How to Choose the Best Brokerage Account for You

Donald Trump is in the White House&hellip; and he&rsquo;s already made good on many of his campaign promises.
But the economy still faces many problems that even Trump&rsquo;s brain trust can&rsquo;t solve.
In fact, one of our newest team members foresees a surprise shock in the next eight weeks that could send Wall Street into a tailspin&hellip; with ripple effects that impact every facet of your life!&nbsp;
I&rsquo;ll give you a sneak peek at his prophecy after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

And he&rsquo;ll finally put his plans in motion in 2025. Chris explains exactly what Musk has in mind&hellip; including how it will boost cryptocurrencies while radically altering the financial system. Not many people have connected these dots, which is probably why it was our most liked e-letter last week!</li>

See what reshoring manufacturing and sending illegal immigrants home means for your wallet, as well whether it&rsquo;s time to invest in silver. Jim&rsquo;s answers to these top-of-mind concerns made it one of his most-liked updates. So I unlocked it to help ease your mind as well.</li>

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the forum today, Daniel D. left us a five-star Google review saying:
Excellent trade for Paradigm Press with puts for Winnebago.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Daniel. And I&rsquo;m glad you benefited from this Crisis Trader With Jim Rickards recommendation!
Senior Analyst Dan Amoss recommended put options on Winnebago Industries Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/WGO">WGO</a>) in October. On Jan. 16, he told members to close the position for a 114% gain!
Remember, Crisis Trader With Jim Rickards helps you cash in on overvalued companies set for big falls. And with so many stocks trading at ridiculous levels, there should be plenty of more profit opportunities ahead!
Next, Elaine C. sends a note to the James Altucher and his team saying:
Thank you James, Ray Blanco and all of Paradigm Press Group. I appreciate all of you for your understanding and support. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to investing. Thanks for teaching me more about investing.
I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, Elaine, because I want to thank you for your kind words!
You also make a great point about Paradigm Press. Yes, our team&rsquo;s research and analysis often lead to lucrative recommendations. But we also share our strategies &mdash; giving you the tools to make wise investment decisions on your own.
It helps you take control of your money&hellip; putting you on a path towards full financial independence!
Finally for today, last week&rsquo;s Concierge Letter included a letter from Rich A. He&rsquo;s a very happy member of Microcap Millionaire, reporting his <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/los-angeles-aftermath-and-you#anchortagrf">&ldquo;initial investment of $12,000 is now $23,803.&rdquo;</a>
We&rsquo;ve now heard from Tim F., who says:
Congrats, Rich. But I have not received any sell alerts on any of these stocks. I receive and read every one I get. And yet a company like SoundHound (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/SOUN">SOUN</a>) , which is in the portfolio, is down over 1200% and there has been no sell alert issued. Am I missing something or are we on our own? 
Sorry to hear your experience hasn&rsquo;t been as positive, Tim. But I&rsquo;m assuming your 1200% loss on SoundHound is a typo, because the lowest stock shares can go is 100%.
Even then, SOUN isn&rsquo;t in the Microcap Millionaire portfolio.
On Dec. 26, the team did recommend buying shares of a company they call &ldquo;SoundHound on wheels.&rdquo; Its shares got caught up in Wall Street&rsquo;s recent selloff &mdash; but are still up 50% from the initial buy alert.
And it is true that Microcap Millionaire hasn&rsquo;t issued a single sell alert yet. That doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;re on your own, however.
James Altucher, Zach Scheidt and Chris Cimorelli are shooting for maximum gains. So they won&rsquo;t recommend getting out of a position unless there&rsquo;s a fundamental change at the company&hellip; or the stock has reached its peak profits.
Every week they email a fresh update so you know where things stand. You can also expect a sell alert when it&rsquo;s time, too.
Yes, there are a few losing stocks in the model portfolio. But they each have strong turnaround potential. Meanwhile, the team&rsquo;s average gain is 21% &mdash; including winners and losers.
So if you&rsquo;ve followed all of their research, your open positions should still be ahead by double digits.
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>
Ever since the election, our team has warned that <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trump-makes-volatility-great-again">Donald Trump may not have a smooth second term</a>.
Many economic forces are reaching their breaking point&hellip; and Executive Orders may not be enough to correct them in time.
Consider that interest payments on the U.S. national debt now exceed U.S. military spending.
In other words, the federal government is spending more to service its loans than it is on defense &mdash; and isn&rsquo;t paying down any of its principal!
That&rsquo;s just one factor leading our newest team member to make a dire prophecy about what will happen next&hellip;
He&rsquo;s laid out an entire list of things that will weigh on Wall Street over the next eight weeks, threatening to unleash a sudden dip.
And he&rsquo;s narrowed down the exact date that the stock market could start to sink.
Keep in mind, this isn&rsquo;t coming from someone just out of business school.
In fact, our newest team member has a long history of making correct calls &mdash; going all the way back to the gold, stock and bond breakout of 1982!
So we&rsquo;re taking his newest prophecy very seriously&hellip; as well as his strategies for riding the incoming chaos for big gains.
Now he&rsquo;s getting ready to introduce his latest research and analysis to the world.
Expect an invitation to get to know him soon!

