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

It&rsquo;s official&hellip;
2025 is going to be all about YOU!
In a minute, I&rsquo;ll share some of the predictions you and your fellow members sent in&hellip; revealing the hopes and fears you have going into the New Year.
Then I&rsquo;ll tell you about the big things you can expect from Paradigm Press over the next 12 months &mdash; designed to help make 2025 your BEST year ever!
But first, let&rsquo;s take a 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://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/the-rise-of-kash-patel-in-trumps-inner-circle">&ldquo;The Rise of Kash Patel in Trump&rsquo;s Inner Circle&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/the-rise-of-kash-patel-in-trumps-inner-circle">Election Insider: The Rundown</a><a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/the-rise-of-kash-patel-in-trumps-inner-circle">, Matt Insley)</a>:The election may be over, but Matt and The Rundown are still providing vital intel about Donald Trump&rsquo;s incoming administration. He recently shared readers&rsquo; opinions about embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Then he dug into the controversies surrounding potential FBI director Kash Patel. To be fair, Matt&rsquo;s <a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/jfk-assassination-file-rfk-jrs-quest">take on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a> 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.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/the-art-of-the-endgame">&ldquo;The Art of the End Game&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/the-art-of-the-endgame">Rude Awakening</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/the-art-of-the-endgame">, Sean Ring)</a>: The sudden fall of Bashar al-Assad&rsquo;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 &mdash; which extends far beyond the Middle East. Then he explains why it could be a major step in restoring the United States&rsquo; credibility&hellip; even if Russia ends up conquering Ukraine. This was our most liked e-letter last week &mdash; so don&rsquo;t miss it!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/microsofts-usd200-billion-bitcoin-moment">&ldquo;Microsoft&rsquo;s $200 Billion Bitcoin Moment&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/microsofts-usd200-billion-bitcoin-moment">Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/microsofts-usd200-billion-bitcoin-moment">, James Altucher)</a>: Donald Trump wants to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Other governments are considering following suit. And James says it&rsquo;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. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/MSFT">MSFT</a>) shareholders passed on a chance to join this revolution &mdash; for now. James&rsquo; analysis was one of our most-liked stories last week. And with Amazon.com Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/AMZN">AMZN</a>) now considering a similar measure&hellip; I&rsquo;ve unlocked James&rsquo; critical insights for you.</li>
</ul>
Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups 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">The Reader Forum:</h2>
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&rsquo; 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&rsquo;m happy about all of the big gains that our team delivers, I think you hit on something else they provide that&rsquo;s much more rare these days &mdash; peace of mind.
Our analysts dig deep to find the stories no one is reporting&hellip; and the opportunities everyone else is overlooking. So you&rsquo;re much more informed than the average investor &mdash; ready to face whatever the markets throw your way.
I&rsquo;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. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/crdo">CRDO</a>), 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&rsquo;t mind me sharing this here, David &mdash; because I&rsquo;m incredibly happy to hear about your success!
And I&rsquo;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 &mdash; and you&rsquo;d still come out ahead!
But instead, the shares are now up 327% from the team&rsquo;s original buy recommendation!
I&rsquo;ll also note that the S&amp;P 500 is only up about 14% since June 1. So you&rsquo;ve made three times what the average index fund investor has made!
That tells me that your wife is right &mdash; you are a genius&hellip; at the very least for deciding to join our highest level of service!
Finally for today, Dennis K. says:
I&rsquo;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&rsquo;re enjoying Paradigm Press so far!
This weekly Concierge Letter gives members a behind-the-scenes look at what&rsquo;s happening at Paradigm Press. You&rsquo;ll find our top stories&hellip; news about upcoming events&hellip; and comments from other members.
The Reader Forum shares compliments, questions and even complaints &mdash; part of our quest to make sure we&rsquo;re providing you the absolute best service.
So it&rsquo;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&hellip; 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&rsquo;d also have to worry that some people would try to front-run stocks &mdash; using our platform to try to artificially boost share prices, then selling for a profit when our other members buy in.
It&rsquo;s just a big potential mess that we&rsquo;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&hellip; The Maverick&hellip; and Jim Rickards&rsquo; Unrestricted Clearance to connect with other members.
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum.
Remember, your feedback is vital to our success&hellip; so please email me at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
Questions? I&rsquo;ll get answers! Comments? Let me hear them! Problems? I&rsquo;ll try to solve them!
This is YOUR forum!
(And don&rsquo;t forget, we also have a FREE library of introductory investment guides &mdash; covering everything from finding a broker to how to trade stock options &mdash; on our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">Wealth Desk</a>. For customer service issues, please use our <a href="https://paradigmpressgroup.com/contact-us">contact page</a>.)
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>
In case there was any doubt, Matt made it perfectly clear.
&ldquo;2025 will be the year of the boss,&rdquo; he declared during our staff meeting. &ldquo;Our members!&rdquo;
As I mentioned last week, our entire team was in town to map out <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/3-shocks-in-2025">Paradigm&rsquo;s predictions, strategies and goals</a> for the next 12 months.
We also recommitted ourselves to providing you the absolute best research, analysis and service&hellip; especially because you&rsquo;re expecting a wild year in the markets.
That was the biggest lesson from the survey I sent in the last Concierge Letter.&nbsp;
Renee S. predicts &ldquo;higher prices, chaos in the world, more people struggling.&rdquo;
Faizal H. thinks there will be &ldquo;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.&rdquo;
Dorthea D. thinks &ldquo;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.&rdquo;
Paul M. tells us, &ldquo;At some point the market has to reflect the reality of the global economic downturn and correct its valuation.&rdquo;
Ellen K. says, &ldquo;six months into 2025, global unrest followed by 25 years of war throughout the world, including the USA.&rdquo; 
Not everyone was so negative, of course.
John R. believes &ldquo;some cryptocurrencies will grow more than 500%.&rdquo;
Deborah R. tells us, &ldquo;The market will be at all-time highs!&rdquo;
Greg G. sees &ldquo;a bright future if the opposition doesn't try to sabotage Trump and he can hold off on spending.&rdquo; 
Rob B. predicts &ldquo;silver $54.&rdquo;
Cedric C. simply tells us, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s gonna be a good year.&rdquo; 
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&rsquo;re getting ready to launch new services&hellip; hold new events&hellip; possibly even expand our in-person Paradigm Shift Summit.
So I hope when it&rsquo;s time to make 2026 predictions, they&rsquo;ll all be positive &mdash; because we helped you achieve your financial goals in 2025!

