[Tom Selleck] Attention Retirement Savers

Sponsored Content

You know, back when Ronald Reagan first took office in the 1980s, we were still under a cloud of terrible inflation. It was really bad. People had lost faith. They were struggling to get by.

But then President Reagan was able to turn things around. It was a new “Morning in America” as he famously called it. And that brought a lot of hope back to this country.

Well, fast forward to today, and inflation has made a comeback. And it’s carried the same consequences. Higher interest rates. Higher food prices. Higher car prices. Higher home prices. You name it.

Now, we’ve got trade wars and market volatility, and we’re all hoping for another new day in this great country of ours.

These tough times show us all how important it is to diversify our money – especially if you’re retired, or anywhere close to it.

Losing the value of your hard-earned savings has some real consequences and you may not have the time to make it back.

Now what I’m about to say isn’t for everyone.

Because if you have less than $50,000 saved for retirement, this isn’t the right move for you yet. I don’t want you to waste your time.

But if you have a nest egg of $50,000 or more that you need to defend, this is critical.

Because I’ve teamed up with a great company — Goldco — to help solve this diversification problem for us.

They’ve personally helped me, and I think they can help you too

Right now, they’re offering a free 2026 Gold & Silver Kit that could show you how I (along with thousands of hard working Americans) am diversifying my savings. You’ll learn exactly how you could not only help protect yourself, but potentially get ahead when times get tough.

Get A Free 2026 Gold & Silver Kit Today!

So, get yourself a free copy of Goldco’s 2026 Gold & Silver Kittoday, and learn how you could help protect everything you’ve worked for – for yourself and your family.

I’m glad I did, and I think you will be too.

Swalwell to Resign; Strait Blockade Begins

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Good morning, it’s Tuesday. Here are today’s top stories:

• Two lawmakers call it quits: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said he will resign from Congress after the House ethics panel announced it opened a probe into sexual misconduct allegations against the congressman, which he has denied. A day earlier, Swalwell dropped out of the race for California governor. 
• Hours after Swalwell’s announcement, another embattled lawmaker, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), said he would retire from office. This came after a second staff member came forward claiming that she received sexually explicit text messages while working for the married congressman. Earlier, Gonzales admitted to having an affair with another former staffer, who took her own life. 
• Blockade begins: With the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz taking effect on Monday, President Donald Trump warned that Iranian vessels approaching the waterway would be eliminated. In response to the blockade, the Iranian regime threatened ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. 
• Frank Bisignano, recognized for his successful business turnarounds, is now leading major modernization efforts at Social Security and the IRS. In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Bisignano shares how his father and his time on Wall Street have shaped his approach in Washington.

Rep. Swalwell to Resign From Congress Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is resigning from Congress just a day after ending his campaign for California governor amid sexual assault allegations.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell wrote in a post on X. “I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

The move came after the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into the congressman over the sexual misconduct claims. 

Swalwell has consistently denied the allegations, which were first reported on April 10 by the San Francisco Chronicle. The woman who made the allegations told the Chronicle—which didn’t name her—that Swalwell sexually assaulted her on two occasions, including once while she was employed by him and heavily intoxicated. The Epoch Times has not verified the allegations made against Swalwell in the report.

The congressman subsequently faced pressure from fellow Democrats to withdraw from the California gubernatorial race. Swalwell did so on April 12, acceding to pressure from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a kingmaker in California politics, to leave the race.

“I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made—but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s,” Swalwell wrote in a post on X on the evening of April 12.

On April 10, House Democratic leaders—including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.)—issued a joint statement calling for an investigation into the allegations.

Since then, lawmakers raised the prospect of taking a vote to expel Swalwell from Congress, an extreme penalty for conduct considered grossly immoral. It was last exercised against Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) in December 2023. (More)

ARTS & CULTURE

Fanny Crosby as a young woman. (Originally from The Christian Herald)

‘Don’t Waste Sympathy on Me, I’m the Happiest Person Alive’ 

Fanny Crosby (1820–1915) composed approximately 8,000 hymns published under her name and over 200 pseudonyms during her long life. In addition to her lyrical compositions, she published four books of poetry. She also spent her early adult years as a teacher, then devoted decades to mission work on behalf of the poor, immigrants, and prisoners.

