| I’m in America’s Most Expensive ZIP Code… And I’m Going to Show You the Secret Behind Why These Folks Keep Getting Richer… While So Many Are Falling Behind Hi, my name is Eric Fry, and I want to take you on a little road trip. My film crew and I are in a town called Atherton. We’re about to drive into this exclusive neighborhood behind me. Now: Very few Americans know this, but this town repeatedly ranks as the most expensive ZIP code in all America. OK, here we go… House This house here has seven bedrooms and sits on a one-acre lot. It sold not too long ago for just under $19 million. But it gets even better… House The house right next to it, with five bedrooms and nine bathrooms is listed for sale today for $32 million! It’s gone up in price by more than $9 million from when it sold two years ago… and it’s gone up $20 million from when it sold five years ago! The property taxes alone, at the old price, are a whopping $253,000 per year. And, incredibly, that $32 million house I just showed you is not even the most expensive home in the neighborhood… There’s another for sale for more than 40 million bucks. And that’s only the beginning of the story… What’s fascinating is that this neighborhood is just the tip of the iceberg… Here’s what I mean… The third most expensive ZIP code in America is located less than five miles from here… So is the fourth most expensive ZIP code… that’s is just a few miles farther. In fact, seven of the 12 most expensive ZIP codes in all of America are all located right here—within a roughly 20-mile radius. And keep in mind: I’m not in Beverly Hills… Manhattan… Palm Beach, or any other place you might expect. I’m not near the ocean, or even next to a golf course. In fact, if you don’t live here, you’ve probably never even heard of Atherton. So why is it so expensive, filled with so many wealthy people? Well, because this place holds a powerful secret for building and accumulating wealth in America right now—and the average American doesn’t have a clue about what’s happening. I’ve used this secret personally to make millions. And I’m going to show you how to take advantage of it too, very soon … and with amazing results. That’s why I filmed this exposé. You see, I decided to finally put everything I’ve learned on film because I’ve become increasingly frustrated watching the endless debates about the huge and growing wealth gap in America. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this is probably the most politicized and contentious topic of the day: Today in America, the gap between the rich and everyone else is bigger than we’ve seen in roughly 100 years. Never, ever, have we seen the wealth gap accelerate like we’re seeing today. And that’s the incredible part. We’re here today in Atherton, the richest ZIP code in America… But a short drive from this wealthy enclave is this school, called Costaño Elementary… A news report from not long ago indicates that 63% of the roughly 500 kids that go to school here are homeless. They don’t go home to a $6 million house or any house at all. Instead, they live in trucks and campers, along abandoned industrial roads. There are few places in America where the wealth gap is as dramatic as this—$40 million homes, not far from $1,000 trailers, parked on rugged industrial streets. But again… no one REALLY understands WHY this is happening. Folks on the left think it’s the result of capitalism’s failures. They argue for socialist solutions like higher minimum wage, Universal Basic Income, much higher taxes, healthcare for all… even slavery reparations. While many folks on the right are equally confused… They say the economy fails to produce widespread prosperity because the government is more obsessed with redistributing wealth than nurturing it. They point to excessive regulation, misguided subsidies, and punitive taxes, which they argue hobbles economic growth. Now look, I’m sorry… but the reality is: ALL of these explanations are absolutely, 100% dead wrong. The truth is: NONE of these issues gets at the real root cause of the huge wealth gap that now exists in America, which is getting bigger (and will continue to get bigger) every single day. So today, I’m going to share with you the REAL reason why this is all happening. That’s why I’m here in Atherton. I’m stepping forward for the first time to share a secret no politician is ever going to explain to you. It’s critically important that you get these facts now. Because, as one of my wealthy friends said recently: It’s as if a giant drawbridge is dividing our country in half. On one side are the rich—who fully understand what’s happening and are taking full advantage of the situation. On the other side… well… that’s everyone else. And no matter how hard they work or what they do… they just continue to fall further behind. This proverbial drawbridge is rising. The gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” is widening. And it’s going to widen even more in the coming years. So if you hope to survive and prosper in America in the years to come, you need to understand what’s going on, why it’s happening, and most importantly, what you can do about it. Today I’m going to show you three specific steps you should take. The truth is, the choice is up to you. You can grow your wealth dramatically in the years to come… or you can risk enormous losses. And although I typically charge a lot of money for this type of insight and analysis (I worked for a billionaire who was one of the richest men in America) today I’m going to outline everything for you, totally free of charge. Look… we don’t need socialism in America. We don’t need 90% wealth taxes or Universal Basic Income. What we need is for more people to have a better understanding of what’s happening in our economy, so fewer folks are left behind. I promise you this: The more people who understand what’s going on, the better for us all. So stick with me for a few minutes, and get the facts for yourself. I’ll explain the REAL REASON the wealth gap is bigger today than ever before… and also the specific steps you should take immediately. YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT CHOICE TO MAKE RIGHT NOW Like I said, my name is Eric Fry. And there’s no doubt, I’m one of the lucky ones. I grew up in Pasadena, near the Rose Bowl in California. My parents were both hardworking professionals. My dad was a doctor and my mom a lawyer. But even from a young age, I had an independent streak. I told my parents I wanted to pay my own way through UCLA, so I worked my butt off at