Trump Can’t Fix THIS…

Donald Trump is in the White House… and he’s already made good on many of his campaign promises.

But the economy still faces many problems that even Trump’s brain trust can’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… with ripple effects that impact every facet of your life! 

I’ll give you a sneak peek at his prophecy after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “X Money: How Musk Breaks the Banks” (Altucher Confidential, Chris Campbell): Elon Musk bought Twitter with plans to make it more than a social media site. And he’ll finally put his plans in motion in 2025. Chris explains exactly what Musk has in mind… 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!

• “Bitcoin Defies the Drawdown” (Truth & Trends, Greg Guenthner): Most of our team expects choppy markets during the early days of Donald Trump’s presidency. But Greg says that Bitcoin looks ripe for a strong rally. He lists three reasons to believe the cryptocurrency will burst through its December highs — with or without an Executive Order from the Oval Office.

• “Will Deportation Hurt The Economy?” (Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence, Jim Rickards): Investors are wondering how Trump’s other policies will affect their money. So in his latest mailbag alert, Jim tackled Strategic Intelligence members’ biggest questions. See what reshoring manufacturing and sending illegal immigrants home means for your wallet, as well whether it’s time to invest in silver. Jim’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.

The Reader Forum:

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’m glad you benefited from this Crisis Trader With Jim Rickards recommendation!

Senior Analyst Dan Amoss recommended put options on Winnebago Industries Inc. (WGO) 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’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’s research and analysis often lead to lucrative recommendations. But we also share our strategies — giving you the tools to make wise investment decisions on your own.

It helps you take control of your money… putting you on a path towards full financial independence!

Finally for today, last week’s Concierge Letter included a letter from Rich A. He’s a very happy member of Microcap Millionaire, reporting his “initial investment of $12,000 is now $23,803.”

We’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 (SOUN) , 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’t been as positive, Tim. But I’m assuming your 1200% loss on SoundHound is a typo, because the lowest stock shares can go is 100%.

Even then, SOUN isn’t in the Microcap Millionaire portfolio.

On Dec. 26, the team did recommend buying shares of a company they call “SoundHound on wheels.” Its shares got caught up in Wall Street’s recent selloff — but are still up 50% from the initial buy alert.

And it is true that Microcap Millionaire hasn’t issued a single sell alert yet. That doesn’t mean you’re on your own, however.

James Altucher, Zach Scheidt and Chris Cimorelli are shooting for maximum gains. So they won’t recommend getting out of a position unless there’s a fundamental change at the company… 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’s time, too.

Yes, there are a few losing stocks in the model portfolio. But they each have strong turnaround potential. Meanwhile, the team’s average gain is 21% — including winners and losers.

So if you’ve followed all of their research, your open positions should still be ahead by double digits.

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

Ever since the election, our team has warned that Donald Trump may not have a smooth second term.

Many economic forces are reaching their breaking point… 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 — and isn’t paying down any of its principal!

That’s just one factor leading our newest team member to make a dire prophecy about what will happen next…

He’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’s narrowed down the exact date that the stock market could start to sink.

Keep in mind, this isn’t coming from someone just out of business school.

In fact, our newest team member has a long history of making correct calls — going all the way back to the gold, stock and bond breakout of 1982!

So we’re taking his newest prophecy very seriously… as well as his strategies for riding the incoming chaos for big gains.

Now he’s getting ready to introduce his latest research and analysis to the world.

Expect an invitation to get to know him soon!
