Fellow Fools, Put on your investor cap for a moment and tell us what you think of when you read this: “In China, it's common for people to head out in the morning and leave their wallets behind. They go about their day with no credit cards, no debit cards, and NO cash… When 7-Eleven doesn’t take cash, you better pay attention.” This is from a previous bit of research we published. It was a major discovery for us on a recent trip around the globe with two other prominent investors (and the U.S. seems still behind the curve on this): Cash and physical credit cards are dying. Why you might be interested When major trends shift like this, we always look for how to benefit as an investor. (And of course, share that knowledge!) That's why we're keenly excited about this technology that became wildly apparent to us on our long journey. And as the world emerges from the pandemic, and with the bear market turning back north (as all bear markets have done in the past), I'm especially dialed into this "digital payments revolution" right now. It's also worth asking how much longer this technology stays under the radar with coverage like this: - The New York Times calls it "a gold mine of staggering proportions." - Research firm IDC told the Times : "Literally every business and brand in China is plugged into this ecosystem." - Fortune Business Insights estimates the digital payments market will grow 24.4% annually to $19.8 trillion in 2026. We believe this has set up a great opportunity for four outstanding companies whose stocks have been personally recommended by the expert investing team at Motley Fool Stock Advisor. This is the same team so well-known for investing ahead of the wave when new technologies like this appear on the horizon. For example, here are actual returns for stocks they picked ahead of these other big trends: - Internet commerce: Amazon – UP 21,726% - Video streaming: Netflix – UP 24,553% - Digital entertainment: Marvel (now Walt Disney) – UP 5,977% - Online travel services: Priceline (now Bookings Holdings) – UP 15,509% - Gaming: Activision Blizzard – UP 2,994% Of course, not every recommendation is going to be a winner (and anyone who tells you different is lying), but Stock Advisor has beaten the market by more than 3-to-1 since its inception 20 years ago – with average returns of 615.5%. That's a remarkable record in a world where most fund managers lose to the market. We have stock recommendations Now, because of the potential of this exciting digital payments technology... ... and because of Stock Advisor's enviable track record... ...