In 1843, Crosby became the first woman in U.S. history to testify before the U.S. Senate, speaking on the need to help people with disabilities, and in 1844 she read one of her poems to a joint session of Congress, where John Quincy Adams complimented her verse. 

She was acquainted with several presidents, including Grover Cleveland, who had worked for her as a secretary and assistant when he was 15. By the time of her death, Crosby had become a household name among Americans.

Published in 1844, her first book of poetry was titled “The Blind Girl, and Other Poems.” The title was appropriate. Fanny Crosby had been blind since she was 6 weeks old.

Accounts vary as to the cause of her blindness. Doctors today believe that her affliction was congenital, that Crosby was blind from birth. Others, including Crosby, said that mistreatment of an eye infection had stolen her sight. Before she was a year old, her father died, and she was left to the care of her mother and maternal grandmother.

The influence of these two womenand a neighbor, Mrs. Hawley, on Crosby can scarcely be overestimated. Her grandmother, in particular, undertook to become the girl’s eyes, describing her surroundings and reading aloud to her. Later, when Crosby and her mother moved away from the grandmother on account of work, Mrs. Hawley stepped up and undertook her education. (More)

Time to Buy Nvidia?

Friends, back in December of 2015, I wrote:

“In the same way that the computer defined the latter half of the 20th Century, the 21st Century will be defined by Artificial Intelligence. 

I’ve never found a company that possessed the ability to go up as much as NVIDIA will. It’s poised to become the next tech giant because of its pioneering work in the field of artificial intelligence.”

This might go down as my best prediction ever. Because shares have jumped as high as 25,851% since then. That means anyone who invested just $5,000 could have pocketed a whopping $1.3 million fortune.

But here’s the thing… Nvidia is now the largest firm on the planet. Shares have already gone up too much. So you can’t expect to make huge gains from Nvidia going forward. That’s not going to happen.

That’s why I want to tell you about three other AI infrastructure companies that I believe have much more upside potential.

I believe AI is about to trigger a brutal and final shakeout in the stock market. 

Some companies won’t survive the tech disruption. My research shows me that there are three companies that are immune to this shakeout. Because they’re essential to the entire AI industry.

Their future is tied to the development of the technology itself, and not to a single player. So no matter who wins this AI race, these three companies will not only survive the AI shakeout.

They’ll be the biggest winners.

But instead of buying shares, I shared a strategy that could help you make five times, ten times, and potentially even 20 times your money or more in the next 12 months. All while reducing your risk by up to 66% or more.

I put everything together for you here. Please don’t wait on this.

We take down the page for this briefing on Thursday, April 16. That means you only have a few days to see which three companies own the toll roads that every AI company on the planet must travel down.

After Thursday, your access disappears. No extensions. No replay.

Let the Game Come to You!

Big T

In case you missed it, here’s Big T’s Digital Asset Daily

You did everything right. And they punished you for it anyway.

You followed the research. Read the bullish headlines. And positioned yourself in bitcoin and high-quality altcoins.

After the launch of the first bitcoin ETF… the election of a pro-bitcoin President… and the passing of the GENIUS Act… everything was lining up for a bull run for the ages.

Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025. Ethereum got as high as $4,956. It seemed like the sky was the limit for this asset class.

Then it all came unglued. Bitcoin has plunged as much as 52%. Ethereum has fallen as far as 65%. Altcoins got hit even harder.

If you’ve held through that drawdown, you might be cursing me out right now. I don’t blame you. Holding through the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is one of the hardest things an investor can do.

This is my third time going through this. You should know that 2018 and 2022 were worse. Much worse. The current drawdown is unpleasant – but not uncommon. In its history, bitcoin has dropped 50% or more as many as 10 times.

All disruptive assets go through a similar period of intense volatility. It’s truly the admission price for the opportunity to make life-changing gains.

Here’s what I want you to understand: You didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, you and I were the target of the greatest conspiracy in financial history.