Concierge Letter

Trump Can’t Fix THIS…

The Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage, causing deaths and untold destruction.
But the only thing politicians and the media care about is finding someone to blame.
Few people are thinking about what will happen after the fires are extinguished &mdash; and how it will affect California&hellip; the U.S. economy&hellip; and your wallet.
LA&rsquo;s recovery will have ripple effects that span coast to coast. So our team is developing strategies to help you absorb the added costs.
I&rsquo;ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

The legendary statesman and libertarian looks at how the U.S. government uses crises to limit freedom and gain more power.

<h2 class="subhead nbp"><a id="anchortagrf"></a>The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the Reader Forum today, Bryant H. left us a five-star Google review, saying:
The Maverick is the "real deal." He supports his recommendations with data and his rigorous process of scrutinizing stocks that meet his requirements. [He] gives me a ton of confidence as an investor. He is the best thing that has happened to Paradigm Press.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Bryant &mdash; not to mention your kind words for our resident &ldquo;maverick,&rdquo; Enrique Abeyta.
We&rsquo;re certainly lucky to have Enrique on our team. He&rsquo;s literally managed billion-dollar hedge funds&hellip; helping them make money even during some of the worst bear markets in recent history.
Now he&rsquo;s offering his experience and knowledge to everyday investors like you. So you should continue to have confidence in Enrique&rsquo;s research &mdash; no matter what Wall Street throws your way!
Next, Rich A. wants James Altucher and his team to know:
I took a flyer and joined the Microcap Millionaire team back in July&hellip;. At this point, my initial investment of $12,000 is now $23,803. Nothing even comes close to this kind of a return in 6 months. Plus, the information you share during your Zoom calls is educational and helps my confidence&hellip;. Most of all, I am having FUN.
Wow, Rich &mdash; congratulations on racking up those big gains so quickly.
Of course, it&rsquo;s not a surprise. Microcap stocks are rapidly becoming some of Wall Street&rsquo;s hottest investments&hellip; just like the team knew they would.
So I expect your portfolio&rsquo;s value to keep increasing &mdash; while you learn more tips, tricks and strategies from the Microcap Millionaire team!
Finally from the mailbag today, Jacquie C. asks:
What's the difference between James Altuchers&rsquo; subscriptions and Jim Rickards&rsquo; subscriptions?
Great question, Jacquie.
As you probably know, Paradigm Press publishes a wide range of financial research, covering a full spectrum of investment ideas and strategies.
And while both James and Jim offer ways to protect and grow your wealth, they have different worldviews that guide their analysis.
James has built an entire career around helping people make money &mdash; whether by starting your own business or investing your way to a fortune.
His Paradigm Press services focus on Wall Street&rsquo;s hottest opportunities&hellip; stock and strategies that can deliver huge results in little time. Things like artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, quantum computers and more.
Jim, on the other hand, takes a more old-school approach to building wealth. He focuses on the big picture &mdash; following global money flows and figuring out where that cash will go next.
While he believes high-tech investments can have a place in your portfolio, he prefers tangible assets that have a definitive value. So precious metals, mining stocks, energy companies and similar plays.
He also targets companies that are overvalued or undervalued &mdash; offering you chances to nab big, fast profits when the rest of Wall Street figures out what Jim and his team already know.
But you really can&rsquo;t go wrong with either James or Jim. It all depends on your personal outlook and goals.
You could also follow both of them to build a diversified portfolio!
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 Los Angeles wildfires have killed at least 25 people&hellip;
And early estimates say they&rsquo;ve caused as much $150 billion in damages.
So far, the media has focused on the rich celebrities who&rsquo;ve lost multimillion-dollar homes and politicians pointing fingers at one another.
But there&rsquo;s been little talk about the everyday people who have lost everything&hellip; or what it will cost to get them back on their feet.
We have quite a few members who live in the LA area. So I hope you and your loved ones are safe.
Even if you&rsquo;re nowhere near the destruction, though, you should be aware that the fires will end up costing you, too.
Our team expects the recovery efforts to increase taxes&hellip; government debt&hellip; and insurance premiums.
You&rsquo;ll also pay more for houses and home improvement as building materials and labor shift to the West coast.
The fires could also completely upend politics in the state, which will have national consequences.
As Enrique puts it, &ldquo;Everyone is for liberalism until their house burns down.&rdquo;
And look for a nationwide conversation about disaster preparation and mitigation&hellip; which will lead to even more funds moving around.
Our team is tracking all of it&hellip; so stay tuned to their latest thoughts!
Also, next Monday, the markets and our offices will be closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
So expect your next Paradigm Concierge Letter on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Los Angeles Aftermath & You

