The future is being built right now...

That's the invaluable reminder that our newest senior analyst, Matt McCall, served up to me when I (Corey McLaughlin) was fortunate enough to speak with him last week.

You see, Matt – a veteran stock-picker with an incredible track record – has been busy traveling around the East Coast, making final preparations for his big debut with Stansberry Research...

That will come next Wednesday in an all-new special event. (You can sign up for free right now.)

In the meantime, he has been putting the finishing touches on an exciting basket of stock recommendations... and doing things like shooting footage at his Baltimore residence (so you can get to know him a little bit better) and getting some new clothes for the occasion.

In fact, he was looking to buy a new suit in Baltimore the other day... when, go figure, his wardrobe selection and day-job collided. As Matt told me...

I was at my tailor across the street, picking out the fabric, and there's a thing on the back... The fabric is tracked on the blockchain, exactly which sheet it came from. It's crazy. You wouldn't think blockchain will affect every industry, but it will.

This is a type of takeaway that only an observant, forward-thinking investor could gather from clothes shopping. And this anecdote, in so many ways, is emblematic of the way Matt goes about investing.

He thinks about where the world is going, instead of where it is today...

In other words, long-term trends... Within that view, Matt finds companies that will be the next industry leaders, no matter what those "megatrends," as he calls them, might be...

Then, if you invest early in these companies, you tilt the odds in your favor of making truly life-changing gains in the stock market...

Blockchain-based companies are just one of many baskets that will realize their growth potential in the decade ahead, Matt says.

Remember, several years ago, everyone looking for an edge in investing started to talk about how blockchain – the thing that powers bitcoin – could change every industry someday. Well, that's still true... and that someday is getting closer. As Matt says...

It's all behind the scenes now. It's stuff that you won't see or feel in real life for years. But by that point, from an investment standpoint, the big money has been made.

Matt has operated this way in the markets – very well – for a while...

He grew up a poor kid in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a single mom for a lot of his childhood. There were no silver spoons...

But eventually, Matt became a Charles Schwab stockbroker and later started his own money-management firm to help everyday people build their own wealth.

Then he started spreading his word to television viewers, radio and podcast listeners, and newsletter subscribers... And Matt's track record in our business is among the most impressive we've come across...

He has picked more 1,000% winners (at least 40 of them) than likely any other stock analyst in America over the last decade and made hundreds more that have doubled...

And we're talking about a wide variety of picks... There has been Boston Beer Company (SAM), which he recommended during a Fox Business appearance at the onset of the "craft beer boom." The pick is up 2,500% since then...

In 2009, Matt recommended buying retail store Ulta Beauty (ULTA), which has risen 2,300%...

And he offered up MercadoLibre (MELI), the now-popular "Amazon of South America," as a pick 11 years and 3,000% ago.

Maybe most notably now, he was bullish on bitcoin back in 2014. That was his first 100-bagger pick... and he's looking to make more of those.

As such, Matt has made a name for himself...

He has had more than 1,000 media appearances across Fox Business, CNBC, CNN, and Bloomberg, and you might have listened to Matt yourself at one of our conferences. He has spoken at our last two annual meetings... and will again, later this month in Las Vegas.

To this point, when our publisher Brett Aitken announced the addition of Matt to our lineup of editors and analysts in an e-mail to Alliance partners on Monday, we quickly received glowing feedback like this...

Congratulations on getting Matt McCall! My Alliance membership just got so much more value. Fantastic addition. Please pass this on to Matt!

Many of Matt's 20,000-plus Twitter followers seem pretty excited too, judging from their comments. You can read those for yourself here ‒ if Twitter is your thing. In short, we're happy to have him aboard... and we hope you are, too.

A 'top-down approach'...

How does he do it?

Over the years, Matt has honed what he describes as a "top-down approach" to picking stocks. As he explains...

I'm looking at the megatrends throughout the world right now... I break those down into sectors and keep paring it down to individual stocks.

For example, consider the odds of picking a brick-and-mortar retailer that's going to be successful in the next 10 years. As Matt explains, they're not very good. Instead...

I'd rather be picking a stock that supplies auto parts to electric vehicles in the next 10 years because the demand for EVs will rise by 25 times or 30 times in the next five years. You're putting more odds in your favor when you do a top-down approach.

I want people to think long-term, big picture... Invest in companies for big winners.

I'm probably a bit biased – and not just because he was a sports nut as a kid like me – but Matt's investing approach appeals to me...

You're reading words from a guy, after all, who today has a piece of paper near his desk with what I think will be the next big investable trends of the next 10 or 20 years...

