Time is running out and you may not get a second chance to join. Because Team Tom and David Gardner are about to reveal their new stock picks on Friday April 21st. Now, long-time members of Motley Fool Stock Advisor know from experience that it's time to pay close attention. Because many of them watched as David guided investors through 5 simple trades that turned $5,000 into $231,540. This chart tells the story of those trades: ![Watchlist Watchlist](https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/IxLafxybLM8Wv-XbdnGiwYK_7t29Od-h9Zg0F43GnQnWN-tVe1lhCuU-oyDxtUVQ2W8QkN9pLNY_gGvwSNfxmgTjLw6s8w-OxxBEd-uRrlXjYxDR_Tu7ZOre_imQdw=s0-d-e1-ft#http://g.foolcdn.com/art/shop/newsletters/tmf/chart-nflx-hybrid-2015.png)
Each circle on that chart represents a stock-pick Friday when David told Stock Advisor members to buy Netflix. And as you can see, people who followed that Netflix advice did extremely well. If you had invested just $1,000 on each of those five Fridays, you would have $231,540 today. But there's no need for me to cherry-pick returns here. It's as simple as this... Team Tom and David Gardner's average pick in Motley Fool Stock Advisor (their stock recommendation service) is up 229%, while the S&P 500 during the same period is up just 68%. In other words, their average pick has nearly tripled the stock market's return for more than a decade. To state the obvious, you don't triple the stock market's return over 13+ years by getting lucky. And that's exactly why people are so excited about the upcoming picks. Now, you can't go back to 2004 and invest in Netflix. But you can join today and be among the first people to hear about David and Team Tom's newest stock picks. Unfortunately, if you don't take action right now, you won't get them. Because I can only send these picks to members of Motley Fool Stock Advisor. But don't worry — it's not too late yet. You still have a little time left to join. Just don’t delay, because the stock picks come out at noon on Friday and you do not want to miss this opportunity. Now, you've probably been thinking about joining The Motley Fool for awhile. You're ready to start investing like a pro. You want your money to work for you. You would love to give your family the gift of true financial security and freedom. Because it's not about money... it's about improving the quality of life. And whether you want to buy a vacation home, a sailboat, or simply pay tuition for your kids and grandkids... It simply isn't possible without money. And investing is the best way I know to create that kind of wealth. Now, I know you're ready to take your financial performance to the next level... But something is holding you back from taking the next step and joining Motley Fool Stock Advisor. If you haven't had a chance to read the emails I sent you earlier this week... You might wonder why now is the right time to join Stock Advisor. Well, while timing isn't everything, the history of David and Team Tom's stock picks shows that it has paid to get in early. Just consider this: If I'd sent you this email on June 7, 2002... hours before David recommended Marvel, and you'd acted immediately, you'd be up 5,908% today. Or on May 21, 2004, right before David first recommended Priceline. You'd be up 7,408% today. Or — more recently — on February 17, 2012... just moments before Team Tom announced their recommendation of WisdomTree Investments? You'd be up 2%. If you had invested just $1,000 in each of those stocks, you'd be sitting on over $136,000 today. And loyal followers of David and Team Tom who invested more did even better — a $5,000 in each of those ideas would be worth well over $680,000 today. It's time to stop waiting. There will never be a "perfect" moment to make the changes you've been wanting to make. Why don't you make today the day you take your first step towards your new life by joining Motley Fool Stock Advisor? Simply click this link for details on how you can join Stock Advisor. By joining today, you will lock-in your membership and ensure that you get the upcoming stock recommendation.

What’s driving North Korea’s nuclear program? I’m Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today. | |

TOP STORIESHonor, Our Commander in Chief and an ‘Axis of Evil’ President Trump said he would be “honored” to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “under the right circumstances,” which the White House later added don’t exist right now. So what is Pyongyang after as it develops nuclear weapons and missiles? One longtime analyst says the ultimate goal is reuniting the Korean peninsula under its own terms, and that means first driving a wedge between Seoul and Washington.
Wall Off Mexico? First, the White House Fence President Trump’s border wall has been a cornerstone of his rallies, and just this Saturday, he said, “We will build a wall, folks, don’t even worry about it.” But will it ever get built? For many Republicans in Congress and administration officials, “the wall” has become a catchall for border security, rather than a permanent physical structure. Even so, the $1-trillion deal to keep the government running doesn’t include money for new fencing or new border agents. One barrier it does fund: upgrades to the fence around the White House.
More Politics — Congress is on track to deliver to Trump his first big bipartisan agreement this week with the $1-trillion spending bill, but don’t expect other major legislative accomplishments any time soon. — Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue rolled back stricter nutritional standards for school lunches that were championed by former First Lady Michelle Obama. — Trump followed up his comments about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War with a tweet that appeared to defend them.
Once Demoted, Later Promoted, in the Sheriff’s Department One L.A. County sheriff’s official was suspended for a month in 1999, department documents show, after making false statements and putting false information into records. Another was demoted in 2008 after authorizing a deputy to fire a Taser at an inmate who then fell from a jail bunk. Despite their histories of serious discipline, Sheriff Jim McDonnell recently promoted them to high-ranking positions — at a time when he’s gone to court to try to fire several deputies.
A Dangerous Pursuit of the Truth in Mexico Mexico is on track to have its most recorded homicides ever. It’s also become the third-deadliest country in the world for journalists, after Syria and Afghanistan. Times foreign correspondent Kate Linthicum traveled to Tijuana to see how those who report on the misdeeds of drug cartels or the government keep going under constant threat.
A Nail-Biter in Hollywood In true Hollywood fashion, it was a cliffhanger — this one with an apparently happy ending. After negotiations stretched past a midnightMonday deadline, the Writers Guild of America has reached a deal with the major studios and networks for a new film and TV contract. That would avert the first writers strike in nearly a decade and avoid widespread disruption to productions nationwide.
MUST-WATCH VIDEO — Thousands of pro- and anti-Trump supporters demonstrated in downtown L.A., but things stayed relatively calm thanks to the LAPD’s preparation. | |

