I've always said it and always will: The road to wealth is paved with tech.
If you've been with me for a while, you've made some lucrative “stops” along the road; nanotehnology, 3-D printing, pharmaceuticals, genetics – just to name a few.
Right now, the road is heading straight toward the “Cloud” – distributed computing.
As we speak, the Cloud is in the midst of revolutionizing virtually the entire economy. Before long, the Cloud will be a player in all of our lives, changing them for the better.
Right now, the Cloud is transforming the stock market itself, offering us one of the most impressive profit catalysts I've ever seen.
I can't think of a better time to move…
The Market's “Home of Tech” Is Now Cloud-Bound
This might be the most poetic example of my investing style I've ever seen…
Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ: NDAQ) is moving all 28 of its markets – including the Nasdaq Composite – into the Cloud, where they'll be hosted by hundreds, perhaps even thousands of machines.
Ironically – and, for me, shockingly – Nasdaq was late to the $350 billion Cloud party. I honestly thought the company that's world famous for its tech-stock markets was already there; it seemed like a no-brainer.
Turns out that wasn't the case at all.
In reality, Nasdaq had built its own systems, its own data centers, and hosted most of its operations on site at its Manhattan headquarters – not the Cloud.
Then the novel coronavirus hit. The company was (almost) totally unprepared.
For example, in March, as the mobile-app investing megatrend exploded in parallel with COVID-19 shutdowns, Nasdaq's messaging service sent and received twice as much data as the previous record.
Fortunately for everyone, the company had already moved this service to the cloud, so expanding capacity was easy, essentially automatic.
But as I mentioned, the computers that host the Nasdaq's stock markets were inside the New York City headquarters, and those were closed, locked up tight as the virus raged through the city.
So when those throngs of new retail investors sent trading volume into the stratosphere this spring, the company had to risk rushing engineers into the building to manually configure and plug in enough servers to handle the surge.
It convinced the tech-market juggernaut to make a big, permanent, and ultimately very smart move.
