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…

The space race is heating up… If you’re interested in gaining some exposure to this new frontier of investing, this ETF is worth a look.

The Taxman is coming, and he is hungry.

U.S. President Joe Biden and his gang of big government associates have unveiled a budget that comes in at a whopping $6 trillion. There something for everybody in this package – with tax credits, giveaways, and government programs of all shapes and sizes.

This Biden Bacchanalia would make Franklin “The New Deal” Roosevelt and Lyndon “The Great Society” Johnson flush with envy. President Biden is laying out one of the most “progressive” budgets anyone has seen since the 1960s. Even Jimmy Carter couldn’t have dreamt all this up.

Want some examples? I’m talking about:

• Free school for some folks from pre-school up through college.
• Two years of community college is free for everybody.
• A full $1 billion increase in food stamps.
• Massive tax breaks for electric vehicles.
• Big bucks for renewable energy.
• And yet another infusion for healthcare.

Nothing comes for free. And that includes the Biden spending plan, which creates a deficit of $1.8 trillion this year and $1.3 trillion a year over the next 10 years – resulting in a national debt of $39 trillion (117% of projected GDP) by 2031.

Here’s the problem.

Somebody will have to pay for all this.

That “somebody” is you and me.

And those payments can be made only one way – through higher taxes.

Ruthlessly higher taxes.

Welcome to the “Biden Tax Bite.”

And there’s only one way to beat it – by getting out in front of it.

In today’s Total Wealth, we’re going to give you a six-play game plan that will thwart the tax-hike tidal wave that’s coming our way…

Some impressive SPAC deals are coming out… and that’s not all the SPAC market has to offer.

The free market has immense power. No matter the obstacle, it always finds a way. The latest proof comes in the SPAC market.

Lumber prices are soaring. And the reason is a sign of a much larger problem.

Been to the grocery store lately? Then you know that food prices are surging.

The U.S. Federal Reserve refers to that as “inflation” – a clinical bit of jargon that fails to capture the sticker-shock pain your family feels every time you wheel a shopping cart into the checkout line.

Central bankers also tell us this inflation is “transitory.”

But I’m here to tell you that it’s not.

Food prices have been rising for almost two years; they really accelerated during the pandemic and have never looked back.

And it’s only going to get worse.

Thanks to surging demand both here and overseas, the multi-year “Megadrought” in the southwestern United States, an ongoing “overhang” from the COVID-19 pandemic, and foreign-trade gamesmanship from Beijing, agricultural commodities are soaring in price.

Just look at the “Big Three” of ag commodities – wheat, corn, and soybeans.

Wheat, the key ingredient in flour, bread, cookies, pastries, and pasta was already at a seven-year high – and just logged its biggest weekly climb in almost two years on expectations of strong global demand and lower production from Russia, the world’s No. 1 exporter. Cold temperatures have hit winter wheat crops in the Southern Plains and Central states of America. And, according to FranceAgriMer’s cereal crop report, France’s wheat and barley crops have deteriorated, too.

Corn, which goes into cereals, snack foods, soft drinks, and other sweet foods, is already at its highest level since 2013 – thanks to lousy weather that’s delayed planting in such crucial growing regions like the United States and Brazil. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that cold weather could slow the germination of newly seeded corn. U.S. corn crop was 8% planted as of Apr 18. The crops from the 2020 harvest have also been deteriorating.

Finally, we have soybeans, used in soymilk, tofu, and as protein for cattle – meaning they influence meat prices. Soybeans are brushing up against eight-year highs. Tightening global grain and vegetable oil supplies just ignited the biggest weekly rise in soybean futures since May 2019. Meanwhile, the Chinese are trying to import more soybeans to meet strong demand from that country’s livestock sector. And shipments from Brazil – the world’s top exporter – dropped to their lowest level since January 2017. The Farm Bureau says cool, dry weather in the Midwest could hurt soybean crops, although U.S. farmers plan to plant 87.6 million acres of soybeans this year – the most since 2018 – to capitalize on that demand and the higher prices the supply squeeze will create.

So, yes that basket of groceries you’re bringing home to your family will continue to take bigger and bigger bites out of your household budget.

Here’s why I’m sharing this all with you today.

I’m decoding the ag-commodity surge, explaining the inflationary spike still to come, and identifying some of the companies that stand to be the biggest beneficiaries. You can buy these shares, ride along as they profit – and make enough to transform food-price inflation into a non-factor in your household.

And I mean starting today. Starting right now…

If you’ve got a pile of cash you’re yearning to put to use, give these three cash-rich companies a look.

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NasdaqGS:TTWO) as the gaming gorilla behind such mega-hits as the Grand Theft Auto, NBA, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption franchises – and a firm with a market value of more than $20 billion and a share-price trading peak up near $215.

There was a time, however, when Take-Two was an under-the-radar “cheap stock” – indeed one that was trading for less than 10 bucks a share.

For folks keeping track at home, that’s a 2,050% windfall from a single-digit-share-price stock.

And Take-Two isn’t the only one like this.

There’s also Patrick Industries Inc. (NasdaqGS:PATK), a building products company that’s now worth more than $2 billion and whose shares trade at about $90 each.

There was a time when Patrick was worth less than $25 million – and its shares were trading at about $1.20.

For investors who played this cheap-stock play, that’s a windfall of 7,100%.

Or how about LendingTree Inc. (NasdaqGS:TREE) – the fintech leader that’s pretty much a household name these days. This go-to lender recently had a $3 billion market value and a stock price up around $220.

But there was also a time when LendingTree was worth a minuscule $60 million – with a stock price down around $5.50.

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

Now, I’m not sharing these stories just because I love an underdog.

If you want to make money – real money – look at these single-to-low digit stock plays.
