      "We're going to bring back the American Dream... bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before." - President Donald Trump

      During Trump's first term, 8 million Americans became millionaires despite constant resistance from Democrats and even some Republicans in his cabinet.

      Now, with Republicans controlling both houses and the Fed cutting rates, everything is aligned for even greater growth.

    Clover Health is a Medicare Advantage insurer. Shares went public less than a year ago via a SPAC merger, as the company is focused on expanding digital healthcare options.
    Action to take: The company grew revenues by 66 percent last year, but is still a ways away from turning a profit. That could continue to weigh on the share price. Company insiders also still own about 25 percent of shares, but could also add to selling pressure.

    That makes this option a solid way to play the downtrend in the SPAC space, a likely slowdown in digital healthcare trends as the pandemic recedes, and a reasonable hedge against any market hiccup in the next few months.
