[Once the Clock Strikes Midnight March 31, You Could Miss Your Shot at Millions](
You have the chance to find out how to [reach millionaire status within weeks](... but only if you act before March 31. On that day, a little-known Federal mandate will be fully enforced - and could unleash a 3,982% revenue surge for one small company. But if you don't want to miss your shot at millions this month, [you better strike now](... because after this door closes, it may never open again. [Continue here](...

[Make These Five Plays - and You'll Look Like a Whiz After Trade Dispute Settles](

[How This Tech Play Scored a 423% Earnings Gain](
Trading
[IBM and Microsoft Both Need This Tiny "Chaos" Agent]( Say what you will about President Donald Trump - he's certainly been consistent on China.
During the 2016 campaign, he repeatedly promised to slash our trade deficit with the world's most populous nation. Last week, he said the goal is to cut that $375 billion yearly shortfall by as much as $100 billion.
This explains three moves he has made recently...
- The first are the president's 25% tariffs on imported steel, most of which comes from China. We went over those [a couple of weeks ago](.
- The second occurred earlier this month when the White House blocked Singapore-based Broadcom Ltd. (Nasdaq: [AVGO]()'s proposed $117 billion acquisition of Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq: [QCOM](), the wireless chip leader based in San Diego.
- Then, late last week, President Trump signed an executive memorandum that would impose retaliatory tariffs on up to $60 billion in Chinese imports in order to punish Beijing for stealing American companies' intellectual property.
These three big moves have many on Wall Street doubting the wisdom of investing in any Chinese tech stocks in the current climate.
That's crazy.
First off, all the media "noise" around tariffs and trade ward doesn't match the reality of the situation... the "signal" - which is that Trump's tough talk has gotten China and others to the negotiating table.
We've already gotten concessions from South Korea - and I bet Beijing will be close behind.
So, while others flee in fear, I've identified five Chinese tech leaders that I think will benefit - not despite Trump's moves... but because of them.
Today I'm going to show you why the time to act is now and how you can make big money doing so...
---------------------------------------------------------------
[PROFIT OPPORTUNITY](
Today, one of Silicon Valley's biggest and most famous companies is rumored to be unveiling a brand-new wireless charging device. It's a slightly more advanced version of those "charging mats" you've probably seen folks use at the airport or coffee shop - or maybe you have one yourself. There's just one problem. Wireless charging has already advanced beyond those pads - way beyond.
That's why I'm glad to report that I've uncovered a tiny firm that's developed its own, much more innovative wireless charging device. It's already received FCC approval... signed, sealed, and delivered. And it's protected by dozens of patents. Thanks to this "first-mover advantage," this tiny company is set to deliver investors [78x windfalls](. We've got all the info you need [right here...](
---------------------------------------------------------------
The World's Largest - and Pulling Away
China's e-commerce sector, which surpassed our own to become the world's largest in 2013, now accounts for more than $1 trillion in yearly sales, according to eMarketer. That's nearly twice as large as U.S. e-commerce market.
And that booming e-commerce market will continue to grow - eMarketer predicts it will more than double to $2.66 trillion by 2021.
Of course, the rapid growth in smartphone use is a key factor. There are now 663 million of these e-commerce enabling devices in China, says Statista.com. Currently 46.8% of Chinese people shop online, and Statista says that 67% of those folks will be by 2022.
And mobile-based spending now accounts for half of all of China's e-commerce, says eMarketer. That compares to just 22% here in the U.S.
Moreover, we can't ignore the fact that the world economy is shifting - with the nexus of global trade moving from the United States to China. Back in 1985 - when the global economy was worth $19 trillion in "real" terms - North America, Western Europe, and Japan accounted for two-thirds of all global growth. Back then, China and the rest of Asia accounted for 18%.

[Self-Driving Cars Just Took a Hit, So Put Your "Auto Tech" Money Here Instead](
Self-driving cars are still coming, but they took a hit in the wake of the fatal accident involving an autonomous Uber vehicle and a pedestrian on March 19.
And now we're getting reports that Uber's self-driving car project hadn't been living up to expectations for months. Ride-hailing app company Lyft has a human-assisted self-driving car project, as well, meaning it's using the same method that caused a fatality just last week.
However, we've found a tiny tech firm that is making real, measurable progress in vehicle safety and could unleash a $2 billion cash grab as soon as this Saturday. [Take a look...](
---------------------------------------------------------------
This scenario has totally reversed. Now, two-thirds of "real GDP" ($114 trillion) is due to China and Asia - while the former Big Three account for 29% of what the world produces.
