By Eliminating the Need for Organ Transplants, This Small-Cap Biotech Is Poised to Make You a Fortune
It’s no secret around my household that medical TV shows are among my favorite “guilty pleasures.”
Just the other night, when I was enjoying some rare downtime, my family and I were relaxing on the couch watching a rerun of House when something struck me.
The episode was called “Transplant.”
Usually, the incredibly gifted, yet deeply troubled Dr. House and his clever team attempt to “solve” an un-diagnosable disease. As an avid follower of the show, I’ve seen my fair share of rare Amazonian jungle fevers, one-in-a-million blood disorders and hereditary diseases thought to be extinct.
But “Transplant” took a different direction.
Instead of suffering from some unknown disease, the patient in this episode needs a double lung transplant due to complications from cancer. Because the patient’s own lungs could not be salvaged, Dr. House had to use his genius to solve an issue with the donor’s lungs to save the young man’s life.
TV and other pop culture often portrays the need for an organ transplant as a death sentence. And in “real life,” although we have come a long way since the first kidney transplant in 1954, thousands of Americans still die each year just waiting for a donor match to come.
In fact, 123,000 patients are now on the U.S. organ transplant waiting list – 45% of whom will likely die before ever being moved off the waiting list.
Biopharmaceutical companies, hospitals and the rest of the healthcare industry have been scrambling to find a solution for decades.
Now, thanks to recent breakthrough technologies in the biologics sector, a new era of healthcare is on the horizon. It’s called regenerative medicine.
And it could end the need for organ transplants forever.
That’s great news for folks on the “waiting list.”
But there’s also good news for tech investors looking for a way to tap into this unprecedented growth market. It’s a play that will soon soar upward of 75% – just the kind of double- to triple-digit gains we look for here at Radical Technology Profits.
And this opportunity is what I’m showing to you today.
These Five Biotech Stocks Will Roar Back in 2016
The 2016 stock market has suffered its worst start to a new year in history.
So far this year, the S&P 500 has fallen as much as 11.2%, the Nasdaq Composite 14.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average 12.2% – making the volatility investors saw in late 2015 look tame.
But no sector has taken a beating quite like biotech. As measured by the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, the biotech sector has taken a 22% nosedive since January and has tumbled nearly 33% since its all-time high of $382.53, which it reached on June 30 of last year.
Now, I understand that numbers like that can send even the most experienced of traders heading for the hills.
But I’m here to tell you right now that’s a big mistake.
2016 is going to be a critical year for biotechnology.
You see, there is something most investors – including the ones on Wall Street – don’t understand about biotech.
And this factor alone could send the entire sector catapulting into a rebound.
With the help of cutting-edge advances in technology, the development of groundbreaking medicines is happening at breakneck speed.
And thanks to my 35 years of experience in Silicon Valley researching some of the most progressive and innovative biotech companies in the world, I’ve been able to put together a list of five companies that are already bucking the market and are set to see record-breaking growth throughout 2016 and beyond.
And I want to share them with you today.
However, before I show you these companies and exactly why each of them is going to see remarkable growth, let me explain why I’m so bullish about this knocked-down sector.
3 Brilliant “Backdoor” Strategies for 2016’s Biggest IPOs
Today I want to tell you about how you can be a key player in what I call a “rich man’s stock market.”
This is a segment that’s about to catch fire again – one that, with the right scenario, can score you gains of as much as 30%, 40%, 60% or even 100%… all in a single day.
The heavyweights on Wall Street usually reserve these hefty profit plays for their top customers – the wealthy elite who already have big money.
But that doesn’t mean you’re locked out.
During my tenure around Silicon Valley, surrounded by some of the biggest names in tech, I’ve compiled a three-part game plan that will tear down Wall Street’s roadblocks – and allow you to grab a share of those windfall returns for yourself.
I’m going to deliver those three “backdoor” strategies to you in this special report.
As well, using this game plan, I’ve uncovered the three “rich man’s” plays with the best chance of making you a millionaire in 2016.
Consider it a “secret passageway” to the tech sector’s biggest profit machine.
Let’s get started…
The Rise of the $2.6 Trillion New Internet "Dream Team" | Strategic Tech Investor | Michael A. Robinson Strategic Tech Investor | Michael A. Robinson
ooking at predictions for 2016, one thing is certain: This rocky market is here to stay.
Volatility in the stock market is inevitable. But, expected or not, turbulent markets are an anxiety pressure point for investors.
However, volatile markets get a bad rap. In some ways, that’s warranted.
But, contrary to what most investors believe, some of the biggest profits can be found lurking in the depths of even the murkiest of markets.
Fact is, strong companies almost always rise from the ashes – giving you a chance to grab some of the best-performing stocks at beaten-down prices before the market flip-flops again.
That’s why market dips like we’ve seen so far in 2016 are a prime opportunity for investors who know what to look for.
And this kind of market sleuthing that led me to the rise of what I call the New Internet “Dream Team” – a quintet of firms that dominate key segments of a market sector worth a combined $2.6 trillion.
