I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis.
I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God.
I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree.
Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons.
I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA.
While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon..
In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God.
We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987).
From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting.
Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982.
I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects.
In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston.
In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.
Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia.
In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey.
As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.
Love and God Bless,
Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi

I want to address the one thing that might be holding you back.
The money.
$1,995 feels like a real number. It is. But here’s what most people don’t sit with long enough:
There is a 30-day See-It-Live guarantee on this. You join. You watch Blake trade live for 30 days. You see the Beacon fire every night at 6 PM Eastern with the next day’s setup. You sit in the Trading Room at 10 AM and watch the trades execute. And if it’s not exactly what we say it is — one email and every dollar comes back.
You are not risking $1,995. You are putting $1,995 down to watch a system that produced 453 winning trades, eleven winning months out of twelve, and turned $5,000 into $14,459 — live, in front of you, for 30 days.
If it holds up — and it will — you’re in for the year at $5.46 a day. With the Masterclass, six-week Mastermind, live Trading Room, Monthly Coaching, Futures 101, Gold Accelerator, and the A.I. Accelerator that only this cohort gets.
If it doesn’t — every dollar back.
The rare weekend extension closes Sunday at midnight Pacific.
P.S. $1,995 with a 30-day money-back guarantee against a system that just turned $5,000 into $14,459. The math on the risk is simple.Go here before Sunday midnight.

Few investments truly change people’s lives, but Nvidia (NVDA) did exactly that for some of Louis Navellier’s subscribers.
In today’s Friday Digest takeover, the legendary investor shares several remarkable stories from his readers who turned relatively modest Nvidia investments into six- and even seven-figure gains – including one subscriber whose original $42,000 position grew to more than $2 million.
But Louis says there’s a bigger lesson…
Long before AI dominated headlines, his Stock Grader system flagged NVDA for the same traits it always looks for: accelerating fundamentals, strong earnings revisions, and quiet institutional buying pressure building beneath the surface.
That’s the framework Louis still uses today – and now, he says, his system is identifying 53 smaller stocks showing similar early-stage signals.
Below, Louis explains why he believes the next generation of big AI winners may already be taking shape – and why the biggest gains often go to investors willing to get positioned before the crowd catches on.
If even one of these stocks delivers a fraction of Nvidia’s run, the upside could be extraordinary.
I’ll let Louis take it from here.
Imagine making 5,000% on a stock.
I’ll give you a moment with that number.
In real terms, a $10,000 investment becomes $500,000. A $20,000 investment becomes $1 million. A $50,000 investment — money that might otherwise be sitting in a savings account earning almost nothing — becomes $2.5 million.
Now, think of what you could do with that.
Pay off the house. Wipe out your kids’ student loans. Retire a few years early. Take the trip you’ve been putting off for a decade. Set up the grandkids with a heck of a graduation present.
Whatever it is that would change your life, or the lives of the people around you, that number could do it.
Sound impossible? I understand why you might think so.
But I want to introduce you to some people for whom it wasn’t.
See, last week, we crossed the 5,000% mark with one of my Growth Investorrecommendations.
The stock? Nvidia Corp. (NVDA).
It was a big deal, so when I sent the news to my subscribers, I asked them to write in and share what the ride had meant for them.
I was blown away by the responses. What they told me reminded me why I do this.
So, in this piece, I want to share a few of their stories. I’ll tell you how this recommendation came about, what I think happens next with NVIDIA – and, most importantly, what to do next.
Then, I’ll wrap things up by telling you why I believe the next generation of stories like these is already taking shape. That’s one of the reasons I hosted my 10X Fed Shock event earlier this week. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the replay yet, I think what I’m about to share will make you want to.
“I predict OpenAI will go public this year… and I’ve found a little-known way for you to get in BEFORE its shares go public—with as little as $10.” That’s the prediction of Silicon Valley insider Luke Lango. He says this single investment is your best chance to achieve the biggest gains this year… and set yourself up for even bigger gains in the years to come. Best of all, he’s sharing a ticker symbol which you can use to claim a stake right now – for FREE. Click here to learn more.
Nvidia Made These People Rich
“NVDA has made me wealthy — some people call it rich. I am sitting on over $2.1 million in unrealized gains on a basis of $42,000. But it’s better than that. I’ve been a Navellier subscriber since the 1990s, and it’s that which has really made me wealthy. Louis’s recommendations have done that for me. Hands down the best ROI of any investment product or manager I’ve ever seen or used. When I started investing with Louis, my trade size was $1,000. It grew to $5,000, then $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and now $100,000 as I reinvest my gains.”
