These investment strategies sound absolutely crazy… until you look at the returns

If you want to increase your overall return on investment, today’s show is a must-listen.

But you have to be willing to venture where other investors fear to go… and try unconventional ideas.

My guest is Chris Mayer, editor of Bonner Private Portfolio, an investment research service from Bonner & Partners.

Chris is an incredible stock analyst with over 20 years’ experience. He always provides unique investment insight during our interviews. And, based on your feedback, he’s one of my most popular guests.

Chris shares two of his favorite sectors to invest in… which are completely off Wall Street’s radar… and highlights several names within these sectors you should be buying right now.