Today, I’m going to show you why these all-stars command growing slices of e-commerce, mobile transactions and cloud computing and are great foundational plays for 2016 and beyond – no matter what the market throws our way…
A Coach’s New Year’s Lesson: How My Little League “Dream Team” Reminded Me to Dream
Back in the spring – when I signed my eight-year-old son Joey up for the local rec baseball league – I “checked the box” saying I’d be willing to help out as a coach if the need ever arose.
I’d coached years ago – when my youngest sister Carol Ann played softball – and had always promised that I’d be a coach again.
In July, just after Joey, Robin and I got back from San Francisco, the Fallston Rec Council reminded me of my “offer” and asked if I’d still be willing to help.
“Sure,” I said, figuring I’d help the hitters, or swat pop-flies to the outfielders in practice.
Instead, I was e-mailed a note that, in essence, said: “That’s great … congratulations … you’re the new head coach of the Fallston 9-10 baseball team … the league starts in two days.”
Instead of being miffed, I was excited … even jazzed.
The three months I spent coaching those 11 kids was one of the most gratifying experiences of my life – and not just because of the results. Our team went 7-3, and could easily have gone 10-0. The boys had real “heart” and got along famously as a team. We had great pitching: In fact, at an “away” game on Oct. 11, three of my pitchers combined for a complete-game no-hitter – and got 16 of the 18 outs via strikeouts. Our opponents were almost as good, and their pitchers handcuffed our hitters for most of the game. We scored four times in the top of the sixth – the final inning in that league – to win 4-0.
For the rest of the year it was known simply as the “no-hitter game.”
I watched the boys get better each game. The parents were terrific (I didn’t have a single “Little-League parent”). My three assistants – each, like me, the father of a boy on the team – turned into friends. And the Rec Council itself – and the league organizers who I dealt with – were super-helpful and swiftly resolved the few minor issues that came up.
But it was the players themselves who made this so great.
They called me “Coach Bill” and chatted about their lives, their families, and school. One of the boys, a super-talented shortstop/pitcher named Travis, was fascinated by the stories I related about boyhood idol Willie Stargell … especially after I described how Stargell would swing a sledge-hammer – instead of the usual weighted bat – in the on-deck circle … ostensibly to intimidate the pitcher he’d soon be facing.
Another player, Trevyn (a future leader of this country … you heard it here first), was interested in some of the tales I told about historic no-hitters – including the two in a row tossed by Cincinnati’s Johnny “Double No Hit” Vander Meer. (When the season ended, in fact, I gave Trevyn an autographed picture of Vander Meer from my own collection.)
I got a lot out of this, too. I got badly needed exercise …and broke free of the office several afternoons a week. I got to spend even more time with Joey. And I met some really nice folks.
Feeling very fortunate, I tried to do as much as I could for my players. I awarded some little prizes for special practice drills. I framed the scorecards from “the no-hitter game.” And I awarded a “game ball” after each game – not usually for performance but for things like volunteering to catch extra innings on a brutally hot day, for displaying the benefit of an earlier “protect-the-plate” drill by fouling off six straight pitches with two strikes (even the opposing coach congratulated our boy for this one), and for achieving a pitching “epiphany” during a key moment in a key game.
In addition to the standard lessons – throw the ball, hit the ball, catch the ball – I tried to teach the boys about such things as focus, goal-setting … and the importance of dreams.
By dreams, of course, I’m talking about the things we want and hope to achieve … versus those we have to achieve.
As I urged my young players to ardently pursue their dreams, a funny thing happened.
I realized I hadn’t been ardently pursuing enough of my own dreams.
I was thinking about this today because we’re getting to the time of year where most of us start thinking about our goals for the New Year.
Make no mistake: Goals are important.
But dreams are more important.
Much more important.
And to underscore this, I’d like to share a story with you. It’s a story about one man’s dreams. In fact, it’s one of the stories I shared with most of my players.
I’m a big baseball fan. I’m also a lover of history. This story features both.
But it’s also a story about the importance of dreams …of following those dreams … and of not surrendering them until you absolutely have to.
It’s the story of an amazing former major league pitcher named Dazzy Vance.
And it’s just the right time of year to tell this tale.
The Bitcoin Bull
Ask the coach of any championship sports team to share the Top 10 keys to success, and I guarantee that one of the points on that list will be “a deep bench.”
And what’s true for a top sports team is also true of a successful specialty publisher – like Money Map Press.
With gurus like Michael Robinson for technology, Dr. Kent Moors for oil and energy, Tom Gentile for options, Michael Lewitt for the credit markets and Sid Riggs for small-cap stocks, Money Map can boast a superstar-studded network of specialized-investment experts who oversee and regularly contribute to the two dozen publications the company offers.
But our “expert firepower” doesn’t end there.
You see, Money Map Press has a “deep bench.”
Very deep…
For instance, Executive Director Bret Holmes is a leading authority on digital ad networks and is one of the nation’s top experts on e-commerce publishing.
Writer Peter Krauth is one of the industry’s top gold analysts.
And Money Morning Associate Editor David Zeiler is a recognized expert on both Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.