This growth in e-commerce is coming as China shifts away from its focus on exports and places a greater emphasis on domestic spending. In other words, China's government is pulling out the stops to make its economy grow internally.
That's a savvy move for two big reasons
- It helps make sure that Chinese firms swing for the fences.
- Firms operating mostly domestically will be immune from tariffs.
That's all great news these four Chinese E-Commerce Whizzes that are tapping the lucrative convergence of mobile, cloud computing, and e-commerce.
All five have solid potential to double in value over the next three years.
Take a look...
Chinese E-Commerce Whiz No. 1
The King of Social Video
Momo Inc. (Nasdaq ADR: [MOMO](), a leading social networking firm, perfectly illustrates the convergence of live broadcasting and social media.
Right now, it's the globe's third-largest social media platform in terms of monthly active users - and the live broadcasting part of business is the driver behind that success. Of the three social media leaders, Momo users spend the highest amount of time watching live video feeds.
No wonder sales have shot up from $134 million in 2015 to more than $1.3 billion in 2017. By next year, Momo stands to bring in $2.4 billion in sales. That's a stunning 105% yearly growth rate.
To keep growth rates on the leading edge, Momo has begun to make some savvy tuck-in acquisitions.
Last month, the firm bought Tantan, a leading dating app in China. The typical user is just 22 years old, meaning Momo can grow with them as they evolve through the social media life cycles.
Chinese E-Commerce Whiz No. 2
The Conversation Starter
Social media firm Weibo Corp. (Nasdaq ADR: [WB]() has built a massive user base of 376 million with an innovative twist. Any user can follow any other user and add comments to a feed while reposting. That has turned the Weibo platform into the world's top live conversation stream.
Weibo is more of an entertainment site than mere social media platform. More than half of users say that they use Weibo to hear from China's top stars, many of whom post daily articles that build multiple conversation threads.
---------------------------------------------------------------
[This Breakthrough Device Just Received FCC Approval (This Changes Everything)](
The FCC just approved a tiny company's [game-changing device]( - and it could spark the most monumental technological transformation you'll ever witness. In fact, nearly every home in America could be using this technology in just a few years. And once [this new technology]( gets incorporated into hotels, restaurants, airports, coffee shops, even entire cities... it could be a trillion-dollar business. The manufacturing stage could begin any moment now. [You need to hurry]( if you want the chance to profit from this upcoming revolution. [Click here to get started today](.
---------------------------------------------------------------
To boost sales, Weibo has learned how to smartly offer trendy goods for sale. Right now, the site has 15,000 fashion icons, pushing their favorite designs on e-commerce sites hosted on Weibo.
That payoff has been impressive. Sales have shot up from $478 million in 2015 to $1.15 billion last year. And look for sales to more than double again by next year, to around $2.6 billion. Adjusted earnings should surge 150% by next year (compared to 2017 profits) to around $1.14 billion.
Chinese E-Commerce Whiz No. 3
The Google of China
Baidu Inc. (Nasdaq: [BIDU]()'s highly profitable search engine accounts for 90% of China's online search advertising market, is often the first page to be launched when Chinese consumers go online.
Even as Baidu continues to squeeze massive profits out of that core search platform, the firm has been smartly investing in a range of new growth areas.
This past November, at its annual Baidu World technology conference, the firm laid out its plans to play a key role in the Chinese market for intelligent vehicles, smart-home devices, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, with a strong focus on image and voice recognition.
Of course, Baidu can afford to make such heavy investments as its adjusted earnings now surpass $3 billion per year, adding to Baidu's existing $18.8 billion cash pile.
Chinese E-Commerce Whiz No. 4
Way Beyond E-Commerce
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (Nasdaq: [BABA]() runs the largest consumer online retail sites (Taobao, TMall) in China. And its core Alibaba.com site, along with 1688.com, are among the leading business-focused e-commerce sites.
Like Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: [AMZN](), Alibaba is now seeing the benefits of its massive scale. The firm collects revenue mainly from commissions, marketing services, subscription fees, cloud computing, software, and other value-added services.
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Critical News From The Pentagon (Tiny Defense Contractor Could Go Berserk)](
We're on the precipice of the biggest defense boom in history, and the Pentagon just delivered [earth-shattering news](. You see, they've been secretly funneling billions into a new generation of defense contractors... one of them is a [tiny $6 company]( with a top-secret technology that could put America back on top for years to come. Once this news breaks, this tiny firm could fly through the roof. [You've got to see this now](... [before it's too late](.