Happy New Year!
Our team is starting 2025 on a strong note, despite Wall Street&rsquo;s ups and downs.
I&rsquo;ll tell you what they&rsquo;ve been right about so far&hellip; as well as what they see ahead.
I also have a promise to keep&hellip;

<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First in the Forum today, Coralie H. tells Dave Gonigam:
It is obvious to me that the whole [Paradigm] crew is impressively dedicated, knowledgeable and SMART! After a career as an executive in a Fortune 100 company, I highly value SMART and knowledgeable. 
I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, Coralie &mdash; because when the 5 Bullets team shared your email with me, I wanted to personally thank you for your kind words.
We&rsquo;ve put together a team of world-class analysts and commentators. Together, they&rsquo;ve made some stunning predictions that have come true&hellip; and given members multiple chances to lock in big profits.
Hearing how much you value our hard work means a lot to everyone at Paradigm!
Next, Don S. wants Jim Rickards to know:
I am enlightened when each Strategic Intelligence report comes out. Thank you for your depth of insight and historical knowledge that bodes well for guidance into my future plans. 
On behalf of Jim and his team, Don, you&rsquo;re welcome &mdash; and thanks for being such a loyal member.
Jim seems to know more about a given topic than anyone else on the planet. And in the rare cases where he needs more information, he has an extensive list of global contacts to call upon.
Of course, he&rsquo;s also surrounded himself with a crew of skilled and experienced analysts. Dan Amoss&hellip; Zach Scheidt&hellip; Byron King&hellip; and more &mdash; all sharing their collective knowledge with you.
With them in your corner, you&rsquo;re sure to have a great 2025 &mdash; and beyond!
Finally for today, Robert S. asks,
What are Chris' "Top 3"? 
Thanks for the question, Robert, and I&rsquo;d love to help you out. But you haven&rsquo;t given me enough information!
We have two analysts named Chris. There&rsquo;s Chris Campbell, who helps oversee James Altucher&rsquo;s Early-Stage Crypto Investor and Paradigm Mastermind Group. We also have Chris Cimorelli, an analyst for Microcap Millionaire.
They both contribute to Altucher Confidential and Altucher&rsquo;s Investment Network. I see that you have a lifetime membership to the Investment Network&hellip; so I can&rsquo;t be sure which Chris you&rsquo;re asking about.
I also don&rsquo;t know what &ldquo;Top 3&rdquo; you&rsquo;re looking for. Since you sent this email to the Concierge inbox, I would assume you want the &ldquo;Top 3&rdquo; stories from Chris. But you could also mean stock picks&hellip; microcaps&hellip; cryptocurrencies&hellip; or something else entirely.
As I always say, I&rsquo;m standing by to answer all of your questions. In fact, my entire team is committed to helping you get the absolute most out of your membership.
We can&rsquo;t do that with incomplete information, however. So anytime you want to know something, be as specific as possible.
It&rsquo;s the best way to ensure we deliver the service you deserve!

