Elon Musk’s Next Big Bet
How would you like to learn how to be an early investor in Elon Musk’s next project?
It may sound crazy that he could go bigger than Tesla or SpaceX ..but once you see the details on this new project, it will make complete sense.
You see, Elon is targeting a new megatrend called S.A.V.
CNBC projects this tech will be worth $30 Trillion.
And Blackrock, the worlds biggest asset manager, is planning to dump $1.2 Trillion into this trend.
Now, it's no secret that getting in ahead of future technology trends is one of the smartest moves to for investors to make (ex. Apple, Amazon, Tesla, etc.)
But how many people actually bought those companies BEFORE they became household names?
That's why Elon's new project is so exciting...there is still time for everyday folks to make a move.
And right now that is exactly what Silicon Valley insider Jeff Brown is recommending.
Jeff just released a short presentation where he explains how everyday folks can can invest in one of the tiny suppliers powering Elon's new project.
He also does a demonstration on this mind-blowing technology a few miles from Tesla's California HQ.
The presentation is completley free to watch.
Ok, Let's take a look at the first stock on our list. We love the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry, and our #1 pick is a company that has massive growth potential this year and beyond.
1) Nio Ltd. (NIO)
For most Western investors, Nio came out of nowhere this year to become the best-performing electric vehicle stock on the market. But this Chinese company isn’t empty hype.
Nio’s explosive performance is based on a reputation for good quality in China, and on some stellar delivery numbers. On October 2, the firm revealed that its September car deliveries were up 133% compared to the previous September.
Nio’s October deliveries also turned out to be more than double those in 2019.
The company has kept growth up, and has strong backing from Chinese authorities for whom air pollution is a huge domestic issue. But this is still only the first inning of Nio’s growth. The company is only making about 100,000 cars a year, about a third of Tesla’s capacity. That leaves plenty of room to grow, and demand in China is strong as the country has already mostly recovered from the Covid pandemic.
According to a March 2021 Analysis by industry leading stock analysis website TipRanks, Nio is currently a Buy opportunity. Shares have fallen in recent months, but according to most analysts (including us at Smart Investor’s Daily). This is looking like a perfect buying opportunity, and not the beginning of a downward trend.
For 1Q21, Nio anticipates delivering between 20,000-20,500 vehicles, amounting to more than a 400% year-over-year uptick and a sequential 15-18% gain, boosted by better-than-expected sales in February – the company delivered 5,578 units last month, bringing the Jan-Feb total to 12,803.
The company has said it now has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles a month, but due to the global shortage of chips and battery supply constraints is currently limited to 7,500. However, by July the company believes these headwinds should subside, which will enable the company to meet its target.
So what does all of this mean in plain English? Nio stock is down in recent months because of short term headwinds. But the company has strong fundamentals, has has a real chance to drive 100% returns or greater in 2021. Buy the Dip!

Exclusive Research From Our Partner
While it's getting very little attention in the mainstream press…
Empire Financial Research founder Whitney Tilson, says “a frenzy is erupting in one small corner of the stock market.” And Tilson believes the returns in this space are only going to escalate from here.
While most investors are focused on big technology names like Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft, Tilson and his team have been strongly recommending a very different type of technology company in 2020.
And the performance of companies in this space has been stunning…
- An Ohio company working on this technology soared roughly 500% in two months.
- A California company considered the leader in this space is up more than 370% since the start of this year.
- A New York company entering this space shot up 71% in just two days.
- And a Phoenix company working on this breakthrough recently shot up 104% in a single day, while another company in the exact same industry just shot up 46% in one day.
As Tilson – a former hedge fund manager who's twice appeared on 60 Minutes to break big financial stories – says…
“The best thing you can do as an investor is position yourself in front of a massive, inevitable, and booming trend… and that's what we're looking at right here.”
That's why he and his research team have put together a full analysis, which explains everything you need to know about this skyrocketing tech sector, including the stock name and ticker symbol of their favorite stock pick in this space.

2) Albemarle (Ticker NYSE:ALB)
Albemarle is in the battery business. They are the world's top producers of lithium, Their products are used in everything from cellphones to electric vehicles. They have a strong combination of wholly-owned and joint venture assets that they use to mine and produce their lithum. This gives them a stable, but robust supply chain that many analysts believe is a recipe for strong, stable growth.
It's no secret that Electric Vehicle (EV) demand is expected to skyrocket in coming years. Big automakers like Ford, Chevy/GMC, Honda, and Toyota are all making big pushes into the space. And tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Tesla are also expected to aggressively invest into EV’s too.
They will all need one thing – batteries – and a lot of them.
Don’t be surprised to see EV sales break records year over year for the next decade. This is a bonafide trend.
And while investing in the electric company car companies themselves is a great idea for most investors. It’s also smart to diversify and take the ‘pick and shovel’ approach. That’s why we love the lithium/battery play.
Albemarle plans to nearly double its lithium production by the end of 2021. And many analysts don’t expect their growth to stop there.
Albemarle also produces something called bromine, which is used as a flame retardant in the same electronics that use lithium batteries (yes, batters can still explode, so safety measures are another sub-sector expected to see growth. In fact, Albermarle is the second-largest producer of bromine in the world.
Our advice: if you’re looking at alternative stocks, you should be looking at Lithium companies. And Albermarle is a great place to look.