---------------------------------------------------------------
To leverage its platforms, Alibaba also owns media, logistics, and payment companies, and it can offer delivery, warehousing, payment, and financing services for its market participants.
This isn't a firm that is resting on its laurels. It spent $2.5 billion in R&D last year, triple what it spent in 2014.
Despite those investments, adjusted earnings shot up 53% last year to $6.67 billion. And adjusted earnings are poised to rise another 33% by next year (compared to 2017 levels).
Chinese E-Commerce Whiz No. 5
The Beef Blockchain - and More
When we talked on March 16, I noted that JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq ADR: [JD]() is becoming a great [backend play on blockchain technology](. That was shortly after the firm announced plans to use that advanced digital ledger system to track beef imports.
Even before these blockchain efforts take full root, JD.com is already growing at a rapid clip. The firm's sales rose 40% last year, and sales should rise another 62% to $93 billion by next year, compared to 2017 levels.
Then again, there's much more going on here. Simply stated, this firm has built one of China's strongest e-commerce platforms, with both a direct sales model and a marketplace that supports third-party merchants.
---------------------------------------------------------------
[The Top Defense Stocks to Buy in 2018 Are Loving This $61 Billion Windfall](
Last Friday, the U.S. Senate passed a $1.3 trillion federal funding bill that included an additional $61 billion for the nation's defense budget. While the additional $61 billion assigned to the Pentagon is a small portion of the $700 billion allocated toward defense spending annually, there's a significant catch - this new $61 billion must be spent in the next six months. This means that the Pentagon will be pouring billions of dollars into the defense industry in the immediate future - a move that is sure to have a direct impact on the profit potential of our top defense stocks to buy in 2018. I've identified three stocks that are perfectly positioned to take advantage of this avalanche of new funding. [Here's how to position yourself for profit...](
---------------------------------------------------------------
It's taking a page from the Amazon playbook. JD's investments in a strong warehouse-and-delivery network makes it a go-to choice for clients that need goods quickly, and gives it a strong advantage in China's big cities.
We saw a big day up yesterday - and another today - as rumors of a backroom trade deal circulated. So while I think these five Chinese E-Commerce Whizzes will keep on rising, tariffs or no, that news is lighting another fuse under them.
So add it all up and you can see why I think you need to ignore the noise on Wall Street about all things anti-China.
Instead, focus on the "signal" that these five winners represent.
All five are set to double in value over the next three years. With them, you'll juice your portfolio and defy the "experts" all at once.
And that's something truly worth being proud of.
See you later this week.
Here's what else I'm following...
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Globe's Greatest Oil Tycoon Coming to White House (Ahead of an Expected $2 Trillion IPO)](
A revolutionary business leader is coming to the U.S. this week. In a strategic power play, he'll be meeting with President Trump to advance his agenda. Experts believe that at the center of that agenda looms the largest IPO in world history, valued at $2 trillion. But Dr. Kent Moors has discovered a back-door way to play off this momentum before the company goes public. It's all in this interview. Act fast, and you could make up to a total of 1,329% over four plays! [Click here to watch this eye-opening video while it's still available](.
[Finding Profits in the One Technology That Can Protect the Pentagon's Secrets](
As you might imagine in this era of cyberattacks, not everyone in Washington is on board with the Pentagon's current plan for massive data migration. They worry that we're exposing ourselves to black-hat hackers. Here's the thing. There's a relatively new approach out there that offers far more security, not to mention a permanent record of every single transaction involving a military budget totaling more than $750 billion. It's a system I call the Milblock. [And investing in the Milblock's field could land you a 10-bagger...](
Ignore the Headlines - Crypto Is Ready to Explode
Media pundits continue to proclaim, "The death of crypto is near." But if you listen to this fear mongering, you may miss out on one of the most profitable decisions of a lifetime. Because while the talking heads say the crypto bubble is ready to pop, Tom Gentile knows it's quite the opposite. Now, he's sharing everything you need to know to take advantage of the market's most lucrative asset. To find out how - and sign up for his free, twice-weekly Power Profits Trades - [click here](.
[Every Medical Marijuana Company Needs This Technology](
Marijuana is probably the least studied cash crop in the world. Researchers are stymied because marijuana is still illegal on the federal level. That's cut down on the sort of research that's needed to usher in the next round of cannabis-based wonder drugs. But that doesn't mean no research is happening. And most marijuana analytics firms are using state-of-the-art gene-sequencing equipment from the company I want to tell you about today. If you got in when I first suggested this stock just a few months ago, you've already made nearly 19%. [But it's got a lot further to run...](
