A.I. 2.0 - Where A.I. and Crypto Meet the Hype

Donald Trump is making more tariff threats&hellip;
Targeting a specific set of countries accused of having &ldquo;anti-American&rdquo; policies.
Wall Street is acting like it&rsquo;s just another day in the Oval Office.
But Jim Rickards says the president is actually telegraphing his next move &mdash; and could pull the trigger as early as July 9!
While most investors will be taken by surprise, you have a chance to position yourself for profits ahead of Trump&rsquo;s announcement.
More details after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum&hellip;

Dave explains what makes them so special &mdash; and why they could make credit cards extinct. He also looks at Elon Musk&rsquo;s threat to start a new political party and digs into Jerome Powell&rsquo;s lavish spending at the Federal Reserve. Then he ends with a story about a state government using eminent domain to help a Bitcoin miner. It&rsquo;s not hard to see why this was the most-liked 5 Bullets last week!</li>

His neighbor supported the other. They hadn&rsquo;t really talked to each other since then &mdash; until Matt decided to do something about it.

But there is a lot of misinformation about what it means for the U.S. bond markets. Jim recently told his Situation Report members why the mainstream narrative is wrong &mdash; and how you can profit from Wall Street&rsquo;s misconceptions.

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the Forum today, Ray A. left us a five-star Google review, adding:
I've really enjoyed my membership with Paradigm. They have assembled a fantastic group of guys who have expertise in so many areas. I have learned a lot and have profited financially with their help.
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Ray, thanks for taking the time to leave us such a nice review! I know our team is top-notch, but I love knowing that our members agree.
I&rsquo;m also glad to hear that our research has made you wiser and wealthier. Please keep us updated on your successes!
Next, Marc S. tells James Altucher:
I&rsquo;m writing to thank you for the recommendations this year in your True Alpha service. I&rsquo;ve made a bunch of 100%+ gains on options trades.
Congratulations on those big wins, Marc! But I wonder if you&rsquo;re being too modest&hellip; because James and Senior Analyst Zach Scheidt have been on a real hot streak.
In the past few weeks alone, members have had chances to lock in gains as high as 210% with Palantir Technologies Inc. <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/PLTR">(PLTR)</a>... 918% with Mp Materials Corp. <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/MP">(MP)</a>... and 1,077% with Quantum Computing Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/QUBT">QUBT</a>)...
It really shows how the right stock options can magnify your gains to incredible heights!
And finally for today, Joe B. asks:
Dustin, what is your opinion on the bond market right now? Do you expect a big drop in it very soon?
I assume you&rsquo;re not asking me personally, Joe. I merely work with some of the best financial minds on the planet&hellip; so I don&rsquo;t claim to have any expert knowledge.
But I do pay attention to what our team is saying.
You&rsquo;ll notice that one of today&rsquo;s Top Stories has Jim&rsquo;s latest thoughts on Treasury bonds. They have also been a hot topic in our editorial meetings.
Just last week, Enrique Abeyta told us, &ldquo;bond yields are doing just fine. It&rsquo;s a big snooze fest.&rdquo;
Chris Cimorelli agrees&hellip; but also thinks bond investors might have small panic attacks in the weeks ahead. If so, there will be some great trading opportunities before the summer ends.
When the time comes, you&rsquo;ll want to turn to our team for in-depth analysis and recommendations!
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum.

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
The White House says to expect several tariff announcements this week. At the same time, the president is threatening a specific group of countries with new import fees.
He doesn&rsquo;t want the BRICS &mdash; Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and other invited members &mdash; to adopt anti-American policies.
But as Jim Rickards points out, new deals and threats won&rsquo;t be enough to re-establish America&rsquo;s economic dominance.
That&rsquo;s why he thinks Trump has something else up his sleeve&hellip; and could announce it as early as Wednesday, July 9.
It could turn the entire global economic system on its head.
Investors who aren&rsquo;t prepared for what&rsquo;s coming could see their portfolios wiped out.
The right moves now, however, could deliver tremendous profits.

Countdown to Trump’s Next War

Trump&hellip; Elon&hellip; DOGE&hellip; immigration&hellip; tariffs&hellip; protests&hellip; Iran&hellip;
Investors had a lot to chew on in the first half of 2025.
And our team says the second half will be even wilder!
In a minute, I&rsquo;ll give you a preview of what they see ahead &mdash; including the opportunities on their radar.
But first, let&rsquo;s look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/conspiracy-friday-irans-bitcoin-nukes">&ldquo;Conspiracy Friday: Iran&rsquo;s Bitcoin Nukes&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/conspiracy-friday-irans-bitcoin-nukes">Altucher Confidential</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/conspiracy-friday-irans-bitcoin-nukes">, Chris Campbell)</a>: When the United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites last week, there was a noticeable drop in Bitcoin mining. Did our strikes take down Iran&rsquo;s crypto mines? It&rsquo;s not as crazy as it sounds, as Chris explains. He also walks you through some alternative theories. And no matter what the truth is, Chris says it has big implications for the crypto markets. Discover why this was his most-liked story last week!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/buying-as-the-world-burns/">&ldquo;Buying as the World Burns&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/buying-as-the-world-burns/">Daily Reckoning, </a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/buying-as-the-world-burns/">Adam Sharp)</a>: War is usually bad for stocks. But U.S. markets were rising even before the ceasefire&hellip; and Iranian missiles didn&rsquo;t stop Israeli stocks from hitting all-time highs. Adam digs into why in the most-liked Daily Reckoning of the week. Learn what&rsquo;s driving the bullish optimism &mdash; and what could finally give Wall Street some pause. Adam also reveals where he&rsquo;s putting his money to play what he sees ahead.</li>

