[Trend Trader Daily] The Pentagon sets the stage for 10 years of big profits May 09, 2023 As you may know, I covered the government, defense, technology, finance, and business beats for decades. And I did so for some of America's most respected news outlets. I've actually been nominated for awards for my reporting on these and other related sectors. We'll circle back to the awards in more detail later. Not because I like to boast, but because it's relevant to the incredible opportunity I'm going to lay out for you over the next several days. The reason I'm touching on it now is to give you a frame of reference for this opportunity right up front – and here it is: In all my years as a renowned journalist on the Washington and national-security beats, the #1 thing I learned is this: The U.S. military is the greatest engine of world-changing, disruptive technology on the planet. What I learned simultaneously – from a business and financial perspective – is that the Pentagon is also one of the biggest and most reliable drivers of long-term investing profits. Today, I'm going to begin showing you why those two simple facts are going to be critically important over the next ten years – to our nation and to your bottom line – starting right now. So much more than Tang, Jeeps, Velcro, Super Glue and duct tape Because of their pop-culture associations with America's military and space programs, many people believe Velcro and Tang were invented by the U.S. government. They weren't. The thing is, the list of things that were invented by the American War Machine is far more impressive, yet much less well-known among the general public. I'm talking about things that are substantially more consequential than glue-less fasteners and powdered fruit-drinks that prove useful in space. And more important than Jeeps, duct tape, and Super Glue, which also owe their existence to the Pentagon. One of those crucial inventions is satellite-based GPS navigation. The earliest versions of this technology were developed and implemented by the U.S. Navy, and quickly became indispensable to other branches of the service as well. By 2004, successive actions by presidents Reagan, Clinton, and Bush 43 paved the way for civilian access to the full power of the Global Positioning System, and the rest is history – including profit history. Just take a look at what GPS mega-player Garmin (GRMN) stock did after this vital "nav" technology went mainstream: That's a run-up of 1,141% in less than 13 years, from lowest to highest points. It was a similar story for cellular phones... Worldwide, approximately 6.6 billion people – that's more than 80% of the global population – have mobile phones, based on the latest subscription numbers. But few of these people know that the cellular-network technology that powers those phones was pioneered by the American military. The U.S. Army developed it in the 1980s to enhance its battlefield-communications capabilities. From these tactical beginnings, the civilian mobile-phone phenomenon blossomed – along with some stunning investment profits for those who got in early, and played it right. For instance, consider the case of Nokia during the cell-phone boom of the '90s. In 1992, Nokia brought the first mass-produced "2G" phone (the model 1011) to the market. In 1994, its shares began trading on the NYSE... And by the year 2000, when global cell-phone use hit 2.5 billion, Nokia (NOK) shares had gone up an incredible 4,782%, valley to peak. See here: This would've been good enough to make you more than 47 times your money in about six years. And that's just one company... I could name a half-dozen more that went up like hockey sticks on the modern cell-phone boom. Like Qualcomm (QCOM), for instance. During this same time-period, it posted unreal peak gains of 24,575% in under eight years. Then there's the Internet. No, it wasn't invented by Al Gore. It was invented by The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA") in the late 1960s, at the height of the Cold War. Back then, our military used this "ARPANET" to share sensitive information without having to go through a central command center – which could have been vulnerable to Soviet espionage. But today, we owe all of our online shopping, banking, education, research, social media, cat videos, and TikTok dance routines to its groundbreaking technology... Plus some of the biggest stock profits in the history of money. Perhaps the most obvious example of this is Amazon (AMZN), a company born and bred for the Web. Amazon went public in 1997, just as the Internet was beginning to explode in mainstream usage and popularity. And as you might know, Amazon shares have been among the most lucrative of any company in the modern age. From its lowest point in the fall of 2001 to its highest point in the summer of 2021, a span of just under two decades... Amazon posted incredible 68,500% peak returns, or more than 685 times investors' money. But even if we cut that time span in half – and only look at the last ten years – AMZN has still nailed valley-to-peak gains of 1,392%. For a large and mature company, that's an incredibly impressive return. And just like the other examples I showed you, it all started with the U.S. military. So did microwave ovens, personal computers, digital photography, virtual reality, Silly Putty, aviator shades, concentrated orange juice, synthetic rubber, bug spray, and so much more. All of these innovations could have made clued-in and well-positioned early investors very rich. And that brings me to the REAL point of this special series of articles we're kicking off today. If I'm right – and I believe that I am... A major Pentagon-driven profit opportunity is emerging again... Last year, The Pentagon quietly awarded a $300-million contract to a small American company. This contract is for the development of a battlefield-level technological innovation that'll help the U.S. military fight and win our next epic war (more on this in the coming days). The prototype of this device is scheduled to be delivered to the government for testing in 2024. Of course, the Department of Defense ("DOD") awards a lot of contracts, to a lot of companies, for a lot of different things. The vast majority of them aren't world-changing breakthroughs... But I'm 100% certain that this particular contract lit the fuse on something that'll soon be an indispensable part of civilian life around the world – just like cell phones, the Internet, digital photography, microwave ovens, and GPS navigation. This special multi-day series of Trend Trader Daily is all about this incredible quantum leap in essential technology... the tectonic shifts in global power that are pushing it forward... And the one investment move you must make NOW to take the greatest financial advantage of it, according to my analysis. Tomorrow, I'll begin to flesh out all this information more fully – and prove to you why I'm the one you should be listening to about this emerging opportunity. So stay tuned. I guarantee you won't regret it. Cheers and Good Investing, [Michael Robinson] Michael Robinson Chief Investment Officer Trend Trader Daily   Copyright © Trend Trader Daily, All rights reserved.