restaurants in West Los Angeles, and found the cheapest accommodations possible, including a converted chicken coop, for which I paid just $150 a month. After school, I spent many years in the money centers of the Western world: San Francisco, Manhattan, and Monte Carlo, working as a broker, entrepreneur, analyst, and hedge fund manager. Over the years, I’ve made extraordinary amounts of money, and have helped give many others the chance to do the same. I’ve found more than 40 opportunities, for example, where folks could have made 1,000% gains in recent years… and nearly 20 other opportunities where folks could have made 500% gains or more. I’ll put this track record up against anyone, on or off Wall Street. Many of my friends and folks I work with have become multimillionaires in recent years. But at the same time, I’ve also seen the homeless population soar near my hometown. Now I’ve gotten to know many of these guys on a first-name basis, and their stories are heartbreaking. What’s so shocking to me is how institutionalized this has all become. These guys all have food stamps. They all have a cell phone and Medi-Cal. But they’re still sleeping in the streets every night. I’ve also seen many of my really smart and hardworking friends and family members battle drug addiction, long bouts of unemployment… and crushing debt. It’s just shocking to me that today, in the greatest country on earth, nearly 60% of the population does not even have $1,000 in savings. That’s the reason why I put together this video. It’s the reason I’m in Atherton—a place that repeatedly shows up as the wealthiest ZIP code in America. You see, right now… we are in the midst of a rare, seminal moment in our nation’s history. Some people are going to make enormous amounts of money in the next few years. Others are at risk of losing everything. Believe it or not, you actually have the ability to choose which side you’ll be on. Here’s what I mean… Can You Really Make a Billion Dollars in Just 2 Years? I’m sure you’ve noticed in recent years… There’s been a tremendous shift taking place in every sector of our economy. You’ve certainly seen the evidence firsthand… Amazon has taken over retail. Uber has taken over cabs. Apple and Spotify have taken over music. Netflix has taken over movies and TV. Google has taken over data. LinkedIn and others have taken over job search and hiring. Expedia and TripAdvisor have taken over the travel industry. The list goes on and on. What’s happening, in short, is that we are in the middle of moving from a paper-based analog world… to a digital, computer-powered society. For some, the transition has been devastating… Blockbuster, for example, was doing $6 billion in annual revenue in 2004… but by 2010, they’d declared bankruptcy. Look at this incredible chart… Netflix vs Blockbuster And remember taxi cabs? That industry was devasted by Uber. Look at this chart that shows how the value of owning a taxi medallion in Manhattan has plummeted… NYC Taxi Prices As Amazon and others have moved so much of our shopping online, traditional retail operations are being devastated, one after the other… In 2019 alone, an estimated 12,000 retail stores closed. You’ve probably heard about the closures at Sears, JCPenney, Kmart, Best Buy, and Macy’s. But there are many more. 390 Family Dollar stores were set to close in 2019… 650 DressBarn stores are set to close over the same period… 2,100 Payless ShoeSource stores will also close. The Gap is also shutting down 230 stores, Walgreens is shutting down 200 stores, and even Walmart is shutting down 17 stores. Tens of thousands of people are losing their jobs as a result. Investment bank UBS estimates that another 75,000 retail stores across America could be lost by 2026. Meanwhile, the money that’s been made by those who have capitalized on this trend has been remarkable… Jeff Bezos, of Amazon, is now richer than Warren Buffett. The “cloud computing” kings at Salesforce just built the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Facebook shareholders have enjoyed a roughly 1,000% return on their investment since mid-2012. Facebook chart Tesla investors have made over 1,100% over approximately the same time. Tesla chart Early Google investors are up more than 25 times their original investment. Google chart In the past three years alone, more than 120 technology companies have soared by 100% or more. And there’s a secret behind all of this, which very few Americans understand. When you learn this secret, you’ll see why what has happened in recent years is nothing compared to what’s coming next. The destruction of certain industries is only going to get worse. Much worse. While the money being made by a select few is only going to be more dramatic. Some folks—and my hope is that you will be among them—are going to make more money, more quickly, than ever before. The wealth gap is only going to get bigger… much, much bigger. Here’s why… The Law of Accelerating Returns What only a small percentage of the American population understands, is that the key ingredients of our modern, digitized, and computerized world are exploding in power and speed. This is changing our world at ever-increasing rates, and in ways most people can’t even comprehend right now. And it all boils down to something called: “The Law of Accelerating Returns.” The term was first coined by Ray Kurzweil, the most famous “futurist” and tech expert in America. Kurzweil worked as the director of engineering at Google… and won our country’s top technology award (the National Medal of Technology and Innovation). Time magazine named Kurzweil one of the “16 revolutionaries who made America.” Inc. magazine called him, “Edison’s rightful heir.” The concept behind the Law of Accelerating Returns is a bit complex… but it’s worth taking a few minutes to understand, because this simple concept… Explains why some companies are growing so quickly, and making so much money so fast, compared to how long it took years ago. Explains why so many well-known companies will collapse and even go bankrupt in the next few years. Explains why the wealth gap in America is so big… why it’s getting bigger… and why it will get even bigger still in the years to come. And most importantly: This simple concept provides you with a roadmap for how YOU can make a lot of money, and avoid major losses, in the very near future. Here’s how it works… As Kurzweil explains, technology does not progress does in a linear, step-by-step manner… Instead, the speed of progress… and the speed at which people adopt