— Jeff S.
“Louie, I can’t thank you enough for your recommendation of NVDA. I invested about $9,000 a few years ago and now it is worth about $340,000. I worked in a factory for over 40 years and never made over $35,000 a year. Thanks to you, I learned how to save and invest. We have gone on trips, given money to charity, and given shares to family for Christmas and other occasions. We are now worth over $3,000,000. The system works every time if you just stick to it and don’t quit when there is a correction.”
— Tom S.
“I’ve been following your Growth Investoradvice for many years and recently upgraded to Omnia member. I purchased NVDA in June 2019 on your advice for $3.73 and added to it at $7.34 in February 2020. What a fantastic win. But my portfolio looked terribly unbalanced at this point. It occurred to me to gift each of my four nephews and nieces 100 shares of NVDA. Thanks to you, I’ve become their Favorite Aunt. For a couple of them, it was their first exposure to owning stocks. I hope I’ve opened their eyes to new possibilities for building wealth.”
— Sue M.
How It Started
Oddly, Nvidia started out as what I’d call a “story stock” for me. I originally recommended it in May 2016 after visiting my son at Stanford. The school debuted a self-driving race car named Shelley, built using chips from a company most investors hadn’t paid much attention to yet. The name on those chips was Nvidia.
I’ll be transparent with you. I sold the stock after locking in a solid gain. At the time, it felt like the right call.
But I re-added it to our Buy List over at Growth Investor in May 2019. Back then, the AI buildout we’re living through today was not on anyone’s radar. But my Stock Grader system flagged it the way it flags every stock: strong earnings revisions, phenomenal surprise history, accelerating sales.
The model doesn’t care about stories. It cares about numbers. And Nvidia’s numbers were extraordinary.
They still are.
What the Numbers Say Now
I want to be honest with you. I’ve been at this for nearly 50 years, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Not in terms of speed. Not in terms of scale. Not in terms of how completely one company has become the backbone of a technological revolution that is still, by my estimation, in the early innings.
Jensen Huang’s team recently reported sales up over 100% year over year. Again. The order backlog keeps growing. The data center business keeps expanding. Every major hyperscaler on Earth is lining up to buy more Nvidia silicon. And the replacement cycle for Blackwell chips hasn’t even started in earnest.
So what do we do now?
We hold.
I know that might sound anticlimactic after a 5,000% gain. But when a stock scores this high in my fundamental model, when the earnings revisions keep moving in the right direction and the order backlog keeps getting bigger, I don’t look for the exit. I keep my head down and I stick with it.
What’s clear to me is that Nvidia isn’t resting on its success. The company has plans for robotics, self-driving, quantum computing, and more.
Add it all up, and I believe NVDA will hit $300 per share by the end of 2026 and $500 per share by the end of the decade.
To put it simply: this is a stock that could make you rich, folks. If it hasn’t already.
The Secret to Life-Changing Gains
I’m not sharing these stories to brag.
I’m sharing them because I want you to understand something important about how wealth like this actually gets built.
Nvidia was not a household name when I recommended it. It’s easy to forget that, because today everyone, everywhere in the financial media talks about it… all the time.
But back in 2019, only video game enthusiasts knew about Nvidia chips for their superior graphics. It was just a smaller company doing some interesting stuff.
But it showed up in my Stock Grader system with exactly the right combination of signals: strong and improving fundamentals… and institutional money beginning to move in quietly ahead of the headlines.
That’s it. That’s the whole secret.
The next Nvidia won’t announce itself either. It won’t be a name you already know. It won’t be a stock your neighbor is talking about at a barbecue.
By the time a company reaches the kind of size and visibility that makes it feel “safe” to buy, the window for the biggest gains has usually already begun to close.
The investors who built the kind of wealth you just read about got there by being early.
Not reckless. Not speculative. Early. Positioned before the crowd figured it out.
And here’s the thing about being early. You can’t do it by gut feel. You can’t do it by following the news.
You need a machine that is scanning thousands of stocks every single week, looking for the specific combination of signals that tend to show up before the price starts to take off.
That’s what Stock Grader does. That’s what it did with Nvidia. And that’s what it’s doing right now…
What Comes Next
Right now, my system has flagged 53 stocks showing those same early signals. Strong fundamentals. Building institutional buying pressure. Consistent top rankings month after month.