2025: The Year of You

The value of one of Wall Street&rsquo;s hottest stocks will fall $1 trillion&hellip;
A surprise announcement from China will cause U.S. companies to lose billions of dollars&hellip; 
And doctors will make organ transplant waiting lists a thing of the past&hellip;
Those are just three predictions our team is fleshing out as they head to Baltimore this week.
But I&rsquo;m more interested in hearing how you think the next 12 months will play out!
I&rsquo;ll explain after a 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/microstrategy-vs-bitcoin-which-one-should-you-buy">&ldquo;MicroStrategy vs. Bitcoin &mdash; Which One Should You Buy?&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/microstrategy-vs-bitcoin-which-one-should-you-buy">The Million Mission</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/microstrategy-vs-bitcoin-which-one-should-you-buy">, Davis Wilson)</a>: Bitcoin topped $100,000 last week, up 129% for the year. MicroStrategy Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/MSTR">MSTR</a>) owns a lot of Bitcoin&hellip; and its shares have soared 477% in 2024. So as part of his quest to turn $100,000 into $1 million, Davis considers which investment is set to continue rising. According to his &ldquo;sum-of-the-parts&rdquo; approach, the answer is crystal clear. In fact, he says one of these two assets looks primed for a fall&hellip; giving you a narrow window to avoid danger!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/the-voiceless-diplomats/">&ldquo;The Voiceless Diplomats&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/the-voiceless-diplomats/">Morning Reckoning</a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/the-voiceless-diplomats/">, Sean Ring)</a>: The United States seems to have forgotten what diplomacy is supposed to be about &mdash; which might explain our country&rsquo;s waning influence around the globe. So Sean provides a timely lesson that Washington needs to hear. While Sean&rsquo;s Rude Awakening take on <a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/the-carlson-lavrov-interview">Tucker Carlson&rsquo;s second trip to Russia</a> was our most liked free e-letter last week, this story makes it clear why Carlson&rsquo;s visit matters. So I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me overruling our members!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/a-change-in-the-global-order-of-military-superiority-concierge">&ldquo;A Change in Global Order of Military Superiority&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/a-change-in-the-global-order-of-military-superiority-concierge">The Situation Report With Jim Rickards</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/a-change-in-the-global-order-of-military-superiority-concierge">, Jim Rickards</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/a-change-in-the-global-order-of-military-superiority-concierge">)</a>: During our in-house editorial meeting last week, Byron King shared his prediction that the United States would need to drastically increase military spending and production in 2025. Around the same time, Jim was telling his Situation Report members why. As Jim explains, a single weapon has completely changed the geopolitical status quo. And American technology is woefully behind. It&rsquo;s a story I think every investor needs to hear, which is why I unlocked it for you.</li>
</ul>
Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups 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 with the end of the year in sight, it&rsquo;s time to start thinking about our Top Stories of 2024! Nominate your favorites of the past 12 months at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the Forum today, Billy G. tells us:
I want to thank Chris [Campbell] for his November 27 updates for Altucher&rsquo;s Early-Stage Crypto Investor and Paradigm Mastermind Group subscribers. Crypto&rsquo;s weekly Zoom calls certainly help us stay up-to-date on the rapidly changing crypto world&hellip; The Mastermind updates are a little to spread out for my liking. His Friday update was super helpful. It makes subscribers feel heard and valued. 
I know you sent this to the Paradigm Pressroom&rsquo;s 5 Bullets team, Billy, and they forwarded it to Chris and me. But I couldn&rsquo;t resist a chance to talk about all the great work Chris does for us.
As you probably know, Chris helps shepherd Altucher Confidential &mdash; spotlighting everything happening in the cryptocurrency markets day after day.
He also makes sure Early-Stage Crypto and Paradigm Mastermind members are getting the absolute best research and analysis. He&rsquo;ll be very glad to hear your appreciation for his efforts.
Staying ahead of the crypto markets is practically a full-time job by itself, which is why Early-Stage Crypto members receive more frequent contact. But we&rsquo;ll see if it makes sense to send Paradigm Mastermind Group updates more often!
Next, Tim S. tells a member of my customer service team:
Thank you for helping me to become involved and in joining the Omega Wealth Circle! I am so happy and grateful to be involved with this wonderful organization at Paradigm! I truly feel like I have a lifelong team of "coaches" to lead me with my investment decisions and its journey!! I absolutely recommend this service to anyone to help with their investment journey and decisions along the way.
Congratulations on joining our highest level of service, Tim &mdash; and thanks for the amazing compliment.
Our team is ready to navigate you through whatever the market throws your way&hellip; sharing a wide range of strategies for every possible scenario.
I hope you&rsquo;ll keep in touch to tell us how your journey is going!
Finally for today, Dick N. asks Jim Rickards:
What is Paradigm&rsquo;s policy on disclosure of front running or &ldquo;eating your own cooking&rdquo; or touting your own book?
I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me fielding this one, Dick, since our rules are consistent across all of our services.
We have a zero tolerance policy on front-running recommendations. If one of our analysts already owns a position they recommend to their members, they must disclose it in their write-up.
And once it&rsquo;s been recommended, the analyst cannot sell their personal position without telling readers to close their positions, too. Then there&rsquo;s a grace period for members to act before the analyst can sell.
For some of our services, our analysts recommend a trade&hellip; then make the exact same trade in their portfolio. It&rsquo;s fully disclosed that the analyst is eating their own cooking.
Once again, there&rsquo;s a grace period for members to get in first. And, of course, the analyst still can&rsquo;t sell until after telling members to sell first.
Keep in mind that this policy only applies to our lead analysts. The rest of the staff cannot act on our team&rsquo;s recommendations until 24 hours after they are published.
In short, we make sure our members have the best chance to get in and out of the markets at the absolute best prices.
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>
Our entire team is heading to Baltimore this week to map out our predictions, strategies and goals for 2025.
I&rsquo;ve heard a bit about what our analysts see ahead&hellip; and some of it is pretty shocking!
For example, Enrique Abeyta &mdash; our &ldquo;Maverick&rdquo; trading expert &mdash; foresees a big fall in one of Wall Street&rsquo;s hottest stocks.
&ldquo;At some point in 2025,&rdquo; he tells us, &ldquo;Nvidia Corp. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/NVDA">NVDA</a>) loses $1 trillion of market cap.&rdquo;
Dan Amoss, meanwhile, expects China to reveal that it&rsquo;s sitting on a much larger pile of gold than it&rsquo;s ever reported.
The announcement will help give China the power to sidestep Donald Trump&rsquo;s proposed tariffs.
It will also make it very difficult for U.S. companies to turn a profit in the country &mdash; meaning the billions of dollars they&rsquo;ve spent gaining a foothold in Chinese markets will disappear.
And then there&rsquo;s Ray Blanco&rsquo;s prediction.
With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the Department of Health and Human Services and Martin Makary at the Food and Drug Administration, the stage is set for a wave of innovative treatments.
So Ray declares that 2025 will be &ldquo;the first year where you see a lab-grown heart transplanted into a human being.&rdquo;
It will open a new era of health care, where sick people no longer need to wait months or years for a new heart!
We&rsquo;ll get more details from the team at our Thursday meeting&hellip; and I&rsquo;ll share what I&rsquo;ve learned next week.
But our team also wants to hear your thoughts for what will happen in 2025!
Telling us the perils and opportunities you see over the next 12 months could help steer our research.
<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeH6rA_txkUkf0yCGxLUtCk6NDZNQMIEPk5j1uahubWS4PxqA/viewform?usp=header">So please click here to share your 2025 prediction</a>!

