“There’s No Downside…”

Markets are heading higher as the U.S. government gets ready to re-open.

But last week’s pullback revealed that too many investors don’t know what to do when stocks take a dip.

That’s why we’re launching a new initiative at Paradigm Press.

It’s a commitment to do more than just help you make money — but also to help you keep it!

I’ll tell you more after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “The Socialist Sandbox” (Rude Awakening, Sean Ring): No one’s quite sure what to make of Zohran Mamdani’s election victory in New York. But Sean can’t wait for the self-proclaimed socialist to take office. Before the votes were even cast, Sean explained why he was rooting for a Mamdani victory. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the chickens to come home to roost. This was Sean’s most liked e-letter last week, and a favorite of the staff, too. So make sure you check it out!

• “WTF is Palantir??” (Million Mission, Davis Wilson): Follow along as Davis takes you on a deep dive into one of Wall Street’s most controversial companies. Learn what Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) does, how it makes its money and why so many people have the wrong idea about its business model. Davis also digs into whether Palantir is worth investing in. See why this in-depth expose was Davis’ most-liked story of the week.

• “A Rough Week for the Bulls” (The Trading Desk, Greg Guenthner): Stocks, cryptocurrencies and more struggled last week. But Greg put things into perspective for his Trading Desk members. He explained why the downturn felt worse than it actually was, and shared his market outlook for the rest of the year. You’ll even learn about some promising opportunities on the horizon. And since everybody could use some guidance right now, I’ve decided to unlock Greg’s take 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, Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence Pro told members to close their iShares Silver Trust (SLV) options position on Friday — locking in a triple-digit gain in just five months.

Stephen H. was so happy that he left us a five-star Google review, reporting a:

324.8% profit on my SLV options trade. This is the first service I have tried that actually lived up to their claims and made me more money than the service cost. Winning!

I hope you’re reading this, Stephen, because that’s exactly the kind of news we like to hear! And thank you so much for taking the time to share your success with us to the world.

Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence Pro is specifically designed for anyone who wants to go a step beyond the ordinary. So this should be the first of many big wins for you.

I’d also encourage you to look at our other options services… because they live up to their claims, too!

Next, Publisher Matt Insley and V.P. of Research Aaron Gentzler held a live “Ask Us Anything” broadcast last week — exclusively for Omega Wealth Circle members.

During the event, Sabrina and Rayne posted in the chat:

Thank you for all your service. We actually feel safer in these volatile times than we thought possible because of listening to all the wisdom coming from every one in the Paradigm family.

Peace of mind is priceless, Sabrina and Rayne… but it’s exactly what we try to deliver every single day at Paradigm Press.

I’m glad you’ve chosen to join the Omega Wealth Circle, which gives you the broadest spectrum of insights and recommendations. As I always say, we wouldn’t exist without loyal members like you.

So thanks for trusting us!

Finally for today, Mark S. has a question about our smartphone app:

I like the app, but is there a way to increase the font size to make it easier to read? Otherwise I revert to the website because it allowed me to change the font size.

Thanks for asking, Mark! Because the app does give you the option of making the words bigger.

Log into the app, then tap the profile pic in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. (It looks like a person in a circle.)

Tap on Appearance, then change the Text Size to Larger.

There’s a lot more our app can do, too. So if you have more questions about it, let me know at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.

As always, you can also use that email address to share whatever’s on your mind.

Questions? I’ll get answers! Comments? Let me hear them! Problems? I’ll try to solve them!

This is YOUR forum!

(And don’t forget, we also have a FREE library of introductory investment guides — covering everything from finding a broker to how to trade stock options — on our Wealth Desk. For customer service issues, please use our contact page.)

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

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

“There’s no downside to education,” says Enrique Abeyta.

The mastermind behind Breaking Profits and The Maverick has spent the last few years teaching everyday people the techniques and strategies he used as a billion-dollar hedge fund manager.

Now he’s helping ensure ALL of our services are the absolute best they can be.

Don’t get the wrong idea, though.

When it comes to finding profit opportunities, our team always brings their A game — uncovering stocks and options that are due for breakouts.

But helping you make money isn’t enough…

In fact, it’s just as important to prepare you for pullbacks and guide you through the inevitable downturns.

So in the coming weeks, we’re going to put more emphasis on portfolio management and asset allocation.

Expect more guidance on diversifying your holdings… and not risking too much on certain plays.

Because the bear market will inevitably strike again.

Only next time, it won’t bite you as hard.

Stay tuned!