new technologies… actually accelerates (dramatically) over the years. In other words, technology progresses “exponentially.” I know that’s a little bit confusing, so let me show you an example… You’ve probably heard of Moore’s Law. It’s an observation made in the late 1960s by Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel. Moore said the number of transistors we could fit on a microchip would double every two years, which would rapidly boost computer power. Few people believed Moore, but he was exactly right, as you can see from the chart below… Moore's Law Applied to Intel Processors Now, here’s the critical point you must understand… Looking at this curve, you can see how the rate of technological progress actually got faster, every year. Think about it this way… Imagine if in year one, you could put just one transistor on a chip. Then in year three you could put two transistors on a chip… and in year five, you could fit four transistors on a chip. Remember, because of technological advances, we’re able to double the number of transistors on a chip, every two years. If you do the math, here’s what the data look like: Number of Transistors Do you see the dramatic effect of exponential growth? Between years one and three (a two-year stretch), the rate of progress added just one transistor per chip… But between years 28 and 30 (also a two-year stretch), the number of chips increased by 8,192! In other words: If it feels like technology is changing and advancing faster than ever, you’re right, it is… and in a dramatic way! When you draw a chart of “exponential growth,” the curve gets steeper and steeper. The rate of progress actually speeds up. Some call it an “S curve,” because it looks like this… S-Curve Here’s a great example of what exponential gains… and the Law of Accelerating Returns looks like… in the real world… In the year 2000, it cost $50 million to buy a computer that could perform one trillion operations per second. By 2016, you could buy a computer that performed eight times that many operations per second… for just $600. That’s over a million times improvement… in just 16 years! And remember, these technologies improve exponentially… so in just a few years, today’s computing power and technologies will look completely antiquated. Also, it’s not just recent technologies that progress exponentially… It’s all human technology and innovation, throughout recorded time… As Kurzweil says… The first technological steps in human history were sharp edges, fire, the wheel, etc. But these things took tens of thousands of years to develop. For people living in those ancient eras, there was little noticeable change. But by 1,000 A.D., technological progress was much faster—a technological paradigm shift required only a century or two. By the start of the 1800s, we saw more technological advances over the next century than in the nine centuries that preceded it! Today, technological paradigm shifts occur every few years… and the overall rate of technical progress is doubling approximately every decade. Think about it this way: In the 21st century we will see almost a thousand times the technological advances we saw in the previous century. The thing is, it’s really hard for us as humans, going about our daily lives, to grasp how fast these advances are occurring in the real world. We simply aren’t able to recognize and comprehend what is happening Think about the internet. When it first went from 20,000 nodes (which are the building blocks of the internet) to 80,000 nodes over a two-year period in the 1980s, nobody noticed. But a decade later, when it went from 20 million nodes to 80 million nodes, it became front-page news. Look at this chart—you can see here how the internet adaptation rate accelerated exponentially… Internet Adaptation Rate What’s interesting is that it’s not just the actual technology that increases exponentially in speed, power, and sophistication… but also the adoption of technology that increases exponentially. In other words, the rate at which people begin using new technologies increases exponentially too… Look at this chart… Adoption of New Technologies The adoption of new technologies always increases much faster than even the experts predict. If you find that hard to believe, don’t worry… so do most of the world’s so-called “experts.” Consider this remarkable story… In 1985, AT&T was the world’s biggest and most powerful telephone company. They hired the smart folks at McKinsey (the world’s leading consulting firm) to predict the adoption rate of a new technology called: the cellphone. Well, the folks at McKinsey said AT&T would have 900,000 cell phone customers by the year 2000. But guess what… They were off by more than a hundredfold… The actual number was 109 million cellphone customers! The point is, even the experts have a very hard time anticipating how quickly new technologies will be adopted and change our society. Like I said: If it feels like technology is changing and advancing faster than ever, you’re right, it is… and it’s only going to get faster! OK… so I know what you’re thinking… “What does all of this have to do with me?” The answer is simple: The exponential increase in the progress and adoption of new technologies (known as the Law of Accelerating Returns) is causing two massive changes in our society… #1. Making Money Faster Than Ever Before First, it means that today it takes less time than ever before to generate massive wealth. Over the last few decades, for example, it took, on average, about 20 years for the typical Fortune 500 company to reach a market capitalization of $1 billion. But then, in 1998, Google reached a $1 billion market value in just eight years. This was considered incredible and nearly impossible at the time. But this rate of growth and mass adoption is accelerating. By 2004, Facebook became a billion-dollar company in just five years. Then in 2009, Uber became a billion-dollar company in just three years. And in 2012, virtual reality firm Oculus did it in under two years. The chart below shows the amount of time it took for companies to hit a billion-dollar market cap. Market Cap to a Billion As you can see, it’s taking less and less time to generate incredible wealth, in large part because of the Law of Accelerating Returns. And investors are enjoying the benefits. Like I said, in just the past three years, more than 120 technology companies have returned 100% gains or more to investors. So the time it takes for people to accumulate massive wealth is getting “compressed.” New companies