3 Shocks in 2025

The New Year will be here before you know it.
So our team is brainstorming their top market predictions for 2025 and beyond.
Today I&rsquo;ll give you a sneak peek at some of the top-of-mind issues they&rsquo;re considering.
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://dailyreckoning.com/turkey-touchdowns-and-trading/">&ldquo;Turkey, Touchdowns and Trading&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/turkey-touchdowns-and-trading/">Morning Reckoning</a><a href="https://dailyreckoning.com/turkey-touchdowns-and-trading/">, Greg Guenthner)</a>: There are only four trading weeks left in 2024 &mdash; and Greg wants to help kick your trading into overdrive. He examines the ongoing market melt-up, predicting how long it could continue. Then he considers potential perils&hellip; sharing an example from recent history that highlights danger signs to watch out for. His analysis can help you enjoy the holiday season without fretting about the market!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/trumps-secret-list-of-cabinet-contenders">&ldquo;Trump&rsquo;s Secret List of Cabinet Contenders&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/trumps-secret-list-of-cabinet-contenders">The Rundown,</a><a href="https://newsyoucanacton.com/posts/trumps-secret-list-of-cabinet-contenders"> Matt Insley)</a>: The president-elect has made some eye-opening nominations for his administration. Some may struggle to be confirmed by the Senate &mdash; even with Republicans in control. But as Matt explains, maybe that&rsquo;s the point. He lays out what Donald Trump could be trying to accomplish with his Cabinet choices&hellip; and why this strategy may make it easier for him to keep his campaign promises once in office.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/ai-profit-alert-the-ai-gold-rush-just-got-hotter">&ldquo;The AI Gold Rush Just Got Hotter&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/ai-profit-alert-the-ai-gold-rush-just-got-hotter">Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network Pro</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/ai-profit-alert-the-ai-gold-rush-just-got-hotter">, James Altucher)</a>: Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be one of the hottest trends on Wall Street&hellip; and you have a chance to buy one of its biggest names at a bargain price. James recently told his Investment Network Pro readers why this AI stock is poised for a quick rebound. Then he shares where the technology is going next. It&rsquo;s actionable analysis you won&rsquo;t find anywhere else &mdash; which is probably why it was our most-liked story last week. So I unlocked it for you!</li>
</ul>
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>
First in the Reader Forum today, Anthony C. left us a five-star Google review, saying:
Helping this regular man make a difference in his family&rsquo;s financial future is a blessing from all the folks at Paradigm. Wishing everyone who needs a little help out there to sort out the B.S. from countless sources to look into Paradigm Press and all they do.
I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, Anthony&hellip; because I don&rsquo;t think we could ask for a better compliment.
Our team works hard to cut through the endless noise of the markets, getting to the truth of what&rsquo;s really going on &mdash; and bringing you the stories no one else is telling. It&rsquo;s research you can use to make a better life for you and your loved ones!
So thank you for sharing your appreciation with the world. We hope your kind words encourage others to put their faith in us!
Next, Jasmine H. wants Million Mission editor Davis Wilson to know:
I wish I could meet you in person to say thank you, but here is my virtual thank you. Your emails are super informative and fun to read. I look forward to it a few times a week. Keep up the excellent service for people like me.
Davis has already seen this, Jasmine &mdash; but I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me sharing it here.
As you know, The Million Mission is our newest free e-letter&hellip; and one of our most ambitious. Davis wants to turn $100,000 into $1 million in a year or less. And The Million Mission chronicles every step of his journey.
It&rsquo;s more than just walking members through his thinking process. Davis also shares tips and strategies that can help you reach a similar goal &mdash; while having fun along the way.
If you&rsquo;re not getting The Million Mission in your inbox every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday&hellip;

And finally for today, Larissa R. says:
I am curious why Slavic countries are not being covered by your news.
Thanks for writing in, Larissa. While we welcome and appreciate members from other countries, we&rsquo;re a U.S. publisher that specializes in researching U.S. markets.
That&rsquo;s not to say our analysts only cover stateside companies. Plenty of great foreign businesses trade in the United States, allowing investors to buy shares from just about any broker.
Members of our team also monitor foreign news sources and regularly visit other countries for a &ldquo;boots-on-the-ground&rdquo; perspective.
Still, our primary responsibility is to figure out how geopolitical events will affect anyone with American investments. So if we&rsquo;re not sharing enough Slavic news, it&rsquo;s only because our team hasn&rsquo;t come across any headlines or reports that fit their areas of interest.
Of course, it&rsquo;s also easy to miss things that happen overseas. If something is happening in your neck of the woods that you think U.S. stock investors should know about, send it along. I can&rsquo;t guarantee our team will act on it, but you never know &mdash; it could spark our next big investment ideas.
Remember, your feedback is vital to our success&hellip; so please email me at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
Questions? I&rsquo;ll get answers! Comments? Let me hear them! Problems? I&rsquo;ll try to solve them!
This is YOUR forum!