3) Gilead Sciences (Ticker NASDAQ:GILD)
Via The Motley Fool
Unless you have been living under a rock you know that biotech companies are kind of a big deal. The global coronavirus pandemic has thrust companies new treatments and vaccines into the spotlight.
One of these companies, Gilead Sciences has had everyone talking after announcing superb 2020 results, especially in its antiviral pipeline. Its HIV drug, Biktarvy, is the number one most prescribed regimen for the disease in the U.S. About 1 in 2 patients with HIV receive the treatment. The drug generated an additional $2.5 billion in sales year over year in 2020.
Overall, Gilead's revenue and earnings per share (EPS) grew annually by 10% and 16% from 2019, to $24.3 billion and $7.09. A significant factor behind the increases is its coronavirus treatment drug Veklury (also known as remdesivir), which brought $2.8 billion in sales since it came on the market in May 2020. This year, it expects to sell an additional $2 billion to $3 billion worth of the antiviral.
Gilead also projects it can grow its sales and EPS to $25.1 billion and $7.45 for 2021. While that may not seem like a significant increase, its stock is already trading at rock-bottom valuations.
A quick look at the chart reveals a company that has been oversold. You can buy Gilead shares for just 3.7 times revenue compared to the industry average of eight times revenue. When you pair that with the companies strong fundamentals and exciting pipeline, the stock look like a great buying opportunity.
It gets even better too — Approximately 67% of the free cash flow Gilead generates goes into shareholders' pockets, with $5 billion in dividends paid and $1.583 billion in stock buybacks in 2020. Gilead stock has a lucrative annual dividend yield of 4%. As an icing on the cake, its multi-billion-dollar biotech acquisitions are about to add impressive growth to its bottom-line.
4) PayPal Holdings (Ticker NASDQ: PYPL)
Via Kiplinger
PayPal Holdings announced in October a service that would allow users to hold Bitcoin, as well as the Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin cryptocurrencies. A November Mizuho Securities survey of 380 users showed that, within just one month, 17% had already used PayPal to buy or sell the cryptocurrency.
That same month, investment firm and hedge fund Pantera Capital wrote in a letter to shareholders that “PayPal and (Square's Cash App) are already buying more than 100% of all newly-issued bitcoins.”
“Crypto functionality is now part of Top 5 finance apps,” say Piper Sandler analysts Christopher Donat and Crispin Love, who rate PYPL at Buy. “On Oct. 21, PYPL announced a new service to enable users of its Mobile Cash app to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies. PYPL plans to expand the offering to its Venmo app in (the first half of 2021).”
If that 17% figure actually translates across all 305 million users worldwide, that indicates that nearly 52 million users have started holding some amount of wealth in cryptocurrency. That's a massive figure that only makes Bitcoin more useful as a digital store of wealth thanks to the “network effect” (a concept PayPal understands well from when it was part of former parent company eBay).
Allowing users to buy and sell Bitcoin on its platform naturally opens up a new source of revenue for the company. Their business model of collecting a small “toll” for every financial transaction processed should help the company expand its bottom line when it begins to apply its fees to crypto transactions in 2021.
Wall Street analysts collectively believe PayPal will average 21%-plus earnings growth annually over the next three to five years. That's reflected in a consensus Buy rating, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The bottom line- if you are looking to get exposure to the growing cryptocurrency and blockchain space through traditional stocks, PayPal is a great company to bet on. With a long track record of sound management, strong growth, and exciting new investments into the blockchain space, they could become THE blockchain company to own in coming years.

5) DeFi Technologies (OTC: DEFTF)
Decentralized Finance, commonly called DeFi, is the next big breakthrough. Many argue its disruptiveness will rival the internet over the next 20 years.
One noteworthy DeFi insider has said “Decentralized Finance will do to the banking industry what email did to the post office”
This groundbreaking technology has the power to change literally everything about how we currently bank, invest, and transact with our money.
And if even a fraction of what our team predicts turn out to be accurate, trillions of dollars in value will flow into the DeFi space in the coming years. This means an unprecedented opportunity for investors who get in early. And it's still VERY EARLY.
There is one big problem though…investing in a lot of DeFi projects means buying cryptocurrencies, and completing complex and risky transactions completley on your own. While we do recommend strongly that our readers learn how to do this, we do not advise our readers do things like swapping, staking, or yield farming with cryptocurrencies without doing their own research first. And lots of it.
Thats why we love DeFi Technologies so much. The #5 stock on our list is a great way for retail investors to get exposure to the DeFi Space without the added complexities of crypto.
DeFi Technologies is a publicly traded company builds and manages assets in the rapidly emerging decentralized financial market, providing institutional and retail investors easy access to previously unseen returns through innovative projects and groundbreaking protocols that are fundamentally reshaping the global financial system.
Now, it's worth noting that the price of DEFTF has moved fairly close to the overall price action of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. That means, when bitcoin sees a large drop, so has the stock. But the same has been the case when bitcoin goes up- DEFTF has generated much bigger gains than traditional stocks.
The stock made our list because we are big believers in cryptocurrency continuing to see massive adoption over the next decade. If you are looking to get easy, high-upside exposure to this exploding space, than DeFi Technologies is a great option.
