It landed, and I followed him inside.<\/p>\n<p>As the chopper lifted off over the water, he explained we were heading for a tiny island off the Pacific Coast.<\/p>\n<p>A very wealthy man wanted to see us there&hellip;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Top Investors Ride the Wave All the Way Up<\/h2>\n<p>It turned out my friend was working with this reclusive investor. They&rsquo;d identified a new energy technology.<\/p>\n<p>The tech turned fossil fuels like oil and natural gas into clean-burning hydrogen. It all happened in the ground, so you didn&rsquo;t even need to pump the petroleum.<\/p>\n<p>They believed it was a breakthrough. But geology played a key role in making or breaking it.<\/p>\n<p>As a professional geologist, they wanted my opinion on whether to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the wealthy investor&rsquo;s island compound appeared on the horizon. The helicopter set down, and he greeted us.<\/p>\n<p>We spent the day in his living room, overlooking the lush cedar forest. There, we hashed through every aspect of the new technology.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I wasn&rsquo;t convinced. I told him the tech had promise, but it was more of a science project than a sure thing.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&rsquo;t seem put off. His cheer was surprising, given he&rsquo;d already invested serious money getting the hydrogen tech to its current stage.<\/p>\n<p>But for him, the amount was peanuts compared to his overall net worth. He said he&rsquo;d keep working on the tech, no worries.<\/p>\n<p>I realized something that day&hellip; It&rsquo;s a critical part of how the richest people on the planet grow their fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>Most investors chase trends&hellip; The world&rsquo;s wealthiest investors create them.<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: 1px solid #D7D7D7; margin-bottom:20px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 15px;padding-right: 15px; padding-top: 15px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size:17px; line-height:24px;\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?

They ride the wave <em>all the way <\/em>up.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, means bigger gains. It also ensures smaller losses. If a sector hasn&rsquo;t moved up yet, it doesn&rsquo;t have far to fall.<\/p>\n<p>The hydrogen tech I viewed on the island getaway is a prime example.<\/p>\n<p>At the time I visited, no one cared about next-generation energy tech. Today, hydrogen is one of the hottest sectors on the planet. I suspect the wealthy investor I met is raking in millions.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Making the Trends<\/h2>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve applied this lesson myself since then. For the last several years, I&rsquo;ve dedicated a lot of time to new satellite imaging technology. It&rsquo;s the biggest breakthrough I&rsquo;ve seen for finding massive supplies of &ldquo;hard tech&rdquo; metals.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, I worked with a Ph.D. mathematician. He developed completely new ways of crunching satellite data.<\/p>\n<p>We applied it all over the world &ndash; Colombia, Mongolia, even Roman ruins in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>One of our biggest tests of this new technology came in the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar.<\/p>\n<p>We ran our satellite over hundreds of thousands of square miles &ndash; nearly half the country. Then, I drove thousands of miles checking what we found.<\/p>\n<p>Our target was copper. That&rsquo;s one of the biggest hard tech plays going on. It&rsquo;s critical to the electric vehicle (EV) revolution &ndash; every single EV contains over 180 pounds of copper.<\/p>\n<p>When I got out to the barrens, however, I realized I wasn&rsquo;t alone looking for hard tech. Driving through the desert, I came across a massive settlement in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>It was a Chinese conglomerate. They were busy digging copper from the ground. They shipped it back to China to feed the country&rsquo;s massive tech sector.<\/p>\n<p>After asking around, I found they&rsquo;ve been at it for years. Just like the wealthy gentleman on the island, they took a long view on tech investing. They&rsquo;d sunk millions back when no one cared about copper.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they were ahead of everyone. I&rsquo;d even bet they&rsquo;re making billions today, with copper prices hitting record highs.<\/p>\n<p>They beat me&#8230; and that was disappointing. But it was also an important experience.<\/p>\n<p>It clued me in to just how big EV hard tech was becoming. That revelation came at a time when no one cared yet about EVs.<\/p>\n<p>Lessons like that (and from other massive investors like billionaire Robert Friedland) drove me headlong into EV research.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">The Next EV Winners Are Right Here<\/h2>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worked out. Today, we&rsquo;re positioned for one of the biggest tech booms in history. It&rsquo;s the kind of play wealthy investors love &ndash; one that&rsquo;s just starting&hellip; and poised to be world-changing.<\/p>\n<p>To that end&hellip; I&rsquo;m hosting a huge event on Wednesday, March 2, at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/signup.caseyresearch.com\/?cid=MKT610566&#038;eid=MKT614428&#038;step=start&#038;plcid=PLC131778\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the EV Superboom Summit<\/a>.