For customer service issues, please use our <a href="https://paradigmpressgroup.com/contact-us">contact page</a>.)
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>
It&rsquo;s going to be a busy week for our editors and analysts. As I said, they&rsquo;re working on their top market predictions for the next 12 months.
Of course, the biggest wild card will be the incoming Trump administration.
I&rsquo;ve told you how President Donald Trump could cause the <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trump-makes-volatility-great-again">major indexes to bounce up and down</a>. You also know that he will create <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/an-epic-time-for-stock-traders">incredible profit opportunities in specific stocks</a>.
That&rsquo;s why our team is looking beyond the headlines and knee-jerk reactions &mdash; following the behind-the-scenes money flows to figure out what will happen next.
Jim Rickards is analyzing how expected cutbacks in government spending and pressure on the Federal Reserve will impact everyday people.
James Altucher is hunting for little-known cryptocurrencies that will benefit from a crypto-friendly administration.
Our &ldquo;Maverick&rdquo; will be keeping an eye out for the 1-2-3 pattern&hellip; a technical indicator that appears just before a stock starts to skyrocket.
Zach Scheidt believes companies will be incentivized to spend their cash &mdash; either returning it to shareholders as income&hellip; or buying up small rivals at a hefty premium.
Ray Blanco is looking forward to changes at the Health and Human Services Department and the Food &amp; Drug Administration. Deregulation paired with artificial intelligence creates the perfect formula for a boom in tiny biotech stocks.
Chris Cimorelli wants to know which small-cap stocks are poised to go from being a nobody in 2024 to a household name by the end of 2025 &mdash; handsomely rewarding shareholders who get in early.
And I have a front-row seat as our team forms their prognostications&hellip;
So I&rsquo;ll tell you more about what I&rsquo;ve learned next week!

2025: A Sneak Peek

This year has seen a bull market in just about everything, from stocks to precious metals.
But our team says that won&rsquo;t be the case going into 2025.
Instead, there&rsquo;s going to be a bigger gap between winners and losers. So if you want to end next year with profits, you&rsquo;ll need to be much more selective with your investments&hellip;
The right choices could easily double your money, or more!
I&rsquo;ll share some details in a minute &mdash; including how to navigate this &ldquo;stock picker&rsquo;s market.&rdquo;
First, though, let&rsquo;s look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

The two usually have polar opposite viewpoints&hellip; and the answer will impact what happens to the economy over the next four years. So Sean dives into this tricky subject, explaining how the principles of both schools of thought will influence the Trump administration. Once again our team preferred other Rude articles &mdash; like Sean&rsquo;s takes on <a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/youve-been-had">Ukraine</a> and <a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/hwanging-for-18-years">Bill Hwang</a> &mdash; but readers liked this one the most.</li>

Now he&rsquo;s telling his Strategic Intelligence members what to expect from Trump&rsquo;s presidency. As he explains, the incoming administration will have to deal with a lot of messes&hellip; and cleaning them up could cause some short-term economic pain. But he also says the longer-term benefits should be worth it. This kind of honest assessment will be invaluable as Trump takes office. It was also our most-liked article last week, which is why I&rsquo;ve unlocked it for you.</li>

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First from the mailbag today, Matt P. responds to <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trump-makes-volatility-great-again">our article about volatile markets ahead</a>:
Thank you for your balanced and realistic reporting. Right on the money!!! We are going to see a very turbulent stock market in the next few months or more. All of the craziness going on is going to have a very negative effect on the stock market as a whole. The current stock market is ripe for a MAJOR correction. 
I appreciate the feedback, Matt! We&rsquo;ve been called <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/stop-publishing-politics">&ldquo;too political&rdquo; before</a>&hellip; and truth be told, there was some concern that last week&rsquo;s Concierge Letter would offend Donald Trump&rsquo;s supporters.
But our team aims to bring you their complete and honest analysis &mdash; even if it might ruffle a few feathers.
Also note that they&rsquo;re not completely bearish on stocks. While some companies are overvalued and set for a fall, our analysts know there&rsquo;s always a bull market in something.
So rather than converting your portfolio into cash and gold, they say a better strategy is to be more careful about which stocks you buy. (More on that in a minute!)
Next up, Omega Wealth Circle member Curtis G. gave us a five-star Google, saying:
Having Paradigm Press help guide me as I continue to improve my trading has been a tremendous help&hellip; [T]he quality and depth of research in their information, that is set into their recommendations, are a lot greater than I would ever find by myself. The quality of work from [the] Omega Wealth Circle team is simply the best.
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Curtis, thanks for being part of the Omega Wealth Circle&hellip; and sharing your experience with the world!
As a member of our highest level of service, you have full access to our widest range of research and recommendations. I&rsquo;m glad you&rsquo;re enjoying everything we offer.
And I&rsquo;ve made sure our team knows how much you appreciate everything they do!
Finally for today, Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network member Patricia P. asks:
What is the name of the company that Elon Musk uses for his chips for Starlink? The one that may be the back door for his IPO coming up?
Thanks for the question, Patricia. You&rsquo;re talking about one of James Altucher&rsquo;s members-only reports&hellip; so it would be unfair to reveal the name of the stock here.
But you can get all the answers you need <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/elons-super-ipo">on our website, here</a>.

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>
One of the easiest ways to make money this year was to throw some cash into an index fund.
Then all you had to do was sit back and watch it grow.
But that won&rsquo;t be the case much longer.
The incoming Trump administration could disrupt Wall Street in unexpected ways, <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trump-makes-volatility-great-again">as we discussed last week</a>.
Our Dan Amoss predicts that passive index investing won&rsquo;t do as well under Trump.
In fact, we could see several rounds of asset rotation, with investors rapidly dumping positions and buying new ones in response to Trump&rsquo;s policies and the inevitable pushback from the status quo.
&ldquo;The winners and losers right now,&rdquo; says our Alan Knuckman, &ldquo;will not be the same set of winners six, 12 or even 18 months from now.&rdquo;
And since you can no longer count on the market&rsquo;s rising tide to lift all boats, you&rsquo;ll need to be more selective about the stocks you add to the portfolio.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s very much a stock picker&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; Alan says.
For the first time in ages, a company&rsquo;s fundamentals will matter &mdash; meaning Wall Street will suddenly care about things like assets, debt and financial sustainability.
Technical indicators will become more important, too. Specialized charts can warn you if there&rsquo;s danger ahead&hellip; or uncover big opportunities everyone else has missed.
Luckily, the Paradigm Press team is more than up for the task.
Dan and the rest of Jim Rickards&rsquo; crew know exactly what to look for in a balance sheet.
And our trading team has spent decades refining their indicators and charts.
So you could end 2025 much better off than you are in 2024!
&ldquo;This is going to be an epic time,&rdquo; Alan says.

