Connecting the investable dots...

Electric Vehicles and Gas Prices With the average cost of a 16-pound turkey 21% higher than last year, one source of relief for many families this Thanksgiving was at the gas pump. For the week of Nov. 21, the average price of gas around the country was $3.64, lower than the average price from March to October. As of this writing, prices have dropped even lower, with the average price at $3.39. Yet our friends at LikeFolio, who uncover real-time data to help inform investable decisions, have found two pieces of invaluable information. People are talking about two things at an increasing clip: gas price concerns and electric vehicle (EV) purchases. RECOMMENDED LINK I QUIT traditional investing (Watch this crazy 1-minute trading demo) Inflation is sitting at a 40-year high... Almost 65% of ALL stocks have lost value... ALL but one of the big 401(k) firms are in the red this year... And every day it seems like another expert comes out of the woodwork to warn that a recession is coming. That's why I'm not buying ANY stocks, cryptos, or bonds for the foreseeable future... and instead, I'm just repeating one easy-to-follow trade. A trade that could pay hundreds, even thousands, of dollars almost every time you execute it... (89.47% of the time to be exact). And in this short video, I'm going to demonstrate the entire process step-by-step so you can start using it too. Go here to see how ONE trading technique could make you $1,000 per month. Let's start with gas prices. Even though concerns aren't as high as they were during the summer, you can see they are still significantly elevated in November. And along with inflation and food prices, gas prices are top of mind for consumers, according to LikeFolio's findings, with gas price concerns still up an average of 91% year-over-year (YoY) over the last 90 days. In addition, LikeFolio shared in a Nov. 19 report that social media mentions for purchasing a new electric vehicle were up an average of 256% YoY over the last 30 days. Connecting the investable dots, LikeFolio VP of Research Megan Brantley was interviewed on TD Ameritrade Networks' “Fast Market.” It was a great interview, so I don't want to give too much away, but Megan gives the inside scoop on how higher gas prices in the past and potentially higher gas prices ahead are shaping consumer decisions.

Going back to the EV market, our team has made sure to present you with investable opportunities in EVs over the past year, and we will continue to do so in 2023. That's because in July, EVs accounted for 5% of new car sales in the United States, and that's a massively important percentage for investors — a Bloomberg report said it's the signal that we're now headed toward mass adoption of EVs. RECOMMENDED LINK Will this be America's next big bankruptcy? Wealthy entrepreneur says after watching crypto exchange go bust, UK pension system crisis, and many stocks fall by 95%, here's what coming next... The adoption of technology, from televisions to mobile phones to the internet, tends to follow an S-shaped adoption curve, where sales start slowly and then reach a point of rapidly going mainstream. Source: Global X ETFs For electric vehicles, the 5% threshold appears to be the point in time when early adopters will soon be overtaken by mainstream demand. Twenty-five percent of all new car sales in the United States could be electric by 2025, if the U.S. follows the trajectory set by 18 other countries. This faster adoption will be thanks to more public charging stations, less-expensive cars, and buyers being more educated, which are all accelerating much faster than most people anticipated. We're always on the lookout for automakers that can make you money, but we've been zeroing in on the even bigger opportunity of companies that will power the widespread use of EVs across the country. One company in particular not only has the momentum of increased EV purchases on its side, but also can benefit from the $52 billion United States CHIPS and Science Act. Since we first shared this company in the Aug. 9 TradeSmith Daily issue, the stock price has climbed nearly 10% as of this writing, and there are plenty of reasons why this company could make you even more money. You can find out all of those reasons here. Enjoy your Friday, Keith Kaplan CEO, TradeSmith P.S. Despite what many financial experts are calling a “Lost Decade” for stocks, veteran investor Mike Burnick says he's discovered an unconventional way to squeeze more out of every profit opportunity. He says there's a secret formula that reveals one key piece of information about a stock, which he calls the “profit switch,” that actually identifies stocks poised to jump 300%, 500% — even as much as 3,000%. Don't delay in clicking here to find out how you can take advantage of every stock's internal profit switch to make big money in the market.
