From somewhere near the North Pole

From somewhere near the North Pole     December 27, 2015 Happy Holidays, fellow Fools! I hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday season. With thoughts of reindeer still fresh in our minds, I want to share some insights from a two-year investigation that brought me face-to-face with a Rudolph wannabe (see below) and deep inside an emerging industry: The Internet of Things. The potential impacts of this new technology are truly massive, and I'm excited to share some of the surrounding opportunities with you. Many of you will be receiving a special email series over the next several days with all the details. My research for this project has led me all over the world, including to a small town north of the Arctic Circle. What does this reindeer have to do with the Internet of Things? You can click below to access a brief video report that demonstrates some of the amazing applications of this new technology, interviews of important players in this emerging industry, and, yes ... irrefutable video proof that I really did feed a reindeer in the frigid Arctic winter.   Full coverage of the world's largest tech show coming soon Next week we'll be taking a break from this column as I travel on to the next stop on my journey to uncover ahead-of-the-curve investing ideas. I'm excited to announce that I'll be back on Jan. 10 with in-depth coverage of the International Consumer Electronics Show - the world's largest technology gathering - live from Las Vegas. This is where all the biggest players in tech unveil their latest prototypes. It's a great way to get a glimpse at the next trends in tech before they go mainstream. I'm especially excited to get a chance to test some of the latest ideas connected to the Internet of Things. I'll be there to fill you in on all these upcoming trends and provide insight into how you can position your portfolio to profit from these ideas ... before the secret is out. Until next time Fools, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Fool on, Eric Bleeker, CFA P.S. If you didn't already give it a watch, I urge you to watch the video report I've enclosed above.