An “Epic Time” for Stock Traders

Donald Trump&rsquo;s election victory doesn&rsquo;t guarantee smooth sailing on Wall Street.
Just look at last week&rsquo;s market downturn for proof.
In fact, even though our team believes stocks will bounce back, they are telling members to be prepared for even bigger short-term dips ahead.
Even Jim Rickards&rsquo; analysts warn that Trump will make volatility great again&hellip; but you will have profit opportunities when it strikes.
I&rsquo;ll tell you how in a minute&hellip; after a look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

And Chris highlights one of the most surprising moves you may have missed. It&rsquo;s a stock that&rsquo;s been forgotten and left for dead, despite having more assets than some of Wall Street&rsquo;s biggest companies &mdash; combined. It also has 10 times more cash than the total value of its shares outstanding. And when Trump takes office, Chris sees the potential for 1,000% upside. Get the details while you still have time!</li>

First from the mailbag today, George S. writes in to say:
Thanks for your email and help with picking good stock picks.
George, I&rsquo;m not sure if you&rsquo;re referring to the weekly Concierge Letter&hellip; one of our other services&hellip; or Paradigm Press as a whole. Whichever it is, I appreciate the compliment!
I try to share specific recommendations here whenever I can &mdash; but I can&rsquo;t take credit for them. All I&rsquo;m doing is sharing the research and analysis I have the privilege of gleaning from our talented analysts.
Next, Dean P. saw the recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHOe22gD0PA">Top Trades Live</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHOe22gD0PA"> broadcast</a> and wants the team to know:
WOW! What a great show. The market insights and enthusiasm were fantastic.

And finally for today, Carol M. tells us:
I have some money to buy stocks but do not know how to buy. Is there anyone who can purchase stocks with your recommendations? 
Thanks for the question, Carol!

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>
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s little chance we&rsquo;ll get through Trump&rsquo;s first 100 days without a proper scare in the market,&rdquo; says Bob Byrne, a Senior Analyst for Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network.
The incoming Trump administration has already had an effect on certain industries.
Solar power stocks fell in the wake of his election victory. Vaccine manufacturers dropped when he chose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.
Just about any announcement Trump makes could cause a surprise dip in certain companies&hellip; industries&hellip; even the market as a whole.
&ldquo;President-elect Trump will &lsquo;Make Volatility Great Again!&rsquo;&rdquo; says Jim Rickards&rsquo; Strategic Intelligence Senior Analyst Dan Amoss.
Most of the selling will be an overreaction&hellip; and it won&rsquo;t take long for investors to get over their fear.
Our Alan Knuckman says his strategy during the previous Trump administration was to wait 48 hours before acting on any Trump-related news.
&ldquo;Watch the stock&rsquo;s initial reaction,&rdquo; he tells us, &ldquo;then the reaction to the reaction before you make any decision.&rdquo;
In other words, avoid panic selling when news breaks&hellip; then decide if it makes sense to add to your long-term positions at a bargain price.
To avoid short-term trouble spots and uncover big-money opportunities, our experts will turn to their charts.
&ldquo;We will use technical cues to tell us when a dip is coming,&rdquo; says Bob.
Certain techniques can also get you ahead of any breakouts.
In fact, our team was recently introduced to an unusual charting pattern that shows up right before a stock skyrockets.
It&rsquo;s literally as easy as 1-2-3.
Expect more details about it later this week.
And be ready for sudden bursts of volatility between now and then.

“Trump Makes Volatility Great Again”

Donald Trump is heading to the White House&hellip; and Wall Street couldn&rsquo;t be happier.
But it won&rsquo;t be long before the euphoria wears off &mdash; forcing investors to be more selective about where they put their money.
That&rsquo;s why our team is hunting for the biggest beneficiaries of Trump&rsquo;s incoming administration: beaten-down companies that have been shackled from reaching their full potential.
They&rsquo;re about to be unleashed&hellip; delivering windfall profits to anyone who bets on them early.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

First from the mailbag today, Patricia T. responds to one of our offers, telling me:
I could not afford the price&hellip; I'm sure the program is good, but that does not change the bottom line for me. I appreciate being kept in the loop and feel that Paradigm Press is concerned about my well-being.
Thank you for the kind words, Patricia! And never apologize for not buying one of our services.
It&rsquo;s a simple fact that high-quality investment recommendations require expensive research and analysis. So while we try to keep our rates as low as possible, we also need to keep the lights on.
Of course, not everyone will be able to benefit from our top-level insights. That&rsquo;s why we make sure our free broadcasts and e-letters are as informative as possible &mdash; sharing vital facts that can benefit you.
So even if you never take advantage of one of our offers, you should still walk away with knowledge you can use.
As I always say, Paradigm Press wouldn&rsquo;t exist without people like you&hellip; which is why we&rsquo;re planning to honor you with a <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/paradigms-new-shift#anchortag">reader appreciation month</a>! I hope to have more details for you soon.
Next, Greg Guenthenr&rsquo;s Trading Desk delivered a 300% gain on SoundHound AI (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/SOUN">SOUN</a>) in just over three weeks. Member Norm C. posted in The Trading Desk&rsquo;s live chat:
Great trade on SOUN. The most money I have made on options so far!
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Norm, congratulations&hellip; and get ready for even more gains ahead!
As I&rsquo;ll explain in a minute, Trump&rsquo;s victory could completely re-align the markets. And the volatility will create some amazing trading opportunities.
Greg has proven he can ride every up and down &mdash; so his big SOUN success could be the first of an epic win streak.
Finally for today, Rickards&rsquo; Strategic Intelligence member Jim S. wants to know:
&nbsp;What did I get for a year&rsquo;s subscription and $79? Nothing. 
I answered a <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/americas-next-move-live-and-in-person-with-james-altucher#anchortag">similar question in September</a>, Jim. But since you sent this directly to me, I figure it&rsquo;s worth repeating.
First, you have access to Jim and his team of world-class analysts: Dan Amoss, Byron King, Zach Scheidt and Andrew Zatlin. Every month, you get their top investment ideas and recommendations.
I count eight actionable stocks in the most recent issue alone.
Jim&rsquo;s Strategic Intelligence website also contains a full archive of past issues and alerts &mdash; not to mention special reports you won&rsquo;t find anywhere. It&rsquo;s a treasure trove of information you can put to use right away!
And let&rsquo;s not forget Jim&rsquo;s weekly analysis of five news stories the media has gotten wrong. It&rsquo;s the perfect cure to the misinformation that the mainstream press is spoon-feeding you.
Throw in the updates, briefings, as well as your ability to ask questions to Jim and his team &mdash; and I think your membership delivers quite a lot.
If you still disagree, please let me know why!

