The market has not been kind to top growth stocks in recent months, and that means there are some very attractive businesses trading at very attractive prices. But rather than diving in headfirst, this report reviews an option trade that generates very high upfront premium income (that you get to keep no matter what) and it gives you a shot at picking up shares of one of the top growth stocks around at an even lower price. This trade covers a stock in the connected TV space, and we believe the trade is attractive to place today—and potentially over the next few trading days—as long as the market doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

Top 10 Big Dividends: Income Ahead of Inflation
If you are an income-focused investor, you’re likely concerned about the combination of low yields and inflation. For example, with the 10-year US treasury offering less than 1.5% yield, and growing inflation threatening to devalue your nest egg, you’re likely looking for differentiated investment opportunities that don’t involve too much risk. One strategy worth considering is to assemble a wide-ranging portfolio of investments (wide-ranging to help you diversify away a lot of the big risks) that also provides higher yields and will help keep you ahead of inflation. In this report, we share our top 10 Big Dividends to help you identify opportunities that might fit the bill for you.
This 8.5% Yield BDC Is Compelling
The 8.5% yielding BDC we cover in this report is relatively new, but well established and large, and it has a strong balance sheet and ample access to attractive deal flow. Like other BDCs, it faced challenges during the pandemic, but has come through relatively unscathed, and continues to use market dislocation to optimize its portfolio. Importantly, management expects the dividend coverage to improve (including the return of special dividends), going forward. Yet because of nervous near-term and backward-looking investors, it still trades at a discount to NAV. If you are a long-term high-income-focused investor, this one is worth considering.
New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, Bullish Vertical Put Spread
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has a large position in this attractive non-US fintech company. And this year’s volatility and share price softness has given rise to an attractive high-income-generating options trade. The trade strategy sounds complex (i.e. “bullish vertical put spread”), but it’s not. It puts attractive upfront premium in your pocket today, it gives you a chance to pick up shares of this attractive stock at a lower price, and it gives you a little insurance on the downside (i.e. your max loss is limited). We believe this is an attractive trade to place today—and potentially over the next few trading sessions—as long as the underlying share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

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 security doesn’t move too dramatically before then.

If you like dividend-growth stocks, offering an attractive yield and price appreciation potential, you may want to take a hard look at this diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company. It’s coming out of its toughest year in operating history (2020, thanks to covid), but is giving strong indications there are more share price increases, share buybacks and eventually dividend hikes, once it gets the additional 2020 debt under control—which we believe it will quite soon (i.e. it’s currently turning the corner hard).

50 Top Growth Stocks In Freefall: These 3 Are Worth Considering
Common characteristics of “top growth stocks” include very high sales growth trajectories, high gross margins and very large total addressable markets. And many of these stocks were pandemic darlings—gaining 50%, 75%, 100% and more—after the initial onset of the pandemic, but have since been in freefall in recent months (as economies re-open), and there could still be significantly more pain ahead. In this report, we share helpful data on 50 top growth stocks (to help you gain perspective on the current situation), and then review three stocks in particular that are attractive and worth considering for investment.

In this report, we review the investment strategy, holdings, valuation, fees, pricing and conclude with our opinion on investing.
A Powerhouse High Growth E-Commerce Stock
Although this company lags Amazon in global e-commerce sales, it is a rapidly growing ecommerce juggernaut in its own right, and its expanding list of highly valuable add on services is benefiting customers and the company itself. 2020 was obviously an aberration year, as e-commerce sales spiked due to the pandemic. But 2021 revenue growth is expected to be higher than pre-2020 years, and the large total addressable market opportunity gives the shares plenty of room to run. And although we expect volatility in the short-term, the recent price pullback provides some additional margin of safety for long-term investors. In this report, we review the business, growth prospects, valuation, risks and conclude with our opinion on investing.
50 High-Yield Energy Stocks, Up Big: These 3 Are Worth Considering
Energy demand was reduced by the pandemic (for example, less people needed gas to drive their cars to work), and that came after supply was increased by improved extraction technologies (for example, fracking). This resulted in major pain for the energy sector, especially as investors flocked to the technology stocks that naturally fit the “social distancing” story during the pandemic. However, a lot has changed this year, as oil prices are up and the energy sector (XLE) has gained about 40%! In this report, we highlight 50 high-yield energy stocks that are up big, and then dive into three names that are particularly attractive and worth considering.
Recent Sell-Off Provides Attractive Entry Point
Sentiment is driving shares of this telehealth leader lower in the near term. However, the long-term story is still very much intact as the growth rate and growth opportunity remain high and large, respectively. Specifically, investors are turned off in the near-term by the company’s signal of little membership growth for 2021, as well as the loss of a Fortune 500 company contract. However, the company remains on track to deliver 30%-40% revenue growth in the medium-term. In our view, the market’s negativity is overblown, and an attractive buying opportunity exists. In this report, we review the health of the business, growth opportunities, valuation, risks, and conclude with our opinion on investing.
New Trades & Portfolio Update: "Pandemic Trade" Unwinds

This report highlights the trades, as well as provides commentary on the continuing powerful performance of the two strategies.

In this report, we review a growing leader in the sustainable energy space. The market opportunity is large and the company’s growth trajectory is impressive.

In this report, we analyze the company’s business model, its market opportunity, financials, valuations, risks, and finally conclude with our opinion on investing.
