The "Trump Effect"
Meets the "Elon Effect"
Prosperity Insider Nation,
The Trump Effect strikes again! And now, it’s meeting the “Elon Effect”...
We’ll believe this when we see it… But it could be phenomenally good news.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg put out a video announcing that Meta is doing away with third-party “fact-checkers” and restoring free expression to its social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
He said those so-called “fact-checkers” have “destroyed more trust than they’ve created.”
Another reform that could make a big difference: Facebook’s “trust and safety and content moderation team” that will police terms of service violations will be moved from California to Texas.
Zuckerberg has complained of being forced to censor public comments by the government (in violation of that pesky First Amendment) over the past four years.
But if he’s being honest, this will spell the end of that.
Taking inspiration from Elon Musk’s restoration of free speech to Twitter/X, Zuckerberg said the notoriously left-biased “fact-checkers” will be replaced with an X-style “community notes” feature, where the public will police misinformation by posting contradictory facts.
The leftist media hate Community Notes because they liked the old system: “We say it, and you shut up and believe it.” That’s why so many of them have fled Twitter/X.
Now, it appears that Facebook and Instagram will also no longer be safe spaces for them to spew their propaganda unchallenged.
Let’s hope this keeps spreading until there is no place online where users are censored from speaking their minds, as long as it’s not a threat against others.
For the record, this is exactly what the Framers intended when they wrote the First Amendment: A free marketplace of ideas in which bad ideas would be exposed by more free speech.
The entire purpose of free speech rights was to prevent the government from determining which ideas were worthy of being expressed.
So those who say the Framers never envisioned the advanced technological world we live in today are proved wrong once again.
You can’t fight technology, only embrace it. Especially when it comes to investing.
As Charles shared with us…
“Companies that stay on the edge of innovation — right where the wave of opportunity is — can achieve long, successful runs.”
And today, he’s going to show us why it pays to invest with one investing roadmap in mind... See below.

The Power of Patience and
Big Moves to Start Off 2025
By Charles Mizrahi
Founder, Alpha Investor
In the world of investing, it’s not about how many times you’re right — it’s about making the right moves when it truly counts.
Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s long-time partner at Berkshire Hathaway, once put it perfectly:
“If you took our top fifteen decisions out, we’d have a pretty average record. It wasn’t hyperactivity but a hell of a lot of patience. You stuck to your principles, and when opportunities came along, you pounced on them with vigor.”
This quote isn’t just a reflection on Berkshire Hathaway’s astounding 3.7 million percent return since 1965 — it’s a roadmap for smart investing.
Being Right Isn’t Enough
Real Talk: You can be right on 10 trades in a row, doubling your money each time, but if you’ve only invested $100 in each, you won’t see life-changing results.
The key to building wealth is identifying a few big opportunities with massive upside, having the conviction to act and putting significant capital behind them.
Buffett and Munger didn’t achieve their legendary success by making hundreds of small, successful trades.
Their portfolio was built on patience, discipline and 15 key decisions that accounted for the bulk of their returns. Just 15 key decisions … that’s it!
In fact, close to 80% of Berkshire’s stock investments are concentrated in just five companies…
Some of those positions he’s held for more than 35 years, such as…
- The Coca-Cola Company (1988).
- American Express (1991).
And others he added more recently…
- Bank of America (2011).
- Apple (2016).
- Chevron (2020).
That’s roughly one monumental trade every four years.
Our Portfolio Tells the Same Story
In the American Prosperity Report, we’ve seen the same principles at play.
While we currently have around 30 companies in the portfolio, the lion’s share of the gains comes from just a quarter of them.
Of our 34 total positions, 9 are up more than 100%, contributing to the portfolio’s standout returns.
Here’s the breakdown:
- An alternative asset manager is up 124%.
- A health care leader is up 225%.
- One chipmaker has soared 500%.
- And a cloud networking pioneer has delivered an incredible 1,000% return.
These winners aren’t just impressive — they’re life-changing.
They also show that just a handful of big trades can make all the difference in your portfolio.
The Path to Wealth: Fewer Trades, Bigger Rewards
The lesson here is clear: It’s not about being constantly active in the market — it’s about being ready when the big opportunities come along.
You don’t need 50 winning trades to build wealth.
What you need is patience, focus and the courage to make meaningful investments in your high-conviction ideas.
That’s why we stick to the principles that Munger and Buffett followed:
- Be patient. Wait for the right opportunities to come to you.
- Do your homework. Know the risks and rewards inside out.
- Invest big in your best ideas. When you see a game-changing opportunity, take a meaningful position.
So as you build your portfolio, remember — it’s not about how many trades you win.
It’s about finding those few big winners and having the conviction to make them count.
Let’s make 2025 the year of smart, decisive investing.