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>
Doing business in the United States means navigating arcane piles of expensive red tape.
But Trump and his allies in Congress are expected to roll back the most burdensome legislation, which will lower your bills while boosting stock values.
Take the automobile industry.
Under current regulations, all new cars must get at least 49 miles per gallon of gasoline.
That&rsquo;s the ruling from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, by the way &mdash; not any written law. But our Dan Amoss says it adds up to $15,000 to the cost of a car, whether you like that extra mileage or not.
So Trump could easily dump the mileage rule, freeing manufacturers to build lower-priced cars that people actually want.
Companies such as General Motors Co. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/GM">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/F">F</a>) would suddenly become more profitable&hellip; causing their stock prices to break out of their doldrums.
And that&rsquo;s just one example.
Mining companies could finally get approvals for stalled projects. New pipelines could get oil and gas where it needs to go. The drug approval process could get streamlined, cutting development costs and bringing life-saving treatments to patients faster than ever!
It&rsquo;s almost like the market is full of tigers that have been caged for years &mdash; just waiting for a chance to prove what they can do.
The Trump administration is about to set them free.
And our team will help you identify them before the politicians turn the key.
Finally for today, happy Veterans Day. We salute all who&rsquo;ve served!

Trump’s “Uncaged Tigers”

One of my favorite aspects of trading is finding patterns in the market that repeat like clockwork.
Today, I want to tell you about one of the rarest (and most profitable) patterns I&rsquo;ve ever seen.
It&rsquo;s an incredible money-making opportunity that we only see emerge once in a decade &mdash; if that.
But based on what I&rsquo;ve seen during my research, it&rsquo;s a pattern that&rsquo;s set to happen again very soon.
It&rsquo;s what I call the &ldquo;echo trade.&rdquo; Now, what exactly does that mean?
<h2>Introducing the Echo Trade</h2>
An echo trade is when you find a stock that was much higher several years ago and has now begun to recover to those old highs.
Often, those highs are two&hellip; three&hellip; or even five times higher than where the stock is trading right now.
It&rsquo;s a very rare opportunity that typically only happens in the aftermath of a once-in-a-decade stock market crash.
Over my 30-year career, I have only seen echo trades emerge twice. The first time was back in the early 2000s after the bursting of the internet bubble.
There were plenty of stocks that had fallen 90% or more during that crash, many of them even going bankrupt.
The ones that didn&rsquo;t go bankrupt, however, were positioned for huge returns. Want a great example?
Here&rsquo;s the chart of e-commerce giant Amazon.com (AMZN) from 1997 to the end of 2002&hellip;
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/vha3zb1lo47k/2eWBjetBAhnlJmOOEefgB7/1a8a09d54bb99c1627400c9bbfa0e631/ttr-issue-11-6-24-img-4.png" alt="" width="540px" />
Amazon shares skyrocketed from less than a split-adjusted $0.22 a share to $5 a share in 1999. That&rsquo;s a 20-fold return in just two years!
Then from its peak in December 1999, the stock collapsed and fell to a low of $0.31 by September 2001 &mdash; almost a complete round trip.
Unlike many of its internet competitors, though, Amazon did not go bankrupt.
The company survived, and the stock found firm footing. Over the next couple of years, it began to move up gradually.
The stock originally soared because Amazon was building a great company with a massive market opportunity.
Perhaps it shouldn&rsquo;t have gone up as quickly as it did, but it went up because it had potential. Once the company survived, it began to realize that potential.
Here&rsquo;s how the stock did over the next decade&hellip;
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/vha3zb1lo47k/TY6ULUsh4i4cX91BdEtiq/9c5ec8c7200c186556638aaaa2e53c07/ttr-issue-11-6-24-img-5.png" alt="" width="540px" />
The stock was up more than 40-fold by the end of 2012!
I bet you probably know what happened after that. But here&rsquo;s the full chart from 1997 to today just in case&hellip;
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/vha3zb1lo47k/15TeX3Hf9V9SMOw0WWQ9FA/ff4fdea0677b206a3cab618359b5879d/ttr-issue-11-6-24-img-6.png" alt="" width="540px" />
From that low of $0.31 in 2002, the stock is up an incredible 640 times!
This is a classic example of an echo trade, a company with huge potential that sees its stocks soar.
Often the stock goes much higher than it should in the near term on investor excitement&hellip;
Then it crashes &mdash; not because it&rsquo;s a bad company, but rather because it was way ahead of itself.
Eventually, the company survives and continues to execute on its business plan and potential. The stock also stabilizes and moves higher.
It remains, however, well below its previous heights. At the end of 2002, Amazon stock was trading at roughly $1 per share.
That&rsquo;s up three-fold from the bottom, but still 80% below the high from a few years earlier.
As the company realizes even more of that potential and executes its huge opportunity, it begins to go even higher.
That&rsquo;s when the trade becomes an &ldquo;echo boom.&rdquo;
While Amazon may be the biggest of the stocks to emerge from the internet bubble collapse, dozens of other echo trades also became &ldquo;echo booms&rdquo; after this era.
And these opportunities are some of the biggest stock winners of all time.
Echo trades may be rare, but they will continue to happen again and again as long as human emotion continues to drive the market.
As I mentioned earlier, I&rsquo;ve only seen this opportunity play out twice in my trading career.
But now I&rsquo;m seeing a new wave of echo trades emerging today.

The Echo Trade: An Ultra-Rare (and Profitable) Stock Pattern

The election is tomorrow&hellip;
But you still have time to prepare your portfolio for whatever political chaos lies ahead.
In fact, our team has put together a special presentation to guide you through the last-minute steps you can take to protect or even grow your wealth.
It&rsquo;s an absolutely free look at our final presidential predictions and recommendations&hellip; with zero obligation to you.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more about it after we look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>

But not The New York Times. It devoted a full-page headline to &ldquo;warn&rdquo; readers about Donald Trump&rsquo;s campaign promises. As Sean explains, however, those promises are actually reasons to vote for Trump. He also highlights other Trump triumphs and more of Kamala Harris&rsquo; campaign shortcomings. See why this was our most-liked e-letter last week.</li>

So Emily dives into this critical portion of the electorate, explaining who they are and what it will take to get them to pick a side. Member William T. praised Emily&rsquo;s take, adding &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be glad when all the political #*&amp;@ is behind us, but I&rsquo;m following it as it certainly drives the financial world.&rdquo; Emily also dives into the latest economic numbers&hellip; Google&rsquo;s latest breakthrough&hellip; and more!</li>