What we now know is that Wall Street’s war on crypto never ended. It went underground – into the dark, windowless committee rooms of Washington, D.C.

And it’s creating massive volatility in the crypto market. But all of that is about to change. A recent historic ruling just pulled the rug from under this conspiracy.

I’ll get to it in a moment. Before I tell you what it is, let me unmask the conspirators keeping a lid on crypto prices, hoping you sell your assets to them at a discount…

The Greatest Racket in Financial History

I’ve called this The Great Crypto Conspiracy.

I first went public with it in 2018, when I told you what Wall Street was saying in public was different from what it was doing behind the scenes.

For years, the big banks have tried to steamroll crypto with one FUD campaign after another. Their goal was never to protect you. It was to protect themselves.

Here’s what they were protecting…

U.S. banks are sitting on roughly $6.6 trillion in customer deposits. That’s your hard-earned savings. What do they pay you for the privilege of holding your money? Ten basis points. That’s 0.10%.

While you earn next to nothing, inflation is running at 3%. That means you lose 2.9% of your purchasing power every single year. Over 10 years, 25% of your buying power gets vaporized.

That monetary rot is enough to wipe out a year of retirement income, your kid’s college fund, or a decade of saving. Meanwhile, the banks are making a minimum of $200 billion a year on that same money.

Those profits pay for their kids’ private schools… Their luxury condos on Miami Beach and villas in the Hamptons… and their summer vacations in the West Indies.

I don’t believe that’s a coincidence. It’s the business model they’ve relied on for decades. And crypto threatens to blow it all up.

They’ve Run This Play Before. They Always Lose.

Here’s what’s important to understand: The Conspiracy always follows the same script.

It always ends the same way: Retail panic-selling while institutions build the infrastructure necessary to make crypto a legitimate asset class.

In 2018, Wall Street tried to kill the Token Taxonomy Act, which aimed to declassify decentralized tokens as securities and open the floodgates to retail and institutional capital.

Bitcoin fell 85%, all the way down to $3,000. The mainstream media vultures declared crypto dead. But behind the scenes, the institutions were building.

That same year, Fidelity – the world’s fifth-largest broker, with $6.4 trillion in assets – launched Fidelity Digital Assets, targeting institutional crypto custody and trading.

The NYSE’s parent company began building Bakkt, a regulated crypto trading platform to compete with Coinbase and Robinhood.

And venture capital funding for crypto infrastructure blew 2017 totals out of the water. They invested at least $1.3 billion worldwide, despite the crash.

The same script played out again from 2021 to 2024.

Then-SEC Chair Gary Gensler (the banking lobby’s attack dog) tried to kill the FIT21 Act, which clarified which digital assets fell under SEC jurisdiction. Bitcoin collapsed 31%.

While retail investors were shaken out, over that same time period, Wall Street was building the rails for adoption behind the scenes. Goldman Sachs had restarted its crypto trading desk. BlackRock had filed for a spot bitcoin ETF. Fidelity, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton had followed.

Institutions called crypto a fraud in public, but behind closed doors, they were building crypto on-ramps while retail was panic-selling.

It’s the classic Conspiracy playbook. They manufacture fear, crush prices, and shake out the weak hands.

Then they buy the dip… Repackage the product… And sell it back to you for a profit. They know crypto is here to stay. They just want to make sure they’re the ones who sell it to you.

But this time, the tables have turned.

Ripping a 100-Pound Weight Off Crypto

Back in September 2024, I told you about an obscure Supreme Court ruling that had nothing to do with crypto on the surface.

I told you this would be like ripping a 100-pound weight off the crypto industry’s back. I was talking about the “Chevron doctrine.”

For decades, this doctrine allowed federal agencies like the SEC to enforce regulations based on their own interpretations of ambiguous laws.

In plain terms, the SEC could make up the rules as it went. And anti-crypto crusaders like Gensler used that ambiguity like a weapon, regulating by enforcement rather than clarity.

But on Tuesday, March 17, the current SEC leadership radically changed course.

In a historic statement, the agency issued a formal interpretation of exactly how federal securities laws apply to digital assets.

