If you're looking for a list of Whitney Tilson's latest stock picks then you're in the right place.
Here at stockEXPOSER.org we uncover the stocks being teased in those pesky investment presentations and reveal them for free.
Whitney Tilson, CEO and founder of Empire Financial, was running his investment newsletter services through this company, but this stopped in 2023. Now he's over at Stansberry Research doing the same.
We haven't looked into and exposed every stock that he's teased over the years, but we have dug into quite a few.
Below is a running list, with the newest exposed stocks at the top, of all that we've covered.
Stock Picks from 2024
“Top Stocks for the Nuclear Renaissance”
- Newsletter: Commodity Supercycles
- Special Report(s): The Top Stocks for the Nuclear Renaissance
“This technology will create more wealth than any other technology in history.”
This is how the presentation is titled.
It's a bold claim… and a claim that Tilson seems to make in just about every presentation.
What we're told is that the US Congress recently approved some sort of billion+ dollar funding for this tech.
So, what is this special tech that is supposedly going to be worth more than just about anything, including AI?
It's none other than nuclear power. Yes, good ol' nuclear.
With much more demand than supply, the world is in need for cheap and clean energy.
The future of AI and nuclear can go hand in hand. If AI is to grow in the future then the world is really going to need to increase their energy production.
With uranium being the most energy-dense material on the planet and the power it produces being some of the cleanest, it's no wonder the world is looking at this source… especially if all of these Western powers want to meet their absurd zero-carbon initiatives.
But it's not just any type of nuclear power that Tilson is teasing here.
More specifically, he's teasing the opportunity to get in on companies behind Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are smaller and cheaper than a full-blown nuclear power plant.
Tilson thinks these are the future, and with the market in the US being void of them, there's lots of room for growth if they really do take off.
To get rich here, he teases 5 picks. We've been able to reveal 3 of the 5. Not bad.
Not all of them are direct SMR plays, but he looks to make bank on this trend from each in some way.
#1 SMR stock:
- Was recently awarded $400 million in government contracts
- It's a uranium producer in addition to producing SMRs
This one looks like BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) – that “$400 million” mentioned probably refers to the $428 million they were just awarded by The National Nuclear Security Administration.
Yep, it's a repeat pick that we've already covered below.
Top Utility Company :
- It owns close to half of all the operating nuclear power plants in the US
- It's on the Fortune 200 list
This one could be Constellation Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: CEG), although there's not much to go off of. It is the biggest producer of nuclear energy in the US with 21 reactors and is a Fortune 200 company.
Other Top Utility Company:
- Generates electricity to over 20 million homes in the US, making it the largest power generator in the country
- It's the fourth largest nuclear energy producer, thanks to recently acquiring another company
This one surely is NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE).
SMR picks 4 & 5:
And as mentioned, we don't know these ones. No clues given.
2023 Stock Picks
“Project E-92” Nuclear Power Stocks
- Newsletter: Energy Supercycle Investor
- Special Report(s): Moonshot Miners: Three Potential 100-Baggers on Exploding Uranium Demand, Up to 2,000x Gains on Two Pioneers of Scalable Nuclear Electricity, & Up to 300% Gains on Two “Bedrock” Stocks for America's Nuclear Energy Revival
Project E-92? Sounds cool, but what is it?
Tilson tells us that there has been $5 billion in private capital that's flowed into some unreported space.
It all has to do with this “Project E-92”.
According to the man, “Project E-92 is more vital to the world's future than literally everything else combined.”
What's this all about?
ENERGY.
More specifically, this project is focused on nuclear energy.
Right now in the US only about 22% of electricity comes from nuclear, but this is looking to grow as rising energy demands look to be met.
And it's not just the free market at work here. The US gov is also on board, with the DOE recently establishing a $6 billion program to preserve US nuclear infrastructure.
Tilson teases us with more than a handful of picks to get filthy rich on this bull market – 7 picks to be exact.
