Proof That Prudent Trading Pays Off

“Don’t get too caught up in the insanity!”

That’s the advice from one of our top trading analysts at the start of what’s shaping up to be another wild week on Wall Street.

And given our analyst’s recent track record, I’d pay close attention to what he sees ahead — especially if you want to make money during the market’s ups and downs.

I’ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “Rare Earths, Disgusting Secrets” (Altucher Confidential, Chris Campbell): Rare earths are critical raw materials for a wide variety of high-tech devices. Most of them come from China, which has started restricting its exports. That’s why rare earth deposits in Greenland, Ukraine and the United States are suddenly getting a lot of press. But as Chris explains, there’s a reason the Chinese took the lead in this industry… and finding alternative sources won’t be quick or cheap. Discover why this was Chris’ most-liked story last week.

• “The Berkshire Death Clock” (Truth & Trends, Enrique Abeyta): Warren Buffett has earned a reputation as a shrewd investor — which is why shares of his Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) are a favorite pick for retirement accounts. But now Buffett is poised to step down as CEO… opening the possibility that he may leave the company permanently. And Enrique believes that will be the end of Berkshire as we know it. If you’re holding BRK shares, you need to see Enrique’s analysis!

• “The China Con,” (Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence, Jim Rickards): Jim keeps a close eye on China, gold and the global financial system. Naturally, his members have questions. So Jim answered a few in the latest mailbag alert for his Strategic Intelligence. These insights are usually off-limits to everyone else. But the things he discusses are probably at the top of your mind, too. And once I saw it was one of his most-liked articles last week, I knew I had to unlock it for you.

Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups and presentations above are our TOP ones for the week — including one that had been roped off from the public. If you want to stay ahead of the pack, make sure you’re caught up now.

And if you’d like to nominate any of our stories for next week’s “Top 3,” just let me know at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.

The Reader Forum:

First from the mailbag today, Omega Wealth Circle member Gordon F. responds to Rebecca W.’s request that Paradigm Press adopt a “house view.” He says:

Let me share a quote that my father-in-law gave us before we got married (42 years ago this June). He said, “If two people always agree on everything, one of them is not necessary.” I greatly appreciate the diversity of opinion from a variety of very intelligent and experienced advisors.

Thanks for writing in, Gordon! And since you’re an Omega Wealth Circle member, I know you’re serious about wanting a wide range of insights and strategies. You have access to our entire team!

So I’m very glad to hear you’re happy with what we share. Hopefully you’ll share some success stories with us, too!

In a similar vein, Matthew M. left us a five-star Google review saying:

I’ve been following Jim, James and the whole crew of amazing people at Paradigm Press, and they are knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you! I’ve gained my initial investment back many times over!

Wow, Matthew, I hope you’re reading this, because that’s an amazing compliment! Thanks for taking the time to share it with the world.

I’m very glad to hear that you’ve had so much success with our team’s recommendations. Now that you’ve covered your costs, any future profits will help you reach your financial goals.

Feel free to keep us updated on your progress!

Finally for today, new Jim Rickards’ Insider Intel member Frances W. tells us:

While I know you advise the use of options for its recommendations, I am an 80-year-old who has never coped well with options, and while I note you give a very good lesson on them and advise the recommendations with them, I am very comfortable with share trading instead. I accept that the results will not be as great in percentage terms, but do you have many users who only trade the recommendations with the full share?

Welcome aboard, Frances! And I can assure you that you’re not the only member who is wary of stock options.

It sounds like you’ve already looked at all of our trading resources, including The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Stock Options on our Wealth Desk. If that didn’t convince you to consider options trading, I won’t try to change your mind.

Instead, I will point out that our analysts provide recommendations based on their research. What our members do with that information is completely up to them — and is none of our business.

So I don’t really know how many people buy stock shares instead of the options our team recommends. We’ll occasionally hear from members who did well just buying targeted stocks. Still, we don’t have any hard data.

Don’t let that stop you, though. In fact, I’d love to hear how it works out for you. If anyone else buys shares instead of options for our recommendations, drop me a line, too!

That wraps up this week’s Reader Forum.

Now, here’s what’s happening around the water cooler this week…

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

Most stocks are soaring this morning after China and the United States announced a pause in the tariff war.

Pharmaceutical stocks, however, could struggle as Donald Trump signs an Executive Order targeting drug prices.

Of course, Trump’s next social media post could send the markets in an entirely new direction.

That’s why Greg Guenthner is recommending caution as the trading week begins.

“We have to continue to make prudent trading decisions despite all the noise in this market,” he says.

Since the market volatility began in April, Greg’s Cash Line system has given his Trading Desk members chances to see gains of 28% in five days with Nike Inc. (NKE)... 44% in just two days with Rocket Lab USA Inc. (RKLB)... and a giant 95% win with MARA Holdings Inc. (MARA) in 3 days!

I guess prudence can really pay off!

Looking ahead, Greg says the S&P 500 is set to break through some key technical barriers, putting it within striking distance of hitting new highs.

Tech stocks are also poised to rise, with big names like Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) poised for modest gains compared to companies that are more directly affected by tariffs.

Greg also says cryptocurrencies are set for a good run.

Keep in mind that things are always changing, and “unforeseen shenanigans” could impact Greg’s analysis.

That’s why he issues new guidance every business morning… even chatting live with Trading Desk members before Wall Street’s opening bell.

But now you have some idea of what to expect as the week begins!
