Straight-up A-Team, Hannibal Lecter style: “I love it when a plan comes together!” Ever since the early days of the pandemic, I’ve been telling you to buy every dip in chip stocks. Why? Because every tech trend for the foreseeable future requires more chips. Therefore, it was 99.99% guaranteed chip demand would rebound. ASAP! And now we have final definitive proof. (click image to enlarge) Per IC Insights, total chip shipments are expected to rise 13% in 2021 to a new record of 1.1353 trillion units. Forget this being the third time in history that chip demand topped the “Big T” unit mark. What’s most notable is the acceleration in growth. Last year, chip shipments only rose 3%. So — you guessed it — keep buying every dip in chip stocks. And yes, Atomera Inc. (ATOM) remains my favorite way to profit from this trend. The Best Defense Against Cyber Crimes Last year, I dubbed Cybersecurity my “[Trend Trade of the Decade](.” While countless companies work diligently to stay ahead of the latest hacking schemes, this chart reveals a scary reality. (click image to enlarge) We’re our own worst enemies — and therefore, our own best protectors. That’s right. As you can see, the majority of cybercrimes aren’t focused on big networks; they’re focused on people like us. According to FBI stats, the most common form of cybercrime involves “phishing, vishing, and smishing” attacks. Come again, you say? If you don’t know what those attacks are, it means you’re all the more vulnerable. You can get up to speed on the differences [here](. But here’s the key: all three involve a simple email, voice, or text message that prompts you to voluntarily give up your personal information. As they say, you can’t fix stupid. Not even with software from top cybersecurity firms. So don’t be stupid! Keep your personal information private… and keep buying cybersecurity stocks. Sentiment Matters For decades, academics insisted nothing but fundamentals and financials mattered in the market. They completely ignored investor psychology. But an awakening occurred, and the efficient-market hypothesis got dethroned, as the field of behavioral finance emerged. Why bring any of this up? Because sentiment and psychology matter! Extreme measures of sentiment typically foreshadow turning points. Newsflash: Enthusiasm is running rampant. Take a look at the latest AAII bullish sentiment reading. (click image to enlarge) As Bespoke Investment Group reports, “Bullish sentiment surged by the most since November to 56.90%. The last time this reading was higher was way back in early 2018.” Always a contrarian at heart, whenever I see enthusiasm this overstretched, I keep some cash handy. Why? Because a pullback — and by that I mean a healthy one, not a bone-crushing one — is typically around the corner. So keep your friends close, your enemies closer… and your cash closet! We could be in store for another great dip-buying opportunity like we saw for chip stocks throughout the last year. If one materializes, rest assured I’ll let you know the best investments to buy. That’s it for this week! Now hit reply and let me know one thing I wrote about that you completely disagree with me on. And next week, I’ll dig into the research to do my best to prove you wrong… or change my mind based on my findings. Ahead of the tape, [Lou Basenese] Lou Basenese P.S. I’ve been perfecting my “marked” stocks system for over 15 years… It’s the only system I know that can help you take advantage of huge SINGLE-DAY stock moves. And very soon, I’ll be unveiling it to the public. But BEFORE everyone else gets on board… First I want YOU to lock in early-bird access. And I’m giving you the chance to do just that until Monday at midnight. [Click here now to see what’s going on »]( [Terms & Privacy](| [Unsubscribe]( 301 S.
