| | Jeff Brown predicted Bitcoin before it climbed as high as 52,400%, Tesla before 2,150%, and Nvidia before 32,000%. Now he says SpaceX is shaping up to be the biggest IPO of the decade - and three key milestones just confirmed it.
In the past 21 days: SpaceX crossed 10,000 active satellites, Elon filed confidential IPO paperwork with the SEC, and another rocket launched 25 more satellites. Two-thirds of every satellite in orbit now belongs to one company. The public filing could drop any day.  |

According to CNBC, 97% of options traders lose money - not because of bad strategies, but because they use too many of them.
After analyzing thousands of losing trades, Bill Poulos found that the top 3% share one habit: they master a small handful of techniques and repeat them. His book 'Simple Options Trading For Beginners,' normally $29.97, is available free for a limited time.  |

Trump's team has officially code-named America's new AI initiative 'Golden Dawn' - a government project involving 40,000 scientists building an AI system described as 283 trillion times more powerful than today's leading data centers.
Louis Navellier, who manages a $1.1 billion portfolio including $358 million in AI stocks, says Golden Dawn represents the biggest investment event of his 40-year career - and has identified one specific stock he believes sits at the center of it. He's named the ticker in a free presentation, with a May 5th date flagged as key.  |
