[Your six-week market advantage starts right here]( at the Global Shockwave Summit. Our chief supply chain analyst just jumped straight into a series of shockwaves - and they're placing unprecedented opportunities in the global economy right now.

This Infrastructure Play Could Be a $5 Trillion Opportunity
By Tim Melvin
Dear Reader,
This morning one of the small banks I follow had a sign on its doors and on its website that read:
"Due to the PG&E planned power outage, certain branch locations may be temporarily closed during the scheduled event. Locations which may be impacted are Santa Rosa, San Jose, San Rafael, and Los Altos. Should this occur, the branch will reopen once power is fully restored. Please continue to visit our website for updated notifications regarding possible temporary branch closures. Our online and mobile banking remain fully functional."
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. ([NYSE:PCG]() has turned off the power for hundreds of thousands of customers because of the high winds that have the potential to create wildfires like the ones that have ravaged California in the past few years.
Down south, Southern California Edison ([NYSE:EIX]() shut off power in parts of L.A., Ventura, San Bernardino, and Kern counties to reduce the risk of fire.
While news of impeachment and China have kept this from being a huge story this week the truth is that it is probably the biggest story of the year so far.
We are talking about potentially millions of people going without power for an extended period because the electrical grid is in such comically lousy condition that there is a real risk of setting the state on fire.
It is not just California, either. It is the whole country.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, much of the nation's electric transmission and distribution lines were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s with a 50-year life expectancy, and the more than 640,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines in the lower 48 states' power grids are at full capacity.
According to the Society's 2017 Infrastructure report card "Without greater attention to aging equipment, capacity bottlenecks, and increased demand, as well as increasing storm and climate impacts, Americans will likely experience longer and more frequent power interruptions."
I expect to read that about some third world country, not the United States.
For our all faults, this is still one of the most affluent nations on earth, and our infrastructure should be the best on the planet.
All in it could cost up to $5 trillion to completely repair and replace and harden the electrical grid against potential attacks.
That money needs to be spent and spent soon.
Just ask the folks in California today, or those up north when snow takes out the line, or those of us in the south when a hurricane leaves us without power for a few days how much fun living with no electricity can be for an extended time.
A Generational Opportunity
This is going to be one of the most significant investment trends ever.
It won't be about men in labs making breakthroughs, faster internet speeds, or cars that drive themselves.
This trend will be about regular folks in blue jeans and hard hats climbing poles, running cable, and burying lines.
This is not data scientists at work. Repairing and replacing the grid is about engineers, heavy equipment operators, lineman (cue Glen Campbell), and bucket truck operators getting dirty and doing the work that lights up the world.
If this trend does not take hold soon and properly, none of those other fancy advances will mean very much.
It seems they all need a consistently reliable source of electricity to perform correctly.
I keep a list of engineering and construction companies that work on the grid, as well as the supply contractors and utility companies, the supplies they need to complete the task ahead of them, right along with the price I want to pay for each company in my top desk drawer.
When the price gets there, I buy the stock, and I have no intention of selling until the work is done and the profits are banked.
If we get a sell off anytime soon, a big part of my portfolio will look like an infrastructure private equity fund.
Yours should as well if you want to capture your share of the enormous profits that will be made repairing and replacing the electrical grid.
To the Max,
[

P.S., These wildfires and rolling blackouts on this scale aren't going to just affect a handful of California-area utility companies themselves. In addition to every business that can't get power or their employees to work because of these events, California accounts for about 14% of U.S. GDP, and this impact will ripple out into the broader market. [Shockwave events like these happen all the time](, and as you've seen, they're not always the story that makes the biggest headlines. Even though most of these events don't make it to the news, they can have an unprecedented impact on the greater market. [Right here]( you can find out how these major economic events could help you tap [into a stream of 1,000% gain potential](.
Here's what else I'm following...

[Today: Anyone Can Become an Angel Investor with as Little as $50](
Angel investing used to be off-limits to the average American... but Robert Herjavec said it best during this live broadcast: "The walls have finally come down. You no longer have to be rich, famous, or powerful to become an angel investor!" Congress has now made it possible for you to [take advantage of these life-changing deals](.
By becoming an angel investor, you can be right there - [one of the first to invest in the next Steve Jobs](, the next Bill Gates, or the next Elon Musk. And because you're there at the beginning, the upside is infinitely greater. For so long, regular folks have been locked out... [but not anymore](.