But as James recently told his Investment Network Pro members, the tech is still in the Stone Age compared to what&rsquo;s coming. He explains what will power the next breakthrough&hellip; and shares the names of three companies working to make it happen. It&rsquo;s a story few are paying attention to, which is probably why it was one of our most-liked updates last week. So I unlocked James&rsquo; premium analysis for you.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
Omega Wealth Circle members continue to share their thoughts about our highest level of service.
Bill M. writes to Enrique to say:
I started about six months ago with James Altucher's group of services. Those have worked quite well, so I added Jim Rickard's services. Those have mostly worked well, enough for me to agree to upgrading to the Omega Wealth Circle. The money to do it came from James and Jim, but the incentive to do it was YOU!
Enrique saw this and passed it along to me, Bill. So if you&rsquo;re reading this, I want to tell you that I&rsquo;m glad your Omega Wealth Circle membership has already paid for itself.
As you mention, you now have access to our entire team. It&rsquo;s all the research, analysis and recommendations you need to build a lasting nest egg.
So I hope you&rsquo;ll update Enrique and I on your progress!
Next, Michael M. left us a five-star Google review that says:
I have subscribed to many memberships in gaining information about stock trading. Paradigm Press is by far the best. I&rsquo;ve decided to join Paradigm&rsquo;s Omega Wealth Circle&hellip;
Welcome aboard, Michael! You&rsquo;ve made a smart choice. Paradigm Press has worked hard to attract world-class financial analysts in a wide range of fields.
If something can help you make money, there&rsquo;s a good chance we have someone who covers it.
We&rsquo;re also always looking to grow our team &mdash; which is why Omega Wealth Circle members have first access to our newest contributor.
He&rsquo;s a household name in much of the country&hellip; and our most esteemed members are getting his exclusive thoughts now &mdash; before they&rsquo;re available to the public!
(I&rsquo;ll tell everyone else about him when the time is right. If you can&rsquo;t wait for the details, become an Omega Wealth Circle member today. Just call our dedicated Member Services team at 844-228-8835, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET for all the details!)
Finally for today, Abraham L. writes Enrique to say:
Should I invest in the past portfolio? Past ones seem to be old and it has already gone up quite a bit. What is your suggestion?
Enrique has seen this email, Abraham. But I think all of our members will benefit from the answer, because it applies to just about all of our services.
Our team monitors open recommendations in a model portfolio. To figure out which plays are still good buys, open the service&rsquo;s portfolio and check the Comments column.
You should see a sentence that says something like, &ldquo;Buy using a limit order of $30&rdquo;...
A limit price is the maximum price you should pay for a stock, as described in our FREE <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/stock-investing-101-buying-selling-and-earning-income">Stock Investing 101</a> guide on our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">Wealth Desk</a>.&nbsp;
So, in general, if the stock&rsquo;s current price is below the listed limit price you can consider buying it for your portfolio.
In other words, if our analyst set the limit at $30 and the stock is trading for $28, it&rsquo;s fair game. If the stock is trading for $31, it&rsquo;s better to wait for the next opportunity to come along.
Sometimes the analyst will increase his recommended limit price, meaning it&rsquo;s safe to buy a stock up to a higher price.
And if the stock is trading much lower than the suggested limit price, you might be better off waiting for a bounce or our analyst&rsquo;s latest thoughts.
I hope that helps!

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
Stocks managed to hit all-time highs in the first half of 2025, despite a lot of fear and uncertainty.
Can anything shake Wall Street&rsquo;s confidence heading into the second half?
A lot depends on what happens in the White House&hellip;
The Trump administration is still trying to work out trade deals ahead of a self-imposed July 9 deadline. And investors are watching very carefully.
In fact, news that Trump ended negotiations with Canada on Friday caused a quick dip in the major indexes.
So expect a pattern of fear when deals seem to be on the edge of falling apart, followed by relief when governments clear whatever obstacle slowed the talks down.
Our trading experts know that kind of up-and-down action is great for options plays &mdash; so expect many opportunities to score quick gains.
Trump will also want a big win before the first of the year. The best way to do that is to unlock &ldquo;America&rsquo;s Birthright&rdquo; &mdash; the vast mineral and resource wealth beneath the United States.
Jim Rickards and his team continue to uncover the tiny companies that will make Trump&rsquo;s America-first policies a reality.
Ending our dependence on foreign raw materials will also deliver profits to anyone who recognized the opportunity now!
Meanwhile, James Altucher and his team are expecting major legislative decisions on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The next big move could actually come tomorrow &mdash; sending cryptos soaring.
And some of the biggest winners could be alt-coins that few people have even heard of.
So strap yourself in&hellip; because the next six months are going to be BIG!

Your Second Half Kick-Off Guide

Most Wall Street investors are worrying about Donald Trump&rsquo;s next move in the Middle East.
But that means they&rsquo;re missing a major opportunity right under their noses&hellip;
An opportunity that could deliver huge gains starting tomorrow, June 24!
It&rsquo;s all thanks to an Executive Order that Trump signed in March&hellip; the key to opening up America&rsquo;s $1.5 trillion birthright.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.&nbsp;

The possibility created a schism with his supporters, as our <a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/mutiny-on-the-uss-maga/">Daily Reckoning</a> and <a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/tucker-trump-and-magas-rift">The Rundown</a> covered. Sean also took a critical look at all the reasons the United States might get involved &mdash; using classical justifications for warfare. It was one of his most-liked stories last week.

And while some say Juneteenth is pure pandering, Enrique argues that it goes much deeper than that. He shares the whole history of the holiday&hellip; explaining why it&rsquo;s worth celebrating. Our Dave Gonigam of 5 Bullets&rsquo; fame gushes that he &ldquo;learned a thing or two&rdquo; from Enrique&rsquo;s take.

