born… Like Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. The Pennsylvania State House, where the U.S. Constitution was adopted. The President’s House, where our first two presidents, George Washington and John Adams, both lived. The city is rich with American history and the gritty spirit of innovation and freedom that led to the greatest country in the history of the world. I believe that same spirit exists today, which gives me hope as an American and as an investor… The July 4th holiday is many different things – fireworks, swimming, cookouts, big sales, and more.

Your Stock Questions Answered

Welcome to the three-day weekend! After everything we’ve been through these last few months, I think we all deserve some time to relax. Just a reminder that both the stock market and our InvestorPlace office will be closed tomorrow in observance of the holiday. But that doesn’t mean you can’t spend an hour listening to a special edition of MoneyLine! I decided to something a little different this week. I asked my Twitter followers what stocks they wanted me to comment on, and I was overwhelmed by more than 100 responses within just a few hours. After going through the list, I narrowed it down to 20 that I felt were compelling and popular in the investment world today. They range from a couple small-cap biotechs working on a vaccine for COVID-19 to a few recent IPOs.

Facebook (FB) is facing a 2020 boycott this month that will have companies pulling ads from the social media platform over hate speech.

Foldable Phones Have Stolen the Show

2020 is a year that just doesn’t stop surprising us. Who’d have thought that the hot new smartphones would be foldable? I’m not talking foldable like the old flip phones – with a screen on one side of its hinge and buttons on another. I’m talking about screens that can fold into any size you can imagine! Not to brag, but I pretty much knew they were coming. In my 10 Fearless Predictions for 2020 published last New Year’s Eve, my seventh prediction was that the “next generation of smartphones will be foldable.” Well, they’re here… If you stay on top of the trends, you could say that a lot of this started last summer in Spain. More than 10,000 technology experts and insiders met at an exclusive summit in Barcelona to discuss the new technologies set to reshape our world.

You Asked, and You Got It – The Hottest Biotech IPOs to Watch Out For

After a strong start to the week, stocks sold off into the weekend on fears of new and increased shutdowns due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases. As a result, we should expect more volatility and pullbacks in the market in the weeks and months ahead – but that’s okay. In this week’s episode of MoneyLine, I’ll tell you how we can use that volatility to our advantage. Even with more cases of COVID-19 in select states, others are continuing their reopening plans and more people will slowly start to get back to offices. Still, a lot of people will continue to work remotely, and some permanently. Some companies are already moving to permanent optional telecommuting, including giants like Twitter (TWTR) and Facebook (FB).
