What to Buy When Others Are Fearful

It’s not about timing. It’s about preparation.

Don’t Panic. Do This Instead.

If you think all is lost and the market is finished for good… don’t read this. Because what we’re about to show you challenges the doom narrative entirely. History, data, and decades of market behavior point to a very different outcome—one most investors overlook right before conditions turn. If you’d rather stay pessimistic, skip it. But if you’re willing to see what the numbers actually suggest, keep reading.

How to Become a Pawn Star

Rick Harrison turned forgotten objects into opportunity and built a business on understanding the thin line between story and value. In markets, that same skill separates speculation from smart investing. Knowing what’s worth holding, and what’s just sentimental dust, is how you become a true pawn star.

Nvidia’s Next Big Move: The secret signal Wall Street doesn’t want you to see

It’s called the Blue Spike — a hidden signal that’s appeared before some of the biggest stock buyouts in recent history. In fact, it showed up ahead of 21 out of 22 Nvidia acquisitions. Now, James Altucher says his AI system has detected a new Blue Spike… and tomorrow, he’s revealing the most shocking trade he’s ever seen.

The Next OpenAI is Tokenized

Back in 1991, the internet was a blinking cursor and a few hopeful nerds. Today, a new frontier is emerging—this time, it’s AI. And Bittensor might be the decentralized revolution no one sees coming. No gatekeepers. No API keys. Just open-source intelligence with real incentives. Think: Bitcoin for AI.

How to Lose Everything and Keep Going

In this issue, I share what her journey through loss, depression, and reinvention can teach us about building a stronger foundation—both in life and in the markets.

To Win, Just Don’t Die

I’ve spent decades bouncing between writing, poker, investing, chess—and the quiet misery of failing at all of them. Over 2,000 rejection letters. Empty bank accounts. Eight-hour chess defeats. But through all the pain, I’ve learned something: whether you’re trading markets or taking creative risks, you have to really like yourself to keep going. Here’s why.

I Flew 4,000 Miles to Say “Be Stupid"

Rich, Powerful, and Miserable

F In 1999, I thought money would solve everything. I was wrong. In my podcast with Marshall Goldsmith—the coach behind Ford and Best Buy’s epic turnarounds—we explored why achievement and happiness have nothing to do with each other. From NFL stars to CEOs, Marshall shows that success is about process, not just results. Here’s what I learned (the hard way) and why you might be chasing the wrong thing.

Nat Eliason watched Bitcoin’s rise from the sidelines, dipped into ICOs—and eventually dove in headfirst. At one point, his crypto holdings soared past $13 million. But in the world of digital assets, liquidity is everything. This is the cautionary tale of going all in, losing it all, and what Nat believes comes next for crypto—from AI tokens to tokenized real-world assets. Before you invest, read this.
