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.

Washington spent 15 months trying to bend Brazil to its will. The Brazilians responded by reelecting Lula, Wall Street dumped Brazilian stocks, and the dollar soared against the real. Another triumph for American diplomacy. You almost have to admire the consistency.

Gold miners have a nasty problem. The price of what they sell is falling, while the price of what they burn is rising. I’ll show you how that combination can turn an 11% drop in gold into a 58% hit to mining profits.

My friend Adam Sharp thinks silver is headed for $200. So do I. The difference is that Adam's holding his miners while I'm sitting in cash, waiting for the next fat pitch. And with oil above $113 a barrel, the biggest threat to mining profits isn't necessarily what's happening to gold and silver. It's what's happening to the stuff miners have to burn to get them out of the ground.

Two hundred and thirty-one years ago, Americans called George Washington’s peace negotiator a traitor. Today, the Wall Street Journal’s readers are doing much the same thing. The technology has changed, but the tantrum remains the same.

I sent you the wrong Zach article this morning. Fortunately, the right one's even better. Three healthcare giants report earnings tomorrow, and Zach thinks they could point the way to AI's next big investment opportunity.

Congratulations! The Swamp Things have awarded you an extra $75 a month for surviving another year of inflation. Try not to spend it all at one gas station. Today, my old friend Zach Scheidt returns to the Rude with a better idea than waiting for Uncle Sam to make you whole.
