Investors who take my advice often ask me this question: Who do you listen to? Not other investment advisors, generally. I prefer to do my own due diligence and reach my conclusions based on my research, plus 36 years of experience. However, there are a few individuals who have taught me a lot and - indirectly - helped make my readers a lot of money. One of them is Peter Diamandis. Diamandis is not an economist, business analyst or stock picker. He is an engineer, physician, entrepreneur and bestselling author with his finger on the pulse of dramatic innovations occurring in virtually every field today. He is the founder and chairman of the X Prize Foundation, executive founder and director of Singularity University, co-founder of the Zero Gravity Corporation, co-founder and vice chairman of Space Adventures, founder and chairman of Rocket Racing League, co-founder of International Space University, co-founder of Planetary Resources, co-founder of Celularity, founder of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, and vice chairman and co-founder of Human Longevity Inc. It's hard to look at that list and not feel like a bit of an underachiever. Diamandis is tied to developments taking place in biotechnology, cloud computing, networks, sensors, robotics, artificial intelligence, genetics, 3D printing, nanotechnology, blockchain, automated and virtual reality (AR/VR), and dozens of other fields. Some call Diamandis a "techno-optimist." He believes that innovations in science, technology and medicine are leading us into an era of unprecedented prosperity. I would call him a rational optimist. Like me, he maintains a data-based optimism about the future. |