First from the mailbag today, Michael V. tells us:
I just recently joined the Omega Wealth Circle and I&rsquo;m very glad I did. Ever since I joined, I&rsquo;ve been making a lot more money and the reading content is very explicit. I&rsquo;m not going to renew any of my other publications from other companies because I&rsquo;ve got all I can do to keep up with the Omega Wealth Circle. Thank you, Paradigm Press!
You&rsquo;re quite welcome, Michael! And thank you for taking the time to write us&hellip; as well as for being a member of our most elite group.
The Omega Wealth Circle is designed to give you the broadest range of analysis and recommendations we offer. So it really is a one-stop-shop for all of your investment research needs!
Your membership also lets you &ldquo;test drive&rdquo; our new services before they&rsquo;re offered to the public. In fact, on Friday you should have received the debut issue of our latest offering &mdash; currently an Omega Wealth Circle exclusive.&nbsp;
And Michael wasn&rsquo;t the only elite member we heard from this week. Ron and LeaAnn M. wrote to the exclusive Omega Wealth Circle inbox to tell us:
The measure of the value of our Omega Wealth subscription can't really be measured in percentages of ROI, or whether the costs of lifetime membership has been covered. Even though it's been covered far and beyond the initial price&hellip; All told, our portfolio gains have grown into numbers approaching 7 figures&hellip; It isn't that all of that is attributable to trading alerts; part is due to having better insights on how to manage other aspects of our investments. So, not only do we have significant dollar gains from stock and option alerts, we also have considerable gains in other investments because of clear economic insight frequently shared by Jim Richards. 
Congratulations on your success, Ron and LeeAnn! You also hit on a critical aspect of the Omega Wealth Circle that&rsquo;s easily overlooked.
As a member, you&rsquo;re not just getting recommendations from every service we offer. You also get our team&rsquo;s insights into the market&rsquo;s ups and downs&hellip; in-depth strategies you can apply to all of your investments&hellip; and predictions you can use to plan ahead.
I hope to see Michael, Ron and LeeAnn at our upcoming Paradigm Shift Summit in Nashville, Tenn., on Oct. 9. Omega Wealth Circle members will also enjoy a bonus day of presentations on Oct. 10.
(You can join us in Nashville on Oct. 9 even if you&rsquo;re not an Omega Wealth Circle member. <a href="https://pro.paradigm-press.info/m/2452677">Get the details here</a>.)
We usually only open enrollment to the Omega Wealth Circle a few times a year. But we currently have a few open spots, if you&rsquo;re interested.
One low fee gets you full access to every service we publish&hellip; sneak-peeks at upcoming services&hellip; exclusive e-letters&hellip; free tickets to our live events&hellip; and more.
Just call our dedicated Member Services team at 844-228-8835, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET for all the details!
Finally for today, Robin W. has a response to <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/ominous-signs-missile-strikes-no-kings-protests-volatility#rforum">last week&rsquo;s Reader Forum</a>, telling us:
I see in your weekly update that Amber obviously got really useful advice and assistance from you, but I got nothing to help me learn new techniques to take advantage of your offers. Why did she receive this kind of assistance when I got nothing? I am upset&hellip; 
Thanks for sharing your concern, Robin. And while I emailed you a personal response, I think all of our members would benefit from my answer, too.
As I frequently say, we&rsquo;re a financial publishing company &mdash; not a financial services company. U.S. laws strictly limit how much help we can give our members.
So our team can&rsquo;t give any type of individualized investment advice. We also can&rsquo;t tell you which broker to use&hellip; make trades for you&hellip; or personally walk you through trading in your brokerage account.
The best we can offer is general information that you can apply to your personal circumstances.
And that&rsquo;s exactly what Amber W. did. She called my team with questions about stock options. She was directed to our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">Wealth Desk</a> and our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/paradigm-press-presents-the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-stock-options">Ultimate Beginner&rsquo;s Guide to Stock Options</a>.
Her success from there was entirely her own.
That being said, please let me know what topics you need help with.
Again, there&rsquo;s a limited amount of personal assistance we can give&hellip; but your questions could become our next free Wealth Desk report!

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
President Donald Trump surprised everyone by bombing Iran last week&hellip; raising fears that we may get entangled in another foreign war.
Our team is analyzing how the uncertainty will affect the markets &mdash; watching defense stocks, oil prices, precious metals and more.
But we&rsquo;re also keeping an eye on opportunities that the rest of Wall Street is overlooking&hellip;
And Jim Rickards tells us one of the biggest stems from an Executive Order that Donald Trump signed in March.
It opened a door for tiny companies to start developing U.S. resources &mdash; the treasure trove of raw materials that Uncle Sam had been keeping to itself.
That all changes tomorrow, June 24.
Jim has identified three companies set to earn huge profits during what happens next.
He expects it to follow the same pattern of previous mining booms&hellip; delivering gains up to 4,800% by next year.
In fact, war in the Middle East makes unlocking America&rsquo;s birthright even more important &mdash; which means these small stocks could pay off even faster.
You just have to get in before Wall Street realizes what it&rsquo;s missing.

Even Iran Can’t Slow This Profit Train!

It&rsquo;s a short trading week &mdash; but there&rsquo;s still a lot of weird stuff happening.
Israel and Iran lobbing missiles and drones at each other&hellip;
&ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; protests across the United States&hellip;
There&rsquo;s also the Federal Reserve meeting about interest rates&hellip;
And Donald Trump could throw a monkey wrench into all of it at any time.
But why is it happening?
We&rsquo;ll try to answer that question on Wednesday, June 18, at 1:27 p.m. ET. 
You&rsquo;ll also get a specific look at when the markets could start to crash.

<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/iran-war-alert-buy-cyber-concierge">&ldquo;Iran War Alert: Buy Cyber&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/iran-war-alert-buy-cyber-concierge">Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/iran-war-alert-buy-cyber-concierge">, James Altucher)</a>: Iran can&rsquo;t attack the United States with planes and missiles&hellip; but they could hurt us in other ways. That&rsquo;s why James recently reviewed one of his Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network plays with members. It&rsquo;s a company on the frontlines of the new domain of warfare. And most of Wall Street is still sleeping on its profit potential. The timely topic easily made it our most-liked story of the week. And the company James spotlights is so vital to national defence that I knew I had to unlock his analysis for you.</li>

Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups and above are our TOP ones for the week &mdash; including one that had been roped off from the public. If you want to stay ahead of the pack, make sure you&rsquo;re caught up now.
And if you&rsquo;d like to nominate any of our stories for next week&rsquo;s &ldquo;Top 3,&rdquo; just let me know at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
<h2 class="subhead nbp"><a id="rforum"></a>The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the Reader Forum today, Altucher True Alpha member Amber W. left us a five-star Google review, adding:
These guys brought me into the real options trading world. I was brand new. From finding the right brokerage account to the info on very good detail behind the recommended trades from beginning to end has been so accurate and profitable. Everything you'll see they promise comes true. I've closed out three options trades from them now with over 1,000% gains each time, and I'm a true rookie!
If you&rsquo;re seeing this, Amber, thanks for taking the time to leave us such kind words. And congratulations on the big wins!
James&rsquo; Blue Spike Indicator has been on a real hot streak &mdash; delivering huge gains in record time. I&rsquo;d love to know how it feels to turn $1,000 into more than $10,000 in less than two weeks.
And I&rsquo;m even more impressed that you&rsquo;ve only recently started trading options!
So many new members ask us how to get started, from finding a broker to understanding stock options. We have all those answers in our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">FREE Wealth Desk library</a> &mdash; which I&rsquo;m assuming you used to get your account up and running.
I&rsquo;m glad that knowledge is literally paying off for you&hellip; and I look forward to hearing from you again when Altucher&rsquo;s True Alpha delivers even more gains!
Michael V. also gave us maximum stars in his Google review to say:
I have subscribed to many memberships in gaining information about stock trading. Paradigm Press is by far the best. I&rsquo;ve decided to join Paradigm&rsquo;s Omega Wealth Circle&hellip;
That&rsquo;s a stellar compliment, Michael. I&rsquo;m not sure if you make a point of reading this weekly Concierge Letter. If you do, thanks for trusting us enough to join our highest level of service.
With Omega Wealth Circle, you&rsquo;ll get a lifetime of every service we publish &mdash; giving you the widest range of recommendations we offer.
And don&rsquo;t forget your membership also gets you a free ticket to our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/gold-vs-bitcoin-save-the-date#wc">upcoming Paradigm Shift Summit</a>. So I hope to see you Oct. 9 and 10 in Nashville, Tenn.
(We still have seats available for members who aren&rsquo;t part of the Omega Wealth Circle. <a href="https://pro.paradigm-press.info/m/2450490">Click here to secure your spot</a>.)
Finally for today, Harlan S. writes James Altucher to say:
I paid for advice. It is insulting to continue to dangle &ldquo;secret&rdquo; trades and ask for money. 
I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, Harlan, because I take complaints like this very seriously.
You joined Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network for research, analysis and stock recommendations &mdash; which our team continues to deliver.
Consider the reports you received when you signed up&hellip; bursting with stocks and cryptocurrencies you could add to your portfolio right away.
Or the frequent video updates and webinars with James&hellip; each offering in-depth insights on top-of-mind topics.
And don&rsquo;t forget your monthly issues&hellip; featuring fresh picks as well as a review of the biggest bargains in the open portfolio.
It&rsquo;s all the information you need to build your wealth &mdash; delivered straight to your inbox week after week.
But some members crave more. They want deeper dives into specific stocks&hellip; speculative strategies for chances to score bigger gains&hellip; riskier plays promising quicker returns&hellip;
There&rsquo;s nothing &ldquo;secret&rdquo; about these kinds of opportunities. They&rsquo;re just not appropriate for a large audience.
So we create separate services that make it easier for members to get the strategies they want &mdash; while helping prevent others from making trades they&rsquo;re completely unprepared for.
If you&rsquo;re not interested in paying a little more to learn advanced techniques, no problem. The advice you receive from Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network can help you reach your goals.
But we&rsquo;re also standing by to help take your portfolio to a new level!
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum.

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
The markets will be closed Thursday, June 19, for the federal holiday.
If Wall Street is as wild this week as our team predicts, investors will welcome the break!
Just don&rsquo;t expect things to calm down anytime soon.
In fact, our most storied forecaster warns that stocks look ready to fall as we head into the summer months.
Mason Sexton famously warned people to bet against the stock market 11 days before Black Monday in October 1987.
He did it again in 2022&hellip; telling investors that stocks had topped out just before the NASDAQ plunged 36% in a few months.
More recently, Mason&rsquo;s forecasts have correctly predicted which way individual stocks like Tesla Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/TSLA">TSLA</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/GOOG">GOOG</a>) were heading &mdash; giving his members a chance to profit from the moves.
Mason&rsquo;s charting system is unlike anything else we offer&hellip; but you can&rsquo;t argue with his results.
Now he says something big is coming &mdash; volatility unlike anyone has seen in a long, long time.
There is still time to prepare, however. And Mason&rsquo;s constantly updated charts can guide you to profits through the worst of it.
It&rsquo;s your best chance to be ready for Wall Street to go crazy!

Ominous Signs: Missile Strikes, “No Kings” Protests, Volatility

Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025&hellip;
Write down that date now!
It&rsquo;s when James Altucher and Jim Rickards will sit down for a no-holds-barred debate about one of Wall Street&rsquo;s most important topics&hellip;
Gold vs. Bitcoin!
And you&rsquo;ll have a chance to witness it live and in-person&hellip; along with getting our analysts&rsquo; latest thoughts on a wide range of profitable investment ideas.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

<ul>
<li><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/google-is-no-kodak/">&ldquo;Google Is No Kodak&rdquo; (Daily Reckoning, Adam Sharp)</a>: A few years back, we warned that Alphabet Inc.

Now those comparisons are cropping up again&hellip; but Adam argues there&rsquo;s a fundamental difference between the two companies. Adam&rsquo;s deep dive into Google&rsquo;s business model was his most-liked article last week. And I think it&rsquo;s a great example of the kind of wide-ranging viewpoints that Paradigm Press brings you every day!</li>

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
Altucher&rsquo;s True Alpha just gave its members a chance to see 603% gains in less than a week. So naturally, Zach Scheidt and James have been receiving lots of praise.
&ldquo;Best results I have seen with options, and I have been trading options for 12+ years,&rdquo; says Gordon S. in a five-star Google review.
&ldquo;Altucher's True Alpha is the best newsletter that I have come across in [the] past 10 years. Zach Scheidt is a seasoned trader and very knowledgeable,&rdquo; writes Anuj G. in another Google review.
&ldquo;Thank you James and Zach for your tireless efforts to help others,&rdquo; Carolyn S. tells us in a survey response. &ldquo;I have truly benefited from your wisdom and experience.&rdquo;
Zach and James appreciate all the great feedback. And I congratulate everyone who took advantage of this recommendation.
I&rsquo;m sure it won&rsquo;t be long before another big win comes along!
But they weren&rsquo;t the only ones delivering big wins last week. Julie B., who is a member of several Jim Rickards services, sent me an email saying:
It was very exciting for me today to have executed my first two option plays &mdash; one for a 137% gain in only four days and one for 92% gain in a couple weeks! While I know there will be losses, I can at least have hope and see a financial future that I had previously thought was out of my reach! A big thank you to Jim and the team at Paradigm!
Congratulations, Julie! Stock options have a reputation for being risky and complicated. So I&rsquo;m glad you were able to overcome any hesitation and learned the truth first-hand&hellip;
The right option plays can kickstart your wealth into high gear!
I&rsquo;m also happy to hear that you understand that not every play will be successful. Proper money management is critical to your long-term success. Our team&rsquo;s instructions can help ensure you don&rsquo;t get in over your head.
Speaking of which, Bob O. says:
Options trading. Could I get help on making my first trade?