It clarified that most of the major crypto assets – including bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana – are commodities, not securities.

I can’t emphasize enough how monumental this is. It matters more than almost anything else that has happened in the history of this asset class.

Under the new framework, “digital commodities” sit outside the SEC’s strict securities regime. That means fewer regulatory hurdles… less legal uncertainty… and a much clearer path for institutional capital to flow in.

In other words, these assets can be traded, held, and integrated into financial products far more easily.

By acknowledging that the majority of major crypto assets are not securities, the SEC can no longer use “bogus reasons” to slow down the creation of new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or stifle innovation.

The Next Catalyst Is Already Loading

This SEC ruling doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s the first domino in a sequence that I believe will trigger the largest institutional stampede into crypto we’ve ever seen.

The next domino is the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.

Introduced in May 2025, the Clarity Act cruised through the House and is currently sitting with the Senate Banking Committee.

If passed, it will create the most comprehensive regulatory foundation crypto has ever had. It will pave the way for full-scale commercialization of the entire ecosystem.

Of course the banks are fighting it tooth and nail. Their lobbying spend hit $87 million last year. That’s the highest since 2011, when they were still reeling from the financial crisis.

They know what’s at stake. If stablecoin exchanges are allowed to pass Treasury yields directly to savers, the $6.6 trillion sitting in bank deposits starts looking for a new home.

That’s a potential 3.6% that you could earn on your savings with stablecoins versus the 0.10% banks offer you.

It’s the banking cartel’s biggest nightmare. And it’s getting closer to reality.

We’ve already seen what happens when regulation turns into a tailwind. When the GENIUS Act passed last year, it created the first federal framework for stablecoins.

Bitcoin’s price surged from $74,400 to $126,300. I expect the same stampede of capital as the Clarity Act moves forward.

The market is sleepwalking through one of the most important regulatory moments in crypto history. But we’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends.

What You Should Do Right NowThe biggest financial institutions on the planet are already repositioning.

BlackRock just launched its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, letting anyone with a brokerage account earn income on Ethereum.

It’s also routing its $2.4 billion tokenized Treasury fund through Uniswap, bringing U.S. government bonds onto the blockchain.

JPMorgan just issued commercial paper (an IOU that banks issue) on the Solana blockchain, one of the first-ever tokenized debt issuances on a public chain.

These are the same institutions that called crypto a fraud. Now they’re building their entire future on it.

Some pockets of the market are already responding to the SEC news.

We recently sent a profit sell alert to our Inside Crypto subscribers after doubling our money in just under a month.

This idea is sitting at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and it has become a leader in the $117 trillion stablecoin trend.

Our position delivered 104% gains in just 26 days, and we’re letting the rest ride for free.

When it wakes up to this shift, certain altcoins could still deliver 10x, 15x, even 20x returns as institutional money discovers them one by one.

Friends, nothing can stop the adoption of crypto now. The SEC has switched sides in favor of this asset class. The banking cartel will have no choice now but to get on board.

Until the Clarity Act crosses the finish line, your job is simple: Stay rational.

Keep raising cash. Don’t let volatility shake you out of your positions. When the time comes, we’ll be the buyers, not the sellers.

Hear me when I tell you: More volatility is ahead.

Always remember we use volatility as our friend by taking advantage of absurd prices when the market goes into a full panic.

Just like when it panicked in 2018 and cut bitcoin’s price from $20,000 to $3,400… Just like when it panicked in March 2020 and cut bitcoin’s price from $9,000 to $5,000 in three days… And just like when it panicked in 2023 and sold bitcoin down from $68,000 to $15,000.

Raise cash and be ready to turn volatility victimization into volatility victory.

That’s how you get really rich, really fast.

And it’s how you come out of a bear cycle richer than when you went in.

Let the Game Come to You!

You Can Still Hedge the Next Energy Shock

Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999

Blockading the blockade… The last oil tankers from the Persian Gulf are arriving… Energy crisis protection… Brush your teeth… Stocks keep going up… Weathering the chaos…

---

My, how the tables have turned…

We’re back from the weekend, and now the U.S. is shutting down the Strait of Hormuz…

Twenty hours of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Pakistan failed to produce an agreement. As President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “There is only one thing that matters – IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS!”

