AJ is by far the best teacher in the financial markets. The realized gains pay for the annual cost in days. Thank you for everything you have taught me / us AJ!
1,000+ paid subscribers. $500 per month. No paid marketing.
Our Hardcore Channel (HC), AJ Investment Research’s premium investment research subscription, has crossed a major milestone: more than 1,000 paying subscribers.
At $500 per month, HC is not a casual subscription. And you cannot build a 1,000+ subscriber research service at that price on hype.
You have to earn it.
HC has grown organically because investors subscribed, found value in the research, stayed, and recommended it to others.
And importantly, the vast majority of subscribers who joined three months ago are still with us today.
At $500 per month, you cannot fake it. At $500 per month you have to deliver. Our subscribers tell us "it's worth every penny".
We have always tried to keep HC focused on what matters: doing the work, going deeper than the consensus, being independent in our thinking and having the conviction to make calls when our research leads us somewhere different. Some subscribers have even told us that our research has changed their lives.
And rather than asking you to take our word for it we have attached just a small sample of the feedback we receive from HC subscribers.
To everyone who has supported us, recommended us, and placed their trust in our work: thank you.
We are only getting started.

Worth a read. It may change your life.

Comments on the original post are overwhelmingly positive. Members report feeling secure, call HC the best investment they've made, cite high hit rates and life-changing gains this year, and value the paid access for cutting noise. Multiple thank-yous and strong endorsements appear. One asks about a specific trade. No critical replies in the sampled set.

Joining the HC is so much more fun than being stuck in the Tesla cult. Just ask any member. They will tell you. It's not only less nerve wracking but it also generates the alpha the Tesla cult was telling you about.
2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

With Tesla's Q2 earnings call this week, I'm sadly going in with much different expectations. I really don't know how much we can believe of what Tesla and Elon say
I'm only sharing this with the hope that Elon and Tesla will recalibrate and learn to underpromise and overperform rather than the opposite which creates new, unnecessary attack vectors and disillusionment of many Tesla fans and investors. If these goals are so uncertain, please just don't share them. Say whatever you want internally, but to say them publicly and not even get close does nothing but hurt the company and many following it
In just a few of the most recent calls Elon said the following:
Q2 '25: "I believe half of the population of the US will be covered by Tesla's Robotaxi by the end of the year."
Reality: not even close
Q3 '25: "We do expect to be operating robotaxi in, I think, about eight to ten metro areas by the end of the year."
Reality: 1
Q3 '25: "We expect to be operating in Nevada, Florida, and Arizona by the end of the year."
Reality: none
Q4 '25: "In terms of taxi vehicles carrying paid customers, I think we're well over 500 at this point between the Bay Area and Austin. This will probably double every month type of thing."
Reality: number largely stayed flat and Unsupervised is much smaller
I love Tesla and have been a superfan for well over a decade. I'm not here for short term $TSLA performance. But this is far more than just a one-off mistake or single moment of hubris. This is clearly a trend and as someone who holds Tesla to a higher standard, I'd love to see them do better with setting expectations. And further, if you do miss a timeline that was very public, communicating the reasons transparently would go a very long way to maintaining credibility going forward

If there is anything I want people to know about me, it’s that I am a follower of Christ. I will forever be grateful for the death and resurrection of Jesus wiping my sin clean. I have done things in my life I wish I never had. But Jesus has allowed me to use my past to show his goodness. I will continue to show HIS light no matter what it costs me here on earth. Basketball, money, and fame all comes to an end. But eternity is forever!

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?
This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.

🚨Our weekly market screening for investors is now live (see link below).
Each week we apply our proprietary screening methodology to identify the most attractive opportunities in our coverage as well as the ones investors may want to avoid. The goal is simple: help investors focus their capital where the odds appear most favorable.
Last week’s results were a strong example of the value of this approach:
1) The three opportunities we flagged as top buys on Sunday, March 1 returned +15%, +5%, and +4% during the week.
2) Over the same period, the NASDAQ declined 1.2%.
3) Meanwhile, the three names we flagged as “least attractive” fell −10%, −4%, and −3%.
In other words, the signals from our screening helped highlight potential winners while steering investors away from notable underperformers even in a weak market. ("Everyone looks like a genius in a bull market")
This is exactly why many investors choose to subscribe to our research service.
Subscribers receive:
1) Our weekly market screening and in some cases intraweek updates (depending on market conditions).
2) Clear buy/avoid signals based on our proprietary framework.
3) Actionable insights designed to save time and improve decision-making.
Our subscribers effectively plug into a hedge fund.
One comment we hear frequently from new members is that their only regret is not subscribing sooner after they began reading our research.
If you find value in these insights, consider becoming a subscriber and getting full access to our weekly screens and analysis.