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp"><a id="wc"></a>The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
Jim Rickards loves precious metals and is deeply skeptical of cryptocurrencies.
James Altucher likes precious metals but thinks Bitcoin and other cryptos offer much bigger profit potential.
In 2018, they both appeared on stage to defend their viewpoints.
And while Jim and James have appeared together several times since then, they haven&rsquo;t had another one-on-one debate&hellip;
That&rsquo;s why you&rsquo;ll want to join us Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn. for our live and in-person&nbsp;Paradigm Shift Summit.
Jim and James&rsquo; &ldquo;Currency Cage Match&rdquo; is just one highlight we have planned.
Almost our entire team will be there, too, sharing their absolute latest thoughts on the markets&hellip; as well as specific recommendations for shooting for oversized gains.
We won&rsquo;t be broadcasting the Paradigm Shift Summit, however.
The only way to get our analysts&rsquo; insights live is to be in the room with us.
So look for complete details in your Paradigm Shift Summit invitation. It should arrive in your inbox later today!

“Gold vs. Bitcoin”: Save the Date!

With Donald Trump in the White House, it seems like anything can happen on Wall Street.
So our team is working extra-hard to predict the market&rsquo;s next moves &mdash; and how you can profit from them.

But as Sean explains, that&rsquo;s actually the point. Silver is so important to the military, the U.S. government is actively keeping its price down. The only question is, how long can these artificial controls last? While Publisher Matt Insley preferred <a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/tariff-turmoil-trumps-trade-war-hits-legal-landmine">Sean&rsquo;s look at Trump&rsquo;s latest tariff loss</a>, this was Sean&rsquo;s most-liked article last week.

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
Memorial Day meant a short trading week &mdash; giving our analysts some time to pause and reflect.
So I asked what YOU were planning to buy this summer.
Not surprisingly, gold stocks came out on top&hellip;
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/vha3zb1lo47k/aKnC75GfPDjeYd4jmLu0h/277775c0e58324caffd1cccd7a21ae1a/ppg-concierge-06-02-25-img-1.png" alt="" width="540px" />
The reasons why weren&rsquo;t surprising, either.
Gail G. voted for gold because &ldquo;people are worried, we have no real money and gold is real.&rdquo;
Gerard B., meanwhile, thinks &ldquo;President Trump will take us back to a gold and silver standard to control future government spending.&rdquo;
Oddly enough, Robert B. takes the opposite view.
&ldquo;Trump&rsquo;s spending bill will be ratified in some form,&rdquo; he tells us. &ldquo;More debt, dollar devaluation, inflation, more consumer movement to gold.&rdquo;
I was also surprised that &ldquo;Other&rdquo; had such a strong showing &mdash; meaning members didn&rsquo;t agree with ANY of the categories we offered. But looking at those responses tells me we just weren&rsquo;t specific enough.
Kraig M., for example, says the best bet &ldquo;will be the junior gold stocks.&rdquo; In a similar vein, Tom S. chose &ldquo;Other,&rdquo; telling us he&rsquo;s buying &ldquo;gold and silver bullion [because] nothing in the world has changed.&rdquo;
People who truly picked &ldquo;Other&rdquo; include Joe B., who says, &ldquo;Foreign stocks are significantly undervalued.&rdquo; Brian C. is looking at &ldquo;defense and AI-related energy, like nuclear and gas pipelines.&rdquo;
Cryptocurrencies and tech stocks were also popular choices.
Kenny H. says, &ldquo;People will continue to be more informed and better educated about crypto and how to use and invest in it.&rdquo; 
Clifton J. agrees that &ldquo;conversations on infrastructure for mass adoption case uses will begin to educate what crypto and blockchain is, how it can benefit business and society.&rdquo;
Mass adoption was also the reason many members are bullish on tech.
&ldquo;AI is enabling many areas to improve rapidly with more effectiveness. crypto automation, mining research via sensors, Communications,&rdquo; Randy J. says. &ldquo;All should become cheaper, faster, better made and way better.&rdquo;
Perhaps the biggest surprise was how few people are expecting stocks to fall or are avoiding the markets all together.
Marji S. is one of the few people focusing on downside stocks, telling us, &ldquo;I think there will be a significant downturn lasting a year or so.&rdquo; 
Stephen S. is sticking with cash due to a &ldquo;possible reset to the stock market.&rdquo; Chuck G., on the other hand, advises waiting for the dust to settle &mdash; &ldquo;then look for bargains in August.&rdquo; 
All in all, it was a very enlightening survey&hellip; giving our team plenty of insights into your thinking as we head into the summer months.
I&rsquo;ll tell you what they&rsquo;ve got their eyes on in the coming weeks!
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum and Concierge Letter.
Remember, your feedback is vital to our success&hellip; so please email me at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.

Gold, Crypto, Tech and Other

Yesterday was the unofficial first day of summer&hellip;
And our team expects it to be a quiet week as Wall Street takes some extra time off.
So it&rsquo;s a perfect time to ask what you think!
It&rsquo;s your chance to let me know where you think the markets are going in the next three months &mdash; and where you think the biggest opportunities lie.
Basically, what are you buying this summer?
I&rsquo;ll explain more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum&hellip;

