Charles’ Note: The Age of Chaos isn’t getting any less chaotic. As I write this, stocks are down and gold is higher on news that hostilities in the trade war might be restarting. Apple has been targeted with a 25% tariff on imported iPhones, and a 50% levy on imports from the EU might start next week.
Fun times!
Of course, the time to buy is when you see the proverbial blood in the streets. And my long-time collaborator and fellow co-founder of the Freeport Society Louis Navellier knows a thing or two about that.
Louis was one of the first successful quants on Wall Street, and he built a billion-dollar financial firm by ignoring the noise and following the data.
And as Louis explains, we have a second “liberation day” coming… it’s just nothing like the first one.
He also offers a stock to consider investing in now to prepare for what he sees ahead.
Then, on Wednesday, May 28, at 1 p.m. Eastern he’s hosting a free broadcast to walk you through his full Liberation Day 2.0 blueprint. During that time, he’ll share the details of another three stocks with even more potential than the one he shares below. Register here now to make sure you don’t miss it.
Louis, take it from here!
Wall Street was in full panic mode on April 3.
The Liberation Day selloff had traders dumping everything.
But I wasn’t worried.
In fact, I told my readers the exact opposite of what every “expert” was screaming…
“A massive rally is coming,” I told them in my April 4 issue of Growth Investor.
That’s exactly what happened.
By April 8, the S&P 500 was down more than 15% for the year. Over the next 25 trading days, the market recovered those losses… and then some. This chart of the S&P 500 shows what that looked like.
As my readers will know, it’s not the only big call I’ve made that’s come true.
Over the past two years, I’ve made three big predictions that came to pass.
I said Joe Biden would bow out of the presidential election. He did just that on July 21, 2024.
I said Donald Trump would return to the White House. Check.
And I said we’d witness a trade pivot. Right again.
So, today, I’ll show you why I made these predictions and how they unfolded.
More importantly, I’ll share with you my next big prediction.
And I’ll show you one stock that will benefit from what’s coming next.
First, if you don’t already know me, it’s important you understand how I view the president and his policies.
What to Expect From Trump 2.0
In a video I released in December 2023 that more than 417,000 people viewed, I said President Biden wouldn’t make it to the 2024 general election.
How did I know?
I’ve been around the markets and politics for more than four decades. I’ve learned a thing or two about how things work behind closed doors.
I knew party insiders wouldn’t risk running a candidate they couldn’t prop up through the finish line.
In that same video, I also predicted that a Democrat from California would likely replace him. I expected California Governor Gavin Newsom to step out of the shadows. It turned out to be Kamala Harris. Still, the pattern played out exactly as I said it would.
After that presidential election debacle, I told my paid subscribers that Trump would win.
When most analysts were still hedging their bets (and Trump was trailing in the polls), I nailed my colors to the mast. I told my readers that a second Trump term was coming – and they needed to prepare.
After Trump won the election, I prepared them for what to expect from Trump 2.0. I said that the president would…
1. End the manufacturing recession and lay the groundwork for a true “Made in America” revival.
2. Roll back environmental restrictions and unleash American fossil fuel production.
3. Go all-in on AI by removing bureaucratic hurdles and launch a full-scale effort to ensure the U.S. leads the global race.
These predictions are also now playing out.
As for the trade pivot…
Shortly after Trump took office, I said that tariffs were coming.
When they came, in April 2025, I warned that the media would panic and that volatility was likely.
I also said this was the first step in a broader strategy to rewire global trade, bring critical industries back onshore, and realign the tax code to favor working- and middle-class Americans.
I forecast that most countries would come to the negotiating table, and that investors shouldn’t worry. I said that most of the “reciprocal” tariffs would go away for major U.S. trading partners – so long as they agreed to play fair.
Sure enough, by May, trade truces started piling up.
Markets rallied. And the so-called crisis began to fade.
After the recent rip-roaring rally, you could be forgiven for wondering if this is the end of the story.
I assure you, it’s not.
Here’s What’s Next on Trump’s Agenda
What we’re seeing now is the rollout of a much bigger framework that I’ve been tracking for months. I call it Liberation Day 2.0.