So Trump’s next move was to announce a U.S. “blockade” of the key strait at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. And with that, the Iranian military said the ceasefire announced last week is off, as far as Iran is concerned.

The idea from the White House is that the U.S. Navy will only permit tankers traveling to and from ports outside Iran. The plan went into effect at 10 a.m. Eastern time today.

That doesn’t mean Iran won’t keep attacking these ships… or that they won’t strike a mine. Iran says it doesn’t even know where all its mines are.

According to Trump, 34 ships passed through the strait yesterday. That’s up from the handful that have reportedly trickled through over the past six weeks. But it’s barely a third of the typical daily pre-war traffic.

In other words, we’re a long way from “normal.”

An important point ahead…

The disruption in Persian Gulf energy shipments is about to hit home.

War has been raging in Iran for the past month and a half… But tankers move slowly. Some ships that passed through the strait before the war began, and they still haven’t reached their destinations. Their oil and gas will feed the global market like usual.

The last of those ships will reach their destinations this week. And this time, there won’t be a steady supply of tankers behind them.

That’s when energy supplies will start drying up in some parts of the world…

Meanwhile, oil production in the Middle East has been drastically cut in nations like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.

In all, OPEC’s March production was down 27% month over month, or 8 million barrels less per day. And attacks on energy infrastructure in the region have continued this month. So supply is likely to remain unstable in the months ahead.

We wrote last week about how high oil prices could go the longer the Strait of Hormuz remains “closed” – as much as 70% higher from current levels if the situation drags on six more months.

An energy crisis hedge…

Even before all this latest news over the weekend, Stansberry Research senior analyst Bryan Beach sent a new, timely “Energy Crisis Hedge” recommendation to his Stansberry Venture Valuesubscribers…

We’ve been writing about Energy Crisis Hedges since February 2022, when we introduced the concept as “Putin Hedges.” The core idea is that rising geopolitical instability – especially in Eastern Europe and the Middle East – would weaponize energy. This would push oil prices up and shift global demand toward relatively safe jurisdictions like the U.S. So we’ve been investing in the domestic companies that are poised to soar from this shift.

The White House has echoed our Energy Crisis Hedge thesis in recent weeks.

Then came the weekend, and a blockade today… For some really good reading on the “weaponization” of energy and Bryan’s stock recommendation to hedge an energy crisis, existing Venture Valuesubscribers can find his full issue here. As he writes…

Now, you might be wondering if it’s too late to hedge. After all, it seems like the current situation would already be priced into every stock even remotely exposed to U.S. energy production.

The answer is that hedging is always a smart move when chaos looms like it does today. Plus, by carefully shopping around, we can still get some Energy Hedge “insurance” for a reasonable price.

The new recommendation from Bryan is one such opportunity. He says it gives folks “full exposure to U.S. energy, but its shares won’t collapse if [oil] falls further.” Plus, as Bryan continued…

The company trades for a bargain right now, but it’s about to hit a major inflection point that will fundamentally change its stock’s trajectory…

And, as we’ve pointed out before, it’s not just oil and gas…

Oil price swings have driven much of the overall market volatility lately. But other commodities – including some most people wouldn’t think of – are seeing their supplies disrupted as well.

Here’s one “unexpected” consequence… In our neck of the woods, the city of Baltimore announced today it will lower fluoride levels in its drinking water by 42%. The war in Iran has disrupted supplies of the hydrofluorosilicic acid the U.S. imports from Israel and China.

At the risk of encouraging a fluoride debate in our mailbag… brush those teeth, kids.

A ‘mixed’ day…

Oil prices moved higher again, between 1% and 4%. No surprise there. But they also were off their highs of the past 24 hours as we write, with Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate around $98 per barrel. They were both above $100 earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, the major U.S. stock indexes held onto the “ceasefire” bounce from last week… even though Iran declared the ceasefire over. The indexes were higher today across the board, with the tech sector of the S&P 500 Index leading the way.