And it’s Dave who’s the focus of this special report. A former Bitcoin miner who now serves as a cryptocurrency analyst and writer at Money Morning, Dave agreed to sit down with me for a long talk about the digital currency. Our talk covered the currency, its history, the underlying technology known as the “blockchain,” the latest development trends, the currency’s teething problems, and some of the best spots to go for more information. We capped our discussion by getting his latest price forecast – and by examining the best ways to invest.
If you don’t know much about Bitcoin – but have wanted to learn about the cryptocurrency – this is an interview you’ll want to read. And even if you’re already an avid Bitcoiner, when you finish reading this special research report, you’ll be completely up-to-date on the latest developments.
Here’s the edited transcript of our sit-down discussion.
Dear Marissa; Here’s the Only Strategy That Can Still Put Money in the Pockets of Your Yahoo Shareholders
You can’t turn on a TV, open your computer or even read a business magazine these days without seeing Marissa Mayer’s being splattered across the headlines. From layoffs to blowing millions of dollars on “worthless” acquisitions, the embattled CEO of Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) is steering the onetime Internet search leader into the maelstrom.
And investors are livid.
Since assuming the CEO’s post back in 2012, Mayer has had a horrific trac brand names on the Web. She doggedly – perhaps arrogantly – maintained that she could fix Yahoo and, in fact, could make it grow.
She clearly now realizes that was the wrong path to take – in fact, was a path with a dead end.
As usually happens with management missteps, shareholders have been stuck with the tab: In the past two months alone, Yahoo’s shares have corkscrewed nearly 25% - eradicating nearly $10 billion in stockholder wealth.
As a veteran investment guru and chronicler of public companies, this is the kind of thing that makes me want to grind my teeth in frustration – and for one reason.
All of this pain could have been avoided.
You see, for the past year-and-a-half, I’ve been campaigning for Yahoo to follow the one strategy that was open to it … the one course of action that would halt the bleeding, preserve the company’s assets and put money back in shareholder’s pockets.
At the end of last year, in fact, I even wrote an “open letter” to the Mayer herself, reiterating my plan, and underscoring the urgent need for action.
And after looking at the recent headlines, I’m grinding my teeth for one simple reason.
I was right.
I’m not telling you this to boast.
I’m telling you this because I’m outraged - and I’m not alone.
Mayer’s delay in reaching Yahoo’s only logical strategic decision has cost stockholders billions of dollars in wealth.
Today I want to show you what should have been done – and why. And I’ll show you the cost of this strategic miscue.
But first, let’s take a deeper look into the notorious Silicon Valley CEO that is behind it all.

The Five Tech CEOs Most Likely to Make You Rich
If you’re like most investors, you’re probably feeling a bit frantic as volatility continues to rock the stock market for 2015.
And we’ll be dealing with this choppiness for the foreseeable future.
A lot of folks are probably thinking about cashing out and heading for the sidelines.
But I take a very different view of this kind of turmoil.
As I’ve been saying, I still believe we are in the midst of a generational bull market for U.S. stocks.
And I haven’t seen anything in the last several months to make me change my view. In fact, after surveying some key economic trends, I’m still very bullish about the U.S. economy and the tech sector.
You see, I look at the recent market volatility as an opportunity.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve always kept a “short list” of stocks that I wanted to own – at the right price. And now that I run advisories like Strategic Tech Investor, that “shopping list” has turned into a roster of companies that I want to recommend to my subscribers.
These aren’t stocks that I’m looking to trade or “flip” for a quick profit; they are “franchise plays” that I believe are capable of tremendous long-term growth – and that can deliver massive long-term profits as part of the bargain.
To identify companies like this, we developed our “Tech Wealth Blueprint”
Rule No. 1 tells us that “Great companies have great operations.” And “great operations” usually aren’t possible without a truly great CEO.
That’s why today, we’re going to help you start crafting a “short list” of your own. We’re going to give you our list of the five best CEOs in tech. We’re going to handicap the “best of the best,” so that you can get your “Buy Orders” ready.
So if this volatility continues – as everyone else begins to panic – we’ll be the only ones left to smile. And with good reason.

The Zoo, A Going
The Zoo, A Going is a compelling selection of flash- to micro-sized fiction that digs into the quintessential questions of life, love, and death that every young child faces. Spoken through the voice of a young narrator, Jonah, Tyler takes us on a journey through a zoo that delves deep into the murky water of a troubled home, a child's longing for acceptance and understanding with his indignant father, and the sacrifice of innocence. In a narrative in which people echo animals and the animals pass for people, it's a mixed-up jungle of memory, emotion, and the unanswerable questions of life. The sections are quick and frantic, each is brimming with surprising bits of wit, humor and nescience that takes more than one reading to fully burrow into.

Shah Just Discovered the “Short-Side Sweet Spot”
Right now when most investors look at the U.S. stock market, they worry about the potential for hefty losses.
But when Short-Side Fortunes Editor Shah Gilani observes such market nervousness, he sees the potential for huge gains when the markets start to decline.
In fact, Shah thinks the market could decline another 40% in a sell-off. But with his strategic use of options, he’s already racking up multiple triple-digit gains.
