Are you tired of all the market volatility? Sick of watching our stocks jump one day and then crash again the next? Losing sleep over your portfolio?
你厌倦了所有的市场波动吗？厌倦了看着我们的股票一天暴涨，第二天又暴跌？因为你的投资组合而失眠？
If so, then you're going to want to hear this.
如果是这样的话，你会想听这个的。
The best-kept secret on Wall Street is that if you really want to make big money in the market, you need to ignore near-term volatility.
华尔街保守得最好的秘密是，如果你真的想要在市场上赚大钱，你需要忽略近期波动性。
Forget inflation and the Fed. Forget the Russia-Ukraine war and Covid-19. And forget supply chain disruptions and labor shortages.
忘掉通胀和美联储吧。忘掉俄乌战争和新冠肺炎吧。忘了供应链中断和劳动力短缺吧。
The best way to become a millionaire in the market isn't to buy oil for a tariff-induced 20% pop. And it's not to short bonds for a 15% gain because the Fed is hiking rates.
在市场上成为百万富翁的最好方法不是吗以关税导致的20%的涨幅购买石油。而且，做空债券并不是为了获得15%的收益，因为美联储正在加息。
Those are fine trades. There's nothing wrong with them — outside of the fact that they aren't going to make you a millionaire. They're going to make the rich richer, and that's about it. For those of us investing $10,000 into single stocks, those "trades" will make us a whopping $2,000 or $3,000.
这些都是不错的交易。他们没有什么问题--除了他们不是会让你成为百万富翁。他们会让富人变得更富有，仅此而已。对于我们这些将1万美元投资于单一股票的人来说，这些“交易”将使我们获得2,000或3,000美元的巨额收入。
Cool? Sure. Life-changing? Far from it.
凉爽的?好的。改变人生？差得远呢。
So… how do we go about scoring mind-blowing returns in the stock market? We ignore the noise!
所以…我们如何在股市中获得令人惊叹的回报？我们忽略了噪音！
Ignore the Market Noise
忽略市场噪音
Let me let you in on a little secret. The best way to become an investment millionaire is to find a small group of startups that have world-changing potential. Buy those stocks, and simply wait for them to, indeed, change the world.
让我告诉你一个小秘密。成为投资百万富翁的最好方法是找到一小群具有改变世界潜力的初创公司。买入这些股票，然后简单地等待它们真正改变世界。
Doing just that with computer stocks Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the 1980s would've turned a $10,000 investment in each into more than $46 million today.
计算机股就是这样做的微软(纳斯达克：MSFT)和苹果(纳斯达克：AAPL)在20世纪80年代，每一项投资都会变成10,000美元以上4600万美元今天。
Had you done it with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in the late 1990s, you'd have turned $10,000 into more than $16 million. And if you'd done it with Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) in the late 2000s, you'd have turned $10,000 into $3 million. A $10,000 investment into EV maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in the early 2010s would be worth more than $2 million today.
你有没有做过这件事亚马逊(纳斯达克：AMZN)在20世纪90年代末，你会把1万美元变成1600多万美元。如果你用一种网飞(纳斯达克：NFLX)在本世纪头十年末，你会把1万美元变成300万美元。向电动汽车制造商投资1万美元特斯拉(纳斯达克：特斯拉在2010年代初)今天的价值将超过200万美元。
We're literally talking about millionaire-maker opportunities here. We aren't talking about making 7% per year with an index fund or collecting 3% dividends on Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO). At that rate, you'd turn $10,000 into a million bucks by… wait for it… 2091.
我们在这里谈论的是成为百万富翁的机会。我们不是在谈论用指数基金每年赚7%或收取3%的股息可口可乐纽约证券交易所代码：高松年)。按照这个速度，你会在…上把10,000美元变成一百万美元等着看吧…2091年。
Most folks don't want to wait until they've been passed for decades to become millionaires. They want the opportunity to turn thousand-dollar investments into million-dollar paydays over the course of 10, 15 or 20 years.
大多数人不想等到几十年后才成为百万富翁。他们希望有机会在10年、15年或20年内将1000美元的投资转化为100万美元的发薪日。

A New Type of Battery to Change the World
一种改变世界的新型电池
One of the world's most hyped-up investment megatrends these days is the Electric Vehicle Revolution. That is, investors and consumers alike seem convinced that the world is rapidly shifting toward electric cars, busses, planes, and more. Everything's going electric! This is especially true in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine increasing fossil fuel costs to unbearable levels.
这些天来，世界上最炒作的投资大趋势之一是电动汽车革命。也就是说，投资者和消费者似乎都相信，世界正在迅速转向电动汽车、公交车、飞机等。一切都通电了！在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰将化石燃料成本推高至无法承受的水平之后，情况尤其如此。
But, the plain truth about the EV Revolution is that everything won't go electric until we make better batteries.
但是，关于电动汽车革命的一个显而易见的事实是，一切不会电动化直到我们制造出更好的电池.
To understand why, we need to take a quick trip back to chemistry class…
为了理解其中的原因，我们需要快速回到化学课…
Batteries comprise three things: a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte. Batteries work by promoting the flow of ions between the cathode and anode through the electrolyte.
电池由三部分组成：负极、负极和电解液。电池的工作原理是通过电解液促进离子在正负极之间的流动。
Conventional lithium-ion batteries are built on liquid battery chemistry. That is, they comprise a solid cathode and anode, with a liquid electrolyte solution connecting the two.
传统的锂离子电池是建立在液体电池化学基础上的。也就是说，它们由固体阴极和阳极组成，并用液体电解质溶液连接两者。
These batteries have worked wonders for years. But due to liquid electrolytes' physical constraints, they're now reaching their limit in terms of energy density. If we want our phones, watches and EVs to last longer and charge faster, we need a fundamentally different battery.
