I could tell the television host thought I was crazy. CNN’s Richard Quest was interviewing me about the market, and I made an admittedly bold prediction. He thought I was too bullish. When I released my 2019 predictions last December, I said that the S&P 500 index would be up 25% at some point during the year. I was so sure of it that when I went on CNN on February 6, I reiterated my bullish view. Richard Quest wasn’t buying it. He said he would buy me dinner if I ended up being right. As of today, the S&P is up 25.1% in 2019 – hitting my target. I don’t want a dinner out of it. I simply want investors to make money in one of the best climates I’ve seen in my 20 years in the business.

If you google the latest news headlines for the word “recession,” the results are enough to make you scream. “Goldman Sachs says that every one of its private equity clients is preparing for a recession”… from Business Insider. “Gundlach: A recession will come, so investors should start ‘playing defense right now’”… from Yahoo Finance. And then there’s: “Gazing into the recession crystal ball.” (I need one of those.) That one’s from Reuters UK, and there is certainly a lot of chaos in Europe right now. I’ve recommended some exciting international opportunities to my subscribers, but I agree with my colleague Louis Navellier that the United States is the oasis around the world.

A number of factors are lining up to make 2020 one of the most exciting times I’ve ever seen in the market. It’s going to keep everyone on their toes, that’s for sure. Earlier in the week, we talked about how the U.S.-China trade war could impact stocks. We also discussed what might happen if Elizabeth Warren is elected president. Today, I’d like to turn to the sectors to watch in 2020. Investing in the right sectors is really crucial for your portfolio returns, as I’m sure you’ve found – and the chart I’m about to show you proves that. Take a look below at what happened to energy stocks compared with the S&P 500 since 2015.

Over the past year, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren has feuded with a lot of people. But few of her feuds got as much press as the one she had with Leon Cooperman, chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors. If you’re not familiar with Cooperman, he is one of the most successful money managers in America. His net worth runs into the billions. Cooperman is a staunch advocate for free market capitalism and limited government. As you probably know, Warren is not. Warren’s philosophy leans heavily toward government-sponsored socialism… and her way of thinking has gotten her a lot of support.

Of all the big issues that will influence stock prices in 2020, few are as big as the U.S./China trade war. News of the tit-for-tat skirmish has sent the stock market diving and soaring for more than a year as investors try to figure out the potential impact on the market. But here’s the thing. The trade situation is actually creating the potential for a huge move in the stock market in 2020. As I’ve said all along, there’s just no way President Trump won’t try resolve the issue as best he can before the 2020 election. Before I tell you what I’m seeing for the year ahead, and how to play it to your advantage, I want to give you a brief look at how we got here.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are enjoying your day with loved ones and are able to think about all we have to be thankful for. I’m thankful for the opportunity to work with people like you who want to learn more about investing and better their future. That’s been my passion since I got fed up with the Wall Street game nearly 20 years ago. There’s so much misleading and just plain wrong information out there that can hurt investors. One of my goals is to help you sort through all of the noise, point you to the right information, and let you use it to make money. We do that here in MoneyWire, and I also do it in my weekly MoneyLine podcasts that I started a few months ago.

Have you ever heard the term hypergrowth? If not, it is the type of investing strategy my team and I use when identifying long-term opportunities with massive potential. That’s what I talk about in this week’s MoneyLine podcast. I introduce you to hypergrowth investing, and even more exciting, I delve into six hypergrowth investing themes. You need to know about these themes if you’re looking for life-changing profits.

I couldn’t help myself… so I did it. I haven’t had a driver’s license in 15 years. But in about two years, I’ll make the transition from electric scooter to electric truck. Or, more specifically, Tesla’s new Cybertruck. It was just unveiled last Thursday, and while I didn’t immediately put my order in, the more I looked at it and researched it, the more excited I got. So yours truly will be a proud owner of a Tesla Cybertruck in 2022, and I can’t wait. I better start practicing my driving again! It was quite a week for cars in general, as Ford also introduced an electric version of the iconic American muscle car… the Mustang.

It’s been a very exciting week in the market. We’ve seen big moves in various sectors – and especially in many of the stocks in our portfolios. My focus on investing in the biggest themes out there often results in surges. But the real reward comes over time when the massive 10X, 20X, and even bigger returns come to fruition. Along the way there are plenty of ups and downs. Two major headlines accounted for this week’s big rallies. And I talk about both in detail in today’s MoneyLine podcast. Let me give you a quick overview… The first announcement was a major breakthrough in the biotech industry, specifically gene editing.

We talk a lot here about getting into unstoppable and explosive trends early, while stock prices are still cheap and consumer sentiment is just beginning to stir. This strategy is called “Hypergrowth Investing,” and it’s not something you’re going to see covered by your typical money manager. That’s a shame, because it’s absolutely the best way to turn small amounts of money into life-changing wealth. Hypergrowth investing is how you make five, 10, even 50 times your money on a single stock. Once you study stock market history, you see that those kinds of life-changing returns are actually quite common in businesses and industries that change the way we work and live.
