These Stocks Made So Much Money!

This will be a short edition of the Rude.

That’s because I want you to watch this critical video on Paradigm Press’ YouTube Channel. I sat with my good friend, tech expert, and retirement savior, Ray Blanco.

Ray’s picks this year have been breathtakingly good. When you measure a stockpicker’s returns, it’s essential to remember two legendary investor takes.

The first take is from George Soros, the greatest trader ever, before he started doing his Ernst Stavros Blofeld impersonation. Soros once said, “It’s not whether you’re right or wrong, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.”

Ray has shot the lights out with his winning picks and the ones that haven’t cost little capital.

The second is Charlie Munger, who once said, “It’s remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us [Warren Buffett and Munger] have gained by consistently avoiding stupidity rather than trying to be overly intelligent.”

You do NOT need to understand the science behind tech and biotech stocks to profit from them. Leave that to Ray. You can see how lost I am in this video when Ray enthusiastically spews his incredible inventory of scientific knowledge. I’ve got no idea what he’s talking about. As the Aussies say, “I’ve got a face like a beaten favorite.” It’s ok. Ray’s got us.

I’ve listed the four stocks below, with their charts, so you can follow along with the video.

VKTX

Ray recommended VKTX when it was trading at around $11. I bought it then and watched it rocket to $99 before falling off the pace. I eventually sold my position at about $78. That’s a seven-bagger, or a 600% return! Ray’s pick changed the landscape of my retirement, and I’ll forever be grateful.

And who knows, this stock may have more to offer in the future. We might just get back in at a later date.

IBRX

ImmunityBio was another great pick of Ray’s. I doubled my money in this stock.

ASTS

Disclosure: I still own ASTS and have no intention of selling anytime soon.

Ray told me about this stock when it was trading at $2.50, and I waited for it to move. Unfortunately, it moved so quickly in eight days that my buy price was $9.45!

Despite my awful entry price, I’m currently up over 45%. I’m targeting a $35 price for this stock, though I think it can run into the triple digits in the next 18 months.

NNE

Disclosure: I still own this stock and have no intention of selling it anytime soon.

The world needs nuclear energy, and this stock has it. 

Again, I got in well after Ray recommended the stock ($13.10), yet I’m still up 72.24%!

This could be another multi-bagger winner.

Wrap Up

So, watch this entertaining and informative video on YouTube. And if you believe in the potential of Ray’s Catalyst Trader, take the next step and sign up on Paradigm Press' webpage.

The future of your investments could be brighter than you think.

Ray changed the face of my retirement. I know he can do the same for you.

Every good nightclub has two things: people with money and a bouncer deciding who gets in. The Pentagon has an enormous amount of the first. Congress has been working on the second. And a handful of mining and manufacturing companies could find themselves inside a very profitable party.

America spent decades convincing other countries that its friendship was worth having. Then its ambassador to Greece allegedly explained, over dinner, that their governments were replaceable. Beijing couldn’t have written a better sales pitch. And it didn’t even have to pick up the check.

In 1884, a dollar bought roughly what it had bought before the Civil War. Try imagining that today: twenty years after a 75% inflationary surge, the price level had retraced the entire move. America once had inflation that went away.

The most dangerous voter in American politics this November may be the Republican who does absolutely nothing. He doesn’t have to switch parties. He doesn’t have to put a Mamdani sign on his lawn, discover a sudden enthusiasm for socialism, or start watching MSNBC. He merely has to stay home. And the first bits of election data suggest quite a few of them may be thinking about doing exactly that.

Oil at $105 is bad enough. The trouble is that $105 is the price everyone can see. If you actually need physical crude delivered to a refinery, the market is telling a nastier story. Cargo premiums are rising, diesel has traded at the equivalent of roughly $180 a barrel, and crack spreads have blown out to extraordinary levels. The Iran war’s economic damage was delayed by reserves, rerouting and extra production. It wasn’t avoided. Now the price behind the price is starting to hit home.
