#4 - NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES)

If you have an appetite for Chinese stocks, NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) is definitely worth your attention. The company’s stock was already soaring when it posted its impressive first-quarter results. The company reported a revenue gain of 18% in the quarter, which is particularly noteworthy since the Chinese economy was being heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, NetEase was well positioned to stand out during a time when consumers were sheltered in place. To begin with, the company’s online gaming business, which accounts for nearly 80% of the company’s revenue, posted a 14% increase.

NetEase also saw strength from its spinoff, Youdao (NYSE:DAO). Although Youdao accounts for just 3% of the company’s total revenue, it grew at a 140% clip in the past year. The intelligent-learning company was a natural fit at a time when physical schools were closed.

NetEase’s other business units, including its online music business, grew over 28% on a year-over-year basis.

Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.