Most of them are names you’ve probably never heard of. They’re too small for the big Wall Street funds to touch. But they’re not too small for my system, and they’re not too small for you.
Small-cap stocks – like the ones I recommend in my Breakthrough Stocks service – are already on fire. The Russell 2000 is up 38% over the past year. And I believe we are at the beginning of a sustained tailwind for exactly this corner of the market.
I lay out the full case in my new 10X Fed Shock video. And I include my highest-conviction picks from that list.
If you haven’t watched the replay yet, I’d encourage you to do it today.
The next group of winners is already showing up in my system. If even one of these stocks does a fraction of what Nvidia has done, the stories that come out of it could look a lot like the ones you just read.
P.S. The subscriber stories Louis shares in today’s issue are genuinely remarkable — but what stood out to me most is how often the same theme comes up: These investors got positioned early, before Nvidia became a household name. That’s exactly what Louis believes may be happening again right now in a new group of smaller stocks his system is flagging. If you haven’t watched the replay of his 10X Fed Shock video yet, I’d encourage you to do that here.

Why Traders are Suddenly Looking at Costa Rica Real Estate
Karim Rahemtulla | Co-Founder | Monument Traders Live
Dear Reader,
Just over a week ago, I spent three days traveling through Costa Rica alongside a pair of international real estate scouts from Ronan McMahon’s Real Estate Trend Alert team.
We toured multi-million-dollar properties in master-planned communities built to resemble Italian hill towns…
Walked golden-sand beaches bustling with folks in what was supposed to be off-season…
And saw the sites of new projects that you won’t find by searching online…
And I came away with a very different perspective on international real estate…
Most people think of Costa Rica as a lifestyle destination.
Beaches. Surf towns. Vacation homes.
But Ronan looks at these markets the same way you and I would look at a chart before a breakout.
He looks for constrained supply, infrastructure shifts, rising demand, pricing disconnects, and asymmetric upside.
What I saw on the ground – and what the RETA team has been reporting on in Costa Rica for some time – is fascinating.
Especially in one market that may be the last chance at true beachfront property in Costa Rica… ever.
P.S. I’ve known Ronan personally and professionally for more than 20 years… there’s no one I trust more when it comes to investing in real estate, whether at home or abroad. I hope you join us on Tuesday.

Don here. The cohort locked Thursday at 1 PM, and by Friday morning my inbox was full of traders asking if there was a waitlist or a backdoor in.
There is not one, and I do not reopen closed cohorts for marketing reasons. I reopened this one because the demand was real and I would rather get you in than tell you no.
The door is back open through Sunday at midnight Pacific, and after that the A.I. Accelerator and the cohort price are both gone.
The 9:30 grinder wakes up Monday and reacts to whatever the algos throw at the open, while the 10-percenter already has Monday’s trade drawn from Sunday evening.
The bond market broke today. That changes everything heading into Monday.
The 10-year interest rate gapped from 4.45% to 4.6% on heavy volume. You rarely see a move that size in a single session.
It happened on the same day Kevin Warsh took over as the new Fed Chair. He inherited a mess on day one.
The S&P closed down 1.3% and got smoked into the cash close. Bonds, oil, the dollar, and broken correlation are all waving red flags at the same time.
Tonight’s video walks through the four signals I cannot ignore heading into next week:
The 10-year gapped from 4.45% to 4.6% in a single session. Bonds breached lower on heavy volume, and 5% on rates is back in play.
Oil pushed back above $100 a barrel while CPI and PPI both came in red hot this week. Inflationary pressure is rebuilding fast.
The US dollar ripped higher for the fourth straight session. Smart money is in full duck and cover mode, dumping bonds and bidding the greenback.
The SPX implied move jumped from $110 to $136 for next week. The three day expected move already sits at $62 with no major earnings or economic data on the calendar.
Correlation is still broken. Apple closed near the upper edge of its expected move while the S&P tanked into the close.
Money keeps rotating into Costco, Adobe, and Microsoft instead of leaving the market entirely. No one is buying hedges, which tells me complacency has not cracked yet.
Markets are a heavily leveraged carry trade. If rates keep climbing, deleveraging starts whether anyone likes it or not.
I tried to put positions on today and had a tough time getting filled. Bid offer spreads were wider than I have seen in weeks.
If we get a bounce on Monday, I plan to fade it. In tonight’s video I walk through exactly why and the levels I am watching on bonds, oil, and the dollar to confirm the setup.
