    The Next Tesla? These Air Mobility Stocks Are Up Nearly 300% - 7/18

    The Flying Car Boom Has Lift-Off


    These Stocks Are Up Triple Digits—And the Trend Is Just Getting Started


    Last October, we told readers to keep a close eye on the emerging flying car market, pointing specifically to two stocks with revolutionary potential: Joby Aviation (JOBY) and Archer Aviation (ACHR).


    At the time, both companies were virtually unknown to most investors—buried under skepticism, regulatory hurdles, and years of R&D delays.


    Today? They’re flying high.


    Since our initial alert:



    • Joby Aviation (JOBY) has surged from $5.50 to $16.88 — a 207% gain.




    • Archer Aviation (ACHR) has rocketed from $3.15 to $12.42 — a stunning 294% move.




    But here’s the key: this trend is still in its early stages. With powerful catalysts in place and global momentum building, flying cars—or more accurately, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft—may be one of the most important investment themes of the next decade.








    Catalyst No. 1: White House Support


    One of the biggest recent tailwinds for flying car stocks came straight from the top.


    President Trump just signed a series of executive orders designed to slash regulatory red tape and accelerate the rollout of drone and eVTOL technologies across the U.S.


    “Flying cars are not just for the Jetsons,” said Michael Kratsios, Trump’s top tech advisor. “Since the beginning of his first term, President Trump has recognized the incredible potential of drones to boost American productivity, create high-skilled jobs and meet national needs…”



    These new policies aim to streamline approvals, fast-track public-private partnerships, and fund next-gen transportation innovation across the U.S.—including contracts with the Department of Defense and FAA.


    That’s not just political posturing. It’s a clear signal that Washington sees eVTOLs as a national priority—and that bodes well for the companies building them.

    Terrifying reason Trump killed the U.S. penny?


    It’s perhaps the most common coin in existence.


    I’m talking about the U.S. penny.


    Recently, President Trump decided to kill the coin, for good reason. It now costs 4 cents to make a single penny. Which means the government is losing 3 cents on every one it mints.

    But the truth behind Trump’s decision may be stranger than you think.

    You see, the U.S. is facing a looming shortage that could cripple the economy with runaway inflation... and send one tiny clutch of investments soaring in the weeks ahead.

    Former White House Advisor, Jim Rickards, just came forward to share this startling story.

    Along with the reason why millionaires and billionaires are moving a vast sum of money into a little-understood corner of the stock market.

    Catalyst No. 2: A $170 Billion Market Opportunity


    Analysts at Precedence Research estimate the global eVTOL market could be worth $170 billion by 2034, driven by demand for:



    • Urban air taxis to ease gridlocked cities




    • Military troop deployments




    • Medical evacuations and emergency rescue operations




    • Airport transfers and tourism routes




    And countries around the world are pouring capital into the sector.

    🔹 Joby Aviation Is Rapidly Expanding




    • Saudi Arabia Deal: Joby signed a strategic partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel to expand its footprint in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia’s futuristic NEOM city—being designed with flying cars in mind.




    • Toyota Backing: Toyota has invested $250 million into Joby and remains a key strategic partner. That relationship could give Joby a massive edge in mass production and supply chain infrastructure.




    • U.S. Manufacturing Milestone: Joby also opened a new pilot production facility in Marina, California, and has plans to deliver units to the U.S. Air Force under the Agility Prime program.




    🔹 Archer Aviation Is Going Global




    • UAE Launch: With regulatory support from Abu Dhabi, Archer plans to launch its Midnight eVTOL aircraft in the UAE later this year.




    • Africa Expansion: Archer is teaming up with Ethiopian Airlines, aiming to capture early-mover advantage in East Africa’s fast-growing air mobility market.




    • China-UAE Connection: Even China is in the mix—Chinese developer TCab Tech just signed a $1 billion agreement with UAE-based Autocraft for 350 of its E20 aircraft.




    These moves highlight something important: Flying cars are no longer science fiction. They're a global infrastructure play—and the investment opportunity is massive.










    Catalyst No. 3: The First eVTOL Airport-to-Airport Flight


    If you’re still unsure whether flying cars are real or just vaporware, consider this milestone:


    Vertical Aerospace just completed the world’s first airport-to-airport flight by a full-scale eVTOL aircraft.



    • The aircraft, a VX4 tilt-rotor prototype, flew 17 miles from Cotswold Airport to RAF Fairford in the UK.




    • It reached 1,800 feet and speeds up to 115 mph, flying under the oversight of the UK Civil Aviation Authority.




    • The goal: prove that eVTOLs can be safely integrated into existing airport and air traffic operations.




    This is the kind of regulatory and technological breakthrough that brings eVTOLs one step closer to mainstream transportation.


    And with companies like Joby and Archer next in line for certification and deployment, investors may want to act before Wall Street fully prices in what’s coming.