1st Nuclear Pick:
- Has around 2 million customers across the mainland US
- Over 85% of their provided electricity comes from nuclear
This looks to be Constellation Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: CEG), which does match that customer figure and claims to be producing 90% carbon-free energy.
2nd Nuclear Pick:
- It's an integrated power producer (IPP)
- At the moment, they're buying out another energy company that has one of the largest nuclear fleets in the states
This one is Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST), which has announced its acquisition of Energy Harbor.
3rd Nuclear Pick:
- It's a pure nuclear play
- 80% of its revenue comes from government contracts
- Just signed a $428 million contract with the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration
This one looks like it's BWX Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) – yep, was awarded that $428 million contract.
4th Nuclear Pick:
- Expected to be important when it comes to the adoption of SMRs in the US
- Recently snatched up a $263 million contract with the DOE plus a cool $200 million from Samsung along with other large Japanese and Korean investors
This pick is NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE: SMR).
5th, 6th, & 7th Nuclear Picks:
- These are somehow a trio of uranium mining picks
- With exposure to all three, you get exposure to the existing two conventional uranium mills in the US and a Canadian one serving a large mine that is responsible for 14% of global production
Since White Mesa Mill in Utah is the only fully licensed conventional mill in the US and is owned by Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU), this has to be the 5th pick.
Ticaboo Townsite is likely the second mill he's talking about, although it's not operational. This one is owned by Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC), making it the 6th pick.
Lastly, McArthur River is the largest uranium mine and does account for about 14% of global production. It's owned by the giant in the room Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ) – the 7th pick.
DNA Titan Company
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): The DNA Titan: The Next Trillion-Dollar Company
Whitney starts out the presentation with the bold headline of “The Last Pill?” because he thinks that this new line of medicine will eventually eliminate the need to take pills.
Quite a big statement considering that in 2021 Americans spent $1,432 on prescription pills ON AVERAGE!!!
What's this talk all about and how the heck does Tilson possibly believe this can be true?
It's all about precision medicine, which has become so advanced that your DNA is now able to be analyzed in order to determine what course to take for preventing disease.
According to the NIH, the goal here is to “provide more a precise approach for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.”
Tilson is so bullish he thinks this growing field of medicine will eliminate the need for pills altogether.
He's calling the company that he's suggesting you invest in right now “The DNA Titan”.
- Has more than an 80% market share here.
- Is responsible for most of the DNA sequencing available
- Over the past 10 years, its shareholders have received returns of 720%
- Have partnered with Roche, Bristol Myers Squib, Merck, and even Amazon
Thankfully, here the clues were pretty good and we've identified it pretty easily as being Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), the largest gene-sequencing company on the planet.
“Chaffee Royalty Program” Stock
- Newsletter: Empire Insider Alert
- Special Report(s): The New “Chaffee Royalty Program” That Could Pay 10x in 12 Months
Tilson tells us that there is another way to go about making money from royalties.
He's talking about the “Chaffee Royalty Program” here.
What is this?
Tilson is really talking about mineral royalty trusts, which were to a large extent brought about by a man with the last name “Chaffee“, who got mega-rich in the 1800s from earning royalties from mining companies.
The reason now is a good time to get in on this type of opportunity is because there is a large royalty push by big resource companies in the space – letting smaller miners go in and do the work with the promises of royalty payments if things pan out.
This means less risk and, yes, less rewards… but still rewards.
- Mineral royalty trust (oil/natural gas) trading for about $16
- Owns royalties on 20 million acres (of energy)
- Owned by a guy named Tom, who took over his dad's lumber company in 1987 – sold the assets off and placed focus on getting mineral rights to oil and gas interests
- Has just 98 employees
This one is Black Stone Minerals L.P. (NYSE: BSM), no doubt, which was also that “Whisper Trade” pick we revealed earlier (below).
AI Companies
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): How to Profit From the $87 Trillion AI Wave & Buy the Platforms: Your Best Shot at a 500% Winner
As you can see from the screenshot of the teaser, Tilson thinks that this AI revolution is going to create the first trillionaires the world has ever seen.
