What President Biden’s new law means for investors
Sponsored
It’s official: President Biden’s just signed a new bill into law – one expected to help spark a new $40 trillion industry, and make some early investors very rich.
It’s part of a groundbreaking new technology that’s about to roll out across America… one both sides of the aisle in Congress have already committed $400 billion to (with billions more in funding possibly approved by December). Early estimates say this technology could create more wealth than any invention of the last hundred years. More wealth in fact than A.I., the automobile, the smartphone, and the computer – combined.
It could even be worth 20 times more than Nvidia. If you’re wondering how I know all this… My name is Whitney Tilson. I’m a former hedge-fund manager who’s bought some of the top-performing stocks of the last 25 years, before they became household names.
It’s how I got noticed by media outlets like CNBC, which nicknamed me “The Prophet” because of the accuracy of my predictions. I told people to buy Netflix back in 2012, calling it “the next Amazon” – which I also bought, by the way, back in 1999. (Amazon later went on to soar as much as 7,356%.) When I recommended Netflix, it was trading for just $7.78 a share. Less than nine years later, it rose more than 90 times, peaking at more than $700. The story I’m sharing today could be bigger than all that.
You can find all the details in this briefing I’ve just released to the public, for a limited time. I have to warn you: Just like with some of my past predictions, I expect 99% of folks will still miss out on this. That’s the way these things go, unfortunately. This time, the stakes are much higher… which is why I’m doing everything I can to get this story in front of as many folks as possible. But the window to act is closing fast, and I don’t want you to miss it. So please, make time to watch my newest prediction – and find out the name of what could be the #1 investment of the next decade.

Jim Cramer in a recent program talked about the importance of The Dow Jones Industrial Average touching the 40,000 mark for the first time ever. Cramer said that the Dow hitting its new highs was a “team effort” with stocks from many different sectors adding to the index’s gains, instead of just the gains from major tech stocks with size and growth similar to the likes of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG).
Cramer said that many of the Dow stocks should have been “hurt” by the consistent rate hikes by the Fed.
“They should have been crushed by the inflationary spiral. They should have been annihilated by supply chain problems during COVID. None of that happened.”
Cramer Doesn’t See “Anything” Like 2008 Crisis Happening
Cramer said that it’s been almost 20 years since the 2008 financial crisis. When he “surveys” today’s market “landscape” he sees the situation totally different from what it was back then.
“I just don’t see anything like that happening.”
Cramer said that many people would argue that no one saw the 2008 financial crisis coming, but in fact there were many who were warning about the impending collapse, including him.
Jim Cramer said that back in 2007 he was “screaming” about the “danger.”
Cramer Laments Over Negativity in the Market
Cramer lamented that younger investors from Millennial and Generation Z generations have grown to be pessimists when it comes to the stock market. He wondered whether it’s his “job” to celebrate the Dow hitting 40,000 to infuse some positivity in the market. Cramer said his generation (the Baby Boomers) believed that they were better off when compared to their previous generation financially and had a positive attitude in the stock market.
Jim Cramer wondered what’s wrong with celebrating when stocks go high.
“We have so much negativity that surrounds us. We are drowning in it. All of a sudden something positive falls into our lap, a major milestone… does it make sense to scoff at it?” Cramer said.
“I’m Not Asking for Champagnes or Trophies”
The CNBC host said he’s not asking for “champagnes” or “trophies” to celebrate the Dow’s new milestone. What Cramer wants is the rejection of “nihilism” and skepticism that’s prevailing in the market.

Editor’s Note: Elon Musk’s Chilling Warning for Humanity
When the richest man in the world issues a warning, it’s wise to take notice.
And when he issues a warning about his own technology… well, ignore at your peril.;
Elon Musk recently warned that humanity will soon be ‘obsolete.’
In fact, he went so far as to call what’s coming in the months ahead his ‘biggest fear.’
Well, if my research is correct, what Elon sees coming is something I’m calling a ‘silent invasion’ of America.
In short, every port, railroad, highway, and airport in America is facilitating a kind of ‘invasion’ that will – according to one leading research firm – bring about centuries worth of change in the next few years.
If Elon and the research is correct – the results could be devastating for the average American.
But if you know what’s coming and you act today – right now – you could preserve your wealth and perhaps even come out ahead with a few key moves.
I’ve laid them all out in a free, short presentation.
For the time being, you can access everything you need to know by clicking here.
But I suggest you watch it now, because there’s no telling when my publisher will take it down.
P.S. The ‘invasion’ I’ve discovered has nothing to do with the border crisis. What’s happening at our southern border is a travesty, but the ‘invasion’ I’ve found will have 10 times greater effects on our economy, and ultimately our way of life.