and new technologies can scale faster than ever before (making some people rich, more quickly, than ever before). Did you know, for example, that Barron’s estimates the number of millionaires created by Bitcoin (the internet’s new type of digital money), is somewhere between 20,000 and 200,000? And it all happened in just a few short years. Uber started in an apartment in 2009, not too far away from where I am today… and within just seven years, they were booking more rides than the entire U.S. taxi industry… combined! Think about that… The whole thing happened in just seven years… starting in an apartment building! Never before in human history has a technology created more wealth, more quickly, than this! But there’s a flipside to this equation… Increasing technological power and adoption also means companies can collapse faster than ever too. As Apple’s iPhone dominated the smartphone market, the losing competitor (Blackberry) saw its share price plummet more than 90% in a very short period of time. Apple vs BlackBerry Remember, I said the Law of Accelerating Returns causes two critical changes in our society. First, it enables companies to grow more quickly than ever before. But it also explains what is becoming a huge problem in our society… #2. More Money, Concentrated in Fewer Hands Former 2020 presidential hopeful Andrew Yang made headlines when he pointed out the top 1% of the U.S. population accrued 52% of the real income growth in America since 2009. But why is this happening? The answer is simple and obvious to anyone who understands what we’ve been talking about… Today, the acceleration of our technological progress allows companies to operate with just a fraction of the number of employees businesses used to require. In other words, wealth is being concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. Just consider these incredible numbers… Back in 1964, AT&T had more than 750,000 employees… But in 2017, Google was a bigger and far richer company than AT&T with 92% fewer employees sharing the wealth. Or look at the old-school company, Hilton Hotels… It has about 170,000 employees… which helped generate about $9 billion in revenue last year. That’s about $53,000 per employee. But I estimate tech upstart Airbnb generates five times more money per employee than Hilton! Soon, Airbnb will be making more money than Hilton Hotels… but will most likely do it with a 90% or more reduction in labor. In 2012, IBM had more than 400,000 employees… but today Microsoft has one-third that number of employees and makes about $50 billion more dollars per year. Plus, people who invested in Microsoft back in 2000 made about 10 times more in gains than those who invested in IBM. Back in 1989, Kodak had about 145,000 employees… Today Snapchat has just 1,800 employees. You get the point… The best new companies of today simply don’t need many people compared to companies from a decade or two ago—so the number of great jobs is decreasing while the pay for these employees who do get jobs is radically soaring! This is why the wealth gap gets wider and wider every single year. This is why the town of Atherton, which is located in the heart of America’s technology hub, Silicon Valley, is the most expensive ZIP code in the nation. It’s become an exclusive enclave for folks who have made vast fortunes in the technology space. Again, businesses are making money faster than ever… and it’s being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. And it’s happening everywhere, in every industry… Even in “boring” industries like banking… You’ve probably never heard of a company called Annaly. It has just 170 employees and has used innovative technologies in modern finance to generate about $13 million in revenue per employee! That means Annaly generates about 25 times as much money per employee as Bank of America. But again, most Americans are completely missing out on how this is all unfolding. This is why I’m here in what often tops the list of the wealthiest ZIP code in America, 94027, located near the heart of America’s technological center, in Silicon Valley. I’m going to make sure you are on the right side of this trend. It’s actually a lot easier than you might think… I Bet You’ve Never Heard of Any of These Moneymakers Before… One of the most important things you have to remember about the Law of Accelerating Returns… and the growing wealth gap… is that disruptions ALWAYS happen from the outside. What I mean by that is, it’s NEVER the big, established companies that disrupt entire industries, and make people rich, in a very short amount of time. Neither Motorola nor Nokia developed the smartphone—but they could have. Netflix wasn’t invented by Blockbuster… but it could have been. Amazon wasn’t invented by Barnes & Noble. TV networks did not come up with YouTube, Visa didn’t create PayPal, and hotel chains did not come up with Airbnb. Again: It’s ALWAYS the small “outsider companies” that disrupt the status quo, and make a small group of investors rich. You simply must learn how to get in on these ideas and the companies that are shaking up entire industries, if you want to capture the biggest gains in the market today. I can show you literally dozens of examples of how this is playing out in the real world. For example, have you heard of a company called Paycom? It automates a lot of human resource tasks for other companies, such as recruiting, payroll, etc. It eliminates HR jobs, cuts costs… and is making people rich. The company’s revenue went up nearly 300% between 2014 and 2018… and investors made more than 1,000% on the stock between roughly 2016 and today. Paycom chart Or how about a company called Paysign? It helps companies and even government agencies process payments quickly and easily. Since 2016, the company has been growing annual revenue by more than 50% each year… and investors have made more than 4,000% gains since the start of 2016. Paysign chart Oh… and get this, it has just 64 employees. Again—these companies grow faster than ever before, and because of technological advances, they don’t need many employees to do it. This is why disruptive tech firms are transforming entire industries, practically overnight, and making investors rich: A company called Trade Desk automates how companies place ads online… It’s up more than 1,200% in the past three years. Okta is an internet cloud security firm, which helps businesses keep their data safe and private. It’s been growing about 55% a year for the past three years, and investors have made more than 650% over