Top 5 Stocks To Invest In 2018


The "Melt Up" is here, my friend.   You can either get on board… or let the market pass you by. And right now could be the beginning of the next leg higher for the Melt Up.   You see, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index – the leader during the last Melt Up – just saw a rare anomaly.   This rare event hasn't happened since February 2015. (Before that, it hadn't happened since 2009.)   History says it'll likely lead to big returns… Gains of 15% in just the next three months are possible. It's the next leg higher in the Melt Up.   Let me explain…   We're in the late innings of a historic bull market. But the boom isn't over yet.   As my colleague Steve Sjuggerud has explained… the biggest gains come in the last few innings… when the market "Melts Up" before suffering a major "Melt Down."