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>
Last July, I asked you and our team to predict what would be the <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/your-halftime-predictions">biggest winners in the last half of 2024</a>.
And as I promised, I&rsquo;ve kept track of them ever since.
Stocks like Nvidia Corp. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/NVDA">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/aapl">AAPL</a>) and Tesla (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/TSLA">TSLA</a>) were popular choices &mdash; with NVDA winning the year by a wide margin.
We also had many precious metal predictions&hellip; though they all missed the mark.
But it&rsquo;s a new year&hellip; with plenty of big opportunities ahead of us.
And our team&rsquo;s forecasts have already delivered triple-digit gains.
On Dec. 26, the Microcap Millionaire team recommended buying shares of an artificial intelligence company that occupies a very specific niche.&nbsp;
As I type, shares are up 129% in 11 days &mdash; and looking to run higher!
Jim Rickards, meanwhile, predicted it would be a very big year for Ford Motor Co. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/F">F</a>). Right on cue, the company announced increased sales in 2024 &mdash; double the growth most automobile manufacturers are seeing.
And our team is just getting started!
As I type, Davis Wilson is at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas &mdash; where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will share what&rsquo;s next for his red-hot company.
Sean Ring is preparing to tell you all about &ldquo;The Physics of Trump&rdquo;... an in-depth look at how the president-elect and his cabinet will influence the markets.
James Altucher and his team continue to follow Bitcoin&rsquo;s growth &mdash; finding evidence that it could double from here!
And our resident Maverick, Enrique Abeyta, is zeroing in on more &ldquo;<a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/the-echo-trade-an-ultra-rare-and-profitable-stock-pattern-ppg">echo trades</a>&rdquo; that no one is expecting to take off.
So strap yourself in&hellip;
Because while 2025 is less than a week old, our team is already tossing you lucrative ideas at full speed!

Big Ideas to Start 2025!

There are just two days left in 2024&hellip;
And Publisher Matt Insley wants the team to get as much rest and relaxation before what&rsquo;s shaping up to be a very busy 12 months.
In a minute, I&rsquo;ll tell you some of the exciting things we have in store for you.
As you&rsquo;ll see, they&rsquo;re all designed with you in mind!
But first, let&rsquo;s take a look at our top stories of 2024&hellip;
They represent our biggest, most popular and most important research and analysis for the year &mdash; including several that had been locked from public view!
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Most-Liked Stories &amp; Analysis of 2024:</h2>

But his May 8 edition shows why it&rsquo;s a good idea to bookmark everything he says. Dave starts with a look at how a ban on TikTok would affect small businesses &mdash; important to know as the Chinese-owned social media app runs out of legal options to keep running in the United States. He also looks at the economic effects of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which could worsen if Donald Trump takes a hard line on Iran. His thoughts on cryptocurrencies and the &ldquo;Washington-Wall Street&rdquo; revolving door are just as relevant today, too!</li>

The Bureau of Labor Statistics was caught sending advanced inflation data to &ldquo;super users&rdquo; on Wall Street. In other words, select financial institutions and deep-pocketed investors learn market-moving news before anyone else. Sean asks, what&rsquo;s stopping them from benefiting from their privileged information? Maybe it will come to an end as the Trump administration tries to dismantle the Deep State. But until then, Sean tells you how to even the score &mdash; and you still have time.</li>

But anyone who thinks Musk does everything on a whim hasn&rsquo;t been paying attention. Back in July, Chris Campbell showed Paradigm Mastermind Group members how Musk&rsquo;s various enterprises fit together. Readers and our team were amazed, which is why <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/green-bananas">I unlocked this analysis for you</a>. With Musk preparing to shake things up in Washington, D.C., it seems like a good time to review what his end goal could be.</li>

His bullish optimism was a great foil to all the negativity from the mainstream press. Maybe that&rsquo;s why it was James&rsquo; most-liked story for 2024. I <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/trumps-uncaged-tigers">unlocked it to give you a head start</a> on the revolutionary changes that could happen under Trump.

He predicted Joe Biden would drop out of the race &mdash; and that Donald Trump would win the White House. But that doesn&rsquo;t mean there&rsquo;s smooth sailing ahead. A few weeks back, Jim gave his Strategic Intelligence readers an honest assessment of what Trump&rsquo;s victory means for the economy. It proved so popular that <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/an-epic-time-for-stock-traders">I unlocked it for you</a>. And while <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/a-vance-victory">Jim&rsquo;s analysis of the vice presidential debate</a> was Paradigm&rsquo;s most-liked story of the year, this one wasn&rsquo;t far behind.