that timeframe. Alteryx is a company that helps other businesses analyze their data and better understand their customers. It’s the best at what it does in this space… It’s been growing about 66% a year…. And investors have made nearly 700% gains since 2015. RingCentral is a tech business that is revolutionizing the ways companies use telephones, for customer service, conference calls, meetings, and more. It is growing more than 34% a year and investors have made about 700% in the past three years. Atlassian is a company that makes software to help employees collaborate online, on various projects. In my company, we’ve used Atlassian and some of the other companies mentioned here… Anyone who’s owned Atlassian over the past four years has made about six times his or her money. The list goes on, and on, and on. Odds are, most Americans have never heard of any of these companies, but they are revolutionizing the way we use technology… they are growing incredibly fast… and they are making people rich. At the same time, they are eliminating thousands of jobs… and are widening the wealth gap in America today. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you or I can do about this trend, even if we wanted to. All we can do is to make sure we’re on the right side of it. And don’t worry, you haven’t missed out. The good news is that there are a dozen or more of these fast-growing tech firms emerging every year. With all the incredible advances in 5G, data analytics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cryptocurrencies, virtual reality, financial technology (fintech), blockchain, the Internet of Things, and energy storage, it's 100% guaranteed that there will continually be massive opportunities every year… for many years come. There is no doubt in my mind: The next few years will be the greatest period ever to be a technology investor. There will be more disruption in the next 20 years than in the previous 80 years combined. And with all that disruption comes incredible opportunity. I promise you: This is most important moneymaking trend in the world today—and if you miss out, you are going to miss nearly all the biggest gains. And… the longer you wait to get in on it, the less money you’re going to make… and the further you’re going to fall behind. Let me show you just a few of the investments that are critical for you to learn about and get in on today… Watch This—It’s the Next Evolution in Online Shopping One of the biggest trends in the world today is retail automation. In other words: The process of automating how products you buy online get to your front door. This is Amazon’s specialty, of course, but there are lots of other companies that are way more advanced than Amazon that are transforming entire industries. They use an automated process involving software, robotics, and other logistical technologies, to get products delivered directly to your home, without much human involvement. And these companies are going to radically change the way we shop over the next few years. For example, there’s a company that’s a world leader in online-only grocery shopping. No, not the “pay and pick up” program you see at places like Whole Foods, Target, and your local grocery store. This is something radically different. It has more than 60 technology patents already granted, has applied for 100 more patents last year… and has built the most advanced automated robotic shopping system on the planet. Its technology can track your grocery order, and get it ready for delivery with almost no human effort. The company’s robotic warehouses look nothing like anything you’ve ever seen. It’s amazing, and it’s the future of grocery shopping! Robotic Warehouse And get this: This revolutionary tech company just signed a deal with largest grocery store chain in the U.S. and the largest grocery store chain in the world. Over the next two to three years, it is going to revolutionize how groceries get to your home. The first of its 20 new high-tech grocery delivery warehouses will open soon, in Ohio. This company already has more than 700,000 customers worldwide, and I project they will soon have 10 or 20 or even 100 times that amount. Hardly any regular investors know about this company today—but in a few years, it will be a household name. Today you can get in on the ground floor—and make a fortune as this inevitable trend plays out. It’s still very early… In the U.S., only about 10% of grocery shopping is done online. These numbers are going to double in the next year or so… then double again… and again. Of course, this trend involves more than just groceries… Eventually, this company will transform all of retail shopping. It is already working with pet supply stores… home stores… and beauty/makeup retailers. Yes, this disruptive technology company is going to contribute to the widening wealth gap in America. But there’s absolutely nothing you or I can do about this trend except to embrace it. It is inevitable. It is the future. And all you can do is either be on the right side or wrong side of this trend. The choice is up to you. Here’s another investment you should take advantage of right now… Here’s How to Get Really Rich in the Next Few Years It’s no secret that one of the great innovations of our lifetimes is going to be self-driving cars and trucks. Sure… rolling out all these vehicles will take a few years. But remember, just like the cellphone example I told you about earlier, the experts ALWAYS overestimate how long a technology trend like this will take. And the simple truth is: The money to be made on this inevitable trend starts now! But don’t just take my word for it… Jeff Bezos of Amazon just placed an order for 100,000 vans that will ultimately drive themselves. Waymo (Google’s driverless car unit) just ordered 62,000 driverless minivans from Fiat Chrysler. The company Aptiv has teamed up with Lyft to log 50,000 successful autonomous taxi rides in Las Vegas. BMW plans to have a self-driving car on the road by 2021. There are literally trillions of investment dollars pouring into this trend. But most people don’t know that there’s one best way, by far, to play it. You see, there’s a technology company most Americans have never heard of, which has successfully logged more than 1 million miles of autonomous driving. And it has developed the platform standard that will be in more autonomous vehicles than any other. Already, this firm has partnered with nearly all of the top car companies in the world, including: BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Toyota, Mercedes, Volvo, and