We’re coming up on the six-month anniversary of a chat we had about how a tiny number can yield big profits.

Back on Oct. 27, I noted the roughly $3 trillion global information technology sector grew just 3.3% in last year’s third quarter.

But I went on to say if you find the right tech leader, then that aggressive company could grow earnings – and your stock profits – by a big multiple over that number.

We’re coming up on the fourth anniversary of a very important conversation we I had regarding the direction of the markets.

Back in late June 2014, I wrote to tell you not to cash out of the market just because it had hit new highs. I quite clearly said I thought we were in the midst of a generational bull market – and the last thing you’d want to do is sit on the sidelines.

Well, what was true then is even truer now. And I can prove why…

See, while the mainstream media has been blasting you with negative headlines about scandals and wars, I’ve been drilling down – looking into the details about what’s really going on.

And here’s something very important I found.

Despite a 10% drop in the markets (a correction), all the volatility we’ve seen since then, rising interest rates, scandals surrounding Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) and Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), and worries about a possible trade war China, first-quarter initial public offerings (IPOs) had their best performance since 2015.

That’s just not something you hear much about amid the general doom and gloom.

But it’s crucial.

See, nothing keeps a bull market on a long-term uptrend better than fresh cash flowing in. And IPOs are Wall Street’s best lure for attracting new money from investors.

With that in mind, let’s look at why need to look at these setbacks not as roadblocks – but as great buying opportunities…

I try to avoid talking politics here.

My job at Strategic Tech Report is to help you make money no matter who’s occupying the White House and Congress.

I’m not here to comment on what they’re doing except on how it affect your money.

And even though I could score some points if I did so, I’m certainly not here to endorse one party or the other.

I say all that so you don’t think I’m a knee-jerk “Trump basher.” I’m quite conservative myself – and have vocally supported the president on a number of matters (a tough thing to do sometimes in liberal Silicon Valley).

But I cannot hold my tongue any longer as President Donald Trump keeps damaging Main Street investors and their retirement holdings.

Of course, I’m talking about the president’s misguided attacks on Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN).

I want to show you how these attacks are part of a pattern for this administration.

In fact, they’re related to the pressure we’ve seen on pot stocks of late.

Today I’m going to show you that’s playing out.

But more importantly, I’m going to show you how to profit right in the face…

I’ve recently been thinking a lot about the day the stock market crashed in October 1987.

You know why…

On Oct. 19, 1987 – Black Monday – the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 22.6% of its value in a single day.

And ever since Jan. 26, we’ve seen the Dow drop 10%, regain half of that, and then drop and bounce back some again and again.

Back in 1987, I was banking and technology analyst working in San Francisco’s financial district. My boss called me from New York after the market closed on Black Monday to talk it over.

“This is huge,” he told me. “It’s ka-boom!”

I disagreed…

“Hey, this is great news,” I said. “They’re having a sale on Wall Street.”

And that’s how I am looking at the recent “tech wreck.”

You should be, too.

No, this is not 1987. Far from it.

But the fact remains that big tech stocks – all the so-called FANGs – have dropped hard lately. They’re down further even than the overall market.

I made a bundle on cheap stocks back in 1987 – and I want you to do the same with these priced-to-move stocks today.

However, you can’t just head to your broker and put down some “Buy” orders.

You need a strategy – a plan of attack.

So I’m going to show you how to use my unique system to make your own bundle…

If you’re thinking of investing in Spotify Technology SA (NYSE: SPOT) at the launch of its initial public offering or soon thereafter, I have two words for you…

Think again.

And here’s two more…

Stay away.

Yes, Spotify has roughly 75 million registered users around the world. Yes, private markets have valued Spotify as high as $26.5 billion. And yes, Spotify’s “direct listing” is an interesting experiment in stock-market “democratization.”

But here’s the thing. As I’ve told you time and again, IPO investing is extremely risky for Main Street investors – and that direct listing could make Spotify’s IPO even more dangerous than usual.

Plus, there’s a tech player out there that is relatively new to music steaming – but that is set to eat Spotify’s lunch. At the very least, this new music streamer will eat into Spotify profit margins and blunt its sales growth.

Consider that, as of February, this company’s streaming service counted 36 million users. Barely a month later, that figure had climbed to 38 million.

That’s a pace that should put would-be Spotify investors on notice. After all, Spotify launched in 2008, and the streamer I have in mind is less than three years old.

The music streaming sector is one we want to be in. Global Industry Analysts Inc. says it will have global sales of $9.7 billion by 2022. For its part, Goldman Sachs has predicted the streaming music market will increase to $28 billion per year by 2030.

That’s why I want to show you the company set to dominate this market (and many other markets, too)…

I recently shared a story with you folks here.

A personal story.

I told you how my older daughter, Jordan, a college senior, is working on a school project paper trading a $100,000 portfolio focused heavily on tech stocks.

And that story led to a lesson in moneymaking. In honor of Jordan’s rightful suspicion of anything her “old man” tries to teach her, I dubbed it “The Skeptics’ Guide to Tech Investing.”