Did your favorite story make the list? Let me know at <a href="mailto:concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com">concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com</a>.
Now, here&rsquo;s a quick look at Paradigm has in store for you in the new year&hellip;
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Looking Forward to 2025</h2>
As <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/2025-the-year-of-you">I said a few weeks ago</a>, Publisher Matt Insley has declared that 2025 will be the &ldquo;Year of Our Boss&rdquo; &mdash; YOU!
After all, Paradigm Press wouldn&rsquo;t exist without your loyalty. So we&rsquo;re committed to making our appreciation crystal-clear over the next 12 months.
First, we&rsquo;re looking to launch a trading service designed for everyday investors.
It will be a great introduction to some of Wall Street&rsquo;s most lucrative strategies &mdash; led by &ldquo;maverick&rdquo; trader Enrique Abeyta himself!
We also have a few big special events in mind.
James Altucher is in talks to attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference in March 2025. With so many innovators converging in one place, James is sure to get the inside scoop on the next wave of disruptive technologies.
Next, Jim Rickards wants to return to the <a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/whiskey-bar-summit-jekyll-island-2023">birthplace of the Federal Reserve, Jekyll Island</a>. Expect him to discuss the Fed&rsquo;s latest failures and review Donald Trump&rsquo;s performance to date.
Then there&rsquo;s the next edition of our Paradigm Shift Summit&hellip; your chance to hear our experts live and in person.
And don&rsquo;t forget about our member appreciation month. We&rsquo;re planning a four-week run of special reports, videos and showcases that highlight the best of everything Paradigm has to offer.
In short, 2025 is shaping up to be a very exciting year.
I&rsquo;m glad you&rsquo;ll be such a big part of it!

The Best of 2024 (and 2025!)

It&rsquo;s a short trading week, with the markets closing early tomorrow and staying closed through Christmas.
But that doesn&rsquo;t mean things will be quiet until the New Year.
In a minute, I&rsquo;ll tell you what could happen during the holiday break&hellip; and how our team will guide you through it.
First, though, 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://rudeawakening.info/posts/margin-loans-for-musks-space-pioneers">&ldquo;Margin Loans for Musk&rsquo;s Space Pioneers&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/margin-loans-for-musks-space-pioneers">Rude Awakening</a><a href="https://rudeawakening.info/posts/margin-loans-for-musks-space-pioneers">, Sean Ring)</a>: People who own valuable shares of stock can&rsquo;t enjoy their profits without selling their shares. But if they sell, they&rsquo;ll miss out if the stock becomes even more valuable. As Sean explains, however, a type of loan lets people in this situation have their cake and eat it, too. In fact, employees of Elon Musk&rsquo;s SpaceX recently received a sweetheart deal to put this strategy in motion. Gorfan F. calls Sean&rsquo;s take s a &ldquo;great article,&rdquo; adding, &ldquo;I sort of knew how those loans worked, but now I understand them even better.&rdquo;</li>