Volkswagen … and the best technology companies in the world, like Microsoft, Nvidia, and Intel. The incredible thing about this company is that not only have few Americans heard of it, it’s also one of the best investment bargains in the world—it’s ridiculously cheap. You can buy this company today, hold it for years to come… and potentially make 10 times your money over the long term. This investment reminds me very much of another tech investment I made in cell phone technology many years back. At the time, two different cellphone network standards (GSM and CDMA) were fighting for supremacy. GSM was the clear frontrunner, and I recommended a company called Ericsson to take advantage of it. My recommendation soared as much as 5,000% in the years to come. Something similar is happening today with autonomous driver platforms—although few Americans know about it. You have a chance to get in early and make obscene profits in the years ahead. Again… yes… this new technology will definitely contribute to the growing wealth gap in America. Today, there are about 3.5 million truck drivers in America today and millions of folks who drive cars for a living. (Most people don’t know that driving a truck is the most popular job in more than half of U.S. states—29 in all.) But the reality is, in the years to come, more and more of these folks are going to lose their jobs. And again, there’s nothing you can do or should try to do to stop this trend. It is inevitable. But you can certainly make sure your money is positioned properly. I’ve just written up all of the details on the two investments I just told you about, and have put everything you need to know in a brand-new special report. Let me show you how to get started… and the important steps you must make now to get the biggest gains of the next few years… and avoid the biggest losses… Take These 3 Steps Now: There are three simple steps you absolutely must take today to put you on the right side of this trend, going forward. Here’s what I strongly recommend… Step #1… First, you need to make sure you don’t own the companies using yesterday’s technology to compete in today’s world… or companies that are trying to hang on to an outdated business model, about to be hit hard by today’s most disruptive firms. For example, if you own a traditional “brick-and-mortar” store like Bed Bath & Beyond, instead of the online retailer Wayfair, you are making a huge mistake. Look at this revenue chart of the past five years… Home Goods If you own any of the traditional electric utility companies instead of the best companies that are developing “smart” residential energy storage technologies, again… you are making a huge mistake and missing out on huge gains. Look at the sales growth of Southern California Edison, a utility where I live, compared to SolarEdge, the leading supplier of microinverters for residential solar systems… Electric Companies In every sector, there are new companies taking advantage of new technologies, where investors are getting rich… and completely disrupting the status quo. Here’s a chart of the past five years of growth comparing traditional payment processors like Bank of America and Wells Fargo to the growth of the new technology disruptor in the same space, Square… It’s just no contest… Payment Processing and Banking I’m sure you get the point. So Step #1 is to purge your portfolio of the companies being disrupted by the new technological innovators. You simply can’t afford to hold these stocks in your portfolio, any longer. Today there are so many ticking time bombs in so many people’s portfolios, because of bad business structures… heavy debt loads… and completely outdated business models that are being disrupted by fast-moving and creative, technological startups. If you own doomed firms like these you are all but guaranteed to miss out on the biggest gains of the years to come. This is why I’ve published a detailed research report that allows you to quickly and easily purge your portfolio of the doomed firms that are all but assured to underperform in the next few years… and, even worse, could potentially go bankrupt. Report: The Portfolio PurgeThis report is called The Portfolio Purge. The first thing you’ll see is a list of 25 very popular companies that millions of Americans own. Please: Make sure you DO NOT own these companies now, and DO NOT buy them in the future, no matter how cheap they get. Second, I’ll show you a simple two-part test you should apply to every investment you make today and over the next few years. If any investment fails this two-part test… you’d better think very carefully before investing in it. I don’t know of another financial analyst in the business who has accurately predicted the collapse or fall in share price of as many companies as I have. My work on doomed companies was even cited in Barron’s. Over the years, I’ve issued more than 70 very profitable “short-sell” recommendations, accurately predicting the exact timing of collapsing share prices for companies such as: Ariba (fell 99% in a year after my prediction) Flextronics (fell 71% in the two years after my prediction) Tellabs (fell 74% in the year after my prediction) Solectron (fell 76% in the two years after my prediction) Providian (fell 91% in the year after my prediction) Countrywide Financial (fell 87% in the two years after my prediction) Whatever you do, make sure you sell America’s doomed companies. And this brings me to Step #2 for capturing the biggest investment gains in the world over the next few years… THE 1,000% PORTFOLIO Step #2 is very straightforward… As we discussed, the really big and profitable technology disruptions ALWAYS happen from the outside. Netflix wasn’t invented by Blockbuster. And none of the TV networks came up with the idea for YouTube. Not a single hotel chain had anything to do with Airbnb. To get the biggest gains going forward, you must make sure you own the fastest-growing, most disruptive, and most profitable “outsider” tech companies available in the markets today. I mentioned earlier that I’ve just published a brand-new report on the best tech investments you must make right now, if you want to capture the biggest gains of the next year and beyond. This report could turn out to be the most important and profitable research of my career… Report: THE 1,000% PORTFOLIOAnd it’s called: THE 1,000% PORTFOLIO. As I said earlier, there’s not another analyst in this industry that I know of who has had as many 1,000% winners as I’ve had in my