Some interesting stats are circling the desks of investment managers, economic forecasters, and financial advisors. They revolve around how big certain cohorts of the population are and how much wealth they stand to inherit. Here are two versions I've heard...
Generation X is 65 million strong and will inherit $36 trillion.
Millennials are 90 million deep and will inherit $48 trillion.
I'm sure there is plenty of cross-over here and give-or-take $6 trillion really doesn't change the impact of this kind of wealth and its potential for investment and spending. The real and paper wealth of the US economy is enormous and will have very positive effects for decades to come.
So that's a giant megatrend that should shape our approach to long-term stock-picking. The future will be defined by the consumer behavior of these inheritors, across sectors from technology, finance, and travel to medicine, energy, and space-age materials.
But what about the short-run of the next 3 to 6 months? For that question, I've prepared a special brief for you that explains 3 tailwinds you need to focus on so you don't miss what's about to happen...

Most investors base their trades on either fundamental OR technical analysis. Why not combine the best of both worlds?
That's how a new Zacks research development will improve our fundamental stock-rating tool that has averaged +26% per year. It adds pinpoint technical analysis for even more timeliness, accuracy, and profit potential. In doing so, it screens down the best 880 Zacks Rank stocks to a manageable 8 to 12. Note: Access to this trading breakthrough closes to the public Sunday, April 2.
