BuzzFeed may have gotten its start as the creator of the quizzes, pop-culture lists, and the “greatest of all time” fascination stories that live at the bottom of the websites we all visit.

But here’s the thing: those superfluous beginnings are now part of its past and the company is quickly emerging as one of the very top digital media brands among the Millennial and Gen-Z crowds – who’ve leapfrogged the Boomers to become the biggest combined population group in America today.

BuzzFeed is now a real-deal digital media company, with properties that include the Huffington Post, product lines that include kitchenware and partnerships that include the Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

That’s all translating into zooming growth for the company – revenue will expand at a compound annual rate of 25% over the next five years – and a potentially great trade for us.

And this opportunity is due in large part to something I refer to as a “Pre-IPO” opportunity or, in the lexicon of finance, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).

Today, I want to give you a quick SPAC primer, who you want to focus on and what to ignore, and then give you a rundown on my BuzzFeed trade – thanks to a SPAC that IPO’d back in January.

This one has me excited – for a couple reasons.

First, we’re going to tackle this one in a way that gives you a shot at all the upside (and believe me, there’s a lot of upside potential here). And there’s a way to stroll away from the trade virtually unscathed if it doesn’t surge the way we want it to.

Second, and more important, I’m going to introduce you to a strategy that will bring you a steady stream of opportunities like this. And this strategy will let you invest in these pre-IPO deals – and trade them, as well.

And just like the BuzzFeed trade – this strategy offers a whole lot of upside.

Holiday-shortened weeks are typically characterized by lower volume and higher volatility. That can cause some pretty hefty price swings…

Which is a great set up for some quick profits!

That’s why I want to put a few stocks on your radar that could be on the verge of a temporary change in direction riding on the coattails of that lowered volume and higher volatility.

You’ll notice something different in today’s BS.H.

I’m in Baltimore – finishing up some exciting research, which you’ll hear about in the coming days.

But in the meantime, I want you to focus on four plays to make before kicking back for the holiday weekend.

Let me make it really simple for you…

You should be more afraid of missing the continuing bull market in stocks than of a little (or a lot) of inflation.

Inflation speculation is dominating the news. And it’s here. That’s not something I think, it’s something I know. You know it, too. And you know that more is coming

But the U.S. Federal Reserve can’t say that. In fact, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s been saying the inflation we’re seeing is “transitory” and that after supply-chain issues are resolved – and plants and producers get back into gear – supply will catch up with demand and inflation will disappear.

Don’t buy that inflated pipedream.

Inflation will rise; but the Fed also, despite what everyone else is saying right now, won’t start using quick and steep rate brakes.

You know why?

Because they can’t.

And if you listen to the media here, you’ll miss out on a huge leg up in the markets this summer.

Here’s what’s really going on, why the central bank chairman is saying what he’s saying, why some Fed Regional Bank presidents are saying something else, exactly what the Fed’s going to do, and most importantly, why you should pay attention to that fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) feeling in your gut.…

This week, I’ve got a stellar buy for you up my sleeve. Not only would buying this retailer get you in on the ground floor of a new upstart primed for success, it will also line you up to profit on what could be another short-squeeze.

30% of this stock’s floating shares have be shorted… and that spells opportunity for you and me.

I got some incredible submissions you wanted me to comment on in this week’s BS.H. Keep them coming and drop me a line at shah@totalwealthresearch.com.

Have a great weekend, folks.

When Robinhood Markets Inc. launched its trading app back in early 2015, it had a customer “waitlist” of about 700,000 investors.

It had a user list of 10 million in 2019, 13 million last year, and an estimated 20 million in January when the zero-commission-trading pioneer found itself at the center of Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets (WSB) battle against big hedge funds.

Last August, Charles Schwab had 12.5 million active accounts – making it the biggest discount broker in America. By the end of February – after the WSB GameStop (NYSE:GME) short squeeze stunned investors – that number had nearly tripled to 30 million. That’s a 140% increase in active users in just seven months.

Take the time to tally the user accounts at the top six brokerages and you’ll discover there are more than 100 million active retail traders – enough to change the way the stock market functions.

Enough to start a revolution.

But every revolution needs a spark, an ignitor to set it off.