CALIFORNIA— Police in San Diego say a man who opened fire on a pool party was distraught over a recent breakup and there is “zero information to indicate that race played a factor.”
— The contest to become the next governor is already awash in cash. This graphic shows one candidate got donations from Trump supporter Peter Thiel and Democratic backer George Soros.
— A turnover of leadership at the California High-Speed Rail Authority could signal a shake-up as it wrestles with higher costs and construction falling behind schedule.
— A report says an oil drilling site at a Westside golf course has flouted city rules by repeatedly installing new equipment without city approval.
— A shallow magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck Santa Monica and West L.A. late Monday. | |

OPINION— Hulu’s “Handmaid’s Tale” isn’t timely because of Trump. It’s timely because we live in a liberal elite dystopia that already matches Margaret Atwood’s vision.
— This writer has a soft spot for Reagan. Will her kids have one for Trump? | |

ONLY IN CALIFORNIASan Francisco has a lot of old bars, but the Saloon in North Beach is one of the oldest with a paper trail that dates to 1861. Outside is bouncer Greg Stathes, who says he has snapped more than 30,000 photos of people and events in neighboring Fresno Alley. Inside, there’s 15-year regular Paul Nachtsheim, who said that at first, “I was little afraid to come here. It looked rough. But I love blues.” It’s just one stop on our travel staff’s ever-growing California Bucket List. Be brave.

Let us know by voting here.

REPUBLICAN Senator Pushing For Gun Confiscation?Has the world gone nuts?! State Sen. Brian Boquist is pushing a new bill that blatantly violates the constitution. Want to know what’s even worse? ![](https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/xkH2PLEn8v2vyMKpE7lQAotA1NQRuG13fgDusEoyEzA7xcab0c9O1MWd7QQ88kVPyRybm82AerpaF1LASizsve5X-2Refs3HCue7xreAXkSKnW7DhPOCUwewtqFn8MAe_dKR_NKHJCg=s0-d-e1-ft#http://wpuploadz.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/27212219/2_armsup.jpg)
This new bill would allow for the gov’t to confiscate your weapons… solely on third-party allegations! Basically, it would be enough for someone to call your police dept. and say that you’re feeling “depressed” or “suicidal” or acting “unusual”… …And that would be enough for them to confiscate your weapon for an ENTIRE YEAR! If you want to know how to defend yourself against these insane upcoming gun laws… And how to legally acquire guns “off the books” without leaving a paper trail... This article explains what you have to do. To your protection, Frank Mitchell Father, Veteran, Patriot P.S. Republican or Democrat – it’s all a big show these days. They may claim to uphold the constitution… but as we see, it’s all a play for TV ratings. Here’s how to keep your guns no matter what.

TOP STORIESDisciplined sheriff’s officials get promoted Despite having histories of serious discipline within the department, two L.A. sheriff’s officials were recently promoted. The action runs the risk of “putting people in supervisory positions who are compromised,” said Sam Walker, a retired criminal justice professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. “People know their records,” he said, adding that it is difficult for supervisors to punish one of their underlings if they themselves have a history of serious discipline. Los Angeles Times
May Day protests fill downtown L.A. The electronic screen hanging over a stage outside City Hall in downtown Los Angeles on Monday morning seemed to encapsulate the message of this year’s May Day protests in one word: Resist. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Monday in a series of protests that took aim at President Trump’s policies on immigrants here illegally. Los Angeles Times
Who is funding the candidates? The small field of candidates hoping to succeed Gov. Jerry Brown next year has been raking in cash. So far the five candidates have raised more than $20 million, with Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom raising $11.8 million. Asian American business leaders have contributed large sums to John Chiang, while Antonio Villaraigosa has reached out to wealthy Angelenos. Los Angeles Times
Losing the housing race Developers in California are adding homes, relative to population growth, at a far higher pace than in recent years. But it’s still below what experts believe would be enough to keep up with California’s growing population, which topped 39.5 million last year. Los Angeles Times | |

AND FINALLYToday’s California memory comes from Glenn Davis:
“The morning after the Rodney King verdict, I boarded a British Airways jet nonstop for LAX. I was in training for a commercial pilot rating at the time so knew our approach to L.A. would be ‘different.’ The pilot explained we were going out over Malibu (instead of the usual 52-mile straight-in approach) and landing downwind — as people were shooting at planes approaching the runways from the land side. Our 747 kept some extra speed to do that landing safely, then I was met by a driver in baggage claim to take me home to Irvine. The driver explained that the 405 was closed, but he was going to take it anyway, as it was the fastest way home, and no one was patrolling an empty freeway. In the car, he told me to get down behind the seats and don’t show my head. He was driving well in excess of 100 mph when we approached Long Beach. He told me to get up and look at the city — which seemed like a wall of flame. My sister was attending a convention there and was trapped in the Sheraton (I later found out) for four days.”
