Promise Delivered
When we launched Breakthrough Tech Profits six months ago, we promised we would deliver exceptional profits in all market conditions. That’s because our central thesis is we profit, not from technology, but from the change technology brings. That change is constant, whether it’s from adding tech to a traditional business or from mergers affecting stock prices.
Consider …
Between May 26 (our first issue) and Nov. 11, the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index gained 3.6%. That’s not bad if you’re content with modest returns but pales compared to the big gains we booked this year.
For example, two months ago I closed out a position in Applied Optoelectronics, which I had opened just three months earlier for a profit of 138%. I also booked a 52% gain on a call option trade on Western Digital and a 50% profit on a put option bet on Symantec. Think about that for a moment. By using our proprietary stock-rating process, we earned more than 50% on two different stocks going in opposite directions simultaneously.
I’d like to brag more about my stock-picking expertise, except my colleague Joe Duarte blew me away with a 757% gain in just three weeks on a put option play on McKesson last month. He also booked a 44% gain on a call option a few months earlier by predicting exactly how McKesson’s share price would respond to the rapidly changing healthcare sector, nailing the timing perfectly. That’s nearly 800% of profit in about six months from two different directional bets on the same company.
Another colleague, Ben Shepherd, also accumulated several nice gains, including 26% in KEYW Holdings, 43% in Silicon Labs and 15% in less than a month on Organovo. Considering how volatile the market has been and how little net gain the indexes have produced, I think you’d agree these gains are exceptional.
But we’re not resting on our laurels, not by a long shot. The beauty of the tech sector is that it’s always delivering opportunities like these for investors who recognize them and have the courage to act. No matter who occupies the White House or what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates, people and businesses will always be willing to spend money on technology that improves their lives.
To that end, in this issue we have several more exciting recommendations, including a rewards company revolutionizing the way consumers and businesses transact points, and another firm changing higher education online. Plus, an options strategy bets on how “Trumpcare” will alter the healthcare sector.