To say it lightly, he's extremely bullish on AI.
That said, let's not get all caught up with the numbers he throws at us.
He tells us this is going to be an $87 trillion market, but of course, he cherry-picked the most bullish predictions he could find to hype this opportunity up more.
The bottom line is that we don't know how big it will be. He gives us no time frame for this “$87 trillion” number and Bloomberg is putting it at $1.3 trillion by 2032.
Either way, it's going to be big. Huge. Gigantic. Get excited, but not too excited.
Tilson tells us that we're about to enter “Society 5.0“, with Society 4.0 being the information age.
He goes on and on about how AI has just hit a major inflection point, being that it is finally in the hands of everyday people with the introduction of ChatGPT earlier this year.
It's now mainstream and we see all the big tech companies jumping on board trying to come out with their own versions of the AI app.
How can we get in on it?
Well, Tilson teases us with not 1, not 2, but 4 stock picks here.
We've exposed each. But don't get too excited. They aren't full-out AI plays like you may be thinking.
1st AI Pick:
- Already has come out with AI tools to analyze customer behavior and create targeted marketing campaigns.
- 4.5 million websites already use this company's platform to market and sell their products in 175 countries around the world
- Had 28 million customers within its first years of operation – this year is expected to have 700 million
What is it?
= Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP)
Then, for the next 3 picks, we have what Tilson is calling “platform companies”.
2nd AI Pick:
- Is dominant in its space, providing AI platforms to 100,000 clients
- Disney is a client – using its AI to build tools that tag nearly a century's worth of past content
- Has recently acquired 7 companies that have to do with AI
This one is Amazon Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), which that 100k client clue matches up nicely with (clients of their AWS platform).
3rd AI Pick:
- Has some of the most advanced AI platforms on earth
- Has platforms to accelerate the deep learning process
This one could be the giant Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), which has been releasing a number of AI tools, one of which is to speed up the training of deep neural networks.
4th AI Pick:
- Has the most advanced AI chips out there
- “AI supercomputer in a box” is what its newest system has been called
Yep, this pick is NVIDIA Corp. (Nasdaq: NVDA). We already had it in our minds at first and that “supercomputer in a box” quote really gave it away.
“#1 Whisper Trade”
- Newsletter: Empire Insider Alert
- Special Report(s): My #1 “Whisper Trade” for 2023
When you first hear the phrase “whisper trades” it sounds like some insider trading going on, with secrets being whispered by insiders behind the scenes.
But Tilson assures us that there is no funny business going on here.
We're told that it:
- Doesn't require us to have any insider connections
- Doesn't use any leverage, or confusing options, to make potential profits
- Doesn't break any laws
We're told that these “whispers” are always out there if you know where to look.
They come from company insiders, but they are completely legal to use, and are publicly viewable by anyone with a computer.
How do we find these “whispers”?
Well, thanks to the SEC, which sometimes helps us little guys out, company insiders are required by law to fill out a short form every time they purchase stocks of their company.
This is called Form-4 Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities.
Why would company insiders be buying up shares of their company? Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that there must be something big coming if this is happening – maybe an acquisition, merger, or a good earnings report is in the near future.
Tilson tells us that the secret to really making a lot of money with these “whisper” trades is to first find a “hot” industry that's seeing a lot of growth, then looking at these Form-4 Statements to see what industry insiders are buying.
The company he tells us is being whispered about like crazy at the moment is:
- A small, Houston-based, resource royalty company
- Company insiders have been buying up shares – The Chairman, CEO, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, and several key members of the board of directors
Tilson also shows us a blurred-out Form-4, which really helped us out considering the clues aren't much to go off of.
This company is Black Stone Minerals L.P. (NYSE: BSM). Yes, its Houston-based and the blurred-out Form-4 he showed matches up with Jerry V. Kyle Jr's, from Black Stone Minerals, form.
