[RiskHedge Report] ** Stephen names the #1 surefire âpost-COVIDâ sector
** Should you invest in red-hot Tesla?
** A 182% gain⦠in 3 hours [Chris Reilly] By Chris Reilly - RiskHedge   Which stock will go down as the clear-cut, permanent winner from COVID-19? Will it be one of todayâs high-flying âstay-at-homeâ tech stocks? Like Zoom (ZM), which has soared a whopping 500% this year. Or Peloton (PTON), up 283%... What about almighty Amazon (AMZN), which is capping off another dominant year⦠up 72% (more than 5X the S&P 500)⦠Or how about one of the tiny, explosive biotech stocks? Or a Big Pharma play like Pfizer (PFE) or Moderna (MRNA), both racing to get an effective vaccine out? Chief analyst Stephen McBride says thereâs only one answer. Truth is, a lot of todayâs big winners will end up being one-hit wonders. When the world returns to normal, youâll never hear about most of these âstay-at-home stocksâ again. Theyâve been great trades... but most of them are simply not good investments. As far as âpermanentâ winnersâstocks you want to own for years and years after COVID fades into the rearview mirrorâmy money is on certain âbrick and mortarâ stores. We all know online sales have surged due to lockdowns. Pure online stores like Overstock (OSTK), Wayfair (W), and Amazon have jumped higher. But the biggest winners from all this are actually names like Home Depot (HD)⦠Target (TGT)⦠Best Buy (BBY)⦠Costco (COST)⦠and Walmart (WMT). Walmartâs online sales jumped 79% last quarterâfaster than Amazon. Best Buyâs digital business soared 242%âfaster than Amazon. Targetâs online sales surged 154% last quarterâagain, faster than Amazon. And hereâs the key: These brick and mortar retailers will face far less competition when we all start shopping in-store again. Many of their competitors have gone out of business during the pandemic. Yelpâs latest figures show more than 80,000 businesses have disappeared since shutdowns. And that includes 8,000 retail stores. While this is sad news, it opens up a huge opportunity for these retailers to profit. Just as demand for online shopping is surging, their competitors are going out of business by the thousands. But the company that can successfully merge both online and offline will dominate the future of retail. And come out of this pandemic as the true winner. Stephen says that crown will go to Walmart. He continues: Hereâs a crazy stat: In 1962⦠Walmart did $975,000 in revenue its first year. Today, in 2020⦠itâs making $975,000 every 58 seconds! Itâs able to do this because itâs mastering both the offline AND physical store game. Nobody comes close to Walmart in this regard. It has more than 4,750 stores in the US. And 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of one of its stores. And this year, it will sell over $50 billion worth of goods through Walmart.com. In fact, itâs overtaken eBay to become Americaâs second-largest online seller. Walmart is one of my all-time favorite stocks. Buy some shares today and just hold on for the long haul. Youâll be glad you did. Did you see Tesla is finally joining the âbig leagues?â On December 21st, the electric car pioneer will be added to the S&P 500âthe most watched, talked about, and written about stock benchmark in the world. Tesla will be the largest company to ever be added to the index. Shares have exploded 600%+ this year⦠enough to make Elon Musk the second-richest man on the planet. (Like me, Iâm sure youâve been bombarded with headlines like this over the past week)⦠Source: Bloomberg Should you invest in Tesla today? Stephen weighs in: I have nothing against Tesla. I donât drive here in Ireland. But if I did, Iâd go out and buy a Tesla. Theyâre incredibleâcompletely reimaged what a car can be. But as I explained a couple months ago, when a stock gets added [to the S&P 500, itâs not always a good thing](. Research from Goldman Sachs looked at every stock included in the S&P 500 over the past two years. They found that the stock typically falls once it gets added to the index. If youâre looking for a safer and smarter way to play the electric vehicle (EV) megatrend, Stephen says Albemarle (ALB) is the better play. [Longtime readers know Albemarle is the worldâs largest lithium producer](. And lithium is a key component of EV batteries. Stephen says by owning Albemarle, you donât have to back a horse in this race. Youâll make money no matter which EV maker comes out on top. Thatâs because all of them will need lithium-powered batteries. As the worldâs largest lithium producer, Albemarle is fueling practically every electric car driving on American roads today⦠and will continue to in 2021 and beyond. And although itâs nowhere near the 600% gains Teslaâs achieved this year⦠ALBâs not doing too bad. Itâs rallied 141% since bottoming in March. And Stephen just told his Disruption Investor subscribers to take a âFree Rideâ on the stock. [Remember, a âFree Rideâ is a simple strategy our guys often use to lock in profits when one of their recommendations shoots up 100%+](. The idea is you sell enough shares to take your initial investment off the table, and then let the rest ârideâ risk free. Itâs the best way to eliminate any risk⦠while still going after big gains. And speaking of big gains⦠Stephen and Chief Trader Justin Spittler just delivered a monster return for their Disruption Trader subscribers. A 182% explosion⦠in less than 3 hours In Disruption Trader, Stephen and Justin pinpoint the worldâs fastest-growing stocks⦠what they call âhypergrowthâ stocks. Hypergrowth stocks can gain 200%, 300%, or upwards of 400% within months⦠And in very rare cases, like the guys proved this week⦠even 182% in 3 hours. Source: Yahoo Finance They sent their âbuyâ alert out a little after 1 pm last Monday. And before market close, this hypergrowth stock was trading 182% higher. Now, let me be clear: This is a very small and âilliquidâ stock. Meaning, not many shares are traded each day. So one big surge in buying can cause it to blow off like a geyser and âovershoot.â Shares have since settled back into the $5â6 rangeâabout 110% above where subscribers initially got into the stock. But the truth is, you rarely see these types of gains in anything but hypergrowth stocks. Thatâs because theyâre creating entirely new industries from scratch. This ânewnessâ gives them a blue sky of opportunity to grow rapidly, with no competitors. This specific stock (which I canât name out of fairness to paying subscribers) is creating a NEW way to work. Its technology delivers an experience thatâs like a PowerPoint presentation on steroids. As weâve emphasized, hypergrowth stocks move so fast, you really need to nail your entries and exits. If youâre interested in trading hypergrowth stocks on your own, Justin has 3 âgolden rulesâ⦠- Take profits as they come⦠and consider ârollingâ part of your profits into the next trade. - Let your winning trades run, and cut your losing trades early. - Look for âasymmetricâ setups where your profit potential is at least 5X greater than your risk. Thatâs all for this week⦠let me know of any opportunities youâd like to hear more about at chrisreilly@riskhedge.com. Chris Reilly
