Just a few weeks ago, Apple became the first-ever trillion dollar company. And Amazon could be next, with a projected $2.5 trillion (!) market value by 2024.
Not long before that, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos became the richest man in modern history. (Homeboy’s sittin’ pretty on a $150B net worth—an insane $55B more than Bill Gates at number two!)
Yes, yes, the [AAPL] and [AMZN] gravy trains have already left the station. However you can still find some growth gems if you know where to look.
Here are three red-hot tech stocks you should pay attention to.
(Editor’s note: If you’re not investing, download Robinhood here, collect a free stock, and start trading—also free.)
1. Okta
Okta [OKTA] is a San Francisco-based cloud security firm that does “identity management services.” So in layman’s terms, this means stuff like multi-factor authentication, API access management, network integration—things like that.
Okta shares have been on fire as of, jumping an impressive 116% in 2018—and seemingly for no apparent reason. The cloud security firm has solid partnerships with Facebook and VMware, creating a robust foundation for growth.
The Upside
Even though Okta has yet to turn a profit, analysts are bullish on the cloud stock. They expect revenue to jump 37% year-over-year to $356.5M in fiscal 2019, 32% to $471M in fiscal 2020 and 41% to $665M in fiscal 2021.
The Verdict
In addition, earnings are expected to improve by 27% in 2019 and 39% in 2020. Analysts have an average price target of $61.1 for Okta, leaving an additional 4.4% room in growth upside for the stock.
Current price: $58.51 Analyst high target price: $65 2018 growth: 128%
iRobot [IRBT] designs and manufactures robots primarily for homes. (Here’s an example what one looks like.) After posting yearly revenue jumps, the robot manufacturer’s has expanded their list of products to keep up with the growth. It now includes cool stuff like robot maps to more useful products like pool cleaners and robot vacuums.
For one, iRobot is investing heavy in research and development to build new product lines and maintain market share in the home robotics market.
As of August, the stock is up close to 38% this year. And there could be more to come.
The Verdict
Analysts expect the firm’s revenues to see steady growth at around 20% a year until 2020. Unlike many tech companies, iRobot Corp is already profitable. In addition, its earnings are estimated to grow by 28% next year.
Current price: $105.6 Analyst high target price: $106.16
2018 growth: 38%
3.Roku
Credit: Roku.
Roku [ROKU] is a video streaming subscription service, just like Netflix. With over 22M subscribers, Roku’s one of the largest content distribution companies in the United States.
While the OTT space has attracted heavyweights like Apple TV, Chromecast, YouTube and Amazon’s Fire Stick, Roku’s as reliable an OTT option of any, partnering with one out of five Smart TV’s in the US.
According to a recent survey by research firm William Blair, Roku’s adoption rate (meaning people who start using it) is up eight percentage points from last September. The only other competitor with similar growth was Amazon.
(Chromecast didn’t improve at all, while Apple TV grew just three percentage points.)
The Upside
Shares of Roku have risen over 16% in 2018. The company has been able to beat earnings and revenue estimates in three of the last four quarters that has driven its stock price upwards.
Altogether, OTT revenue is expected to almost double from $46.5 B in 2017 to $83.4 B in 2022. According to analysts, expect Roku revenues to rise by an average of 35% year-over-year over the next three years.
Despite this growth, Roku hasn’t turned a profit yet, but they’re not far behind. Analysts expect earnings to surge by 94% in 2018—leaving plenty of promise for future scores. (If we’re to believe Wall Street.)
Current price: $60.09 Analyst high target price: $68
2018 growth: 16%

I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.
I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxesin perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.
(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)
There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before.
Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.
But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.
PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀 PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.
If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.
Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲
This is my office for the day…
I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.
It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.
(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)
Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.
This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥
Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.
Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.
Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.
MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝
(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)
One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)
Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.
I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. 💵 💎

Let’s get to work. 🙌
PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshopthat will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. 🔥
