How to Profit From the Next Great Bull Market

Forbes Unveils A Strategy To Profit
From The Next Great Bull Market

Dow 99,000 is Coming
The Time to Get in is Now

Dear Fellow Investor,

Every investor knows the pandemic unleashed a ferocious bear market but it effectively ended as soon as it began in mid-March, when the Federal Reserve intervened, signaling ever since that it will do whatever it takes to support stocks. The central bank's decisive action reset the economic cycle and set the table for another long bull market. It's just getting started.

People say what the Fed did in March was “unprecedented.” Jon D. Markman knows that's far from the case. Jon has made tremendous profits from studying the markets intently. He realizes that the Fed has intervened in similar ways multiple times in the past 80 years. Every time the Fed has taken action like it did last year, the market has advanced 500% in the years that followed.

Sound too good to be true? Consider the last time the Fed rode to the rescue – during the 2009 financial crisis. From that time until the market's peak in February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly five-fold, the S&P 500 gained nearly 500% on the nose and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite notched more than 600% in gains. Jon publicly called those targets a decade ago. Look back to 1982, the previous time the Fed leaped in to protect and prod the market forward – the very same percentage advances were seen. Ditto the end of 1940s.

That's why Wall Street's best minds are all-in with the stock market again. Most investors aren't convinced, though, expecting the recent advances to be a mirage. Yet there will come a day some five years or so from right now when people look back and see early 2021 as a tremendous buying opportunity. When the Dow hits 99,000, the S&P 500 reaches 11,000 and the Nasdaq surges to 33,000, I want you to look back and be proud you took action today.

That's why I'm offering you a chance to join Forbes and Fast Forward Investing with Jon as your guide to the stocks that will lead the great advances to come, creating transformational wealth for readers.

Tech's Next Surge

As a Forbes reader, you know the road to huge profits in the market isn't simple. You have to unearth the sectors that will be the ones to really capitalize on the wave of Fed support. You want strategic decisions to get into the winning companies. That's why we teamed with Jon. He sees that there is another tech boom occurring… a much bigger trend than what propelled the FAANG stocks to the stratosphere. And it will be supercharged by the Federal Reserve's actions.

Artificial Intelligence, immortal machines, cloud, machine learning, electric vehicles, digital twins, Internet of Things, blockchain, additive manufacturing, UAV, nano.

Chances are if you're an alert investor, you're aware of at least a couple of these transformational technologies.

We are on the cusp of an even greater technology boom driven by trends and technologies transforming the fundamental way corporations compete, how products are developed, how medical science saves lives and even how nations vie for supremacy.

This new tech boom isn't announcing itself with a flurry of “dotcom” names or yet another overhyped streaming video effort. It's below the surface, involving many stocks only an elite cadre of investors are aware of. They are getting very wealthy from this trend.

Life-Saving Advances

Consider this: in 2019, officials in Baltimore loaded a donor kidney onto a drone and flew it to a hospital. Within hours it was transplanted into a 44-year-old mother of three who had been on dialysis for eight years. By 2024, drone organ deliveries like this will be commonplace.

Why? More than 6% of transplants today are cancelled or dangerously delayed up to 12 hours because of commercial flight problems and traffic accidents.

Mission-critical drones are being made possible by a massive corporate and governmental effort to develop a national unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) traffic control system at test sites in Nevada, New York and Virginia. The system is just about ready. Soon we will see everything from urgent package deliveries to essential but dangerous powerline inspections done by UAVs. According to McKinsey & Co., in the next six years the market for commercial drones and their software will grow to $46 billion, a 4,500% surge from today!

Striking Gold With Data

Or consider this: Each day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created. There are 40 times more bytes of data stored on computers than there are stars in the universe. But it's one thing to create it, it's another to use it. As a unique application of artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) is swiftly becoming the gold standard for companies to meld their data hoard into profits.

In recent months, financial services companies have been rushing to integrate ML into their operations because it's been discovered that by using literally thousands of data points on people applying for credit cards, car loans and mortgages they can raise revenue upwards of 35% without increasing bad loans. ML “sees” connections among wildly different pieces of information that reveal people with the same credit score vary a lot in their likelihood to pay a loan. Even many people without credit scores are identified as good borrowers. That's revolutionary for banks since 40% of American adults don't have a credit card or a credit score traditionally deemed creditworthy. ML for loans is just one sliver of the potential companies will unlock.

Gartner Group projects $2.6 trillion in value will be created by ML and related technologies in coming years.

A Cascade of Competitive Advantages

Or how about this? Digital twins are computer models so exceptionally detailed they predict how individual pieces of physical equipment will operate. Transcontinental train operators have digital twins of every single locomotive and car beaming instructions to trains to optimize fuel and speed. Data from the physical train is then fed back to its digital twin to refine the model's predictiveness for the future. In just the past three years, digital twins have saved railroads $1 billion in costs! If 150-year-old businesses can find that much money, imagine how much more can be generated in other industries! You can be sure forward-thinking executives are. 

Demand for digital twins is expected to grow 900% in the next few years, to $36 billion!

These new technologies will have a cascading effect. Digital twins naturally lead to immortal machines. That's equipment – be it jet engines to network servers to hydroelectric dams – that are so well modelled its parts are predictively replaced at just the right time, minimizing downtime and effectively allowing a machine to operate forever. Companies plan to supply their immortal machines with additive manufacturing hubs. That's industrial-scale 3-D printing. Push a button in Kansas and a customer in Kenya gets a part printed on-site. No service delays, no logistics snafus, no tariffs to pay.

