Ep274: Checking In On Crypto Stocks
These things have moved, and what's great about it is despite the moves, you can still get in very early. The only difference is how there is a lot less doubt in the market when it comes to these things, and soon IMO they will take off and never look back. We revisit the stocks mentioned in the...

Ep273: Gold, Silver, BTC, ETH Should Have Crashed...
...but they all went UP this week, on some of the worst news they could have possibly gotten. How and why did this happen? Some of the news this week was almost like a soap opera.

Ep272: 4 Ways To Survive
It's rough out there, and it's going to get worse. And I have really bad news: You cannot invest your way out of it. Changes have to be made, and made right now. But once you do them, you can not only make your way out of this mess, but have a lot more money TO invest in the things we love here…

-
Ep268: Okay Fine, 3 Covered Call ETFs
These things pay like crazy, but do carry extra risk. The real question is, what would happen if said risk was taken down by a lot? Then you would mostly just get to enjoy the ridiculous dividend yields they pay you. Is the juice worth the squeeze? At these prices they are. Don't miss this. The...

-
Ep265: On Privacy, Part 1
Privacy is one of those things that doesn't matter, until it really matters. But do most people approach privacy the wrong way? Are they really protecting themselves the way they think they are? Could they even be doing more harm than good? There are lots of different people we need to protect...

-
Ep253: You're Paying Way Too Much

-
Ep251: Our 5 Best Phrases
Do not sleep on this episode. It looks like a novelty episode at first glance, but it is anything but. Why do we say the things we say on this show? Why do we repeat them so often? There are very clear psychological reasons behind all of them, and if you don't know them or don't understand them,...
-
Ep250: The BASE Ecosystem

-
Ep248: If $200 Oil
It sounds insane, and it might very well be, but if it was ever going to happen, now would be the time. So it never hurts to have a game plan in place because price spikes happen VERY QUICKLY, so this could be a generational opportunity in many ways, and you need to have a plan in place. VP goes...
-
Ep247: Navigating 2 Outcomes

Ep241: What Just Happened, and What I Bought
We just experienced one of the most ridiculous price drops in history this past week. It would be criminal not to break it all down, so we will in the first half of Episode 241, then talk about a stock I bought earlier in the week, and why I did it. There is a pretty wild bonus to be had with…

-
Ep235: Checking In On Cardano
Real ones only for this episode. I've been a Cardano (ADA) holder for about 5 years now, and we haven't discussed it on its own in a while. It's time we did. People don't think it has grown much or become very relevant in the overall blockchain landscape. If they only knew the truth...…
more -
Ep234: Index Funds? Really??
There's a reason why only 1% of money managers can beat the S&P 500 every year. And the reason is probably not what you expect. Truth is, these things are valuable, and not only should we be grateful they exist, but we should be setting ourselves up to benefit from them for the next three decades...
-
Ep233: The Next Big Bank
How would you like to get in early to the future of BANKING at an early stage? This opportunity wasn't available to our parents, grandparents, or even our great-grandparents, but not only is it available to us -- it's on sale! I think if more people knew what Coinbase actually does and where it...

more -
Ep231: The Sickest Value Out There Right Now
Spoiler Alert: It's Bitcoin Treasury Companies. If you're laughing, just know it's the Big Banks who are making you laugh, this is not good. If you invest in these at depressed prices and you lose, you lose, so what? If you win, you just invested in the next BlackRock at a penny on the dollar. VP...
-
Ep230: Mega-Bullish Bitcoin
2025 will go down as the biggest year in Bitcoin's history since its inception. "But how can this be? Price has basically broken even!!" It's because you don't look at things the right way. I will explain. You're going to want to hear this, even if you were already aware. Recommended Crypto…
more -
Ep229: So.....Recession??
The crypto market took a dump this week, and it got a lot of people talking about an impending recession in the overall markets. Does this make any sense? Is there any point in even talking about it? In Episode 229, we talk about both sides of the argument, and exactly what we should be doing…
more -
Ep228: Being TOO Early
Yes, there is such a thing, and I have done it here on the show before right in front of everybody. It doesn't happen often, but if we can simply identify WHY it happened, we can eliminate the very few losses we do take here on the show, and make even MORE money in the process. Don't miss this…