The AI universe got a boost as Oracle (ORCL) shares popped nearly 13% today after the company touted some of its AI platforms for utility companies.

Optimism abounds, it appears…

The S&P 500 Index traded above its 200-day moving average for a fourth straight trading day. And the CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX”) dipped below 20, trending down from its highs last month closer to 30.

But world events have hardly settled down. It’s a lot to follow.

If you’re struggling to keep up with the developments in Iran or have even given up trying, you’re not alone…

As Whitney Tilson and Alan Gula wrote in this month’s The N.E.W. System update sent to subscribers on Friday…

Earlier this week, the president of the United States warned that an entire civilization could be wiped off the map… Oil spiked above $117 a barrel… And a ceasefire was reached and violated.

That was just on Tuesday.

We know the feeling. We were here, writing about it. And fortunately for their subscribers, Whitney and Alan were putting together the latest update on a terrific market solution they offer in the AI-aided N.E.W. System portfolio.

Their AI system culls their model portfolio from a selection of 1,000 stocks that are first filtered using our proprietary Stansberry Score. It chooses a complementary selection of 20 top-quality stocks to form a risk-adjusted portfolio to weather exactly the kind of chaotic, unpredictable environment we’re living through right now.

As Whitney and Alan wrote…

Thankfully, our system doesn’t care what Trump happens to post on a Tuesday morning. Our algorithms don’t have an opinion on whether the ceasefire is real or destined to fall apart. Nor do they care about the next $10 move in the price of oil.

Our algorithms don’t trade on headlines, panic, or hope. They don’t read the news. They just run the math every quarter, using the same rules.

So in today’s issue, we’ll review how The N.E.W. System works and explain how our portfolio is set up to profit no matter what happens next…

Subscribers can find their latest update here. And to learn more about The N.E.W. System, and to get started with a 70% discount, click here for a full presentation from Whitney. 

The N.E.W. System may not be tracking the blur of daily headlines, but we are.

And, as we could have written a lot lately, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

In today’s mailbag, thoughts on fuel hedging, which we covered in a mailbag last week… and thoughts on Dan Ferris’ Friday essay… Do you have a comment or question? As always, e-mail us at feedback@stansberryresearch.com.

“It is very easy to in hindsight chastise airlines for not having hedges in place when fuel prices [go] up dramatically.

“It is also very easy to chastise airlines when fuel prices go down dramatically, and their costs, profits and stock price don’t adjust commensurately because of their hedging.

“I can only imagine how challenging this is for airline management, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

“Ultimately if your bonuses were tied to ‘steady slow growth’ you might hedge, and if you only cared about the next quarter or year, you’d probably look at oil prices going down and take the hedges off. Can’t blame anyone for that, except perhaps the boards and how compensation is structured.

“Either way, there will be costs, and they will be passed on to consumers, either as slow and steady growing costs, or with dramatic swings when oil and fuel prices have dramatic swings.” – Stansberry Alliance member John W.

“Subscriber Jeff C. succinctly describes Milton Friedman’s view on inflation – too much money chasing too few goods. Could it be, then, that today’s inflation numbers don’t yet reflect downward pricing adjustments by companies that are seeing their sales drop because Americans are now spending more on fuel? I guess we’ll see down the road.

“I also loved this paragraph from Dan’s report [on Friday]:

My job isn’t to make you agree with me. My job is to give you the tools to make sound investment decisions. If you think I’m an idiot but come away from this Digest with a clearer idea of how to handle market volatility, I’ve earned my paycheck.

“You’re the man, Dan.” – Subscriber Sherwin R.

“Stop calling oil & gas ‘fossil fuels.’ They don’t come from fossils. Watch Fletcher Prouty explain here.” – Subscriber Warren W.

FINANCIAL LITERACY

Why America Is Still the “Land of Opportunity”

Dr. Mark Skousen, Macroeconomic Strategist, The Oxford Club

“The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”
– Robert Kiyosaki (The Maxims of Wall Street, Page 21)

Of the thousands of subscribers who now read Wealthy Retirement or my new newsletter The Skousen Report, I suspect many of you are self-made millionaires, either as entrepreneurs or as investors. I congratulate you. You have lived the American Dream.