But Matt has what I don't have – and what most individual investors don't either... the proven ability to find the needles in the big haystack, the companies that will grow investments 10 times over or more... like the next Amazon (AMZN) or Google (GOOGL).

As Matt puts it...

I love small companies. I love finding the next big breakout, before it's a household name.

He has also gone to 'stock market school'...

As we've written before, basic personal finance, much less the next logical step – investing, and making your money work for you – is one of the very important "things they don't teach you in school."

Turns out, they don't even teach you in business school how to practically invest. Matt has an MBA from the University of Colorado and says...

An MBA doesn't teach you about the stock market. It teaches you how to be a CFO of a Fortune 500 company, and there's only 500 positions out there. But there's no real school of the stock market.

The school of the stock market is you go about it your own way and you figure it out. Losing money is your tuition, figuring it out the hard way. And I paid a lot of tuition to the school of the stock market, I'll tell you that.

Readers who have been around Stansberry Research for years know that "There's no such thing as teaching, there's only learning" is one of our founder Porter Stansberry's concepts for successful investing.

You can't put a price tag on learning on your own...

One reason – you can take what you learn and turn it into exponential returns in many walks of life, be it in picking a stock, running a business, or having better relationships with family and friends.

To me, learning is like earning a dividend and compounding interest over time...

And part of "stock market school" is listening to people who have been there before and have made mistakes that you don't want to make... and have lived to tell the tale for others.

They've failed just enough... so maybe you don't have to. Anyone with a nugget of life experience will tell you that failing is not entirely a bad thing, but we'd argue you don't need to fail completely either to learn a valuable lesson.

One lesson to learn from Matt has to do with selling a stock...

And more precisely, that lesson is why you might not want to sell a stock too early.

It makes sense when you think about it... The chance of getting 1,000% gains over the long term by selling quick has to be low, but that's what many new investors do when they see "green on the screen." As Matt says...

Americans in general have this get-rich-quick mentality. We say, "I'm up 50%, get out," without realizing many big winners have had major pullbacks along the way.

I always use Amazon as an example... It didn't go straight up...

A $10,000 investment in Amazon could have been worth $15 million in a matter of 25 years. That's life-changing. However, how many times did it pull back at least 25%? Can you withstand that many pullbacks? Most people can't. They freak out and sell too soon.

The one thing for me is if I buy a stock, I'll only sell it if the reason why I bought that company changes. In that case, whether it's up, down, or sideways, I'll sell it.

Wise words... for any part of the markets and any type of investor.

In the long term, if your belief in a company hasn't changed, why are you selling? It's probably your emotions talking. If you don't have a good reason to sell, you might want to hold instead.

You have to know where to buy, though...

And today, Matt says if you are a long-term investor, you want to look at the "convergence of technologies" happening right now...

Like a blockchain label ending up on his suit... and what that says about how the technology could be used in other industries.

Same with popular buzzwords like artificial intelligence ("AI")... or quantum computing.

Many people have heard these terms, but few understand how they are hitting the "real world" today... how they might propel the economy in the future... and the companies whose valuations might rise because of it.

Take Matt's view on search-engine giant Google, for instance, and how when you type one letter into the search bar, "it" often knows what you are looking for...

Google is an AI machine. That's what Google really is. It's built on artificial intelligence. All of these industries are here already, they're just not here in your face.

But, again, here's the important point... By the time they are "in your face," the biggest money has already been made from owning shares of these companies building the future.

What's next?

As we mentioned near the start of today's Digest, Matt is marking his debut with Stansberry Research in an all-new video event next week...

On Wednesday, October 20, at 1 p.m. Eastern time, you'll have the chance to meet Matt... hear where he thinks stocks are going next... and hear his next big prediction... one that none of our other analysts are talking about right now.

You'll also hear the name of a tiny company that we at Stansberry Research have never covered before – for free. And just for signing up for the event, you will also get access to a brand-new report from Matt, "How 100X Ideas Are Possible... If You Know Where to Look."

This is just the start for Matt's offerings to you...

Alliance members, you will have access to all of Matt's research, and you should have received an e-mail earlier this week directing you to Matt's first opportunity under our umbrella.

And all of our readers and subscribers can expect to read more from Matt – and see and hear him in videos and podcasts from us moving ahead. Investing can often seem complicated, but Matt says he plans to "show that the average person can do it."

He'll show that on Wednesday, too. If you tune into the event, you'll see the actual brokerage account of one of his followers, which shows gains of 1,758%... 1,638%... 1,473%... all since the beginning of only last year.

We'll also introduce you to more people who've made hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single recommendation from Matt.
