🗞 Have Nots & Have Yachts

WHILE YOU POUR THE JOE… ☕️
Not the Best Party

It’s not often that you get a selloff during the last day of the trading year, but when you do, it might be a sign of two things:

1. After a massive rally, people are now starting to sell out and lock in gains for their tax year, opposite to tax loss harvesting as now their overall net income is reported higher. This benefits them when financing new takeovers, properties, or anything else. Likely, there will be a discount environment next year 📉 where this comes in handy.

2. It’s a systemic selloff as rotations and a higher VIX interest starts to come in.

Smart money wants a cheaper market, party’s over guys.

Speaking of opportunities for the new year, let’s get on with today’s email 📧…

THE ONE THING
Not Your Father’s Economy

Markets are closed today, and the year has started, so we’re going to give you the type of personal message newsletter that we did for Christmas.

That one was more about the lessons that 2024 taught me, this one will be a bit different.

This newsletter will be about where we see the world going into 2025, and how we plan to squeeze every drop it has to offer, don’t worry, we’ll be back to stock pitches and macro ideas by Friday. 🫰 

So grab a pen and paper, and let’s get into it:

Everyone is concerned with the whole H-1B Visa situation, and the massive wave of Indians coming in to the United States to work right?

Well, we told you about this in our newsletter pitching the $INDA ETF, as more developed nations will have to outsource everything from tax preparation to CRM management to countries like India.

That’s not a bad thing at all, let’s be realistic: how many Americans want to spend their careers in these high-tech industries? 👀 

The answer is tons, but not in the roles that these sponsored workers are coming in for. Most Americans want to be creators, creating new platforms and software, and innovative technologies. That’s where the nation is headed.

But not everyone can be a leader, and for every successful leader, you’ll need probably 100 great A-players below him or her. So, is the Visa program really that bad?

Create

We recognize this opportunity not just from an investment standpoint, but also from a personal development one. This brings us to our first goal for the year, which is to create and innovate.

Absolutely everyone wants to make $10,000/month in the stock market 💵, the only issue is: There’s a lot of BS out there, a lot of misinformation, and a lot of people making it seem easier than it actually is.

So, we decided to reinvent the industry.

My partner and I set on to create InvestiBrew, and we’re not just stopping at a banger Twitter account and this fantastic newsletter, we’re going further.

More than a financial hub, we want to become a media company, helping people reach the $10,000/month mark without having to navigate the industry's major pitfalls.

By this, I mean we will walk everyone through the process of coming up with professional-level trade ideas so that they can get jobs or gigs by selling these ideas to the right individuals (banks and investors) and earn money while practicing trading and investing.

The point is that the United States is becoming a creator nation, and if you don’t start developing your own personal brand and online presence, you will fall on the wrong side of the have-nots and have yachts. 🚢 

Make a New Character

This is a great tip I got from an entrepreneur in our private investor network, and it works wonders when done right.

Look, I’ve always seen myself as a writer. Writing investment memos and presentations at Goldman Sachs was one of my strengths.

However

In order to leave that version of my life behind, and create the one that comes next, I have to make a new character. This character is more than just a writer, he’s a star.

Sure, a star on video, but also a star in sales and creating business systems and processes.

So whatever character you are right now, think of the character you need to become in order to have the 2025 that you desire.

Delegate

This one I’ve always had trouble with, it’s the perfectionist in me. But at the end of the day, you will have a hard time making more than $100,000/month if you go at it solo.

If you run everything yourself, you will likely be stuck and burnt out at $35,000/month.

So this year I am focusing on what I’m good at, while leaving the rest to people that are good at those things. I’m talking about the technology end of the business, the systems and operations, the people management.

This way, I can focus on what I am truly great at: coming up with ideas, creating them, and putting them out there.

Figure out what you’re great at, double down on it, and delegate the rest. You will go a LOT farther.

Document Your Journey

This one is hard in the beginning, but it’s the one thing I wish I was doing in the beginning.

The second best thing for me is starting now, which I have done by starting our YouTube channel to bring you even more value in different formats. You can be an early subscriber and get notified by the time we start uploading later this month:

With this in mind, I wanted to give our audience an example of someone who is starting in this journey from scratch, and that is my partner Max.

He has gone through the proper training, which I showed him for over a year, and he is now at the level of coming up with ideas and understanding the markets the same way I did when I worked at the banks. 🏦 

But

His online presence was lacking, so I told him to start posting his stuff on LinkedIn, and now his account is kicking out 2,000 views a day ⭐️ and getting reached by recruiters and other bigger players in the financial industry.

Well, there you have it, these are the things we want to double down on this year, and it’ll help with every other vision and mission we have in mind.

We hope that these views, along with the 2024 lessons we gave you a few posts ago, you have the best year so far this 2025.

And on that note, I wish you lots of success, wealth, and happiness to you and your loved ones.

Keep killing it. 🖋️ 

NOW GO AND MAKE IT HAPPEN
Habits, not Results

Most people focus on goals and not processes, on results and not habits, and that is why they always end up giving up halfway through January.

This book is a classic and a pretty popular one in the business space, but it is just as worth mentioning.

Today’s book recommendation 📖 will show you ways to change your habits so that you can achieve anything you want and feel happy and fulfilled throughout the process.

To your success,