As the novelist Ayn Rand wrote, “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision” (Maxims, Page 68).

It’s time we honored all of you who have made it to the Promised Land.

If you haven’t yet, perhaps you have a goal to get there someday. If you have, your goal should be to keep living the American Dream by investing wisely and avoiding bad choices. That’s our main purpose here at The Oxford Club, and I’m delighted to be a part of this great organization.

Three Principles of Success

How did you – or how can you – achieve this success in life? I believe it’s due to the three principles outlined by Benjamin Franklin: industry, thrift, and prudence. You work hard, you control your spending habits, and you don’t take foolish chances with your hard-earned money.

As Kevin O’Leary says, “Getting rich is easy if you follow three rules: Spend less, save more, and invest the rest” (see Page 24 of Maxims)… but do it wisely!

If you followed these rules, you are in a position to celebrate.

Forbes 250 Lists

As I mentioned last week, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, Forbes magazine has been creating a variety of new lists of successful Americans.

They are called the Forbes 250.

Last week, Forbes came out with two Forbes250 lists of the greatest self-made Americans who started from nothing and lived the American Dream:

• Forbes Self-Made 250: The Greatest Living Self-Made Americans
• Forbes 250: The Greatest Historic Self-Made Americans

I went through the list and discovered that I’ve met 14 of the living self-made Americans, including Bill Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, and Mark Cuban, and nine of the historic figures, including George Foreman, whom I met at my FreedomFest conference.

I was also glad they finally added B.C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, to the list.

And, of course, I “knew” Ben Franklin (#19), as I am an eighth-generation direct descendant of “The Greatest American.”

America Is the Promised Land

America is indeed the land of opportunity for anyone to start from scratch and make their fortune. That’s why they call it “the American Dream.” No other country in the world offers so many of its citizens the chance to go from zero to hero in a lifetime.

President Ronald Reagan once said:View larger image

We have closed the border to illegal immigrants, but we must always have the door open to the best and the brightest foreigners who want to come to America and make a difference – Elon Musk (South Africa), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (India), and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (Taiwan), to give three examples.

It’s because we are open to the best entrepreneurs from around the world that American exceptionalism is alive and well. That is why the U.S. stock market has outperformed all other country funds in the 20th and 21st centuries.

M&M Boys at FreedomFest July 8-11 in Vegas!

I’m also happy to announce that Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld will be joining me at FreedomFest.View larger image

Growing up, I was a big fan of the “M&M Boys,” Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, in their goal to catch Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1961.

Marc and I plan to do the same at this year’s FreedomFest, where we will show you how to hit some grand-slam “ten-baggers” in supergrowth and income stocks this year.

Special Session on the Terrifying New World of AI

FreedomFest includes a full four-day investment conference. We’ve planned a special session on the exciting – and, to some, terrifying – world of artificial intelligence (though I prefer to call it “advanced intelligence”) and how to profit from this new technological trend that Elon Musk and others are developing.

In addition to Marc Lichtenfeld, our experts include Steve Forbes, George Gilder, Adrian Day, Jim Woods, and Rob Arnott, who will be bringing his first edition of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. (We have just updated our website to include the full list of speakers. Check it out here.)

I’m also pleased to announce that Nobel laureate Vernon Smith is coming to FreedomFest and will celebrate his 100th birthday there on 7/11 in Vegas. I recently interviewed him, and at 99 years of age, he was sharp and insightful. Don’t miss this special event.

One trade. One ticker. Once a week.

According to Interactive Brokers, there’s a unique strategy that “generates income with limited risk” through up and down markets.

But Marc Lichtenfeld uncovered a predictable moment that he aims for every Friday – one that takes this strategy to a whole new level.

It involves just one ticker symbol.

And his research shows it could work shockingly well IF the trade is made every Friday at exactly 10 a.m. How well?

Looking back, he ran the numbers from February 14 to April 11, while the S&P sank 12%… it showed that all 6 trades could have been winners.

And since going live, his win rate is 100%.

Now he’s revealing all of this research… the actual ticker symbol he’s using… and even doing a live demo.
