Did Lululemon stock sink because of... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy How to Earn a 149% Gain in 30 Days Jeff Siegel | Apr 29, 2024 If Lululemon stock wasnât under enough pressure due to weakness in U.S. sales, the company is now faced with another headache. Theft! As you know, thereâs been an alarming trend of brazen shoplifting attacks in the U.S. Iâm sure youâve seen the footage. Shoplifters waltzing into a store, stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, and strolling out of the store without a care in the world. [lululemon stock] Security guards stand by and watch it all unfold. Oftentimes theyâre told not to interfere so as to avoid lawsuits. Yes, we now live in a world where a store can be sued for stopping a shoplifter. Sadly, this trend has decimated the retail presence in some of our biggest cities. We're talking about San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston. In New York, some drug stores actually shut down because they could no longer keep shoplifters from ripping them off. This resulted in locals having to find new drug stores further away, and of course plenty of job losses.  From an investment perspective, these thefts have also led to increased liabilities for public companies. Artificial Intelligence 2.0 Is Coming A new and extremely powerful AI is about to come online... Researchers call this next generation artificial general intelligence, or AGI. As Bill Gates explains, "[AGI] will be able to do everything that a human brain can, but without any... limits." The New York Times says, AGIâs impact will be "drastic, exponential, and irreversible..." And Elon Musk predicts it will either create "an age of abundance" or "destroy humanity." Some experts estimate AGI could wipe out 80% of jobs. Millions of Americans will be begging for government handouts. A few folks WILL get rich. But most Americans will get left behind. Keith Kohl just prepared [a brand-new presentation]( that shows how you should prepare as AGI takes over. But thereâs no time to waste. AGI could come online as early as three months from today. The steps youâre taking today could determine which side youâll be on. [Get the full story here.]( Consider Walmart (NYSE:WMT), for instance, which lost $6.5 billion from theft in 2023. Thatâs billion with a âB.â And you know what really makes me crazy? When folks trivialize this kind of theft because âWalmart is a huge corporation.â As if that matters. Nevermind that this theft costs a lot of jobs, guts local tax revenues and weighs on the stockâs valuation. A stock, by the way, that is a common holding in most retirement plans. Of course, itâs not just behemoth corporations like Walmart that are being affected. Lululemon, for instance, recently announced that it had been the target of a massive theft ring that swiped hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. While that may not seem like much compared to the $6.5 billion Walmart lost, itâs definitely enough to pressure Lululemon stock. But is it enough to throw the stock off course? [$34,200 Retirement Handout Starts on MAY 19th.]( There isnât much time to waste...

I wrote that article on April 15th. Seven trading days later, it was up more than 10%. [lulu10] Of course, while a 10% gain in seven days is nothing to sneeze at, itâs also not the type of gains weâre looking for. After all, here at Energy & Capital, weâre regularly delivering double-, triple-, and even quadruple-digit gains on a regular basis. In fact, just last month I alerted you to a stock called MindMed (NASDAQ: MNMD), which was trading at a steep discount at the time. So I told you about it on February 26th, when it was trading at around $4.90 a share. Less than a month later, it hit a high of $12.22 a share. Thatâs a gain of 149.3%. [mnmdnewchart] That, dear reader, is how to get rich in this market. And as luck would have it, I have a new stock to share with you that I believe will deliver gains in excess of 132% in the next six weeks. I wrote about it in [this investment note]( which I just published. Donât get me wrong. Indeed, I have no issues with locking in a quick 10% on Lululemon stock. But Iâm far more interested in doubling my money within one to two months. And I suspect you are, too. [Hereâs how you can do that right now.]( To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...