The New Gilded Age

If you're like me, you've been spending more time at home and focusing on your personal health and well-being more than ever before. Everyone is. That's been providing a fresh kick for companies like Amazon, propelling shares onward to new heights. You know Amazon, of course. You also probably have heard people say they missed the boat on the stock – it's already a trillion-dollar company. I said this to Jon myself and he stopped me mid-sentence: Amazon is going from a $1 trillion company to a $10 trillion, he said, thanks to the combination of technological innovation and the Federal Reserve's determination to support the stock market. It doesn't really matter when you get in on a stock, Jon explained – just go ahead and understand this trend is happening and take advantage of it.

It's that sort of big-picture view coupled with his deep experience in identifying great tech stocks that Forbes enlisted Jon for our Fast Forward Investing advisory. We wanted a visionary guide to the next tech wave. The gains for early investors will be stunning.

The Power of Transformational Technology

You may have heard of Jon Markman. He's a hedge fund veteran, Forbes columnist and a successful investment advisor. He's best known as a tech visionary who has authored half a dozen best-selling books. Most recently, he penned the best-seller Fast Forward Investing: How to profit from artificial intelligence, robotics and other technologies reshaping our lives.

The trends he sees are poised at a singular point where investors can hop on and start collecting profits.

One of the most exciting trends where Fast Forward Investing sees astounding profits to be made is in the way tech transforms traditional businesses. These are established firms that previously measured competitive gains in small increments – better sourcing here, improved cost control there. The new tech boom means no half measures: it is going to roil the competitive landscape for traditional businesses. The companies taking advantage of new technologies will suddenly find themselves running twice as fast as the competitors who opted for business-as-usual.

Fast Forward Investing already has stocks benefiting from this in its roster right now!

The Forbes Advantage

As a Forbes reader, you're well aware that technology not only improves lives, it creates huge fortunes as well. A simple glance at the top of the Forbes 400 list tells you eight of America's nine largest fortunes have been created through technology, including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and the Google guys. Microsoft has returned more than 238,000%, Amazon 160,000%, Google almost 4,000%. Fast Forward Investing can help you find the next series of big winners.

Jon's experience in his three-decade-plus career gives him a holistic view of the tech life cycle and what gets a good idea to leap to be a profitable one. He is co-inventor of two patents held by Microsoft. He was portfolio manager and senior investment strategist at a statistical arbitrage (stat-arb) hedge fund. He was managing editor and columnist at CNBC on MSN Money during the late 1990s tech boom. He is also an award-winning investing columnist and writes on tech intelligence for Forbes. He's been advising investors like you for more than a decade on when to buy into the market and when to book profits, and has been explaining the trends and macroeconomic forces that batters uninformed investors like the rough surf at the seashore.

All that means Jon brings Forbes and Fast Forward Investing subscribers a unique combination of top-flight insight into making profits with a read that is insightful and wise.

Seeing Around Corners

When most investors were panicking about Covid-19, Jon kept his head and looked for opportunity. When the Fed intervened, he saw it was momentous. Here's what Jon told Fast Forward Investing subscribers on March 15:

Over the weekend, the Federal Reserve took an incredible, mind-blowing series of steps to help save the world with some innovative and studly efforts in monetary policy. It looked like the financial equivalent of football's desperation “hail Mary” pass… once the smoke clears historians will say that Chairman Powell did his part to boost the Fed's standing and make a difference in the battle to ward off total financial catastrophe.

The next trading day, Jon recommended buying Peloton, the home fitness brand that has found the secret to selling consumers premium-priced, well-made equipment and keeping them motivated to use it and subscribe to video classes. The Fast Forward Investing portfolio bought Peloton at $19.72. Eleven months later, as I write this, shares have reached $122.72 a 522% gain¹!

The same day he also recommended Zoom Video Communications. There are plenty of video meeting services, but he saw Zoom's simplicity and first-mover status as a crucial edge. Jon and subscribers bought at $107.47 and have profited from a 258% gain¹ already.

Then in April, Jon evaluated the world of online advertising and found a gem of a company that more than holds its own with Google and Facebook in the business of placing Internet ads – The Trade Desk. He recommended buying at $225. Shares have increased three fold and trade near $781, a 247% gain¹ in ten months.

I could go on and on – Jon recommended another 18 stocks in 2020 that have gained double digits – names like Teledoc, Service Now, Danaher. Every selection is a great building block to building a profitable investment portfolio for the long haul.

Making Better Decisions

Fast Forward Investing also operates with an inside secret to which all the best investors adhere: take profits and preserve capital when the market is telling you to. Getting into stocks and getting back out in sync with the market's tides is the best way to trade.

Take, for example, Jon's calls on a company that started making powerful computer chips for video games that is now in the forefront of chipsets that handle complex AI operations. On August 30, 2018, he detailed for subscribers his thoughts on a tussle by Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg over AI's future. He didn't recommend either Tesla or Facebook that day, but a different, less-heralded riser. He wrote:  

Jon's recommendation that day: buy. Shares gained $75 a piece over the next year, when, as the stock price was peaking, he gave subscribers an unexpected piece of advice: sell. Subscribers booked a long-term 45% profit. Literally one day later, Nvidia shares began tumbling and within a month they had lost $90. This approach doesn't mean you're churning your portfolio. If a stock is a winner, Jon sticks with it and lets you pile on the profits.

What is Fast Forward Investing discussing lately? What's exceptional about Jon and the Fast Forward Investing approach is that it isn't just recommending pure play tech stocks rain or shine – it's adaptive. Markman's stock recommendations are for subscribers only, but here is some insightful commentary on a health care tech play, from late October:  

Smart Strategies

Jon saw the market's big move downward in March as a buying opportunity. The average return of the more than two dozen stocks he purchased for the portfolio since March 15 have an average return of 75.7%—far outperforming the S&P 500's return of 44.8% and the Dow's 40.3% return over the same time period¹.