And that spark was something the “experts” refer to as “micro-investing” or “slices” (in fact¸ you may even have seen the “slices” TV ad campaign where Schwab tells you to “own your tomorrow.”)

But I see something bigger… They’re not “slices” or “micro-investments.” They’re fractional shares.

Welcome to the “Fractional Shares Revolution.”

Talk about bringing power to the people.

It’s a way to invest in a stock like Tesla Inc. (NasdaqGS:TSLA) – recent price $650 a share – for the price of a Big Mac, a Starbucks Latte, or a tank of gas.

More important, this fractional-shares strategy is a starting point … a way of mobilizing you.

It’s a path that starts with a few dollars. And if keep snagging those fractional shares, even with spare change, it can end wherever you want – with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even a million dollars of your own.

In this special report, I’m going to tell you why this is truly a “revolution.” I’m going to demonstrate how a fractional-share strategy can work. And I’m going to give you the “Seven Fractional Shares to Buy Now.”

Buy them. Add to your positions as you see fit.

And watch your wealth grow.

Let me show you…

If I were starting my investing career today and I was working with small $100 installments, one of the first stocks I would buy would be Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A).

As I write this, a single share of BRK-A is trading at an astronomical $418,484.00.

If you’re new to investing, you’ve probably heard of Warren Buffet as one of the greatest investors of our lifetime. But just how good is Warren Buffet, you ask?

You need to get this Mexican stock off your portfolio. The stock is sinking, but you don’t have to go down with the ship.

In today’s BS.H, I take a dive into three other All-American stocks that could take your portfolio to the moon – including a fast-growing semiconductor developer. Those semiconductor chips are in high demand and with supply chains coming back online… Well, this stock won’t be trading at a discount for much longer.

Here’s a bit of “investing trivia” that will grab your attention: If you look at the 50 biggest winners of the last decade, 39 of them started out as small- to mid-cap stock plays.

And quite a few of them were also low-priced (as in cheap) stocks – stocks trading at $10 a share, $5 a share … or even less.

One of my all-time favorite examples of a cheap-stock winner is a company called LendingTree Inc. (NasdaqGS:TREE) – the fintech leader that’s pretty much a household name these days. We’re talking about a company that recently sported a $3 billion market value and a stock price up around $220 a share.

Impressive stuff, right?

But there was also a time when LendingTree had a minuscule market value of $60 million – and a stock that was languishing down around $5.50 a share.

From that point to today, we’re talking about a total return of about 3,800%.

That’s a gain anyone – and I mean anyone – would be thrilled to pull down.

String a few of those 20X and 30X windfalls together … and that’s how you get rich.

The issue, of course, is that this cheap-stock-climb-to-the-peak-of-Mt.-Everest takes time to play out. And stocks, like mountain climbers, periodically stop to “rest” – meaning you’re not making any progress.

What if there was a way to get “paid” for owning that low-priced stock – so that you’re getting a steady, predictable stream of cash at every point along the journey?

That scenario not only sounds great – it’s actually doable.

Indeed, that’s the “ultimate cheap stock” – one with a super-low price, a hefty long-term upside … and an income stream attached.

That’s exactly what we have for you here today: A stock with 10-bagger potential – courtesy of the sizzling housing market – and one that will pay you to own it.

And it trades for less than 10 bucks a share…

We’ve all heard the old maxim that “it takes money to make money” – which is certainly true.

But retail investors have another version of this adage – “It takes big money to make money” – a frustrating version that teases the promise of big fortunes … but keeps that wealth just out of reach.

I’m here to tell you that this “obstacle” no longer exists.

Great fortunes are attainable – for anyone. And that journey can start with any amount of money – even as little as $100 … or even $50.

Thanks to the advent of commission-free trading and the ability to buy “fractional shares” through companies like Robinhood or Charles Schwab, there’s been a revolution in the stock market – and retail investors are the big winners. These changes make it possible – and affordable – to buy small slices (fractional shares) of an individual stock – no matter how expensive its trading price.

Here’s why I’m telling you this.

Starting today, Total Wealth is going to make you part of this revolution. Each week, we’re going to spotlight the best places to take the extra $100, $250, or $500 you may have – and put it to work.

Let me show you how this works … and then I’ll show you the opportunity we’re bringing you here today …