这些电池多年来一直发挥着神奇的作用。但由于液体电解液的物理限制，它们现在的能量密度达到了极限。如果我们想要我们的手机、手表和电动汽车使用更长时间，充电更快，我们需要一个从根本上不同的电池。
The Solid-State Battery's Immense Potential
固态电池的巨大潜力
Insert the solid-state battery.
插入固态电池。
With these batteries, the name pretty much says it all. Take the liquid electrolyte solution in conventional batteries. Compress it into a solid. Create a small, hyper-compact solid battery that, since it has zero wasted space, lasts far longer and charges far faster.
有了这些电池，这个名字几乎就说明了一切。以传统电池中的液体电解液为例。把它压缩成固体。创造一种小型、超紧凑的固态电池，因为它没有浪费空间，续航时间更长，充电速度也更快。
Of course, the implications of solid-state battery chemistry are huge.
当然，固态电池化学的影响是巨大的。
Solid-state batteries could allow our phones to sustain power for days or enable our smartwatches to fully charge in seconds. And they could even be the key that allows EVs to drive for thousands of miles without needing to recharge.
固态电池可以让我们的手机维持几天的电量，或者让我们的智能手表在几秒钟内充满电。它们甚至可能是让电动汽车无需充电就能行驶数千英里的关键。
That's why solid-state batteries are dubbed by insiders as "forever batteries." And it's why these batteries are the critical technology we need to propel the EV Revolution into its next phase of supercharged growth.
这就是为什么固态电池被业内人士戏称为“永远的电池“这就是为什么这些电池是我们推动电动汽车革命进入下一阶段增压增长所需的关键技术。
Huge Battery Breakthrough Reported Just Yesterday
昨天刚刚报道的巨型电池突破
While the theory behind solid-state batteries is exciting, the application of such next-generation tech has been essentially nonexistent to date.
虽然固态电池背后的理论令人兴奋，但这种下一代技术的应用到目前为止基本上还不存在。
Why? Two major challenges.
为什么？两大挑战。
First, solid-state batteries are exceptionally expensive to make. Second, they tend to short-circuit because of something called "dendrites." They're cracks that form in the solid electrolyte substance over time.
首先，固态电池的制造成本格外昂贵。其次，它们倾向于短路，因为有一种叫做“树突”的东西。它们是随着时间的推移在固体电解质物质中形成的裂缝。
But an exciting and promising tech startup by the name of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) is solving these problems as we speak.
但一家令人兴奋且前景看好的科技初创公司Quantumscape纽约证券交易所代码：QS)正在解决我们所说的这些问题。
Indeed, in its quarterly earnings report from just yesterday, QuantumScape confirmed that these once-mythical batteries will be a reality very soon.
事实上，就在昨天发布的季度收益报告中，Quantumscape证实，这些曾经神话般的电池很快就会成为现实。
In late 2020, QuantumScape published data that showed it had created a small solid-state battery that worked in real-world conditions. The company did this by developing a proprietary ceramic electrolyte with high dendritic resistance. Essentially, it allowed QuantumScape to create a solid-state battery that didn't form dendrites through charging cycles.
2020年末，Quantumscape公布的数据显示，它创造了一种小型固态电池，可以在现实世界中使用。该公司通过开发一种具有高树枝状电阻的专有陶瓷电解液做到了这一点。从本质上说，它允许Quantumscape创造出一种固态电池，在充电周期中不会形成树枝状结构。
The only problem? It was a very, very small battery that couldn't be used to power much of anything. Specifically, it was a single-layer battery cell.
唯一的问题是？这是一个非常，非常小电池，不能用来为很多东西供电。具体来说，这是一个单层电池单元。
QuantumScape's Lightspeed Progress
Quantumscape的光速进步
So, over the past 18 months, QuantumScape has worked tirelessly to scale up its tiny solid-state battery solution.
因此，在过去的18个月里，Quantumscape一直在不知疲倦地扩大其微型固态电池解决方案的规模。
As reported yesterday, the company's progress has been mind-bogglingly impressive.
正如昨天报道的那样，该公司的进展是令人难以置信的印象.
In late 2021, QuantumScape illustrated that its solid-state batteries performed in 4-layer formats up to 800 charging cycles. A quarter later, the company scaled successful results to 10-layer batteries up to 800 cycles. And just this past quarter, QuantumScape successfully demonstrated its 16-layer battery's successful results at over 500 cycles.
2021年末，Quantumscape展示了其固态电池以4层格式运行，充电周期高达800次。一个季度后，该公司将成功的结果扩展到10层电池，最高可循环800次。就在上个季度，Quantumscape成功地展示了其16层电池在500多次循环中的成功结果。
In other words, QuantumScape is sprinting toward the successful commercialization of forever batteries. Given the technical data reported yesterday, we firmly believe that QuantumScape will launch workable forever battery samples in 2022-23. And by 2030, this company will produce millions of batteries every year to power nearly everything.
换句话说，Quantumscape正在向永远电池的成功商业化冲刺。鉴于昨天公布的技术数据，我们坚信Quantumscape将在2022-23年推出可行的永久电池样品。到2030年，该公司每年将生产数百万块电池，为几乎所有东西提供动力。
It has been confirmed. The Forever Battery Revolution has arrived.
这一点已经得到证实。永远的电池革命已经到来。
QuantumScape stock offers one way to play this revolution. But it's far from the only one…
Quantumscape股票为这场革命提供了一种方式。但它远不是唯一一个…
