We’ve got something special lined up for you. Starting tomorrow, you’re going to receive a series of valuable essays from one of the most unique and talented stock analysts I’ve seen in years. His name is Stephen McBride. You may know Stephen’s name already. Stephen is the world’s most popular investing expert on Forbes. Over nine million people read his work there. Major financial organizations pay Stephen fees of $10,000, $15,000, or more—per article—for the exclusive rights to feature his research. You may also know that Stephen is part of RiskHedge. RiskHedge is a disruption research firm. And they’re our corporate affiliate. Which is why Stephen’s agreed to share his best work with Mauldin Economics readers… for free. He’ll be sending it to you in a series of essays: one a day for the next four weekdays. Some background. Stephen is NOT an economist or an academic. He’s a professional analyst and stock picker. His job is simple: to make money for his readers. Over the years, Stephen has developed a unique approach called “disruption investing.” With disruption investing, Stephen hunts for stocks set to change the world. Stocks that make investors wealthy in the process. I’ve followed Stephen for years. He does two things exceedingly well. First, he helps investors avoid embarrassing losses by exposing big, popular stocks that appear safe and attractive—but that are actually dangerous. For months now, Stephen’s been publicly warning that Netflix stock is likely to get cut in half, or worse. At first his prediction attracted a lot of anger and hate mail from Netflix superfans who’d grown emotionally attached to the stock. It has delivered an incredible 56-bagger in the past 10 years, after all. But sure enough, Netflix’s latest earnings release was a disaster. Its stock plunged as much as 20% when it revealed it lost subscribers for the first time in almost 10 years. Stephen’s other unique skill is identifying lesser-known companies that are set to be tomorrow’s big winners. Some examples: The Trade Desk (TTD), the small advertising disruptor that soared 115% after Stephen recommended it. Alteryx (AYX), the data disruptor that handed Stephen’s readers a 98.3% profit in just 19 weeks. And his under-the-radar 5G disruptor pick, Xilinx (XLNX), jumped 30% in less than four months. Now, this may seem a little unusual, but Stephen asked me to pass along the following: Ed—Please warn your readers this series may not be for them. Here’s why… The truth is, all the big scores I’ve made can be traced down to just a handful of specific concepts. These are the concepts I’ll share with your readers. But as simple as those concepts are now, it wasn’t always that way. I invested a ton of hard work, money, and years of my life into acquiring the knowledge I’m going to share. If you’re not willing to take a couple minutes a day to learn these ideas, it’s best to not start down this path. I know your readers are busy, so I’ll keep each daily note brief. They’ll be able to read each one in under 5 minutes. Five minutes is not a lot of time. But you might be surprised at how “average” investors would rather scroll through Facebook than learn something that could strengthen their retirement. I want no part in settling for “average” investing profits. I suspect a lot of your readers are with me on that. Any curious, financially responsible person interested in boosting their family’s financial standing in today’s rapidly changing world will love this series. But if they would rather not participate, they won’t hurt my feelings. Stephen is a little blunt. But I understand his point. Some people view investing research merely as entertainment. Not Stephen, though. Stephen takes his research seriously. So, as he said, if you’re not interested in these ideas, just let us know. You can click here to opt out, and you won’t hear anything else from Stephen McBride. I hope that’s not how it is with you. I’m hoping you’re excited to take part in this unique series. If that’s the case, simply do nothing. Tomorrow you’ll receive an email from Stephen with the following subject line… The single most powerful insight I can give you. That sounds like a tall order. But I’ve been lucky enough to have a sneak peek at the email series, and I don’t think he’s exaggerating. Best Regards, Ed D'Agostino Publisher
PS: As publisher of Mauldin Economics, I receive hundreds of pages of research a week. Stephen McBride’s letter is one that I read every week, without fail. It’s that good. |