Today I’ve got another personal story. This one is about my younger daughter – and it also comes with a lesson.

This lesson requires we do something painful.

We’ve got to take a close look at the past few days’ extremely rocky markets… the down days we’ve seen in the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite… and the news-driven shellacking served up to the likes of Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) (privacy concerns), Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) (a presidential tweet-storm), and Nvidia Inc. (Nasdaq: NVDA) (the fatal self-driving Uber crash).

But after we do that, we’ll be able to “see through” all the headlines about “tech” dragging down the rest of the market.

There we’ll find three huge profit opportunities that are going to come out of these rocky markets just fine.

Make these moves now…

Say what you will about President Donald Trump – he’s certainly been consistent on China.

During the 2016 campaign, he repeatedly promised to slash our trade deficit with the world’s most populous nation. Last week, he said the goal is to cut that $375 billion yearly shortfall by as much as $100 billion.

This explains three moves he has made recently…

• The first are the president’s 25% tariffs on imported steel, most of which comes from China. We went over those a couple of weeks ago.
• The second occurred earlier this month when the White House blocked Singapore-based Broadcom Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVGO)’s proposed $117 billion acquisition of Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq: QCOM), the wireless chip leader based in San Diego.
• Then, late last week, President Trump signed an executive memorandum that would impose retaliatory tariffs on up to $60 billion in Chinese imports in order to punish Beijing for stealing American companies’ intellectual property.

These three big moves have many on Wall Street doubting the wisdom of investing in any Chinese tech stocks in the current climate.

That’s crazy.

First off, all the media “noise” around tariffs and trade ward doesn’t match the reality of the situation… the “signal” – which is that Trump’s tough talk has gotten China and others to the negotiating table.

We’ve already gotten concessions from South Korea – and I bet Beijing will be close behind.

So, while others flee in fear, I’ve identified five Chinese tech leaders that I think will benefit – not despite Trump’s moves… but because of them.

Today I’m going to show you why the time to act is now and how you can make big money doing so…

President Donald Trump just imposed 25% tariffs on steel imports and 10% import taxes on aluminum.

Those tariffs aren’t ideal – and they could lead to a trade war if Trump’s team isn’t careful.

But the desperate hand-wringing we’re seeing from the Washington and Wall Street crowds is, frankly, unseemly.

The Associated Press says that U.S. steel production is doing just fine, because the economy is now growing at roughly 3% a year.

Trade Partnership, a pro-trade business group, predicts that the tariffs will lead to 146,000 American job losses.

And Ira Shapiro, one of the architects of the North American Free Trade Agreement, told CNBC that President Trump “has done incredible damage to our relationship with Mexico, some to Canada and a lot to the European Union, all of which was not necessary and not desirable.”

There’s a problem here. All this naysaying presents a simplistic – and I would say false – narrative.

According to MarketLine, steel will be an $865 billion global industry by 2020. And we here in the United States are missing out… almost entirely. Of the world’s top 12 steel producers, only one is U.S.-based.

So if we do this the right way – if Trump’s seemingly reckless plan gets everyone rushing to the negotiating table – domestic firms will clearly benefit.

That said, Trump’s tariffs are far from a panacea.

The steel industry is a laggard in part because it hasn’t kept up with the times. And so steelmakers and other metal firms must invest in the innovative digital tech that is transforming so many other industries.

I’m talking about a technology that unites hardware, software, sensors, robotic systems, and more so that steel factories can operate far more profitably.

Today, factory-floor automation technology is worth roughly $109 billion. MarketsandMarkets says that spending in the sector will swell to $153 billion by 2022.

The firm I want to show you today is transforming steel companies – and firms in other hidebound industries – into advanced tech players.

It’s minting cash for its shareholders along the way.

And it’s about to start a second $1 billion share buyback program – so you’ll get paid as you wait for your gains…

I believe in learning about investing early.

Really early.

Here’s what I mean…

When my daughter Jordan was in the sixth grade, I had her start trading paper shares and building an investment portfolio.

And for a few years, we talked just about every night around the dinner table about her stocks’ performance – and the “whys” behind that performance… their financials and growth rates.

We even pored over their charts.

We eventually fell out of that practice as Jordan pursued sports, music, and friends (and her smartphone).

But now, as she’s pursued a degree in finance from the University of Portland, we’ve started our chats again. Not every night – but pretty often.

I couldn’t be happier – or prouder.

Recently, in fact, I helped Jordan with her senior project – investing “$100,000” in a virtual portfolio.

It will come as no surprise to you that the first words out of my mouth were, “Jordan, the road to wealth is paved by tech.”

After all, that’s been my mantra here at Strategic Technology Investor since Day 1.

Working together, we came up with a plan to turn that virtual portfolio into at least $1.6 million by the time she turns 61.

It was a good exercise for Jordan… and for me. I had to confront a skeptical audience – all daughters are skeptical of their fathers – and prove my thesis.

With that in mind, I’m going to do that again today – prove to you how and why the road to wealth is paved by tech.

And I’m going to show you a great way to get started on that road…