<h3>The Reader Forum:</h3>
Last week, Greg Guenthner&rsquo;s Cash Line system gave his Trading Desk members a chance to see 512% gains on D-Wave Quantum Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/QBTS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">QBTS</a>) call options in just six days.
Not surprisingly, we&rsquo;ve received a lot of positive feedback about that trade. Michael D. left us a five-star Google review, adding:
<blockquote>QBTS was a great call, thanks! More than doubled my money and still have over half to go!</blockquote>
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Michael, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with The Trading Desk!
As you point out, Greg recommended selling just half your position&hellip; meaning your remaining options could become even more valuable.
And while QBTS is Greg&rsquo;s biggest win so far this year, he&rsquo;s delivered plenty of other wins over the past few weeks &mdash; including multiple opportunities to double your money or more.
So I expect it won&rsquo;t be long before you have other big gains to be happy about!
Next, Omega Wealth Circle member Kerry M. tells us:
<blockquote>What you are helping me and my family set ourselves up for is beyond &lsquo;some&rsquo; financial wealth now. It is generations of wealth. We are truly grateful.</blockquote>
Wow, Kerry! I know Publisher Matt Insley thanked you for your kind words in last week&rsquo;s Omega Wealth Circle Executive Summary. But I want to share my appreciation for you as well.
You&rsquo;ve shown a lot of loyalty and determination by becoming a member of our most elite level of service. And I&rsquo;m very glad to hear that our research and analysis is paying off for you.
You are the living embodiment of what we are trying to accomplish at Paradigm Press. Thanks for telling us about your success&hellip; and I hope you&rsquo;ll continue to keep us up to date on your wealth journey!
Finally for today, Timothy B. tells us:
<blockquote>I would like to see the team be more communicative with the losing trades. I'm no expert, but it seems that we want to minimize the loss on trades that go the wrong way&hellip;. Its crickets for commentary on these. Please have the team be more communicative sooner on the trades that are losing to close them out before the trade is a complete loss.</blockquote>
I understand your concern, Timothy. No one likes to lose money. It can be doubly frustrating when it seems like our analysts have gone silent on the matter.
Rest assured that our team takes money management and risk control very seriously. We don&rsquo;t stick with a losing trade simply out of stubbornness or pride.
At the same time, it doesn&rsquo;t make sense to sell everytime a stock or option&rsquo;s price starts to fall. In fact, with today&rsquo;s market volatility, there&rsquo;s a very good chance prices will bounce the other way. So our analysts have to balance the odds of a turnaround against the risk of the asset ultimately going lower.
It&rsquo;s particularly tricky with options, which have a very real chance of rebounding right before expiration.
And even if it doesn&rsquo;t look like that will happen, it might still make sense to hold the option until expiration. That&rsquo;s because brokers often charge you for options transactions, including selling your position. Those added fees will make the loss sting all the more.
We do try to be open and honest about our losses, though. And I&rsquo;ll remind the team to keep our members in mind when it looks like a trade won&rsquo;t go our way.
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum.

<h3>The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h3>
Every week I share some of our team&rsquo;s latest research and analysis &mdash; clueing you onto your best chances for profits in the months ahead.
But this Memorial Day week, I want to flip the table&hellip; giving you a chance to share your thoughts on where the markets are headed.
Do you think cryptocurrencies will continue to hit new highs? Or will gold and silver outshine digital wealth?
Maybe you think the &ldquo;Magnificent 7&rdquo; stocks are due for another run. Perhaps oil and energy offer better odds of success.
It&rsquo;s even possible you don&rsquo;t trust anything right now except cold, hard cash.
Whatever your opinion, I want to hear it.

Tell us which investment you think offers the biggest returns in the next three months, plus a short explanation of why.

Your Top Summer Buy!

The mainstream press loves giving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a hard time.
Just don&rsquo;t let it distract you from the truth.
Under RFK Jr.&rsquo;s watch, Americans are about to see more medical breakthroughs than anytime in recent memory.
Expect major progress in the fights against cancer, Alzheimer&rsquo;s and other deadly diseases.
And if you invest in the companies developing these revolutionary treatments now, you could lock in major gains when they become household names.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/oil-guns-and-freedom-albertas-american-dream">&ldquo;Oil, Guns and Freedom: Alberta&rsquo;s American Dream,&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/oil-guns-and-freedom-albertas-american-dream">Rude Awakening,</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/oil-guns-and-freedom-albertas-american-dream"> Sean Ring)</a>: Mark Carney&rsquo;s election victory in Canada has re-ignited Alberta&rsquo;s desire to secede from the country &mdash; possibly becoming a U.S. state instead. Sean believes Donald Trump would welcome the breakaway province with open arms. He then lays out all the reasons why the move would benefit both of us &mdash; as well the obstacles preventing it from becoming a reality. Sean&rsquo;s take received several Top Story nominations from readers&hellip; so it&rsquo;s little surprise that it was also our most-liked e-letter of the week!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://million-mission.com/posts/i-made-a-huge-mistake">&ldquo;I Made a Huge Mistake&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://million-mission.com/posts/i-made-a-huge-mistake">The Million Mission</a><a href="https://million-mission.com/posts/i-made-a-huge-mistake">, Davis Wilson)</a>: Davis is still trying to trade his way to $1 million. And he&rsquo;d be a lot closer to his goal if he followed his own advice. A lucrative market pattern revealed itself&hellip; but Davis chose to stay on the sidelines. In this confessional essay, he walks you through exactly what he did wrong. You&rsquo;ll also learn an important lesson that could prevent you from making a similar mistake.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/the-next-ai-rush-isnt-digital">&ldquo;The Next AI Rush Isn&rsquo;t Digital&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/the-next-ai-rush-isnt-digital">Paradigm Mastermind Group</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/the-next-ai-rush-isnt-digital">, Chris Campbell)</a>: So far, all of the talk about artificial intelligence (AI) has focused on software applications like chatbots. But as Chris recently told Paradigm Mastermind Group members, the smart money is already starting to focus on the next stage of AI development. It&rsquo;s only a matter of time before everyone else catches on to the shift &mdash; and I think you deserve to know what&rsquo;s coming. So I unlocked Chris&rsquo; look ahead for you!</li>

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

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
In last week&rsquo;s Reader Forum, I asked if you <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/proof-that-prudent-trading-pays-off#forum">skip our analysts&rsquo; options recommendations and just buy the underlying shares</a> instead.
Our <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">Concierge inbox</a> overflowed with replies&hellip;
Mary M. tells us:
I am also a member who is into the shares choice instead of options, but I am a new member. Maybe I will consider options later as I get more comfortable. I believe the data analysis is beneficial either way you go, and I appreciate having that information to make informed decisions.
Welcome aboard, Mary &mdash; and thanks for joining the conversation!
I&rsquo;m glad to hear you&rsquo;re finding our research useful, even if you don&rsquo;t follow our instructions to the letter.
We&rsquo;re all about freedom here &mdash; especially the freedom to choose your own financial path. But please let me know if you ever decide to give options a try.
Until then, I wish you much success with your stock plays!
Next, longtime member Philippe V. says he takes Zach Scheidt&rsquo;s recommendations and expands on them, adding:
I am currently long on Palantir Technologies Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/PLTR">PLTR</a>)... 80 shares bought at $64.57, now $127.87&hellip; Then I add to it a range of options&hellip; at $75, $80 and $100, with expiry of 1/16/26. This gives me a fairly long time to watch the market and pull the trigger&hellip; I did the same with NVIDIA Corp. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/NVDA">NVDA</a>) and saw returns of greater than 1,000%! And currently with SPDR Gold Trust (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/GLD">GLD</a>), which I've netted so far in two months over $10k. 
Congratulations on 11 successful years with us, Phillipe&hellip; and also on the big wins that our research inspired!
We don&rsquo;t currently have any services that match stock shares with options plays &mdash; but looking at your results, I wonder if we should start one.
I hope you&rsquo;ll keep us updated on your progress!
Finally for today, Jay C. tells us:
Thank you so much for the forum emails! Really enjoying them! I had been meaning to ask Jim Rickards or Zach Scheidt about some foreign OTC &amp; other securities&hellip;
I&rsquo;m glad to hear that the Reader Forum is worth your time, Jay. I enjoy this weekly opportunity to address our members&rsquo; questions and concerns.
But please remember that Paradigm Press isn&rsquo;t authorized to give individual investment advice. So Jim and Zach can&rsquo;t share their thoughts on the list of stocks you sent &mdash; either in a personal reply or a public forum like this.
Any answer would seem like it was meant specifically for you!
You&rsquo;ll also notice that I left out the specific list of stocks. That&rsquo;s because over-the-counter stocks are often thinly traded. Even a little bit of buying can send their prices artificially higher.
We don&rsquo;t want to even risk being accused of front-running or pumping-and-dumping stocks &mdash; letting someone take advantage of an artificial boost.
If these stocks are worth investing in, our team will find them through their proven research methods.
Then they&rsquo;re free to share their analysis with whomever they want!

