Now that at least two coronavirus vaccines are on the horizon, and the end is in sight (if it isn't right around the corner), it's the perfect time to look ahead at some of the big opportunities 2021 has to offer.
Looking ahead, it's a safe bet that recovery from this pandemic will impact stocks left and right. Some stocks won't do so well as society and the economy open back up, but others, like the one we're going to look at today, will most definitely do better with COVID-19 in the rear-view mirror.
As “unique” (trust me, that's the politest word I can think of) as this year has been, we can still use the Money Calendar to draw some conclusions and make predictions about what stocks are likely to do in the year ahead.
Let's dive in and make some money…
This Might Be 2021's “Safest” Bet
There are more than 3,800 stocks, exchange-traded funds, and the like to buy in the United States alone right now, and with stocks heading back to and blowing past February 2020 highs, plenty of 'em are expensive. Maybe a little too expensive.
So the Money Calendar looks at the top 250, the 6.5% of equities that are the best of the best. It crunches millions of data points, looking over 10 years of performance to find repeatable, tradeable, bankable patterns in them.

Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) was one name that popped on my screen right away.
Cisco has had a tough 2020; even though it's up 24% from the March crash lows, it's still down around 14% on the year as the bullishness that's swept other stocks along to new highs passed Cisco over.
That sounds strange on the surface, considering Cisco is a networking company and plenty of IT departments have been building out their networks for telecommuting, but that hasn't been putting gas in Cisco's tank.
Cisco had one of the original, leading videoconferencing solutions in Webex… but as it turned out, most of the world seems to have broken for Zoom Video Communications Inc.‘s (NASDAQ: ZM) product instead.
Still… Cisco's in better shape than it should be, and when onsite IT activity (that's “spending” to you and me) gathers steam throughout 2021, Cisco will benefit, which turns the stock's current troubles from “bummer” to “big opportunity.”
The Backdoor “Amazon Dividend” Worth $48,000 A Year
Despite its stock trading as high as $3,552 and making billions of dollars in profit every year, Amazon has NEVER paid a dividend to its investors, and that’s unlikely to change any time soon.
But thanks to a little-known program being called “Prime Profits”, a small group of Americans are now scooping up their slice of more than $1.498 billion in legally obligated payments.
Until recently, only a small group of the world’s elites knew about them.
But now, for the first time ever, we’ll reveal how everyday Americans can start collecting their own Prime Profit payout starting December 14th.
This is truly remarkable. Better yet, it takes only two minutes to “enroll.” And there’s no paperwork.
