Ignore Everything Outside of Your Control And Watch Your Wealth Grow

The people who run the world we live in will do things that change it.

Outside of who we vote for, there's not a whole lot we can do about that. Getting hung up on what you can't control is a recipe for emotional and monetary poverty.

Yet, it appears the whole market has become paralyzed with the same tariff fears. A fear centered on something they cannot control.

Folks are obsessed with situations they can't control. But in investing, there will always be situations you have no control over.

That was true during the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s… The runaway inflation we saw in the 1970s… The Cold War era of the 1980s… The Gulf War at the start of the 1990s… The dotcom bust of the early 2000s… The Great Financial Crisis of 2008… And the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020.

Despite all that tumult, not only did we survive each of those crises, we thrived. Vast personal fortunes were made during every one of those decades. The key was to focus on where the opportunity was during each period.

As I look at this decade, it's clear to me government debt will continue to expand… The buying power of the dollar will erode (meaning prices will go up and your dollars will buy less goods)... Artificial Intelligence (AI) will lay waste to millions of jobs… And the divide between rich and poor will grow even wider.

That sounds awful. And it will be for many people who don't act now to insulate themselves from what's coming.

For the quality of your future life, it's never been more important than now to own the right assets that will carry you through the storm of change you will have to navigate in this decade.

The good news is the right asset mix will ensure you exit this decade richer than you went into it. And that's what you want to focus on – not the day-to-day gyrations of asset prices.

Because on any given day, your portfolio can get temporarily savaged by events completely out of your control.

The Best Asset to Buy During the 1970s

In many ways, this decade could prove similar to the 1970s. Of course, you didn't have AI technology back then… But you had massive job losses due to a huge slowdown in economic activity.

On top of this, you had out-of-control inflation. The average American saw the quality of their life erode dramatically as the cost of living shot up 112% from 1970 to the end of 1979.

As awful as the 1970s was for millions of people, the decade was also stuffed full of fortune-making opportunities. For example, anyone who bought gold made money. And lots of it.

While inflation was running rampant in the 1970s, gold stormed higher from a low of $35 to a high of $307. And gold stocks did even better. The Barron's Gold Mining Index shot up almost 500% from 1970–74.

Stocks offered investors a life-changing buying opportunity when the S&P 500 dropped 48% in the 1973–74 bear market. Outside of that huge buying opportunity, energy stocks, gold stocks, and commodities went parabolic during the 1970s.

Opportunities to get wealthy were readily available in the 1970s – if you knew where to look. The same will be true of this decade.

However, if you're looking for an up-only volatility-free ride, I hate to be the bearer of bad news: That just isn't going to happen.

Even with gold – which was among the very best of investment ideas of the 1970s – you had to deal with drops of 48% from 1974–76 and 30% from 1978–79.

Gold looked dead during those periods. Yet, by the end of the decade, gold had risen 14x in value.

The families that had the foresight to own a little gold exited the 1970s far richer than when they entered the decade.

Here's the key: Volatility is the admission price you have to pay if you want to rapidly improve your financial life.

Bitcoin Is the Gold of the 2020's

The gold of this decade is bitcoin. It is imperative to your family's financial future that you have an allocation to bitcoin.

Anywhere from 5–10% is enough of an allocation to insulate your family from the very worst effects that inflation, AI technology, and government policies may have on the overall economy.

Just like gold in the 1970s, bitcoin won't be a straight line up. There will be pullbacks, stagnation, and boredom.

The way that you made a fortune in the 1970s was by having a big allocation to gold and a tiny allocation to stocks levered to the price of gold.

Small-cap gold stocks like Agnico Eagle Mines, Barrick Gold, and Newmont saw returns of 1,090%, 1,190%, and 1,170%, respectively, from the 1970s into the 1980s.

In the same way, these small stocks did extraordinarily well as gold went higher, so will a handful of the smaller altcoins. These smaller coins are highly levered to the price of bitcoin. That is why some of the biggest winners of this decade have been in and will continue to be in altcoins.

One way we're harnessing the power of both altcoins and AI is by positioning ourselves in AI altcoins.

Specifically "AI Agent" coins.

As I recently told you, AI Agents are a very intelligent application of AI technology built around a specific set of tasks that are tailored to your individual needs.

Imagine having a room full of the world's best personal assistants. So you would have the world's best executive assistant. The world's best personal assistant. The world's best health coach. The world's best vacation planner. And so on.

But each AI Agent would know your preferences to an even greater degree than any human ever could.

This is the promise of AI Agents. I call it "personalized" AI. And it's coming.

The proliferation of AI Agents will be a decade-defining trend. It's imperative to your long-term financial health that you have some exposure to it.

The beauty of these coins is you don't have to own a lot to make a lot. A tiny investment of $200–400 into each idea if you are a smaller investor or $500–1,000 per idea if you are a bigger investor could transform your financial life.

To get access to my most up-to-date research on AI Agents, make sure to watch my recent AI briefing right here.

During the briefing, I explained exactly what AI agents are… How they will be adopted… And how they can help make you a small fortune this year.
