Buckle up for the Boom!

If you think last week’s market action was crazy, you might want to buckle up.

Our entire team is warning about massive shifts ahead… creating a whole new crop of winners and losers.

I’ll share details about what they’re saying — as well as what you can do to prepare — in a minute.

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

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “Red China’s Silicon Kill Switch” (Rude Awakening, Sean Ring): The United States is trying to end its dependence on Chinese supply chains as quickly as possible. But as Sean points out, our country may be hopelessly behind. The fact is, China could cause major chaos around the world without firing a single shot. He runs you through the worst-case scenarios, painting a scary potential future. While Sean’s take on Google’s recent court win got more likes, I think this threat from China could have a bigger impact on you and your wealth.

• “The Next Five Days Could CRUSH Stocks” (Truth & Trends, Enrique Abeyta): Last Thursday, Enrique predicted that a pair of upcoming events were set to knock the markets lower. On Friday, his first prediction came true. We’ll learn about the second tomorrow. Don’t get caught by surprise. Learn exactly what Enrique sees ahead… and discover practical steps you can take to protect yourself.

• “Market Leaders Give Way For Rotation Trades” (Lifetime Income Report, Zach Scheidt): Some of Wall Street’s biggest stocks are due for a pullback. But that doesn’t mean the bull market is over. In fact, Zach recently told his Lifetime Income Report members that he expects money to start flowing into industries that most investors have left for dead. Read his analysis for yourself… and discover a specific name set to benefit from what he sees ahead. It could make a critical difference to your portfolio in the weeks ahead, which is why I’ve unlocked it for you!

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

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

The Reader Forum:

First in the Forum today, Jon P. tells Zach Scheidt:

I can't tell you how happy I am to be an Altucher’s True Alpha subscriber! It's been life changing!

Thanks for the letter, Jon! Zach was so grateful for it that he asked me to share it here.

I assume this means you cashed in on the big wins James Altucher and Zach delivered over the summer. Members had chances to see 356% gains from Astera Labs Inc. (ALAB)... 918% gains from MP Materials Inc. (MP)... 1,077% from Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT)... and many more. 

Hopefully you’re just as excited for the next Altucher’s True Alpha play — which could be the most lucrative one of all!

Next up, Art L. writes Sean Ring to say:

I have learned so much from Jim Rickards and James Altucher, and I can’t wait to see what is in store for the future. The insights I have gained from the entire group have been incredible.

A compliment this good had to be shared, Art!

Our team takes great pride in not just sharing their analysis — but also teaching you how to take maximum advantage of it. It’s great to hear we’ve been living up to that ideal.

And finally for today, Alan T. tells us:

I wanted to suggest someone there at Paradigm to do an article on how to safeguard our investments or options. I know there is a stop-loss on stocks and on options. However, I have found little to nothing here to help us with limiting the losses on the options and investments that are suggested in your services.

Thanks for writing in, Alan! And we do have a money management report planned for our Wealth Desk. It will offer some basic allocation strategies and ways to mitigate risks.

Also, many of our services do suggest stop-loss strategies, as discussed in our Stock Investing 101 guide. A stop-loss order simply tells your broker to automatically close a position if its price falls to a certain level or percentage.

But not all of our analysts think stop-loss orders are a good idea. For one thing, if the market overreacts to news and triggers the stop-loss, you could miss out on the potential rebound.

In fact, deep-pocketed traders can intentionally try to manipulate prices lower, knowing they’ll set off automatic sell orders. The sudden surge in selling causes the price to fall even further, giving the manipulator a chance to buy in at a bargain price.

It’s known as “stop hunting”... and it’s much easier to do with smaller, thinly traded instruments like small caps and options. So our team has to be extra careful when recommending these instruments.

I hope that helps!

That wraps up this week’s Reader Forum.

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

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

Wall Street is expecting a lot of big numbers this week, from inflation stats to employment revisions.

But investors may not react like you expect them to.

You’d think lower job numbers would cause a massive sell-off. And they could, at first — only for stocks to quickly rebound.

And the inflation rate could send individual stocks flying in all different directions.

That’s because the Federal Reserve is meeting next week to decide what to do with interest rates.

Wall Street expects a cut… and, at last check, it’s a pretty sure bet.

But like always, the devil is in the details! So investors will react to any headlines that seem to increase or decrease the odds of the Fed doing what everyone expects. “Bad news is good news,” as they say.

On the bright side, there’s a lot of money to be made in a market like this.

Gold and silver are screaming higher. Crypto is looking ripe for another rally. And a stock pickers’ market is setting up nicely (meaning you might be better off picking your stocks than sitting in an index fund).

So buckle up and stay tuned this week and next! Our team will help you ride the waves to the biggest gains.

Stay tuned!
