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

It’s a short trading week — but there’s still a lot of weird stuff happening.

Israel and Iran lobbing missiles and drones at each other…

“No Kings” protests across the United States…

There’s also the Federal Reserve meeting about interest rates…

And Donald Trump could throw a monkey wrench into all of it at any time.

But why is it happening?

We’ll try to answer that question on Wednesday, June 18, at 1:27 p.m. ET.

You’ll also get a specific look at when the markets could start to crash.

More details after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “How to Grab IPO Shares Before Everyone Else” (Truth & Trends, Enrique Abeyta and James Welch): It’s a big deal when a hot company debuts on a public stock exchange. But the biggest winners have privileged access to buy shares before everyone else. Now, however, the tables are finally tipping in your favor. James Welch — Enrique’s newest researcher — shares an easy way to secure shares of a new company as soon as they’re available. It’s your chance to score big gains on IPOs like the big boys.

• “Ignore ETH at Your Own Risk” (Altucher Confidential, Chris Campbell): Bitcoin is suddenly hot again — while many other cryptocurrencies seem stuck in place. But looks can be deceiving, as Chris explains. He takes you behind the scenes of one of Bitcoin’s biggest competitors on the crypto stage. All signs are pointing to an explosive breakout… meaning you may not have much time to buy in at such a low price. Discover why this was one of our most-liked e-letters last week!

• “Iran War Alert: Buy Cyber” (Altucher’s Investment Network, James Altucher): Iran can’t attack the United States with planes and missiles… but they could hurt us in other ways. That’s why James recently reviewed one of his Altucher’s Investment Network plays with members. It’s a company on the frontlines of the new domain of warfare. And most of Wall Street is still sleeping on its profit potential. The timely topic easily made it our most-liked story of the week. And the company James spotlights is so vital to national defence that I knew I had to unlock his analysis for you.

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

The Reader Forum:

First in the Reader Forum today, Altucher True Alpha member Amber W. left us a five-star Google review, adding:

These guys brought me into the real options trading world. I was brand new. From finding the right brokerage account to the info on very good detail behind the recommended trades from beginning to end has been so accurate and profitable. Everything you'll see they promise comes true. I've closed out three options trades from them now with over 1,000% gains each time, and I'm a true rookie!

If you’re seeing this, Amber, thanks for taking the time to leave us such kind words. And congratulations on the big wins!

James’ Blue Spike Indicator has been on a real hot streak — delivering huge gains in record time. I’d love to know how it feels to turn $1,000 into more than $10,000 in less than two weeks.

And I’m even more impressed that you’ve only recently started trading options!

So many new members ask us how to get started, from finding a broker to understanding stock options. We have all those answers in our FREE Wealth Desk library — which I’m assuming you used to get your account up and running.

I’m glad that knowledge is literally paying off for you… and I look forward to hearing from you again when Altucher’s True Alpha delivers even more gains!

Michael V. also gave us maximum stars in his Google review to say:

I have subscribed to many memberships in gaining information about stock trading. Paradigm Press is by far the best. I’ve decided to join Paradigm’s Omega Wealth Circle…

That’s a stellar compliment, Michael. I’m not sure if you make a point of reading this weekly Concierge Letter. If you do, thanks for trusting us enough to join our highest level of service.

With Omega Wealth Circle, you’ll get a lifetime of every service we publish — giving you the widest range of recommendations we offer.

And don’t forget your membership also gets you a free ticket to our upcoming Paradigm Shift Summit. So I hope to see you Oct. 9 and 10 in Nashville, Tenn.

(We still have seats available for members who aren’t part of the Omega Wealth Circle. Click here to secure your spot.)

Finally for today, Harlan S. writes James Altucher to say:

I paid for advice. It is insulting to continue to dangle “secret” trades and ask for money.

I hope you’re reading this, Harlan, because I take complaints like this very seriously.

You joined Altucher’s Investment Network for research, analysis and stock recommendations — which our team continues to deliver.

Consider the reports you received when you signed up… bursting with stocks and cryptocurrencies you could add to your portfolio right away.

Or the frequent video updates and webinars with James… each offering in-depth insights on top-of-mind topics.

And don’t forget your monthly issues… featuring fresh picks as well as a review of the biggest bargains in the open portfolio.

It’s all the information you need to build your wealth — delivered straight to your inbox week after week.

But some members crave more. They want deeper dives into specific stocks… speculative strategies for chances to score bigger gains… riskier plays promising quicker returns…

There’s nothing “secret” about these kinds of opportunities. They’re just not appropriate for a large audience.

So we create separate services that make it easier for members to get the strategies they want — while helping prevent others from making trades they’re completely unprepared for.

If you’re not interested in paying a little more to learn advanced techniques, no problem. The advice you receive from Altucher’s Investment Network can help you reach your goals.

But we’re also standing by to help take your portfolio to a new level!

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

The markets will be closed Thursday, June 19, for the federal holiday.

If Wall Street is as wild this week as our team predicts, investors will welcome the break!

Just don’t expect things to calm down anytime soon.

In fact, our most storied forecaster warns that stocks look ready to fall as we head into the summer months.

Mason Sexton famously warned people to bet against the stock market 11 days before Black Monday in October 1987.

He did it again in 2022… telling investors that stocks had topped out just before the NASDAQ plunged 36% in a few months.

More recently, Mason’s forecasts have correctly predicted which way individual stocks like Tesla Inc. (TSLA) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) were heading — giving his members a chance to profit from the moves.

Mason’s charting system is unlike anything else we offer… but you can’t argue with his results.

Now he says something big is coming — volatility unlike anyone has seen in a long, long time.

There is still time to prepare, however. And Mason’s constantly updated charts can guide you to profits through the worst of it.

It’s your best chance to be ready for Wall Street to go crazy!
