This Silver Bullet Could End Chip Shortages for Good

Although COVID-related supply chain issues made them worse, global semiconductor shortages have been a problem for years now.

The modern wonder that took its place featured the best of everything: An eight-burner gas/induction Viking range, an island big enough to land a small plane on, and enough storage to conceal 25 years' worth of accumulated utensils, china, and gadgets. The new fridge would be a Thermador almost big enough to swallow the stainless steel Subzero that came before it, and it too was a marvel of modern engineering. One of the neatest features was an automatically opening main door, which was electronically triggered to assist the user, as the refrigerator’s internal vacuum suction is too strong for many people to open on their own — my aging mom included, even if she pulled against it with all her weight. Construction on the kitchen began in November 2021. By May of 2022, it was complete — with one major exception: the fridge.  Waiting to Catch the Next Bull Market? What if I told you there was [a reliable way]( you could pinpoint the next bull market? You see, for the past 50 years, technology has carried even bear markets into epic bull runs. But today’s tech has gone far too stale to save the market this time... And Big Tech is no longer a reliable indicator of a coming bull run. Now, this new strategy I’m ready to tell you about involves one key figure that the Federal Reserve cares about most... And by tracking it, we’ll know the exact moment the market will enter a new bull run. [Let me show you how you can also use this strategy to make a killing in this market.]( Last Time We Waited This Long for an Appliance, We Were Living in the USSR It wasn't until last week that the Thermador was finally delivered… almost 15 months after it was ordered. The problem, as you may have surmised, was COVID-related supply chain issues. Those supply chain issues, when it came to electronic appliances, stemmed primarily from the global microchip shortage — one of the biggest effects of the COVID pandemic and resulting lockdowns. But the truth is COVID only made an already growing problem that much worse. Chip shortages have been a problem for years now, and the primary cause is much more boring than a global pandemic. You see, demand for chips in the age of autonomous cars, universal smartphone ownership, and rapidly improving quality of life in some of the world’s fastest-growing economies has been on the rise for most of the last decade. These days, the volume of chips necessary just to keep our consumption patterns stable is simply staggering. Between 2011 and 2021, the global semiconductor market grew by more than 100%, from $299 billion to $613 billion, but this is only the very beginning. Right now, demand is growing faster than ever. Microchip Industry at a Crossroads Just as a quick illustration, global semiconductor sales were 18% higher in 1Q21 than in 1Q20, 29% higher in 2Q21 than in 2Q20, and 28% higher in 3Q21 than in 3Q20. Lead times right now are running between 40 and 50 months, making the 15 months my mom had to wait for her new fridge barely a blip on the radar as far as inconveniences go. With the electric vehicle market set to eat up the transportation market by the middle of the next decade, we could easily see another quadrupling of the overall market within that same time frame. Turn the Global Chip Crisis to Your Benefit TODAY The microchip shortage is causing industries to lose hundreds of billions of dollars... And it’s impacting YOU financially. The prices of everyday tech products like laptops, phones, printers, and graphics cards are as much as $350 more expensive. It’s absolutely ridiculous... But there is a silver lining. Because [I’ve uncovered a TINY, virtually unheard-of company...]( Which is at the very CENTER of America’s initiative to solve this crisis. Investors who get in on the ground floor today could rake in gains as high as 9,737%... Which turns every $2,500 invested into $245,925! [Get all the details now.]( Needless to say, some of the world’s biggest chipmakers, as well as the biggest chip consumers, are scrambling to figure out a way to make better products faster and cheaper. One of the most radical but also potentially most promising solutions now being eyed by Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese consumer tech producers is graphene. Discovered at the beginning of the century and still an experimental material 10 years later when it won its researchers the Nobel Prize in 2010, graphene is what’s referred to as a "nanostructure." The 21st Century's Most Important "Wonder Material" It’s one atom thick and nearly transparent, yet more than 200 times as strong as steel. An acre of it weighs less than a gram. It’s a miraculous conductor of electricity and the best thermal conductor known to man. It can be made to exacting specifications, and with the proper manipulation, it could replace silicon to become the chief building block of tomorrow’s microchips. [graphene] There was, however, one problem… Price. Graphene has always been prohibitively expensive — more than $3,000 per ounce to produce, to be exact, making it almost twice the price of gold. That’s obviously far too costly to ever supply anything as ravenous as the consumer tech market. For it to ever be anything more than an engineering novelty, there would have to be an equally radical cost-cutting solution. Biden’s Spending “Blitz” Set to Launch $5 EV Firm Over $9 billion in federal cash is set to rain down on one overlooked sector of the EV market... And this flood of government capital could send one $5 stock soaring in short order. This could be the biggest EV story of our lifetime. [Learn about the shocking EV company nobody’s talking about.]( The Final Piece of the Puzzle Right now, a small high-tech materials firm in the northeastern Australian state of Queensland is using just such a method to create the world’s best and most cost-efficient graphene. Using nothing more than natural gas and electricity, this Brisbane-based company is making graphene for orders of magnitude cheaper than it was just a few years ago. Some of its first products include a line of next-generation rechargeable batteries that boast properties just as otherworldly as graphene itself. These batteries will have 3–5 times the service life of comparable lithium batteries, offer more than twice the charge capacity, and, most impressive of all, charge at up to 70 times the speed. Just imagine charging your dead iPhone to 100% in less than a minute… or charging your Tesla to capacity faster than it took you to pump a full tank of gas at the filling station. These batteries are already on their way to potential commercial partners for testing and evaluation, and if things go as planned, they could single-handedly pull the rug out from under the global Li-ion battery market. And that’s just one application of the wonder material. The Chinese Won't Be Able to Touch This The company behind all this has the potential to become one of the biggest players out there in the graphene market, but right now barely anybody even knows its name. Its stock — already public — trades on two North American exchanges for less than USD$3, giving the company a market capitalization of a measly USD$150 million. To put things into perspective, that’s less than 1/1,000th the size of the lithium battery market… yet its product is powerful enough to torpedo some of the biggest players in the game in just a few short years. If you can’t tell yet, I’m pretty excited about this company. I’ve been following it for a while, but as the story gained traction, I decided to make a video presentation to get all my readers up to date on it as efficiently as possible. That video will give you all the details about the tech, the company, the stock, and the prospects for the years to come. [It’s available right here](, no charge and no registration required, so I urge you to take advantage ASAP. Or you can choose to wait until the story starts appearing in Forbes or The Wall Street Journal. By then, of course, we could be looking at a $15 stock with a billion-dollar valuation. The info is free, but the potential benefits are priceless. [Enter here for immediate access.]( Fortune favors the bold, [alex koyfman Signature] Alex Koyfman [[follow basic]Check us out on YouTube!]( His flagship service, Microcap Insider, provides market-beating insights into some of the fastest moving, highest profit-potential companies available for public trading on the U.S. and Canadian exchanges.