From 2022
“EoD” Stocks
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): The EoD Speculation – How to Quadruple Your Money in the Next Few Years
As always, this new technology will be the best place for investors to put their money over the coming years… according to Tilson… and he teases us with 4 stocks to invest in. Well 3.. because he gives us his first pick for free.
Tilson tells us that major companies are scrambling to get their hands on this EoD tech… which is a combination of technologies as we know Tilson usually looks at when scoping out good upcoming investment opportunities.
So, to the point. EoD = Everything on Demand.
Tilson firmly believes that “the future of getting everything and anything we want, at any time, delivered straight to our doorstep on demand and often in less than an hour” is what's coming.
So then, what are the technologies that are converging to make this EoD dream possible?
They are:
- e-commerce
- AI
- autonomous delivery bots
You may already have heard of Amazon's “anticipatory shipping” where they begin the shipping process before you even buy something, i.e. they look at what you've been drooling over online and ship products their AI system thinks you might buy next to the nearest warehouses.
With this in mind, it's no wonder that Tilson recommends investing in Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) as his first pick here.
But besides this, he also recommends 3 other investments to get rich on this EoD trend.
His 2nd pick is something he's calling “The Next Amazon”, which:
- Is one-tenth the size of Amazon and its annual revenue has compounded by 82%/yr, from $24 million in 2012 to a near $4.61 billion in 2021
- In 2021, it acquired one of the world's largest fulfillment centers, which ships over a million orders per month in the US
What is it?
Pretty easy here. It's the already very famous Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP).
His recommended 3rd and 4th investments are companies that have to do with critical components of the automated delivery vehicle/bot part of this whole EoD revolution.
The clues.
- The one company provides the tech that helps driverless delivery vehicles process large volumes of sensor data and make real-time driving decisions.
- This tech was behind the Arizonan-grown produce delivery to a wholesaler in Oklahoma in less than 14 hours.
- Since this tech hit the market in vehicles, its stock has gone up by 50x
This leads us in a direct path to TuSimple Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TSP) for that 3rd pick.
As for the 4th:
- It's focused on driverless technology.
- It's a spin-off from some other company that “recently tied up with a leading automotive producer” in order to bring about a brand new tech company.
Not much to go off of for this one, but we think it is likely Aptiv Plc (APTV) that he's teasing for this 4th pick.
“SWaB” and “Gold 2.0” Stock
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): Gold 2.0: Tap Into the Most Lucrative Vein of the SWaB Revolution
In this “SWaB”/”Gold 2.0″ pitch, Tilson tells us that what he's about to reveal will disrupt $100 trillion in global assets, all thanks to a “set of technologies combining to form the breakthrough” – will supposedly create more disruption than the internet.
This all has to do with Elon Musk's Master Plan Part III and the 3 technologies involved, which will form S.W.a.B – Solar, Wind, and Battery.
Tilson tells us that the combination of this SWaB tech – the combination, not the individual technologies on their own – could decrease energy costs in the US by as much as 10x.
That's a big deal… if all pans out, of course.
But, if SWaB is all about these three technologies, then what the heck is “gold 2.0”.
What Tilson is cleverly teasing here is copper, due to its increasing demand with all the wind turbines that will be needed for this energy revolution to play out… if it indeed does play out.
Tilson tells us that copper is as good as gold and the clues he gives on his copper pick include:
- The company is expected to increase output by 102% by 2023
- They have some of the lowest copper-producing costs in the industry
- It's a leader in the copper market
This brings us to Teck Resources Limited (NYSE: TECK), which recently announced that it should increase its output 102% by 2023.
Energy Supercycle “Next LNG Powerhouse”
- Newsletter: Energy Supercycle Investor
- Special Report(s): 400% Upside: The $4 Stock at the Center of the Energy Supercycle
Tilson tells us here that there is some mass “exodus” going on at this very moment and that from this exodus there will be one gigantic bull market… in one particular sector.
What sector?
You already know he's talking energy here, which he calls the “The Keystone Sector”.