Last week, it came very close before falling back. As James recently told his Investment Network, Bitcoin&rsquo;s next short-term move largely depends on the election&hellip; but the long-term is set in stone. His analysis was our most-liked story for the week. And since the facts he lays out could prove very profitable, I decided to unlock his analysis for you.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
This week we were bombarded by praise for our Zach Scheidt.
The former hedge fund manager helps oversee several of our services &mdash; giving members access to the same secrets and strategies that kept his rich clients happy.
And he&rsquo;s been on a real hot streak lately.
As Senior Analyst for Altucher&rsquo;s True Alpha, Zach has led readers to gains of 50%... 98%&hellip; and 293% in October alone.
Member Walt O. tells us in a survey:
Altucher's True Alpha has helped me make intelligent trades for great profits.
If you&rsquo;re reading this, Walt, thanks for the kind words. And I expect there are a lot more winners in your future!
Also check out The Income Alliance, where Zach invests in everything he recommends &mdash; meaning he loses and wins alongside his members. In the past few months, they have had chances to reap gains of 50%... 81%... 84%... 121%... 159%... and more.
In a survey, Steve S. calls The Income Alliance:
One of the best financial publications I have ever subscribed to over the past ten years. Zach is outstanding. I find his recommendations are very accurate and profitable. I highly recommend Income Alliance to anyone wanting to make annual income and grow their portfolio.
Wow, Steve, that&rsquo;s quite an endorsement! With the markets about to get wild and inflation set to return with a vengeance, everyone will need as much cash as they can grab.
So it&rsquo;s great to hear that Zach is helping you achieve financial peace of mind!
Finally, speaking of the volatility we see ahead, Donna F. tells us:
Jim Rickards says to buy gold. What he doesn&rsquo;t say is, what kind. Physical, royalties, mining, market bars? More information, please!
Good question, Donna. All Rickards&rsquo; Strategic Intelligence members have access to a free report called &ldquo;The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio.&rdquo;
In it, Jim says, &ldquo;I recommend a 10% allocation of investable assets to physical gold and other precious metals for your permanent portfolio.&rdquo;
(If you&rsquo;re not sure why bars and coins are best, Jim has put together a quick report with the help of our friends at Hard Assets Alliance. <a href="https://hardassetsalliance.com/jim-rickards/?aff=DAP&amp;utm_source=470DAP&amp;utm_medium=ed-mention&amp;utm_term=concppg11424&amp;utm_content=concppg11424&amp;utm_campaign=concppg11424">Click here to read it</a>. And remember we may be compensated if you own an account with them.)
He also supports devoting a portion of your stock portfolio to major stock miners. That includes &ldquo;streaming companies,&rdquo; which fund other miners in exchange for a percentage of the company&rsquo;s production.
And Jim says that you can use a portion of your risk capital to speculate on &ldquo;junior miners&rdquo; &mdash; high-risk companies that could lead to giant gains if they hit paydirt.
Jim&rsquo;s specific allocations and recommendations are reserved for his members, however, so I can&rsquo;t say much more. But I hope this at least puts you on the right path!
That wraps up this week&rsquo;s Reader Forum.
Remember, your feedback is vital to our success&hellip; so please email me at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.

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>
We know tomorrow won&rsquo;t be the end of the election. The <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/countdown-to-chaos">drama could carry on right until Inauguration Day</a>.
But we don&rsquo;t know how the chaos will affect Wall Street.
That&rsquo;s we&rsquo;ve brought together some of our best minds to share their political outlook and favorite investment plays for what they see ahead.
You&rsquo;ll hear:
<ul>
<li>Our newest analyst, Enrique Abeyta&rsquo;s contrarian view of the election&hellip; and his surprising pick for which asset will soar the most&hellip;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Byron King&rsquo;s report from a mysterious location&hellip; discussing a group of companies set to take off no matter who wins the election&hellip;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Zach Scheidt&rsquo;s deep dive into income plays that could do well under a Trump presidency&hellip; as well as how to hedge yourself if Harris wins the White House&hellip;</li>

<li>Ray Blanco&rsquo;s thoughts on who will win&hellip; and the beaten-down tech sector that will benefit the most...</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>
With so much riding on the election, it would be unfair to hide a presentation this critical and informative behind a paywall.
That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve posted it for FREE on our YouTube channel.
Let me be clear&hellip;
You don&rsquo;t need your wallet for this one. There&rsquo;s nothing to sign up for. We&rsquo;re not teasing any services or recommendations.

Election Tuesday is just eight days away.
But don&rsquo;t expect to know who won Wednesday morning!
Our team says we&rsquo;re in for weeks of chaos and uncertainty&hellip; which will bleed into Wall Street.
So we&rsquo;re putting together an entire list of strategies for protecting your wealth &mdash; even scoring big gains &mdash; from the ups and downs we see ahead.
I&rsquo;ll give you a sneak preview after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum&hellip;

James has spent months analyzing the financial data (not the polls)... and he&rsquo;s uncovered where money will be flowing next. While James will leave you wanting more, this was our most-liked e-letter last week &mdash; which is why I urge you to give it a read.</li>

And while Sean admits it was just a political stunt, he also says the negative comments expose Trump&rsquo;s foes for who they really are. He explains why a job at McDonald&rsquo;s is nothing to be ashamed of&hellip; and why Trump&rsquo;s willingness to prove that strengthens his presidential bid.

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
Last week <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/paradigms-new-shift">I discussed our plans to respond to readers&rsquo; requests</a>. Not surprisingly, a lot of members had more thoughts to share.
Craig T. adds to the conversation about the volume of email he receives. He also tells us:
I've been subscribed for about three months and I'm really impressed with the information that I don't get anywhere else&hellip;. I really love the stock tips and have done well on many of them. Sometimes I miss them because it's not clear which of the many emails have stock tips. Please make it clearer which emails have those. 
Thanks for writing in, Craig! I&rsquo;m very glad to hear that our stock recommendations are paying off for you.
As I explained in my previous Concierge Letter, Publisher Matt Insley is taking steps to reduce the number of messages that hit your inbox.
In the meantime, there are several ways to know when you receive an actionable alert from us.&nbsp;
First, many of our services can send a text message straight to your phone whenever there&rsquo;s a new action to take. Look for a sign-up link at the bottom of each service&rsquo;s email.&nbsp;
You can also check the subject line of our emails. Our team makes a point of using words like &ldquo;new buy alert&rdquo;... &ldquo;flash sell&rdquo;... or something similar in the subject line of any actionable alert.
Finally, check out the <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/message-center">Message Center</a> on our website. You can quickly scan the titles of everything we&rsquo;ve sent&hellip; or filter to focus just on the alerts.
I hope that helps!
Next, Edward K. shares a bit about his life, then says:
You must keep your most useful information archived. How do I access and search for it? For the record I am mesmerized by and grateful for access to the brilliance and accumulating wisdom of Mr. James Altucher.
James and his team will appreciate your kind words, Edward. You can be sure that I passed them along.
And it&rsquo;s easy to find and save your favorite articles on our website. Simply go to the homepage of whatever service you&rsquo;re interested in. There you&rsquo;ll find a complete archive of issues, alerts, reports and more.
If you&rsquo;re looking for something specific, use our <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/search">search page</a>. (You can also gain access to it by clicking on the little magnifying glass at the top right of our web page.) Look for specific subjects, stock tickers or anything else. You can filter the results by service name or type of publication.