<li><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/make-ai-agents-work-for-you-part-one">&ldquo;Make AI Agents Work for You (Part One)&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/make-ai-agents-work-for-you-part-one">Altucher Confidential,</a><a href="https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/make-ai-agents-work-for-you-part-one"> Chris Campbell)</a>: You probably know that artificial intelligence (AI) software can perform simple tasks like answering questions and summarizing data. But Chris says the day is rapidly approaching when AI can actually do things for you &mdash; like plan a trip, schedule appointments, even save money on your bills. All with very limited input from you! The technology could easily become Wall Street&rsquo;s next obsession&hellip; and this introduction from Chris was our most-liked story last week.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/fed-recap-the-markets-lead-the-fed-concierge">&ldquo;Fed Recap: The Markets Lead the Fed&rdquo; (</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/fed-recap-the-markets-lead-the-fed-concierge">Crisis Trader with Jim Rickards</a><a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/article/fed-recap-the-markets-lead-the-fed-concierge">, Jim Rickards)</a>: Last Wednesday, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, as expected. But what it had to say about future policy moves sent Wall Street into a panic. Jim walked his Crisis Trader members through the Fed&rsquo;s decision and decoded the press releases and statements that followed the meeting. As he explains, what the Fed will do next is kind of murky. And given the impact it could have on your portfolio, I decided to unlock Jim&rsquo;s full thoughts for you.</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 next week, I&rsquo;ll unveil our Top Stories of 2024&hellip; as well as preview what could be our Top Stories of 2025!
<h2 class="subhead nbp">The Reader Forum:</h2>
First from the mailbag today, Jim R. says:
Happy holidays to everyone at Paradigm. And thanks for the opportunity that you have given me. 
Happy holidays to you, too, Jim! But I think we should be thanking you for the opportunity.
The opportunity to share our knowledge&hellip; teach you our strategies&hellip; and to help you get ahead! As we always say, Paradigm Press wouldn&rsquo;t exist without you.
So your trust and loyalty is always appreciated.
Next, Ron D. wants Ray Blanco to know:
I followed your advice and purchased Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (<a href="https://my.paradigmpressgroup.com/ticker/CRDO">CRDO</a>) at $27.19 a share. I was especially excited about what you were saying, then that I went in with a substantial amount, at least for me&hellip; I chose to hold all and I am still holding. Thank you for your sound advice. 
I hope you&rsquo;re reading this, Ron, because I want to congratulate you on your big win! Ray first recommended CRDO shares in Paradigm Mastermind Group in May. With them currently selling for over $68, you&rsquo;re looking at a 151% gain.
But I do want to caution you to never put too much money into any one position. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to consider setting stop-loss orders to protect those profits if the stock suddenly changes direction. (Our FREE &ldquo;<a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/post/stock-investing-101-buying-selling-and-earning-income">Stock Investing 101</a>&rdquo; guide on our <a href="https://concierge.paradigmpressgroup.com/archive/wealth-desk">Wealth Desk</a> can tell you how.)
I&rsquo;m not trying to discourage or scare you &mdash; but our top priority is keeping your wealth safe!
Finally for today, Jim T. says:
Someone made reference to the Paradigm Press Slack channel that I know nothing about. Can you&hellip; identify what the PP Slack channel is? 
Happy to shine some light on this for you, Jim.
Slack is our in-house communications platform, developed by Slack Technologies Inc. While it has multiple functions, it&rsquo;s mostly used as a chat program for all of Paradigm Press.
Our team members can have private conversations. There are also specific channels for our various departments, as well as a channel for the entire staff.
Whoever referred to a Slack channel probably meant our Editorial channel. It&rsquo;s where our editors, analysts and commentators share news stories&hellip; bounce around new ideas&hellip; and get feedback on stocks they&rsquo;re watching or considering recommending.
These conversations are not meant for the public. Only employees have access to our Slack channels.
The closest anyone outside our organization gets to these internal chats is through The Wiretap, a weekly publication that&rsquo;s exclusively available to Omega Wealth Circle members.
Every Wednesday, Publisher Matt Insley sends our elite members five of the biggest insights and analysis straight from our staff meetings and Slack messages.
Otherwise, you&rsquo;ll see the results of these conversations in the strategies and recommendations we send in our issues and alerts!
That wraps up things for now.
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, as I mentioned, 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>
The days after Christmas typically see less buying and selling on Wall Street.
Most investors are busy celebrating the holidays, not thinking about their portfolios.
So the few people who are paying attention to the markets can have an oversized influence on prices.
It usually comes in the form of a &ldquo;Santa Claus rally.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s the tendency of stocks to rise between Christmas and New Year&rsquo;s Day.
In fact, on average, the S&amp;P 500 sees a 1.3% jump.
Of course, that&rsquo;s just an average. And sometimes, instead of Santa, Wall Street gets the Grinch.
We&rsquo;re not sure which will show up this year&hellip; but our team will keep you in the loop. Expect must-read insights and presentations &mdash; not to mention more predictions about what lies ahead.
Our analysts will also be on high alert for any opportunities or problems that will crop up. They&rsquo;ll let you know if there&rsquo;s any actions you need to take.
So while I encourage you to enjoy the holidays, keep an eye on your inbox, too.
We might help you avoid getting coal in your portfolio&hellip; or deliver chances to make your season brighter!
Merry Christmas, happy holidays and good investing,

Will Wall Street See Santa… or the Grinch?

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>

<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!

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>

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>

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.

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>

<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>

<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>

<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.

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.

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.

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.
<h2 class="subhead nbp">Your Top Stories &amp; Analysis of the Week:</h2>

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.

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.