We're told that there have already been 3 big catalysts to push this sector up into a supercycle of colossal proportions. These include:
- Demand Exceeds Supply
- Not Enough Refineries to Process Current Supply
- U.S. Oil Companies Aren't Pumping More Oil
And, of course, the specific type of energy he's bullish on is LNG, or liquified natural gas, which is expected to grow at a rate of 3.5%/yr through 2050.
What about the company he's teasing to ride this supercycle out?
Here's what was shared about the company:
- It's building an integrated LNG business in the US, which will control every part of production
- It will do the drilling, send it via a pipeline to its LNG facility, then ship it globally and sell it for a 5 times premium
- It already has all the critical permits in place – the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have gave it the greenlight
- Its leader is “one of the founding fathers of the LNG movement”
These clues bring us right to the doorstep of Tellurian Inc. (NYSE: TELL), which calls itself “the first integrated global gas pure play in the U.S.” and matches the clues in other ways too.
*Tilson also recommends buying Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) to capitalize on this energy boom.
“Reversal” Cannabis Stock
- Newsletter: Empire Investment Report
- Special Report(s): My Next Reversal Trade Could Be the Biggest Windfall of my Entire 25-Year Career
In this one, Tilson tells us that he thinks this opportunity could be the biggest of his 25-year career.
Quite a statement.
But he tells us that if we're able to get in on the company he's teasing as the demand for this commodity grows at 30% per year, we could make a fortune.
Of course, this commodity is no other than weed. Pot. Marijuana. Cannabis.
The particular company he thinks is the best in the industry meets all 5 of his criteria to be a “reversal” play.
These 5 criteria are:
- Visionary Management – want a good team of leaders
- Real Profits with Rising Margins – is it actually making money?
- Hidden Asset – how popular is it already?
- Industry Insight – look for industry leaders to be buying shares
- Federal Subsidy – federal support in the industry?
So, what's the pick?
Well, the clues he drops include that:
- It meets all the criteria above
- With its strong revenue growth and cash flow, its operating income went positive in 2021
- Ricky Sandler, the billionaire hedge fund guy, owns shares of this company
With these limited clues in mind, we were able to dig around and come to the conclusion that Tilson is teasing Cresco Labs Inc. (OTC: CRLBF) here, which did have a positive operating income in 2021 and has had shares bought from Ricky Sandler's one hedge fund, among other things.
- Newsletter: Empire Investment Report & Louis Navellier's Breakthrough Stocks
- Special Report(s): The Hyperscale: Why the Next Leap in Online Technology Could Make You 10,000% on the Best Little Stocks
Here we have “2 legends”, Tilson and Navellier, teaming up to promote both of their newsletter services at the same time.
This presentation is all about investing in “hyperscalable” companies.
What the heck is a hyperscalable company?
It's exactly what it sounds like… a company that can scale its business easily and without much cost.
Think tech companies like Facebook. Among other things, they provide a platform for people to socialize. It's just a bunch of code sitting on some servers, with which scalability isn't a problem. In contrast, a shoemaker would have to pay a lot of money to scale up in order to produce more shoes.
These easily scalable tech companies are what Tilson and Navellier are looking for.
Even though many believe tech stocks, in general, are in a bear market and that the way to go is with value stocks, they still believe these types of hyperscalable companies are the best bets to get rich.
In the presentation, there were no real clues on the 10 stocks being teased, but luckily for us we were able to come across someone sharing them online as being:
- KOS
- MTDR
- TWI
- RCMT
- CLFD
- DAVA
- MRVL
- UMG
- SYNA
- LNTH
These are unconfirmed but seem to fit the bill.
“The $4 Inflation Stock”
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): The $4 Inflation Stock That Could Change Your Life
Inflation is everyone's fear at the moment but Tilson tells us to fear not. For he, the great stockpicker, claims to have some $4 stock that's going to protect us from all of this… making us filthy rich.
He claims that “if I had to invest my wife's full retirement account in this one stock… this would be the one.”
Throughout the hyped-up presentation, Tilson compares this opportunity to that of investing in AOL when the internet was just taking off, except that this company has tech that's going to disrupt a lot more than just the internet.