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a divisive choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I still see headlines every day criticizing what he says&hellip; how he runs his department&hellip; even where he swims.
That&rsquo;s good news for us, though &mdash; because it means no one&rsquo;s paying attention to the medical breakthroughs we&rsquo;ll see during his term.
Right now, hundreds of companies are using artificial intelligence to rapidly develop and test new medicines.
They can identify false starts and zero in on promising candidates faster than ever &mdash; saving time and money in the race to save lives.
Even better, RFK Jr. is streamlining the FDA&rsquo;s approval process&hellip; meaning these revolutionary treatments will be available as soon as possible.
Our Ray Blanco keeps a close eye on drug pipelines, looking for companies with an advantage in the search for next-generation cures.
He says the changes RFK Jr. is making &ldquo;could dramatically cut years off development timelines and reduce research &amp; development costs by tens of millions per drug program.&rdquo;
That&rsquo;s why Ray is bullish on the S&amp;P Biotech ETF (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/xbi">XBI</a>), which tracks some of the top names in tech-driven medical research.
While the ETF has struggled this year, changes at the FDA &ldquo;could serve as the catalyst that finally recognizes the true value these companies represent.&rdquo;
In other words, investors may finally realize what these companies are up to &mdash; and start buying in.
But Ray says the biggest opportunities are in smaller research firms that are flying under Wall Street&rsquo;s radar.
In fact, Ray is tracking one small company with a breakthrough cancer treatment.
He&rsquo;ll have more to say about it later this week&hellip;

ppg-issue-05-19-25-img-post

Cash in on RFK’s FDA

&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t get too caught up in the insanity!&rdquo;
That&rsquo;s the advice from one of our top trading analysts at the start of what&rsquo;s shaping up to be another wild week on Wall Street.
And given our analyst&rsquo;s recent track record, I&rsquo;d pay close attention to what he sees ahead &mdash; especially if you want to make money during the market&rsquo;s ups and downs.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>

<li><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/rare-earths-disgusting-secrets">&ldquo;Rare Earths, Disgusting Secrets&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/rare-earths-disgusting-secrets">Altucher Confidential</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/rare-earths-disgusting-secrets">, Chris Campbell)</a>: 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&rsquo;s why rare earth deposits in Greenland, Ukraine and the United States are suddenly getting a lot of press. But as Chris explains, there&rsquo;s a reason the Chinese took the lead in this industry&hellip; and finding alternative sources won&rsquo;t be quick or cheap.

But now Buffett is poised to step down as CEO&hellip; opening the possibility that he may leave the company permanently. And Enrique believes that will be the end of Berkshire as we know it.

First from the mailbag today, Omega Wealth Circle member Gordon F. responds to <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trump-vs-china-the-biggest-losers#forum">Rebecca W.&rsquo;s request that Paradigm Press adopt a &ldquo;house view.&rdquo;</a> 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, &ldquo;If two people always agree on everything, one of them is not necessary.&rdquo; I greatly appreciate the diversity of opinion from a variety of very intelligent and experienced advisors.
Thanks for writing in, Gordon! And since you&rsquo;re an Omega Wealth Circle member, I know you&rsquo;re serious about wanting a wide range of insights and strategies. You have access to our entire team!
So I&rsquo;m very glad to hear you&rsquo;re happy with what we share. Hopefully you&rsquo;ll share some success stories with us, too!
In a similar vein, Matthew M. left us a five-star Google review saying:
I&rsquo;ve been following Jim, James and the whole crew of amazing people at Paradigm Press, and they are knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you! I&rsquo;ve gained my initial investment back many times over!
Wow, Matthew, I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, because that&rsquo;s an amazing compliment! Thanks for taking the time to share it with the world.
I&rsquo;m very glad to hear that you&rsquo;ve had so much success with our team&rsquo;s recommendations. Now that you&rsquo;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&rsquo; 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&rsquo;re not the only member who is wary of stock options.
It sounds like you&rsquo;ve already looked at all of our trading resources, including <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/paradigm-press-presents-the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-stock-options">The Ultimate Beginner&rsquo;s Guide to Stock Options</a> on our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">Wealth Desk</a>. If that didn&rsquo;t convince you to consider options trading, I won&rsquo;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 &mdash; and is none of our business.
So I don&rsquo;t really know how many people buy stock shares instead of the options our team recommends. We&rsquo;ll occasionally hear from members who did well just buying targeted stocks. Still, we don&rsquo;t have any hard data.
Don&rsquo;t let that stop you, though. In fact, I&rsquo;d love to hear how it works out for you. If anyone else buys shares instead of options for our recommendations, <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">drop me a line</a>, too!