career… more than 40 (plus nearly 20 other recommendations that have returned more than 500%). To make 1,000% or more gains today, you must learn how to take advantage of today’s most important trend: How the Law of Accelerating Returns in the technology sector is transforming our society. That’s why I’ve assembled a “fully allocated” model portfolio of the most disruptive and fastest-growing technology stocks in the world today. There will be roughly eight companies in this portfolio overall. I’m going to show you four businesses I want you to buy right away. Then, we’ll be build out the rest of this 1,000% model portfolio over the next few months. I’ll tell you exactly when to buy each of these businesses and the price you should pay. These companies are disrupting entire industries… and they are just starting to make investors really rich. Odds are, you probably haven’t heard of a single one of these companies yet… but you soon will! One of these firms, for example just reported revenue growth of 25% higher this year compared to this time last year. Another company has increased revenue 46% in the past few years… and another one has added a whopping 40 million people on it’s app compared to last year. What’s important to realize is that these gains and this growth are all just getting started. Remember, I’ll show you four revolutionary companies you should buy immediately… and roughly another four you should buy over the next few months. I’ll send you a full write-up on each company you should buy immediately, and when we are done building this 1,000% portfolio, over the next few months, you could be perfectly positioned to make extraordinary gains. I’ll show you exactly how I recommend that you divide up your money into these investments to capture the absolutely biggest gains as this trend plays out over the next few years. Everything you need to know is in my newest, most comprehensive research report, called: The 1,000% Portfolio. You’ll get the full details on every fast-growing firm… and the specifics on what price to pay and how much to allocate to each investment. The two reports I’ve just mentioned, The Portfolio Purge, and The 1,000% Portfolio, are the first two things I want to send you when you take a no-risk trial subscription to my top-rated financial research, called Fry’s Investment Report. If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’ve seen lots of solicitations for various investment newsletters and research over the years. But I promise you’ve never seen anything like Fry’s Investment Report. I say this simply because over more than two decades, I’ve compiled what I believe is the best track record in the entire industry. I’ve accurately identified more than forty 1,000% or higher investment winners… without touching options or anything especially risky. Like I said, I’ll put this record up against anyone, on or off Wall Street. In fact, when I put my skills to the ultimate test recently against 650 of the world’s best investors (including famous money managers like Bill Ackman, David Tepper, Joel Greenblatt, Dan Loeb, and David Einhorn) in a famous investment contest, I beat them all with a 150% return in a single year, which was 12 times better than the overall market. Do you know of another analyst in the financial publishing industry who can say they’ve beaten the world’s richest and most famous investors at their own game? Over the next few months, in Fry’s Investment Report, I’ll show you how to build out the perfect portfolio of disruptive technology firms. I’ll keep you updated on all the important changes with every firm I’m recommending. In short, I’ll be there right with you, every step of the way, to make sure you know exactly what to do and when to do it. Normally, access to my work (I publish 12 investment recommendations each year — one per month), costs $199 per year. And at that price it’s a ridiculous bargain, when you consider the returns we’ve been able to help our customers see. In fact, I think my work is the absolute best bargain in the entire investment world. But today you can try my flagship work totally risk-free and at a huge discount to the normal price. Before I give you the specifics, however, there’s one more step I want to tell you about, to take advantage of the most important trend in America today… Remember I told you there are three steps you must follow to take advantage of the huge technological gains that are going to be earned in the years ahead. The first is to get rid of the outdated technology firms and outdated business models so many Americans have in their portfolios. The second step is to get started building your own 1,000% portfolio. Owning these eight incredibly fast-growing… and very profitable… businesses will ensure you have the best chance to produce out-sized investment gains over the next few years. And that brings me to Step #3… Go “Overweight” Here Right Now OK, so far… we’ve talked about the incredible money being made in the technology field, thanks in large part to the Law of Accelerating Returns. We’ve talked about how it’s causing the huge wealth gap in America, and how the wealth gap will grow dramatically in the coming years. I’ve given you my thoughts on purging doomed companies from your portfolio, and how to set up an allocated portfolio of the world’s best, fastest-growing, and disruptive new technology companies. But there’s one more step I strongly recommend you take right away… You see, there’s radical new technology that’s quietly transforming our world… but is receiving almost zero coverage from the mainstream press. It has nothing to do with robotics, virtual reality, 5G, or anything like that. I can’t give you all of the details on this new technology here, because I want to make sure my subscribers are able to own the best companies in this sector, at the best possible price. There are technology trends you want to be in on… right now… when essentially no one is paying attention. I strongly, strongly suggest you go “overweight” on these technologies in your portfolio right now. What I mean by “overweight” is to take a bigger-than-usual position in this space. I’ll show you by far the three best companies in this sector, which I believe you can buy today, and hold for the next five years… potentially making 1,000% gains or more. Of course, past performance does not indicate future returns, and all investments carry risk. But billionaires have invested a fortune into startup companies in technology—I strongly recommend you get in now, too. Report: The 