Can you really make 100x on this pick like he says?
Well, eventually we find out that this is another synthetic biology pick, like that listed below.
What we're told is that:
- The company started in 2008
- It writes synthetic biology code for all kinds of industries
- It has “the world's largest reusable, standardized genetic parts list” – over 400 million proprietary codes for developing proteins, enzymes, pathways, and cells.
- It just went public a year ago
- The founder of this company was somehow involved with the precursor to the internet
Yep, it's Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DNA) yet again, just like that pick below.
The clues here match up nicely: Co-founder Tom Knight built early ARPANET interfaces, it started trading publicly in September of last year, it has 440 million proprietary codes in its database, etc.
Two different teasers for the same company? Tilson must be really bullish on this one.
America's Next Big “Monopoly” Stock
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): America's Next Big Monopoly
Here we have what we're told is the opportunity to invest in “quaternary code” technology.
What is this?
Well, he's talking about DNA code here and the breakthrough tech that's starting to be used to synthesize it.
The company teased he compares to Apple and Netflix in their early stages, telling us that its breakthrough tech is going to be used for many years to come.
How can we get in on this company that he claims is going to have a “monopoly” on this tech?
Well, some of the better clues given were that:
- It supplies custom genome codes
- It already has contracts and partnerships with Roche, IARPA, Cargill, and some other big American companies
- It has a massive 219,000-square-foot laboratory in Boston where it does all of this work
- And that it a DNA library of 3.4 billion codes, the biggest in the world
With these clues, we think this pick is the synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DNA) – yes, they have their lab in Boston and yes, they have contracts with Roche, etc.
“Connexa Terra” Stock Pick
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): Five Ways to Earn 10x on the World's Biggest Tech Shift
“Connexa Terra”.
Tilson is teasing the opportunity to get rich investing in this technology, but who the heck has ever heard of “Connexa Terra” before?
He tells us it's going to disrupt the entire global economy and luckily for us he's found the companies that are “on the verge of controlling everything”.
What he's talking about here is the metaverse, which is basically the world of 3D virtual worlds.
Think younger generation sitting in their mom's basement wearing some big goggle device and acting strange.
Tilson has 4 stock picks to capitalize on this expected mega-trend.
Pick 1: He tells us it's one of the most influential companies in music history, has a catalog of subsidiaries in 42 different countries and 15 different recording labels, that it's earning ~$6 billion per year, and recently it created some sort of metaverse band.
Pick 2: Tilson tells us that the base of VR tech is AI and this pick has something to do with all the GPU chips that are needed for AI tech. This company's CEO believes that half of their metaverse revenue will come from microchips. Furthermore, it recently came out with a set of software tools to allow companies to collaborate in building The Metaverse.
Pick 3: Tilson believes cryptocurrencies will play a prominent role in The Metaverse. He tells us that there's one coin that many other metaverse-related cryptos are tied to.
Pick 4: Lastly, he teases a company in the gaming industry. He tells us this company has been around since the 80s and that it's looking to dominate the metaverse gaming space. Also, its newest beta version of some game is said to have already been played by 7.7 million people.
That's a lot, and we've identified:
- Pick 1 as Universal Music Group (Amsterdam: UMG) – recently created a Metaverse
- Pick 2 as the GPU producer NVIDIA Corp. (Nasdaq: NVDA), which that statement from the CEO matches up with
- Pick 3 as being good old Ethereum (ETH), which already has a number of metaverse-focused coins built on the platform
- Pick 4 as the gaming company Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: EA) – that 7.7 million users stat matches up nicely here
Stock Picks from 2021
“Netstake” Stock
- Newsletter: Empire Elite Growth
- Special Report(s): NETSTAKE – The Netflix of Sports Betting: How to 10X Your Money Without Placing a Single Bet
In this pitch, Tilson is teasing us with a stock pick from Enrique Abeyta, who runs the Empire Elite Growth newsletter service over at Empire Financial Research.
