Trump’s treachery (Ad)

A few months ago, I released a list of six companies I believed were going to appreciate under Trump’s second term. And I was right. Since then, this offshore oil company – which is already up 50% from when we first recommended it – has reopened an oil field that is about to start producing 50,000 barrels of oil per day. That’s more than double the amount of oil the company initially predicted it could produce.

This could be the most asymmetric bet in the market today.

The Robotics Revolution has arrived … and one $7 stock could take off as a result. (Ad)

It could very well mark the beginning of a new multitrillion-dollar industrial revolution. Up until now, we've imagined robots doing things like cleaning our homes, serving drinks at restaurants, greeting guests in hotel lobbies, stacking shelves in warehouses, and so on. Very soon, there will be a robot that won't do any of that. However, it's impact on the US economy and society will be FAR greater than anything we ever imagined.
