I’ve found it.
Paul Mampilly is a Wall Street legend.
(Barron’s crowned his hedge fund as the “world’s best” and Kiplinger ranked it in the top 1%.)
But a few years ago, he left Wall Street.
“I just grew tired of helping the rich get richer,” Paul explains. “So I started sharing my No. 1 investment picks with Main Street Americans.”
And his No. 1 stock picks across his various research services have been phenomenal.
In 2017, he recommended Plug Power. It gained 1142% in 3.5 years.
In June 2018, he recommended Tandem Diabetes. It’s currently up 520% and still climbing.
In December 2019, he recommended Enphase Energy. It gained 638% in 1 year.
And in March of last year, he recommended Carvana. It’s currently up 877% and still climbing.
But Paul believes his No. 1 stock pick for 2021 could go even higher.

BUDGET BETTER
What is the Rule of 72 and how can it improve your budget?
:strip_icc():format(webp)/RulesofThumb-ArticlePrimary-1a49faa8c635412db26a844b57ee2009.jpg)
The Rule of 72 is an easy way to calculate how long it will take an investment to double, based on the fixed annual rate of return.
This is a good rule to know for any investor’s budget, because you’ll want to know how long to keep your money liquid for. Say you are aiming to turn this money into a car or house—you’ll obviously want to have a time frame, otherwise you could be left floundering.
You can use this rule any time you’re planning for a long-term goal. You can even use the Rule of 115 to find how long your investment will take to triple.
So how do you do it? Although math isn’t fun for everyone, this rule is simple enough to use. Just remember that it isn’t exact, so be sure to look at both the chart and the equation for the most accurate estimates.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Today is the anniversary of the tragic Virginia Tech mass shooting
Today is a somber day in US history, as it marks the anniversary of the mass shooting at Virginia Tech that left 32 people dead.
Seung-Hui Cho, a student at the university at the time, went on a campus-wide rampage before taking his own life. The shooting started at 7:15 am in a dormitory when two people were shot and killed. Cho fled the scene, only to return to campus later at 9:40 am with more weapons and ammunition.
The second shooting lasted approximately 10 minutes as Cho chained doors and exits shut, making it nearly impossible for people to flee. A total of 27 students and five faculty members were killed in the shooting and more than a dozen people were injured on that tragic day.
