2025: The Year of You

It’s official…

2025 is going to be all about YOU!

In a minute, I’ll share some of the predictions you and your fellow members sent in… revealing the hopes and fears you have going into the New Year.

Then I’ll tell you about the big things you can expect from Paradigm Press over the next 12 months — designed to help make 2025 your BEST year ever!

But first, let’s take a look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “The Rise of Kash Patel in Trump’s Inner Circle” (Election Insider: The Rundown, Matt Insley):The election may be over, but Matt and The Rundown are still providing vital intel about Donald Trump’s incoming administration. He recently shared readers’ opinions about embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Then he dug into the controversies surrounding potential FBI director Kash Patel. To be fair, Matt’s take on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was the most-liked Rundown last week. But our team felt this story offers a well-balanced look at what Patel brings to the table.

• “The Art of the End Game” (Rude Awakening, Sean Ring): The sudden fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria took much of the world by surprise. And Sean says that it has completely changed the geopolitical playing field. He lays out a list of winners and losers from the power shift — which extends far beyond the Middle East. Then he explains why it could be a major step in restoring the United States’ credibility… even if Russia ends up conquering Ukraine. This was our most liked e-letter last week — so don’t miss it!

• “Microsoft’s $200 Billion Bitcoin Moment” (Altucher’s Investment Network, James Altucher): Donald Trump wants to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Other governments are considering following suit. And James says it’s only a matter of time before companies start officially holding Bitcoin as an asset. But as he told his Investment Network members last week, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) shareholders passed on a chance to join this revolution — for now. James’ analysis was one of our most-liked stories last week. And with Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) now considering a similar measure… I’ve unlocked James’ critical insights for you.

Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups 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.

The Reader Forum:

First from the mailbag today, Carol B. tells us:

I thank all of you for your professional help in this scary time that we are living in. I can't say thank you enough as so many are in the dark about the future and so many will be hurting. I consider all of you a godsend. I love Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence and the stock recommendations. I thank you for sell alerts and the gains. I can sleep at night.

You are quite welcome, Carol!

And while I’m happy about all of the big gains that our team delivers, I think you hit on something else they provide that’s much more rare these days — peace of mind.

Our analysts dig deep to find the stories no one is reporting… and the opportunities everyone else is overlooking. So you’re much more informed than the average investor — ready to face whatever the markets throw your way.

I’ve passed your kind words on to Jim and his team, who will be glad to hear your appreciation, too!

Next, Omega Wealth Circle member David G. used the members-only inbox to tell Publisher Matt Insley:

Let your readers know that my virgin intro to a James Altucher's recommendation was Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (CRDO), up 167% since June. I've been mixing it up with several of the Omega analysts (depending on my opinion of their opinion and the industry) with small amounts from the humble amount of capital I have to play with. I am up 43.1% since June. My wife thinks I'm a genius.

I hope you don’t mind me sharing this here, David — because I’m incredibly happy to hear about your success!

And I’m especially glad to hear you got into the Credo trade. The Paradigm Mastermind Group brain trust recommended selling half your CRDO stake for a 167% gain in mid-November. That means your remaining shares could go to zero — and you’d still come out ahead!

But instead, the shares are now up 327% from the team’s original buy recommendation!

I’ll also note that the S&P 500 is only up about 14% since June 1. So you’ve made three times what the average index fund investor has made!

That tells me that your wife is right — you are a genius… at the very least for deciding to join our highest level of service!

Finally for today, Dennis K. says:

I’m new to Paradigm and asking if this forum is the place to put out a stock for review and comments?

Welcome aboard, Dennis. I hope you’re enjoying Paradigm Press so far!

This weekly Concierge Letter gives members a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening at Paradigm Press. You’ll find our top stories… news about upcoming events… and comments from other members.

The Reader Forum shares compliments, questions and even complaints — part of our quest to make sure we’re providing you the absolute best service.

So it’s not an open forum for discussing investments that you or other members are looking at.

For one thing, we have hundreds of thousands of members… all of whom could have strong opinions about specific stocks. Sorting through their responses to create a coherent back-and-forth would likely be impossible.

We’d also have to worry that some people would try to front-run stocks — using our platform to try to artificially boost share prices, then selling for a profit when our other members buy in.

It’s just a big potential mess that we’d rather avoid.

But some of our smaller services do have ongoing chat rooms that make it easy to share and critique ideas. Check out The Trading Desk… The Maverick… and Jim Rickards’ Unrestricted Clearance to connect with other members.

That wraps up this week’s Reader Forum.

Remember, your feedback is vital to our success… so please email me at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.

Questions? I’ll get answers! Comments? Let me hear them! Problems? I’ll try to solve them!

This is YOUR forum!

(And don’t forget, we also have a FREE library of introductory investment guides — covering everything from finding a broker to how to trade stock options — on our Wealth Desk. For customer service issues, please use our contact page.)

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

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

In case there was any doubt, Matt made it perfectly clear.

“2025 will be the year of the boss,” he declared during our staff meeting. “Our members!”

As I mentioned last week, our entire team was in town to map out Paradigm’s predictions, strategies and goals for the next 12 months.

We also recommitted ourselves to providing you the absolute best research, analysis and service… especially because you’re expecting a wild year in the markets.

That was the biggest lesson from the survey I sent in the last Concierge Letter. 

Renee S. predicts “higher prices, chaos in the world, more people struggling.”

Faizal H. thinks there will be “a world war-type of conflict because Donald Trump the businessman does not have experience in that arena and the Democrats want him to fail.”

Dorthea D. thinks “the power struggle between the two national parties in Washington, D.C., will end up with a monetary arm wrestling contest between Cryptocurrency and the digital dollar.”

Paul M. tells us, “At some point the market has to reflect the reality of the global economic downturn and correct its valuation.”

Ellen K. says, “six months into 2025, global unrest followed by 25 years of war throughout the world, including the USA.”

Not everyone was so negative, of course.

John R. believes “some cryptocurrencies will grow more than 500%.”

Deborah R. tells us, “The market will be at all-time highs!”

Greg G. sees “a bright future if the opposition doesn't try to sabotage Trump and he can hold off on spending.”

Rob B. predicts “silver $54.”

Cedric C. simply tells us, “It’s gonna be a good year.”

Whatever 2025 holds, the entire Paradigm Press team is standing by to guide you through it.

In fact, to help make it your best year ever, we’re getting ready to launch new services… hold new events… possibly even expand our in-person Paradigm Shift Summit.

So I hope when it’s time to make 2026 predictions, they’ll all be positive — because we helped you achieve your financial goals in 2025!
