Thank you for sending in questions and feedback!

I read every single email I receive. If you do not see your exact question below, your question is still most likely answered within another response.

So, I recommend reading these Q&As closely.

Let’s get to it.

Can you give me a rundown of the best high-quality stocks you’ve recommended? – Denise

I’ve talked about quite a few at this point. Here’s a rundown of my favorite:

Nvidia (NVDA) – The AI buildout is not stopping anytime soon, despite what some bearish investors think. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet continuously reiterate their high spending plans for years to come. Nvidia is the largest beneficiary of this. As this buildout continues quarter after quarter, Nvidia’s stock should march higher.

Meta Platforms (META) – This company is one of the leaders and largest beneficiaries of AI. Meta has already seen major returns in their advertising business due to AI. The stock also trades at a very attractive valuation compared to the company’s growth prospects.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) – This is a longer-term investment opportunity. Rocket Lab is positioning themselves as a viable alternative to SpaceX. The company continues to show strong revenue growth and an increasing backlog. The company also trades at just a fraction of SpaceX’s valuation.

I’ve also got quite a few editions of SMASH, TRASH, or STASH, where I quickly give my take on reader-suggested stocks. You can view previous editions here, here, and here.

Plus, here’s a new theme I’ll be talking about more – lithium. During Tesla’s conference call this week, Elon talked about just how massive the battery space will become. This is great news for lithium, which just happens to be one of the most beaten-down industries in the market.

Any catalysts on the horizon you’re paying attention to? I’m ready to trade when you are! – George

Definitely, George. Two big catalysts I’m watching: earnings season and Trump’s reciprocal tariffs slated for August 1st.

Earnings are heating up, and with valuations stretched, any surprise (good or bad) can move stocks fast. I'm eyeing mega-cap tech, AI plays, and consumer names for trade setups. For next week’s earnings lineup click here.

Then there’s the tariff wildcard. After a 90-day delay, Trump’s proposed reciprocal tariffs could hit in just days. If they go into effect, we could see pressure on semis, autos, and retailers with global supply chains. It also throws a curveball at inflation and Fed expectations.

Plenty of volatility ahead. Let’s be ready to take advantage.

Do you recommend any Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs? I'm old school and I'd prefer not to use a digital wallet. – Marcus

Thanks for the email, Marcus. If you want crypto exposure without touching a wallet, the simplest route is spot ETFs. For Bitcoin, check out IBIT (BlackRock) or FBTC (Fidelity) – both hold real Bitcoin and trade like stocks. For Ethereum, check out Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) or VanEck Ethereum Trust (ETHV).

These aren’t perfect substitutes for holding coins directly, but they’re great for traditional investors who want in on the crypto wave without the hassle.

Do you think we should continue to hold cryptocurrency? – Martin

Yes! I believe a small percentage of any long-term portfolio should be allocated to cryptocurrencies. I believe the risk of not owning crypto can be a lot more damaging to your future returns than the risk of losing a relatively small investment. You can read my full thoughts here.

How frequently do you plan to invest? – Scott

The recent runup in stocks has certainly decreased the opportunities to buy high-quality stocks/options at a discount. I’m in no hurry, however.

If I make a 0% return for a few weeks followed by a 5-10x return (that I’m aiming for here at The Million Mission), I’m still significantly outperforming most investors.