Here’s what it includes…
1. Tax Liberation
President Trump’s proposal to use tariff revenue to cut income taxes for Americans earning under $150,000 will unleash a wave of consumer spending.
These cuts will lift wages, fuel business investment, and add trillions of dollars to U.S. GDP over the next decade.
2. Tech Liberation
Big Tech, the U.S., and foreign governments have committed more than $2 trillion to AI, crypto, and cloud infrastructure since the election. Get ready for more spending on this breakthrough new technology.
The White House is reversing regulatory choke points. Innovation-first policy is back – and the smart money knows it.
3. Energy Liberation
The U.S. is sitting on more than $100 trillion in untapped energy and mineral resources. New executive orders are slashing red tape on mining and drilling projects nationwide.
This may be the start of a once-in-a-generation boom in strategic materials, rare earths elements, and domestic energy.
The question now is simple: How do you position your portfolio to capture this wealth-creation opportunity?
One way is to buy a stock in the “crosshairs” of the Liberation 2.0 policies.
One Trump 2.0 Stock to Buy Now
I recommended Powell Industries (POWL) to my paid-up subscribers in December 2023 because of its “history of posting big earnings surprises.”
At the time, this Houston-based electrical infrastructure equipment developer and manufacturer posted earnings surprises over five consecutive quarters: 305%, 400%, 233%, 130%, and 62%.
Since then, Powell has skyrocketed for peak gains of 300%.
Now, earnings surprises – even big ones – tend not to produce that much profit.
But exposure to the surging AI market does.
While I didn’t mention AI once in my original buy alert, in the months after I recommended Powell, it became clear that its products and services were crucial components in the giant AI data centers known as hyperscalers.
Indeed, I started talking about Powell as an AI data center beneficiary as early as June 2024… and the stock went on to double in the months after that.
As AI grows, so does the demand for reliable, scalable data centers that are essential infrastructure for AI workloads. These facilities require customized, fully integrated electrical solutions to ensure reliability, efficiency and performance.
Powell’s other major clients include petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, oil and gas producers, utilities, and transportation facilities. That makes it uniquely positioned to benefit from the trifecta of Trump 2.0’s tax, tech, and energy Liberation policies.
The company has already laid the groundwork to support this growth – building relationships with hyperscaler operators and the companies that rent space within those giant data centers (known as co-locators).
And this work is already paying off.
Second-quarter revenue rose 9% year-over-year. And earnings increased 38% year-over-year.
Even more important, Powell earns a “B” rating in my Stock Grader system – not quite elite but still very strong.
This is the quantitative engine I’ve been using for nearly five decades. It’s helped me identify winners like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) long before they became household names.
As my regular readers will know, Stock Grader is a proprietary tool that evaluates individual stocks using a two-part formula…
1. Fundamental Grade – This looks at the company’s underlying business strength. It analyzes things like earnings growth, sales growth and profit margins.
2. Quantitative Grade – This tracks how the stock is behaving in the market. In short: Is big money buying it? This includes institutional buying pressure, stock momentum, and relative strength compared to the overall market.
Right now, Powell is trading at $173 a share. And it’s a great buy under $227.
So, if you want to profit from Trump’s energy liberation plans, I recommend you pull the trigger today.
And buying Powell Industries is just the start.
More ambitious investors will want to join me on Wednesday, May 28, at 1 p.m. Eastern. That’s when I’ll host a free broadcast to walk you through the full Liberation Day 2.0 blueprint.
I’ll also share some details on three stocks my Stock Grader system has flagged with even higher buy ratings than Powell’s – companies that could double or triple as these policies unfold. (Register here now.)
In 2024, it showed my premium members how to take a $7,500 investment and walk away with gains of…
- $2,093 on Novo Nordisk (NVO)
- $5,500 on Axcelis Technologies (ACLS)
- $14,000 on YPF SA (YPF)
- $45,360 on Vista Energy (VIST)
That’s without using options, penny stocks, or any other high-risk strategies.
While the media and Wall Street are still catching up to what’s happening, my system is already highlighting the next winners of this economic reset.
I’ll explain everything on May 28.
I suggest you take a moment now and get your name on the list. That way you won’t miss a word.
