Here's the chart of Tesla -- one of the most polarizing stocks of all time -- from one year ago, through the end of September last year. In other words, the first three quarters of 2019 ... Down 21% -- which, though painful, is far better than the "down 40%" which Tesla investors had to sit through earlier that summer. But fortunes were about to change ... Here's Tesla from the first day of the fourth quarter of last year, through yesterday ... That's a staggering gain of nearly 275% in less than three months. What if you'd had a stock system that would have gotten you into this trade? Jim Simons did ... and he likely raked in somewhere between $1.5 and $3 billion because of it. ***The extraordinary success of Jim Simons and his numbers-based trading system Investors like Warren Buffett and George Soros enjoy the limelight, but when it comes to returns, no one tops Jim Simons. Starting in 1988, his flagship Medallion fund has racked up average annual returns of 66%, generating trading gains of more than $100 billion. No other marquee hedge fund manager even approaches that number. See for yourself below (by the way, realize that you're seeing after-fee returns to investors). It turns out, he just did it again with Tesla. According to SEC filings, Simons' investment company purchased 3.3 million shares of Tesla sometime in the fourth quarter of 2019. Given Tesla's meteoric rise over those months and here into 2020, Simons could have pocketed between $1.5 and $3 billion -- depending on exactly when he bought, and whether he's already taken profits or still holding. Target 1,133% in Gains Every Single Year Louis Navellier showed a group of readers how to average these types of gains every year, for 15 years straight ... by finding small-cap stocks set to soar 10X or more. Now he wants to show you how ... in a FREE webinar he's hosting on February 26. Click here to register today! SPONSOR AD ***So, let's just jump straight to the question we're all wondering -- how has he done this? It turns out, there's a simple explanation ... Numbers. Simons began his investment career with practically zero investment experience. He was a distinguished mathematician who simply decided to try his hand at trading currencies. Turns out, it didn't go that well at the beginning. From The Wall Street Journal: For a while, Mr. Simons traded like most everyone else, relying on intuition and old-fashioned research. But the ups and downs left him sick to his stomach. This pointed Simons toward a different approach, one that incorporated his mathematical abilities. In short, he built a high-tech trading system guided by preset algorithms -- basically, step-by-step computer instructions. It was a program designed to digest vast quantities of market data from which it would then select attractive trades. The goal was to remove human emotion and instinct from the investment selection process. Simons told a friend, "I don't want to have to worry about the market every minute. I want models that will make money while I sleep. A pure system without humans interfering." ***If this sounds, familiar, it's because our own Louis Navellier shares some striking similarities with Simons From Louis: I'm a numbers guy. Always have been. Since I was a kid, I've loved math and I knew that math was the right way to understand the world. Said another way, I depend on evidence for my decisions. I depend on an objective set of criteria that signals what I should buy, when I should buy it, and when I should sell and collect the profits. Even as a young investor, Louis turned to math and computers for better results, and he's never looked back. He's now been at it now for 40 years, spending millions of dollars, countless man-hours, and trillions of gigabytes of computing power, to create numbers-based, algorithmic approach to investing. You could think of these algorithms as highly-detailed formulas -- math-based rules that analyze millions of data points on over 5,000 stocks daily. The goal is to find those select, elite stocks that are poised to explode, similar to Tesla. Louis calls this his Quantum Scoring formula. He gives it the credit for much of his investment success over the last 40 years -- resulting in profits that have made him and his clients millionaires, several times over. But even better, it's made them millionaires with far greater peace along the way. You see, one of the most overlooked-yet-beneficial attributes of a numbers-based system is it takes the burden of the decision off the shoulders of the investor. "Should I buy now or wait in case it drops?" "Is it time to sell to lock in profits, or is it going higher?" If you're relying on your own hunches and intuition, these questions can produce a great deal of stress. But a numbers-based approach does all the heavy-lifting for you. You simply allow cold, impartial numbers to guide your market decisions. A Recent #1 Pick Soared an Extraordinary 1,125% ...

SPONSOR AD ***An invitation to join Louis to learn more about this market approach Next Wednesday, at 7:00 PM EST, Louis will be holding a special event called the 2020 Breakthrough Stocks Summit. He'll be discussing his Quantum Scoring formula, and how, when applied to small-cap stocks, the returns can be explosive. To make sure we're all on the same page, a "small cap" stock simply refers to a stock's size -- its "market capitalization." When you think of a company like Apple, you're thinking of a large-cap stock. As I write, it has a market cap of about $1.4 trillion. Small-cap stocks typically fall into a market-cap range of $300 million to about $2 billion. As you can see, Apple dwarfs these little stocks. The great thing about investing in a small-cap stock is that the gains are potentially far greater -- and come far quicker. For example, a new sales contract could potentially shoot profits 50% higher for a small company, literally overnight ... whereas that exact same sized sales contract would be just a drop-in-the-bucket for a giant company, having no material effect on its profits. Think about what a 50% increase in profits would do for a stock's price ... On Wednesday, Louis will be getting into the details of his approach -- what he calls "my proven blueprint that helped my system average 1,133% in winning gains, every year, for 15 years straight ..." From Louis: ... this live event will give you everything you need to learn how to start collecting market-crushing returns over the next few years.
