Takeaway No. 1: Electric Vehicles Passed This 5% Tipping Point — Here Are 2 Investments to Make
As a percentage on its own, 5% doesn't sound impressive.
You wouldn't want to take home just 5% of your salary.
Or eat only 5% of your dinner.
Or watch only 5% of a movie.
But in July, when electric vehicles accounted for 5% of new car sales in the United States, that's a massively important percentage for investors — a Bloomberg report said it's the signal that we're now headed toward mass adoption of EVs.
The adoption of technology, from televisions to mobile phones to the internet, tends to follow an S-shaped adoption curve, where sales start slowly and then reach a point of rapidly going mainstream.

For electric vehicles, the 5% threshold appears to be the point in time when early adopters will soon be overtaken by mainstream demand.
Twenty-five percent of all new car sales in the United States could be electric by 2025, if the U.S. follows the trajectory set by 18 other countries.
This faster adoption will be thanks to more public charging stations, less expensive cars, and buyers being more educated, which is all accelerating much faster than most people anticipated.
Takeaway No. 2: Billionaire Snapshots: The Oracle of Omaha and What He's Buying Even in the Face of a Recession
CPI data, Fed rate hikes, and odds of a recession — these stories are dominating the financial news headlines.
They keep you informed, but hearing that the consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% in September doesn't do you a lot of good on its own for making investing decisions.
What is worth your time is knowing what stocks the most successful investors in the world are buying and selling and seeing what our tools and systems have to say about them.
Because when a billionaire investor like Warren Buffett hears the word “recession,” he doesn't stick his head in the sand and wait for things to get better — he goes on a shopping spree.
From 2008 to 2011, Buffett invested in companies like Mars, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC) — giant, blue-chip companies that he knew had strong business fundamentals that could weather the economic storm and, eventually, emerge stronger than before.
Takeaway No. 5: Ahead of a 15% Spike in Propane Costs, See What Our Tools Say About This Fuel Delivery Investment Opportunity
The focus on renewable energy has left the oil and gas sector with a record lack of capital investment — going from $700 billion invested in 2014 to only $341 billion in 2021. At the same time, the war between Russia and Ukraine has drastically affected energy imports as countries look for new sources of oil and natural gas.
Global energy demand is expected to grow 47% from 2021 to 2050, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration projecting that oil will continue to surpass renewables as the largest energy source.
Demand for natural gas is climbing too, as much as 31% by 2050.
And that brings us to a short-term investment scenario forming for energy.
Take care,