3,000% Technology RevolutionWhen you start your subscription to Fry’s Investment Report, I’ll show you everything you need to know to take advantage of Step #3 in my special report called: The 3,000% Technology Revolution. To recap, here’s everything you’ll get as part of this introductory offer… First, you’ll receive The Portfolio Purge and The 1,000% Portfolio, which will help you learn how to do two critical things quickly and easily. First, eliminate certain stocks from your portfolio, which are all but guaranteed to underperform the markets in the years to come. And second, set up a simple portfolio of the world’s eight best small technology stocks, which are soaring in growth and revenue and could make investors very wealthy over the next few years. I’ll show you four of these companies to buy right away. And we’ll build out the other four positions over the next few months. Next, you’ll also immediately get a copy of The 3,000% Technology Revolution. This report details three new lucrative plays through the radical technological shift sweeping across the world right now, which almost no one is paying attention to. More importantly, these businesses will continue to thrive and grow no matter what else is going on in the economy, including the coronavirus… I’ve included in this report not one…not two…but THREE of the leading companies I believe could skyrocket by 1,000% in as little as 12 months. You’ll learn how to make three simple investments that are likely to soar over the next few years. Finally, you’ll get our next 12 monthly investment reports and recommendations in Fry’s Investment Report. Each new report will be delivered to you on the second Friday of each month, just after the markets close, so you can read and digest my research and recommendations over the weekend, and be ready to make your investment Monday morning. Every month, I’ll show you critical moves and new investments to make. Best of all, you can access all of this work totally risk-free and at a 75% discount off the normal rate. Remember, the regular price is $199. But today, you’ll pay just $49. Why so cheap? It’s simple… We are on a dangerous path in America. We don’t need socialism. We need a better understanding of how our new economy and new technologies work. We need a better understanding of the Law of Accelerating Returns, because we are going to see more innovation in the next 20 years than we saw in the entire previous century. Believe me, the more people who understand what’s happening right now, and can position themselves properly, the better. I know my work can radically help you have a lot more money over the next few years, and avoid the huge mistakes most Americans are making with their money today. That’s why I want to send you this valuable collection of special reports and the next year of Fry’s Investment Report, for just $49. With all of this information in hand, you’ll understand why the wealth gap is only going to accelerate further in America over the next few years… and how to make sure you are on the right side of this trend. This is what I do best—spot the most important macroeconomic trends of the day and help folks take advantage of the massive gains to be made. I was there way back in the 1990s, for example, when few Americans realized the most important macro trend was China’s effort to embark on the greatest infrastructure build-out in world history. China, quite literally, went from being a backwater nation as far as infrastructure goes to having one of the most sophisticated infrastructure systems on the planet. Look at these incredible images of the financial district of Shanghai, from the 1980s, to today, for example… Here’s how ridiculous China’s infrastructure build out was… in a single stat: According to The Washington Post, China used more cement in just three years than the United States used in the entire 20th century! I found many ways for people to take advantage of this trend and amass serious wealth… I recommended a company called Antofagasta Holdings, for example, which doubled in a year… and eventually went up more than 6,600% for anyone who followed my advice. All told, I found more than a dozen companies that would return more than 1,000% gains by taking advantage of this spectacular trend… with winners of 6,000%, 2,200%, 5,000%, and more. I’ve been able to do this over and over again in my career… In 2002 I urged readers to buy select gold stocks because I believed a falling dollar would cause precious metals to soar. Gold prices went up for 12 straight years, soaring 500%, while many gold stocks soared 1,000% or more. But I’m definitely not a gold bug. In fact, just a few years ago, I told readers early on about the huge move coming with cryptocurrencies, as an alternative to traditional government-backed money… right before the price of bitcoin soared nearly 8,000%. And like I said, this is how I’ve been able to find more than FORTY 1,000%-plus investment winners and nearly TWENTY different 500%-plus investment winners over my career. Again: I’ll put these numbers up against anyone on or off Wall Street. This is why all of the big financial publications have sought my advice on the world’s best investment opportunities, and the investments to avoid. I’ve been featured in: Time, Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, The International Herald Tribune, Business Week, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, and Money, just to name a few. Look… we are at a very critical moment in our country’s history: Today, there are a handful of technologies radically disrupting the status quo. There are stocks you must own starting right now… and others you must make sure you sell… or simply never buy. Understanding how the Law of Accelerating Returns will continue to transform our economy and society over the next few years will be the most important thing affecting you and your money. Now is the time to get the facts for yourself, and position yourself accordingly. I’ve made it ridiculously cheap and easy for you to rid yourself of the companies that are going to suffer in the next few years… and establish early positions in the small technology firms that are thriving, and have the potential to make you rich. If you care at all about your financial future, this information is critical. Get the facts for yourself and your family. It will cost you just as little as $49. There is simply no better deal in the investment world today, and if you disagree for any reason, that’s fine… You can get a full refund in the next 30 days.