$HOOD Fair intrinsic value for Robinhood implies over 100% upside.
Robinhood gains dominance across every segment it enters. 2025 had developments that cemented Robinhood’s status as a fintech juggernaut.

Exactly seven months from launching the Robotaxi service in Austin to officially offering Unsupervised rides to customers. This is the timeline to beat for launches in each new city. To the skeptics - you're on the clock to move the goalposts again. Huge validation moment $TSLA

Jesus Wasn't Woke. Jesus Wasn't a Socialist.
If you actually read the Bible for understanding instead of cherry-picking verses for political bumper stickers, you'd realize Scripture is fundamentally ANTI-SOCIALIST. But that would require cracking open the book instead of just weaponizing it on social media, and I know that's asking a lot from folks who think "Love your neighbor" means "Vote to spend your neighbor's money."
THE RICH YOUNG RULER (Matthew 19:16-26)
Progressive Christians love this one. Jesus told the rich man to sell HIS possessions and give to the poor HIMSELF. Not "lobby Caesar for wealth redistribution programs." Not "vote for politicians promising free stuff funded by other people's labor."
And here's what fries the woke crowd's circuits: when the man refused, JESUS LET HIM WALK AWAY. No government mandate. No forced redistribution. No safety net. Jesus understood not everyone enters the narrow gate, and He wasn't about to create a bureaucracy to drag them through it.
The disciples asked, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus said with GOD all things are possible. Notice He didn't say "with government programs all things are possible."
WORK ETHIC, NOT HANDOUTS
2 Thessalonians 3:10 - "If anyone is NOT WILLING to work, let him not eat." Paul wasn't talking about the disabled. He specifically said "NOT WILLING" - able-bodied freeloaders.
1 Timothy 5:8 - Anyone who doesn't provide for his household "has denied the faith and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER." That's Scripture calling out people who expect others to carry their weight.
Proverbs 10:4 - "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 6:6-11 - Go learn from the ANT, you sluggard.
VOLUNTARY CHARITY vs GOVERNMENT THEFT
2 Corinthians 9:7 - "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, NOT RELUCTANTLY OR UNDER COMPULSION, for God loves a cheerful giver."
NOT UNDER COMPULSION. Taxation for redistribution IS compulsion by definition. When government takes your money at gunpoint and gives it to someone else, that's not charity - that's coercion with extra steps.
The gleaning laws (Leviticus 19:9-10) left some harvest for the poor, but THE POOR HAD TO WORK FOR IT. They gathered it themselves. Dignity through labor, not dependency.
THE EARLY CHURCH WASN'T COMMUNIST
Socialists love Acts 2 and 4. But Acts 5:4 - Peter told Ananias the property was "yours to do with as you wished." VOLUNTARY. Church-based, not government-enforced. You can't share what you don't own.
JESUS HEALED PEOPLE SO THEY COULD WORK
Jesus didn't hand out money to beggars. He HEALED them so they could make their own living. The blind received sight. The lame received working legs. The demon-possessed received sound minds. Jesus restored people to PRODUCTIVITY, not dependency.
The feeding of the 5,000 wasn't welfare - it was a demonstration to His disciples. And when the crowd came back for more free food (John 6), Jesus REBUKED THEM: "You seek me because you ate your fill." He refused to become their welfare provider.
BORDERS ARE BIBLICAL
Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem's walls with GATES that CLOSED at night. There were GUARDS. There was a SELECTION PROCESS.
Acts 17:26 - God "marked out their appointed times and the BOUNDARIES of their lands." National boundaries are divinely established.
Leviticus 24:22 - The foreigner had to FOLLOW THE LAW. Sound familiar?
PRIVATE PROPERTY IS BIBLICAL
Exodus 20:15 - "You shall not steal." Assumes people OWN things. Exodus 20:17 - "Do not covet your neighbor's house." HIS property, not the collective's. Matthew 20:15 - "Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me?"
GOVERNMENT'S LIMITED ROLE
Romans 13 describes government punishing evil - NOT redistributing wealth or running healthcare.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 WARNS about rulers who "take the best of your fields." That's OPPRESSION, not progress. God literally warned Israel this would happen.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
By global standards, nearly every American is the rich young ruler. You have smartphones, climate control, and refrigerators that ancient kings couldn't imagine.
If you're demanding government programs funded by OTHER PEOPLE'S money while living comfortably yourself, you're the rich young ruler walking away - except you're demanding Caesar force others to give what you won't sacrifice yourself.
Jesus called for PERSONAL transformation and VOLUNTARY generosity from changed hearts. Socialism demands GOVERNMENT control and FORCED redistribution.
These are fundamentally incompatible. Pick one.
But what do I know? I'm just someone who reads Scripture in context instead of weaponizing isolated verses while ignoring everything that contradicts my predetermined political agenda.
