Welcome to the best start in 32 years. In just the first two months of 2019, the S&P 500 is up 11.5%. Heck, we could close the market now and finish the year ahead of the historical average of just under 10% gains. But why would we? There is more to come. Much more. I have two predictions for you. First, I believe the S&P 500 will be up as much as 25% at some point during 2019. I said that before the year began, and I’m sticking with it. Second, marijuana stocks will continue to blow away the market. I was recently asked by CNN to talk about my expectations for the market. I made the same prediction to Richard Quest. He was a little surprised, so we made a friendly wager on whether the market hits a 25% gain.

When a leading marketing publication like Adweek prints a major headline about an up-and-coming trend, we should all take notice. It certainly grabbed my attention when “Any Brand Not Marketing in the Esports World is Already Behind the Curve” hit the internet on Tuesday. An industry valued at $1.5 billion with a global audience of 385 million is tough to miss. Yet most advertisers have been completely ignoring the world of eSports. Big mistake. The backers of the industry include the biggest names in professional sport. And this is just the beginning. The continued growth of eSports will continue, and there will be plenty of catalysts to help propel it to the next level.

Marijuana stocks have been killing it. I’ve recommended multiple cannabis-related stocks in my Investment Opportunities service. Every one of them is up in the first seven weeks of the year with an average gain of 56.5%. It’s all because of the historic boom taking place thanks to the spreading legalization of marijuana… which in turn is creating a historic boom in legal marijuana stocks. Believe it or not, medical marijuana is now legal in 33 of the 50 states – that’s two-thirds of the country. Weed is now the fastest-growing industry in America. And the best news is that we’re still in the early stages of this sweeping trend. It’s not too late to make a lot of money if you’re not already.
