We live by the adage, “There’s always a bull market somewhere.” Regardless of what’s happening in the broader indexes, there are always stock trend opportunities, particularly in high growth, society-shaping trends. And trends have been our friend here. This is our focus.
Unfortunately, “trends” is a broad subject. And some of these are developing more rapidly than others. So, we wanted to provide investors the top 10 stock trends we believe should be on everyone’s radar… if they’re not already.
Innovative Stock Trends to Watch
5G Stock Trends
There may be no innovation having a broader impact than 5G. The next gen networks will be 100-times faster than 4G. These connectivity speeds are vital for our future. And this has led some to call it “the lifeblood of the new economy.” 5G will impact more than $12 trillion of global goods and services by 2035. That’s more than 10% of global GDP.
Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
Next on our list of stock trends is the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 4IR technologies are dependent on 5G. This includes 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, big data, the cloud, cryptocurrencies, the Internet of Things (IoT), quantum computing, robotics, smart homes, virtual reality/altered reality (VR/AR) and more. These are projected to have a combined potential impact of as much as $60 trillion over the next decade.
Cybersecurity
The numbers are staggering. By 2030, projections suggest there will be more than 125 billion devices connected to the internet. And the need for protection is booming. By 2027, the global cybersecurity market is projected to be worth $326.4 billion.

Electric Vehicles (EVs)
By 2027, global EV market will be worth more than $1.2 trillion. And by 2028, will EVs will capture more than 16% of the automotive market. More and more consumers are turning to EVs – particularly among the younger generations – as alternatives to fossil fuels are embraced. The electric vehicle market is certainly a stock trend to keep an eye on.

Renewable Stock Trends
Over the next decade, the clean energy sector will see $8 trillion to $16 trillion in new investment. Costs for wind and solar power continue to fall. And costs for energy storage are starting to drop as well. With battery prices in decline, wind, solar and storage are becoming competitive with any other forms of power generation. In conclusion, we believe fossil fuel demand peaks this decade.
