This article reviews a biotechnology (healthcare) company that develops non-invasive genomics tests used to diagnose skin cancer. The product is considered superior to current test procedures, and revenues are growing rapidly. Further, the company has three additional products (still in development phase) with even larger total addressable market opportunities. Encouragingly, the company is working diligently to expand product usage by educating the medical community and by reaching out to more insurers to cover it. In this report, we analyze the business model, product advantages, market opportunity, competitive positioning, valuation, risks, and then conclude with our opinion on investing.
New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, High Growth
In the short-term, the market is a voting machine, and in recent trading sessions high-growth stocks have been voted down indiscriminately. However in the long-term, the market is a weighing machine, and top business eventually rise to the top. In this report, we share an options trade that generates a lot of upfront premium income, and the trade is on a highly attractive long-term growth stock. This trade not only puts attractive upfront cash in your pocket (that you get to keep no matter what), but it also gives you a shot at picking up shares of this highly attractive business at an even lower price (if the shares get put to you before the contract expires in a matter of weeks). We believe this is an attractive trade to place today (and potentially over the next few trading sessions) as long as the price of the underlying shares doesn’t move too much before then.
Top 10 Fintech Stocks: Secular Behemoths in the Making
Financial technology (or “fintech”) increasingly underpins the global economy. Ranging from mobile banking, investing, borrowing and cryptocurrency, fintech has massive opportunity for growth as it increasingly threatens big banks and the financial services industry status quo. From an investment standpoint, the best opportunities for dramatic long-term compound growth usually come from disruptive innovation (such as the industrial revolution, the advent of the internet and now fintech). In this report we countdown our top 10 fintech stocks.
Digital Payments: Robust Cash Flow, High Growth
The “fintech” company we review in this report will continue to benefit from long-term secular growth in digital payments.

In this report, we review the business, growth prospects, valuation and risks, and then conclude with our opinion on investing.
The Digitization of Real Estate Brings Massive Opportunity: Consider This Stock
New Purchase: Fintech Lending, Large Disruptive Growth
We initiated a new position in this rapidly growing fintech company. In this report, we explain why, including its high growth rate and large market opportunity. If you are a low-volatility, income-focused investor—this report is NOT for you. However, if you are looking to add some powerful long-term growth—fintech continues to present attractive opportunities (in this case, to disrupt traditional finance and banking), and this stock is well positioned to benefit.
New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, Diversified Midstream
In this report, we share a high-income-generating options trade on a diversified pipeline company that continues to make progress on paying down debt, it continues to pay an attractive distribution, and the share price is increasingly attractive. We believe the trade is attractive to place today, and potentially over the next few trading sessions as long as the underlying share price doesn’t move too far before then.
New Purchase: Powerful Fintech Play, Lots to Like
We just initiated a new position in our Disciplined Growth Portfolio. The company is a powerful fintech player that offers an attractive combination of growth, value and profits. More specifically, the company is gaining share in a large (and rapidly expanding) market space, it has a high revenue growth trajectory, a broadening ecosystem, and unlike many high growth players—this one is actually growing profitably (a good thing in this case!). Of course there are risks (including covid challenges, non-US growth and competition), but overall the opportunity is highly attractive, and we just added shares.
New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, Effective Social Media
As many technology companies are facing tough quarterly comps (as the initial pandemic social-distancing bump wears off), the market is misinterpreting (in some cases) the latest batch of earnings results with a short-term lens. And this has created some attractive opportunities in the options market. In this report, we review a high-income-generating options trade on a powerful social media stock that just recently sold-off. The trade not only puts significant upfront premium income in your pocket (that you get to keep no matter what), but it also gives you a shot at picking up shares of this extremely attractive company at an even lower price. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today and potentially into early next week, as long as the underlying share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
Portfolio Tracker Updates: Continuing Long-Term Success
Celsius Fitness Drinks: High-Growth Disruptor, Important Things to Consider
Celsius Holdings offers fitness-focused energy drinks, and the business has been experiencing dramatic growth as the pandemic serendipitously led the company to shift its marketing strategy from gyms to mainstream. Investors are optimistic as the company has serious momentum but currently holds just over 1% market share (suggesting a lot of room for continuing growth). However, Celsius faces formidable competition (such as Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar). In this report, we consider the business model, market opportunity, financials, valuation and risks, and then conclude with our opinion on investing.
Powerful Blue Chip: Highly Attractive, Classically Misunderstood
The stock we review in this report is highly attractive, even though its financials are misunderstood by many. Specifically, the company is the strong leader in providing a business critical function that is being transformed from an outdated manual process into a 21st century digitized cloud-based solution. And the total addressable market opportunity (to keep growing rapidly) is massive and growing. Unfortunately, many investors misunderstand the high valuation multiples and low profitability as a weakness. To the contrary, it’s an absolute strength and the right thing to do as the company capitalizes on the highly attractive opportunity. This business will eventually become a massive cash cow.
Top 5 Growth Stocks: Despite Fear, Massive Upside
One of the biggest deterrents to successful long-term growth investing is near-term fear. Whether its driven by the relentless media fearmongering, short-term Wall Street valuation methodologies, or the psychological notion that people react more than twice as strong to down moves as up moves, near-term fear prevents investors from participating in massive long-term gains. It’s challenging for some people to recognize the amazing power of compound growth, but it is often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world by those who understand it. In this report, we countdown our top 10 growth stocks with massive upside potential (despite near-term fear), starting with #10 and finishing with our #1 top idea.
The Trade Desk: Growth at an (Un) Reasonable Price?
If you don’t know, The Trade Desk (TTD) is growing rapidly. The company’s self-service software platform (that enables ad agencies and brands to make data-driven ad placements across a variety of mediums) is benefiting dramatically from secular growth in digital ads and Connected TVs. Further, the company’s recent launch of a more secure and effective Unified 2.0 solution (an alternative to cookies) has added to the growth momentum. But is the company’s valuation simply too high? In this report, we review The Trade Desk’s business model, its market opportunity, financials, valuation and risks, and then conclude with our opinion on whether the shares offer an attractive balance between risks and rewards.
Digital Payments Company: Attractive Growth and Value
The company we review in this report has tremendous long-term price appreciation potential—thanks to its ongoing high growth trajectory, its large total addressable market and its reasonable valuation. The pandemic accelerated one half of its business, and now the other half is expected to accelerate thanks to re-openings. This one doesn’t pay a dividend, and the growth can be lumpy, but over the long term the company has a clear path to dramatic share price gains. In this report, we review the health of the business, growth opportunities, valuation, risks, and conclude with our opinion on investing.
New Purchase: High Growth Media Platform Stock
This is simply a quick note to let you know we made a new purchase in our Discipline Growth portfolio this morning.

The shares are trading below the price when we released our original full write-up on the company back in March (see that full write-up below). And as mentioned, the business continues to improve. The shares sold off hard on Friday (on what appears to be incorrect news about an application rule change). We don’t expect the price to stay low for long, and we just added shares this morning.
