Every asset you own is a vote on what the world looks like in 10 years. The problem: Most people are voting without realizing it. If you want to build wealth, you MUST be intentional.

Looks like cash wasn’t as safe as they said it was…

15 terms every investor MUST know for the next 10 years: 1: Stablecoin A digital token pegged to a currency, almost always the US dollar. Stablecoins handled $482B in payments in the first 9 months of 2026. 2: Tokenization Putting ownership of a real asset on a blockchain, like a Treasury bill, a building, or a fund. That ownership can then trade 24/7. 3: Self-custody Holding your assets yourself, with no bank or exchange in between. If you lose your private key, the money is gone for good. 4: Smart contract Code that executes an agreement on its own. Think of a vending machine for lending, borrowing, and trading. 5: DeFi Banking services with no bank. You get the services directly, and the protections that came with a bank become your responsibility. 6: Spot ETF A fund that holds the real asset and trades like a stock. Spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January 2024, and even pension funds started buying. 7: Halving The event, roughly every four years, that cuts Bitcoin’s new supply in half. For a decade, it drove Bitcoin’s boom-and-bust cycle. 8: Risk-free rate The yield on various US Treasuries. Every other investment has to beat it to be worth the risk. 9: Liquidity The total amount of money in the financial system. When it rises, most assets tend to rise with it. 10: Debasement A currency losing value as more of it gets printed. It’s one of the main reasons central banks keep buying gold. 11: Yield curve Interest rates lined up from short-term loans to long-term loans. When it inverts, the bond market is signaling stress. 12: Agentic AI AI that carries out multi-step tasks on its own (instead of only answering questions). 13: Compute The raw processing power AI runs on. Training and running models now depend as much on electricity as on chips. 14: Chokepoint A layer every competitor has to pay to use, like chips, power, or the grid. It gets paid no matter who ends up winning. 15: Pre-IPO Owning shares before a company lists publicly. More and more of a company’s growth now happens before ordinary investors can buy in. What would you add?

In this recorded statement, Jerome Powell argues for monetary policy independent of political pressure. The on-screen gold price prediction is added commentary, not a forecast Powell makes.

Bitcoin had 4 losing years between 2014 and 2025. $1,000 at the end of 2013 still turned into about $116,000.

What stands out to you most about every major market crash in history?

The AI boom consists of 5 layers: 1. Chips 2. Cloud + power 3. Foundation models 4. Orchestration + tools 5. Apps people actually use The chips and infrastructure get paid no matter who wins. Apps that are thin wrappers on someone else’s model are the weakest spot in the stack. Remember that as you build out the AI portion of your portfolio.

In this interview, Stanley Druckenmiller explains the reasoning behind positions in currencies, overseas stocks, copper and gold. Each rests on a different view of valuation, supply or geopolitical risk.

A bank pays you 0.38% on your savings. Then it lends that same money out at 6-7%. So what’s stopping you from doing the same?

Gold just had its best year since 1979. Here’s where it closed each year since 2000 (per ounce): • 2000: $274 • 2001: $277 • 2002: $347 • 2003: $416 • 2004: $436 • 2005: $513 • 2006: $632 • 2007: $834 • 2008: $870 • 2009: $1,088 • 2010: $1,406 • 2011: $1,531 • 2012: $1,658 • 2013: $1,205 • 2014: $1,206 • 2015: $1,060 • 2016: $1,146 • 2017: $1,291 • 2018: $1,279 • 2019: $1,515 • 2020: $1,888 • 2021: $1,806 • 2022: $1,814 • 2023: $2,078 • 2024: $2,609 • 2025: $4,368 Roughly 16x in 25 years. But anyone who bought at the end of 2012 waited until 2020 just to break even. Gold (traditionally) pays no interest, dividends, or earnings… Exactly why proper portfolio construction is so important.

Stanley Druckenmiller argues that a trading signal can lose value as more people use it. He reflects on chart analysis and the clues he once found when strong news failed to move a stock.

$10,000 invested at the close on Black Monday, 1987, is now worth about $340,000. The worst day in market history ended up being one of the best days to buy.

Ken Griffin questions the promises used to justify AI spending. In this interview, he contrasts useful applications with polished output that breaks down when someone checks the substance.

Charlie Munger describes the emotional demands of owning stocks through severe declines. His focus is the ability to withstand volatility without letting the price move dictate the response.

Bruce Johnstone argues that different results require taking a different position from the crowd. His point invites a second question: what risk is being taken, and what happens if it goes wrong?
