Guess who saw their potential before they became the corporate giants we all know and love today? That's right, yours truly! I have the knack for spotting unicorns before they go galloping across Wall Street, and it's served me well. Let me give you a peek behind the curtain and show you how I managed to spot these shooting stars in the making. First up, the big Apple. When I bought shares at a humble $0.35, Apple was the underdog. Steve Jobs had just made his big return, and iMac was the company's latest marvel. Who could've predicted the iPod, iPad, iPhone, and App Store were still up their sleeve? But there was something about Apple that caught my eye. The die-hard fanbase, the untapped potential of millions of homes without a personal computer, the knack for stylish and innovative products, and let's not forget a balance sheet that could make an accountant cry happy tears. Add to that, Steve Jobs, the ace in Apple's deck. He was a genius who turned the company around. Fast forward to today, and Apple is still killing it, while poor old BlackBerry has been left in the dust. Thanks to the iPhone, people can't live without Apple. Remember when everyone used to talk about the "network effect"? Apple's App Store was the poster child for it. Developers flocked to create apps for their platform, making the ecosystem flourish like a well-tended garden. Next up, Microsoft. Despite controlling a massive chunk of the world's operating systems and having rising profits, the stock took a tumble. Investors were getting antsy about Google's search engine prowess and Apple's potential threat to the personal computing space. But given its huge pile of cash and bargain-bin share prices, I thought, "That's too good a deal to pass up for a top-tier company like Microsoft." Turns out, I was onto something. A few years later, Microsoft switched gears and adopted a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. It was like opening Pandora's box, but instead of evils, it was filled with opportunities. The more people used Word and Excel, the more Microsoft's network effect kicked in. Soon, Microsoft was rubbing shoulders with Apple in the $1 trillion market-cap club. Netflix's path to stardom was no less dramatic. From 400,000 subscribers at the start of the century, to nearly 233 million today, the company's growth has been nothing short of mind-blowing. Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing. There was that time when Netflix tried to separate its DVD and streaming services. That went over about as well as a lead balloon. Customers weren't thrilled, and Netflix had to backtrack faster than a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Back then, I was betting against Netflix. But my boss helped me see the bigger picture. Just like Microsoft, Netflix was already set up to benefit from each new subscriber, with almost pure profit. I promptly abandoned my short position and went all-in on Netflix shares. And boy, did it pay off! The secret sauce that these three companies have in common? They're all "hyperscalable." As they scaled, their revenue kept soaring like an eagle riding an updraft. You know, it's funny. I meet so many people who wish they could turn back time and invest in Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Netflix. They think that the ship has sailed. But I believe there are still plenty of undiscovered gems out there. If you play your cards right, you could be the one telling the story of how you saw their potential before anyone else did. Remember, every cloud has a silver lining, even a volatile market. Today's turbulence might just be the best thing that ever happened to your portfolio. So keep your eyes peeled for the next unicorn, because they are definitely out there, just waiting to be discovered!   Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: Monetary support seems to suggest that we're about to exit the bear market.

We’ve recorded a special sit-down interview with a reclusive millionaire who details how he’s closed out winning trade after winning trade throughout the volatility of 2022.

Splashy, unexpected, and not exactly according to the recipe. But here's the thing. Despite the parade of red flags — an inverted yield curve, swelling debt levels, and an economy that's about as robust as a three-legged stool — some folks are still holding out hope for a soft landing, recession be damned. It reminds me of those people who insist on going for a run even when it's pouring outside. "It's just a little rain," they say. "This time it's different." Uh huh. But what if — and hear me out here — this time, it really is different? Someone asked: "What are the odds that the fastest tightening cycle combined with highest debt/GDP level will end up in a soft landing?" And I thought, "Hmm, the odds of me doing a backflip are higher." But still, it got me thinking. Let's consider our current situation. Since 1981, the Federal Government has been spending like a teenager with a brand new credit card. Debt has shot up like a SpaceX launch, supported by low-interest rates, and every rate hike cycle has ended in a recession faster than a game of musical chairs. I mean, when you take money away from buying new stuff and put it towards paying off debt, it's bound to make an impact. The graph below paints a clear picture: increased debt equals less economic growth. But instead of tightening their belts, politicians seem hell-bent on spending more money in the name of public welfare. It's like throwing a dinner party when you're already up to your eyeballs in debt. What does this mean for us?  (article continues below) Sponsored [Bank Accounts: Frozen!]( In 1990, the Brazilian government froze the bank accounts of thousands of citizens. In 2013, the victims were the people of Cyprus. In 2022, it hit closer to home — in Canada. And now the Federal Reserve System Docket No. OP-1670 reveals the plan to give the Fed the power to track and potentially even control your checking account. Not just the money you have in your account … But also, every single check, withdrawal, deposit and transaction. Practically everything you do with your money  Well, despite the economic storm clouds brewing, there's a silver lining. Remember the massive Inflation Reduction Act? That whopping $1.7 Trillion check on top of over $5 Trillion in stimulus payments during the Pandemic era? That money didn't just disappear into thin air. It created a surge in economic activity and sent inflation into overdrive, like a roadrunner on a sugar rush. And even though the Fed is hiking rates like there's no tomorrow, there's a chance the economy might be more robust than a cockroach in a nuclear winter. I'm talking about monetary support that's still hovering at eye-watering levels. It's like having a party and not cleaning up afterward. The effects of the spending spree linger on, providing economic support even as we brace for potential failure. Speaking of spending, the Biden Administration's $1.7 Trillion Inflation Reduction Act has set the stage for more splurging in 2023. Federal spending is up by 3% quarter-over-quarter in Q1 2023. If that continues, we're looking at more than $7 Trillion in federal spending by the end of the year. Now that's a party! So, here's the million-dollar question. Is the worst behind us? The market seems to think so, especially with the Nasdaq leading the charge like a champion racehorse in 2023. But here's the catch. While the market is acting like a weather vane for the economy, there's still a raincloud of recession indicators hanging over our heads. The real question is, are we on the verge of a recession, or are we just hypochondriacs reading too much into our economic symptoms? Time will tell if these sniffles are nothing more than a false alarm, or if we're about to come down with something nasty. Until then, we're left wondering if this rally, coupled with the still-present monetary support, hints at some economic sunshine on the horizon. If so, this could mean our current slump might be following the standard script for recessionary periods. And if that's the case, then we could be in for some surprising improvements. Now, don't get me wrong. There are still plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the current market rally. After all, the aggressive rate hikes and tighter bank lending standards might eventually hit the brakes on consumer spending. But it's also possible that the huge amounts of monetary support could act as our economic safety net. For now, it seems we're stuck on a roller coaster ride of volatility, with no end in sight. And with decreased monetary support and an economy sagging under the weight of debt, future returns might not be as impressive as we'd like. But that's a story for another day.  After all, in the wild world of economics, you never know what's coming next.  Disclaimer:  The material in this document is for informational purposes based on our proprietary research.
