September Shocker

September is usually a rough month for stocks.

In fact, the markets are sliding lower as I type.

But James Altucher says a major profit catalyst will kick in for some stocks starting on Monday, Sept. 9.

It’s so powerful — it could 10x your money in the next 12 months, regardless of what happens this election season.

I’ll give you a sneak peek of what he expects in a minute… as well as how you can prepare.

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

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “The Truth About RFK Jr.” (Altucher Confidential, James Altucher): The 2024 presidential race has been one surprise after another. One of the most recent was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to end his candidacy and endorse Donald Trump for the White House. James has interviewed RFK Jr. for his podcast in the past. So he shares some thoughts on the politician and how his support for Trump will affect the election. Discover why this was our most-liked e-letter last week!

• “NVDA’s Blackwell Bummer” (Paradigm Pressroom’s 5 Bullets, Dave Gonigam): Last week we told you how Nvidia Corp.’s (NVDA) earnings could affect the markets. Now that we’ve seen the numbers, Dave tells you what to expect next. He also discusses an earnings miss that could signal real trouble for the U.S. economy — and shares some overlooked signs that a recession is already here. He closes with the latest example of political hypocrisy in New York and his usual responses to reader mail.

• “Preserve and Grow Your Wealth With Copper” (Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence, Byron King): While copper isn’t considered a “precious” metal, Byron recently told Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence members why it should have an important place in your portfolio. He even shares some of his favorite miners in this space. As unusual, Byron’s insights are second to none, which is probably why this was our most-liked story last week. I also think copper deserves your attention, so I went ahead and unlocked this paid article 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:

As you probably know, I keep a close eye on the concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com inbox. But I also monitor our other feedback addresses to ensure we’re providing you with the absolute best service.

This week, Mara S. wants Jim Rickards to know:

 I’m impressed with the service you provide. Originally, I thought that this was a hoax but have learned that this is the real McCoy. I couldn’t be happier to make money in this economy with your guidance.

Jim and his team have seen this, Mara. But I hope you don’t mind me sharing it here.

We get many complaints that our video presentations spend too much time establishing our experts’ credentials. Your letter demonstrates why those introductions are so important. If you don’t know who we are, why should you believe us?

So I’m very glad to hear that we’ve earned your trust. And you can expect many opportunities to profit no matter what the markets send your way!

Next, JoAnn K. tells Zach Scheidt:

Trying to learn the stock market has been totally overwhelming, and I'm very lucky to have the guidance of you, Jim Rickards, James Altucher and Ray Blanco. But the person I really relate to is you, and I'm thankful for your guidance; I've been frozen in fear about the economy, etc. So thank you for your help and empathy.

I hope you’re seeing this, JoAnn, because I agree with you. While all of our team is extraordinary, Zach is one of the most down-to-Earth in the bunch.

Yes, there are plenty of scary forces threatening the markets. But there will always be pockets of profit opportunities, too. You just have to be brave enough to grab them.

Count on Zach and our other experts to continue giving you that courage!

Turning to the concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com inbox, Kim P. asks:

Finally for today, Coralie H. says:

As the market seems to be shifting focus, it would be very, very helpful if the editors and analysts would tell subscribers what stocks previously discussed or recommended I should consider getting out of as they are likely to go down. This is not at all obvious to many of us!

Thanks for writing, Coralie. And rest assured, our analysts watch their open recommendations very carefully. The second anything looks dicey, they’ll let you know with a sell alert.

In fact, James Altucher and his team recently recommended selling some of the most vulnerable Altucher’s Investment Network positions. Members had a chance to score a 517% gain from a single sell.

Expect more chances for similar profits as our team prepares for big changes in the stock market!

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

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

While most analysts will spend today warning that September is historically the worst month for stocks…

James Altucher is tracking a massive tech product launch that could impact hundreds of millions of users virtually overnight.

In fact, he’s collected shocking evidence that many of the world’s most popular smartphones are about to be rendered obsolete.

As you could probably guess, it has something to do with Apple Inc. (AAPL).

After all, the company practically invented the smartphone in 2007 — its first step to becoming a $1 trillion business.

Now it’s getting ready to rock the world again…

With a Sept. 9 announcement that’s being called a “once-in-a-decade” moment.

But buying Apple stock is not the best way to play it.

Instead, James has identified a tiny company that’s helping make Apple’s impending breakthrough possible.

According to his research, its share price could grow 10x over the next year… even 100x over the next decade.

Remember, the critical date is Monday, Sept. 9.

By this time next week, everyone will know what Apple has up its sleeve. So make sure you’re in position well before then.

James will tell you how.
