🎉 Thank You for a Stellar Investor Day Weekend​
​

First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Investor Day event over the weekend! The energy, questions, and genuine interest in understanding markets made it an incredible experience for us. Our mission has always been to build a smart, collaborative investing community, and seeing that in action makes us more excited than ever for what’s ahead.

Special shoutout to those of you who expressed interest in learning more advanced topics about options – your curiosity has been noted, and we’ll be following up soon with focused resources and sessions. Stay tuned!

Macro Landscape:

Stay the Course, but Prepare for the Storms

During our event, we did a deep dive into the macro picture—including liquidity trends, money supply, rate paths, and how to build your portfolio with conviction in uncertain times. The key takeaway?

This philosophy has guided our high-performing trades and will continue to be a core pillar of our strategy. In a world filled with noise, knowing when and how to buy the dip and hedge with purpose gives us an edge.

🇺🇸 Trump Tax Bill Progress + Trade War Reframing​
​

On the political front, we’re finally seeing real momentum on the Trump tax proposal. Markets are reacting favorably to signs of progress, especially as the new round of tariffs is now better understood:

• Base rate of ~10% tariffs on most trading partners is becoming the default.
• Additional targeted tariffs remain, but this is far more structured than the early-April “Liberation Day” panic.

📌 This is shaping up much more like Trump’s first term trade policies—not the world-ending scenario markets feared last month.

Near-Term Outlook:

Moody’s Downgrade Noise & Bond Yield Pressure

Despite the headlines, Moody’s U.S. debt downgrade is largely symbolic and shouldn’t alarm investors. The U.S. Treasury yield remains the “risk-free rate” in global finance—used as the foundation for virtually all economic modeling, asset pricing, and portfolio strategy. This is not just a market convention, it’s a structural cornerstone of modern finance. That status isn’t going to vanish from textbooks or Wall Street screens anytime soon.

However, we do see bond yields continuing to rise, and that creates short-term pressure on equity valuations, especially in tech and growth names.

Our approach?

✅ Stay hedged.

✅ Book profits in overstretched trades.

✅ Keep cash ready for opportunities.

This is the type of volatility that creates asymmetric setups—and our All-Access and managed portfolios are positioning accordingly.

Gold & Bitcoin: Shining Through the Debt Debate

While traditional markets may wobble under macro headlines and after a huge recovery rally from April lows, two assets are quietly proving their worth again:

• Gold is thriving in this uncertain environment, pushing toward new highs amid growing global demand and weakening fiat confidence.
• Bitcoin continues to benefit from ETF inflows, expanding corporate adoption, and the rising narrative around its role as digital strategic reserve. With the ongoing U.S. debt and creditworthiness debates, both assets are positioned beautifully as non-correlated, long-term hedges.

🧭 Final Thoughts​
​

We’re entering a pivotal period. The tailwinds from fiscal policy, re-alignment in trade relationships, and safe haven demand are all building behind the scenes. That said, volatility will remain high, and this is exactly why our strategy of hedged growth + macro-informed entries continues to work.
