Ian King’s Publications

Strategic Fortunes:

Ian uses his exclusive four-step system for finding “tipping-point trends” — or massive developments that are set to trigger a technological revolution.

These are in large-cap tech stocks that are overlooked by Main Street and Wall Street alike. But with Ian’s proven four-step strategy, he finds those “needle in the haystack” stock plays that can deliver windfall profits in one swoop.

In this service, Ian gives you even deeper insights on the economy and the financial markets.

A Strategic Fortunes subscription includes:

  • A focus on large-cap tech stocks and select cryptocurrencies.
  • A monthly newsletter that explores a specific tipping-point trend — and a new stock position Ian recommends investing in.
  • Up to 12 stock recommendations every year.

Next Wave Crypto Fortunes:

Ian helps you navigate the wondrous, and at times capricious, world of cryptocurrency. He pinpoints winning crypto trends with a unique three-part trading strategy. Along with his crypto service, Ian developed the first crypto-investing multimedia product of its kind for Investopedia Academy.

A Next Wave Crypto Fortunes subscription includes:

  • A guide on all things crypto: how to invest, what to invest, where to buy your tokens.
  • Tutorials on investing, staking, upgrading and storing cryptos.
  • Weekly deep dives into the crypto market at large.

Extreme Fortunes:

With this service, we’re looking for companies that are small, but mighty. Ian focuses on small-cap stocks in the $100 million to $3 billion market cap range — with massive potential.

Using a four-phase strategy, he’s able to find companies that are in growing total addressable markets (TAMs). This gives you the best opportunities for huge windfall profits.

An Extreme Fortunes subscription includes:

  • A focus on small-cap stocks ($100 million to $3 billion market caps).
  • Opportunities to invest in solid companies poised to soar by more than 500%.