This “Netstake” company, as he tells us “will bring the excitement of sports plus the adrenaline rush of gambling in casinos, into people’s homes”.
He's calling it the “Netflix of Sports Betting” and this all comes around thanks to Supreme Court decision No. 16-476, which paved the way to legalizing sports betting.
Apparently, it's doing fairly well already with “9 of the 30 states having already signed on with the company thanks to its proprietary technology”.
What we were told about this secret company is this:
- currently trades for under $15
- has patented tech on the back-end for running this online casino
- 113 US casinos already signed up with this company to build online gaming platforms. Some of these include Churchill Downs, the MGM Grand, the Wynn, Planet Hollywood casinos in Las Vegas, Texas Station, and the Red Rock Casino
- Is a B2B supplier of SaaS gambling software – has clients in the US, UK, Israel
With all of these clues, it was pretty easy to identify this Netstake pick as being GAN Limited (Nasdaq: GAN). It matches all the clues fairly well.
Stock Picks from 2020
“TaaS” Recommendations
- Newsletter: Empire Stock Investor
- Special Report(s): The TaaS Speculation – How to Quadruple Your Money in the Next Few Years, The Two Critical Driverless Technologies You Must Own Today, The #1 Way to Profit On The Electric Vehicle Boom
Here we have Tilson teasing us with the opportunity to invest in “TaaS”.
What the heck is “TaaS”?
It's an acronym that stands for “transportation as a service“… according to Tilson. But really this is just some catchy marketing term made up by the team at Empire Financial.
If you Google TaaS you will find different results.
Anyhow, the TaaS that Tilson is teasing is a real thing. It's all about autonomous vehicles and investing in the tech behind them, which is electric vehicles + AI.
Tilson tells us that this is “going to make some people a fortune over the next few years” and proceeds to talk about 4 stock picks to capitalize on this.
Pick #1: Waymo
This one he gives us for free. Buy Waymo.
The only way to go about this is to buy Google (Nasdaq: GOOGL), which owns Waymo. Don't expect to get rich here.
His other teased picks include:
- Pick #2: Own The Most Important Technology In The Electric Car Space
- Pick #3: Own Two Key Technologies For Autonomous Vehicles
- Pick #4: The Small Speculation
While the clues given on these teased stocks were extremely scant, we were able to dig around and find someone sharing the picks on Reddit.
The other 3 picks, which have been confirmed by others, include:
- Umicore (BRU: UMI)
- Aptiv (NYSE: APTV)
- Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA)
Who is Whitney Tilson anyway?
He's a Harvard graduate who founded his own hedge fund (Kase Capital), which he ran for 18 years managing to grow the fund from $1 million to over $200 million… before running the thing into the ground and being forced to close it down.
I guess he couldn't adjust his investment strategy to the long-term market changes and trends.
One of his most bragged about moments is that of his 60-Minutes appearance where he exposed some dirty business practices from Luber Liquidators. The stock plummeted afterward as expected and Tilson made away with a lot of money… since he was shorting the company – all part of his master plan.
After leaving his hedge fund behind, he started his Empire Financial Research newsletter service in 2019 to bring investment advice to Main Street Americans, but as of 2023 has left this behind to join Porter Stansberry over at Stansberry Research.
From what we've seen of the man, his investment teasers usually seem to be focused on different technologies coming together to bring about big change. He's also largely focused on new ‘hot' tech, but will still make recommendations in some more ‘boring' stocks as well.
Should you follow his recommendations?
This is completely up to you. We aren't going to give advice here. We simply expose what he's recommending.
This said, we always recommend doing more research into the opportunities on your own before blindly following them. If there's one thing we know after years of reviewing investment teasers it's that they fall short and disappoint more often than not.
So be sure to do your own research.
There's only one stock newsletter service we actually recommend here at stockEXPOSER and you can take a look at that HERE if you're interested.
I hope this list of exposed stocks has been of value to you! Be sure to let us know what you think of them in the comment section below!
