The No. 1 Tech Stock of 2020 Just Tripped a Rare “BUY” Signal
Dear Reader,
One company is about to blow nearly every other tech firm out of the water.
As one investment analyst commented: “Its numbers are truly mind-blowing.”
Thirty-one analysts recently gave this stock a massive buy/outperform rating…
And it just triggered a fresh signal that indicates it could be about to explode in price.
You see, this company holds more than 200 patents, and 500 more are pending in a technology that experts are calling “the new oil.”
That makes this company absolutely dominant in a tech revolution that is expected to explode 18,767%.
You won’t want to miss this.
Click here now to see exactly why Ian King recommends this amazing company.
Sincerely,
Jessica Cohn