With these tools, everything you need is right at your fingertips!
Finally for today, JoAnn C. asks:
Why after all of the &ldquo;we do not like the long promotional presentations, with touting how great everyones&rsquo; experiences are, then after an hour or more you get to the sales pitch," you say, &ldquo;Oh, we will publish the transcripts &lsquo;NEXT WEEK.&rsquo;&rdquo; How about publishing the transcript IMMEDIATELY?
Apologies, JoAnn, but you misunderstood what I meant.
Obviously providing transcripts with all of our videos wasn&rsquo;t going to happen automatically. Even if we used AI technology, someone would still need to read through it to make sure it was accurate.
So we had to set up a system and put quality controls in place. We just started last week&hellip; and now our plan will go into effect this week.
In other words, now that our system is in place, you will get a transcript for our pre-taped events immediately.
Keep in mind, though, we will still have live events. And since those are unscripted, it&rsquo;s impossible to have a transcript ahead of time.
But now that we can quickly produce transcripts, we&rsquo;ll be able to get the written version into your hands faster than ever before!
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>
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not worried about the election,&rdquo; says our Byron King. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m worried about the six weeks after the election.&rdquo;
Polls continue to show Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a dead heat. Both parties are already filing lawsuits to protest how votes are being cast and counted.
You can bet there will be even more court action after Election Day.
We might not even know who controls Congress and the White House until everyone is sworn in.
Wall Street has mostly ignored the political race. But investors hate uncertainty.
So any drawn-out battles to figure out our leaders will hit the major indexes &mdash; not to mention precious metals&hellip; energy prices&hellip; cryptocurrencies&hellip; and more.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to have a lot of churn&hellip; probably until Jan. 20,&rdquo; Byron adds.
That&rsquo;s why our team is working hard to prepare you for what&rsquo;s to come. They&rsquo;re identifying ways to turn the chaos to your advantage&hellip; giving you a chance for huge gains along the way.
So be on the lookout for special election presentations, predictions and alerts.

Countdown to Chaos?

We&rsquo;ve heard you&hellip; and changes are coming!
I&rsquo;ll share some of the most eye-opening responses from last week&rsquo;s survey in a minute.
More importantly, I&rsquo;ll tell you about three NEW initiatives that Publisher Matt Insley is launching based on your comments.
You&rsquo;ll get all the details after our usual look at our Top Stories.

As Dave explains, even Musk&rsquo;s &ldquo;Cybercab&rdquo; is a bigger deal than what&rsquo;s been reported. Dave also spotlights how the government of California is stifling innovation because of Musk&rsquo;s opinions&hellip; discusses how U.S. soldiers could be used as human shields in the Middle East&hellip; and reveals one of the weirdest ways people are using AI.</li>

Sean details some of the recent unforced errors, from Barack Obama&rsquo;s misguided appeal to black male voters to Kamala Harris&rsquo; disastrous interview on Fox News. Member Dan C. calls Sean&rsquo;s take &ldquo;spot on&rdquo; &mdash; one of many who made it our most-liked e-letter last week.</li>

Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups 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">The Reader Forum:</h2>
Last week, Matt asked &ldquo;<a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/is-paradigm-failing-you">Is Paradigm Failing You?</a>&rdquo;... and invited you to let us know in a special survey.
We received more responses than we&rsquo;ve ever had to a Concierge survey &mdash; in fact, more than every previous one combined!
But that didn&rsquo;t stop Matt from reading every comment, just like he promised. He even shared some of the sharpest criticism with the entire team:
<ul>
<li>"Quit running long, long, long and very painful and barely tolerable promos of yourself before actually saying anything.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"You're flooding my inbox with content. I'm not a not able to follow through all that stuff.&rdquo; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"No more clickbait emails with links to hour-long videos."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"I don't have time to listen to your videos so I often start listening and then click out. PLEASE provide a way to read a TRANSCRIPT of the presentation. I would really appreciate that!"</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"Why, oh why, do your videos drone on for 60-90 minutes with NO way for me to fast forward OR better yet, read a transcript?&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
So it went &mdash; pages and pages of people saying essentially the same thing.
Of course, there were a few compliments here and there. &ldquo;I like most everything you publish,&rdquo; says one. &ldquo;Everything&rsquo;s great. Keep doing what you&rsquo;re doing,&rdquo; encourages another.
And while it would have been easy to focus just on the positives, Matt is determined to do something about the negatives.
&ldquo;Look, we love being able to publish big ideas to our readers, and to do that we&rsquo;ve got to keep the lights on &mdash; we&rsquo;re running a business,&rdquo; he said in a staff memo. &ldquo;BUT we will treat our bosses better and implement some new policies on longer videos.&rdquo;
That means reducing the number of emails we send out&hellip; giving a transcript option with EVERY recorded presentation we make (which will go into effect in the next week)&hellip; and boosting the benefits of hearing what we have to say.
He also wants to make sure you receive the content you pay for as quickly and easily as possible.
So our tech team is putting the final touches on an app for smartphones, which will tell you about any new recommendations our analysts send.
It will be much more convenient than checking your email or logging into our website. And you&rsquo;ll never miss a lucrative trade alert!
But his final initiative is the one I&rsquo;m most excited about&hellip; and you should be, too.
We&rsquo;re planning a reader appreciation month!
Expect a full four weeks of bonuses &mdash; from special reports to short videos that showcase the best of everything Paradigm Press has to offer.
The planning is just getting started, so I don&rsquo;t have many details for you yet. But I can promise it will be a complete look at what we do at Paradigm &mdash; and you&rsquo;ll see it all!
You can even let me know what you&rsquo;d like to see during our reader appreciation month!
Just drop me a line at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
Then expect to hear more about our celebration that&rsquo;s all about YOU!
