Dear Strategic Tech Investor Reader, 

I've been saying for a while now that Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) stock could hit $250 by 2020.

A lot of folks have said that's nuts. After all, it's hard to believe that a social-media platform once best known for sharing cute cat pictures so quickly found a place among the 10 biggest companies - by market cap - in the world.

But we just saw Facebook shares skyrocket another 10%+ - to an all-time high of $120.79 - after its first-quarter results handily beat analyst expectations for revenue and profits.

While I haven't seen anyone else put a $250 price target on FB yet, at least 10 investment firms did respond by boosting their "marks" for Facebook's shares.

Team Zuckerberg's earnings report was, indeed, very impressive.

Despite some slumps here and there, revenue for the first quarter was up nearly 50% from the same time a year ago.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that people around the world tend to spend more than 50 minutes per day on Facebook's various platforms.

You may think the end of the road is near for Facebook. You may ask yourself: How many more people can it sign up - and how much more can it "juice" out of them?

Here's how.

Facebook is quickly becoming one of the strongest "content" companies in the world. We can see that in its mobile ad growth - it's now 82% of Facebook's total revenue, 9% up from the 73% reported a year ago.

And it gets almost all of the content it provides for free... from you and me.

Plus, Zuckerberg has only just begun to "monetize" some of his larger "add-ons" - including Instagram photo sharing, Oculus Rift virtual reality and instant messaging.

Once you add it all up, a 114% gain in four years starts to sound conservative. (Of course, we'll have to adjust that number if Zuckerberg does go through with his plans for an FB stock split.)

Now, share-price gains aren't the only way to make money in the stock market. And I want to show you one of your other options on Tuesday.

And this one involves cash.

I'll see you then.

Have a great weekend.