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
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&rsquo;s next social media post could send the markets in an entirely new direction.
That&rsquo;s why Greg Guenthner is recommending caution as the trading week begins.
&ldquo;We have to continue to make prudent trading decisions despite all the noise in this market,&rdquo; he says.
Since the market volatility began in April, Greg&rsquo;s Cash Line system has given his Trading Desk members chances to see gains of 28% in five days with Nike Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/NKE">NKE</a>)... 44% in just two days with Rocket Lab USA Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/RKLB">RKLB</a>)... and a giant 95% win with MARA Holdings Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/MARA">MARA</a>) in 3 days!
I guess prudence can really pay off!
Looking ahead, Greg says the S&amp;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. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/NVDA">NVDA</a>) 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 &ldquo;unforeseen shenanigans&rdquo; could impact Greg&rsquo;s analysis.
That&rsquo;s why he issues new guidance every business morning&hellip; even chatting live with Trading Desk members before Wall Street&rsquo;s opening bell.
But now you have some idea of what to expect as the week begins!

Proof That Prudent Trading Pays Off

Wall Street is in for another rough ride&hellip;
And our team has pinpointed the stocks that will suffer the most.
If you&rsquo;re holding them hoping for a rebound, you might be out of luck.
In fact, you should consider strategies for cashing in on them as they fall.
I&rsquo;ll share some details after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>

In the United States, the Trump administration is about to jumpstart a new age of prosperity. Canada, meanwhile, is about to take a giant step backwards.

Dave reminds us why Bill Clinton should have been impeached for it&hellip; and shares the infuriating reason he wasn&rsquo;t.

<h2 class="subhead nbp"><a id="forum"></a>The Reader Forum:</h2>
First from the mailbag, Henry K. reached out to me with a membership problem but adds:
Thank you for all the great information, and the growth in Paradigm Press Group I have seen since 2020 is almost overwhelming&hellip; All praise to James, Chris and all the great people with whom you work.
I&rsquo;m glad my team was able to address your concerns, Henry! And thank you for attaching these kind words to your request. I&rsquo;ve let our analysts know about your appreciation.
You&rsquo;re also right that Paradigm Press has grown rapidly over the past few years. We also have a few exciting new services on the drawing board.
But we&rsquo;ll take care not to overwhelm you with great ideas for growing your wealth.
Next, Phil Hudson left us a five-star Google review saying:
Altucher&rsquo;s True Alpha and The Maverick are really great. Clear process, great explanation and I'm making lots of money following their advice.
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Phil, thanks for taking the time to write a review. Hopefully this means you&rsquo;ve been benefiting from James Altucher&rsquo;s and Enrique Abeyta&rsquo;s big wins.
As you probably know, James teams up with trading expert Zach Scheidt for Altucher&rsquo;s True Alpha. And despite the volatile markets, they&rsquo;ve given members chances to see 50%... 61%... 101%... 121%... and 287% gains &mdash; all in the past few weeks alone!
Enrique is also on a hot streak at The Maverick. He&rsquo;s recommended closing just five plays for losses this year &mdash; out of a total 29 sell recommendations. That&rsquo;s a win rate of 83%!
Last week alone he said to take profits on five stocks, including an 11% gain from Vistra Corp. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/VST">VST</a>) in just two months.
Remember, both Zach and Enrique are former hedge fund managers &mdash; which is probably why they are so good at finding great plays and explaining them to you in plain English.
So I expect many more wins in your future!
Speaking of Enrique, Rebecca W. saw our &ldquo;<a href="https://paradigmpressgroup.com/jekyll-island-2025">Final Secret of Jekyll Island</a>&rdquo; broadcast and wrote him to say:
Jim Rickards was saying to get out of stocks, and that they won&rsquo;t recover for YEARS. I personally disagree with him, but I&rsquo;m wondering why you have totally different views IN HOUSE on the market? James Altucher is much more bullish on certain stocks and of course AI. But Rickards is against the market. It can be confusing for us &mdash; who to believe? I think one company should have one HOUSE VIEW and not present conflicting theories all the time.
I&rsquo;m not sure if Enrique will address this, Rebecca, so hopefully you&rsquo;ll see my answer here.
First, keep in mind that the whole point of Paradigm Press is to bring you a wide range of independent, expert analysis.
That independence is a core part of our identity, which is why we don&rsquo;t have a &ldquo;house view.&rdquo; Our team is encouraged to go where their research takes them &mdash; even if it seems to contradict something one of our other analysts is saying.
But that doesn&rsquo;t mean you need to choose who to believe. In fact, the smartest thing you can do is take all of our experts&rsquo; advice into consideration when choosing where to put your money.
Remember, even in the worst market environments, there are always opportunities to grow your wealth. So invest with that in mind.
You could put some money into James&rsquo; recommendations for a chance to cash in on Wall Street&rsquo;s latest trends. Then consider Jim&rsquo;s analysis to hedge your portfolio against downturns. And Enrique gives you chances to grab short-term gains no matter which way the markets go.
In short, don&rsquo;t go all-in on one of our analysts. Instead, use their combined wisdom to diversify your portfolio. Do it right and you&rsquo;ll come out ahead &mdash; no matter who ends up being right!

Now, here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s happening around the water cooler this week&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Water Cooler &mdash; Upcoming Events and More</h2>
The major indexes rallied last week thanks to better-than-expected employment numbers and news that China might be willing to negotiate on tariffs.
Just don&rsquo;t expect it to last.
According to Rickards&rsquo; Senior Analyst Dan Amoss, &ldquo;The Chinese side says Trump must drop all unilateral tariffs before they can even set up an official meeting.&rdquo;
In other words, Trump will have to cancel the current tariffs before China starts talking.
And Trump might see the market&rsquo;s upturn as proof that Wall Street wants him to be tough on China.
So expect more back-and-forth bickering that sends the markets bouncing up and down again.
Meanwhile, U.S. ports are going idle thanks to a lack of overseas cargo. It could spur the kind of shortages we saw during the COVID lockdowns.
The first to feel the crunch will be the trucks and trains that carry those goods across the country.
The transportation industry.
&ldquo;Transport stocks will have another big leg lower through the summer,&rdquo; Dan predicts.
We&rsquo;re talking about companies like United Parcel Service Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/UPS">UPS</a>)... Union Pacific Corp. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/UNP">UNP</a>)... Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/ODFL">ODFL</a>) &mdash; or basically any stock in the iShares Transportation ETF (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/IYT">IYT</a>).
If you&rsquo;re holding any of these stocks, you should consider an exit strategy before Wall Street realizes the danger.
You could also try to cash in on their fall using put options. (Our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/paradigm-press-presents-the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-stock-options">Ultimate Beginner&rsquo;s Guide to Stock Options</a> can help you get started.)
