DAILY UPDATE
April 20, 2020
Dear Valued Reader,

Normally April 20 would be a day of wild marijuana teasers, but this year we're all understandably focused on other things... so we turn to Doc Gumshoe for his latest thoughts on some of the COVID-19 clinical trials... as well as updates on heartburn medicines, Parkinson's Disease, and more... just click below for Michael's latest...

If inflation is a quiet thief, then deflation is an armed burglar. You wouldn't invite either into your home, yet chances are that one of the two is stealing your money right now.

Here's the good news: You can protect yourself, but only if you know which villain to prepare for.

And, while the usual suspects failed to anticipate the major component of deflation, EWI president Robert Prechter set the stage early for its arrival in his 2002 book Conquer the Crash (Third Edition: 2014). There in Chapter 9 Bob outlined the following preconditions for deflation that, when read in the context of today's financial crisis, are nothing short of impeccable:

"When social mood trend changes from optimism to pessimism, creditors, debtors, producers, and consumers change their primary orientation from expansion to conservatism. As creditors become more conservative, they slow their lending. When debtors become more conservative, they borrow less or not at all. As consumers become more conservative, they save more and spend less.... The next chapters present a discussion that will allow you to understand today's money and credit situation and why deflation is due."
Read that chapter, When Does Deflation Occur?, along with Chapter 11, What Makes Deflation Likely Today?, from Prechter's Conquer the Crash in this free resource.

It was a busy week in the world of newsletter teasers, from TaaS to "coronavirus winners" and crisis-proof "super stocks" ... so what might have failed to catch your attenion in our daily missives?  

We started out with a smorgasbord of Motley Fool "secret" picks, from a few "cloud disruptors" to a "recent IPO" rule breaker... if you missed that one, it's still waiting right here for you.

From there it was on to Stansberry's "Super Stocks" that they hint at as being "inflation-proof, bear market-proof, crisis-proof and government-proof" -- that's a mouthful, but what's the stock they tease?  Thinkolator results here.

Then it was a missive from the Oxford Club folks that caught my eye, Alexander Green was teasing the "three biggest winners of the coronavirus recovery", all related to healthcare -- so what are they? Click here for my thoughts.

On Thursday, it was Whitney Tilson teasing us with "TaaS" -- apparently it's coming faster than we think, and the savings will be so huge that adoption will be accelerated, spurring demand for a few winning companies -- Thinkolator answers are here.

This week I also updated our coverage of an ad that a lot of you are asking about-- Dr. Stephen Leeb has been pitching this "5G Flaw Exposed" winner, a company that can generate billions of dollars in royalties, for a while now... the ad is still old, but our coverage is now updated here.

And for the Irregulars among you, here's part of your Quick Take from last week's Friday File:

Not sure how to squeeze all this into a “quick take” this time, but I take a long look at Fairfax Financial after its massive crash, and also dig into the New Pacific Metals silver mining story that I get asked about regularly. Those are the long screeds for the week, but I also do my regular big picture brain dump for you, and update my thoughts on a few companies that are generating news with preannouncements as earnings season gets going or have other news worth sharing, including Amazon (AMZN), Teladoc (TDOC), Roku (ROKU), Shopify (SHOP) and a few others.  Full details if you click below...
