Ignore the Noise and Buy With Both Hands

Ignore the Noise and Buy With Both Hands

I once had a loaded gun pulled on me. (Actually, six guns were drawn. I’ll explain more later.)

When you’re looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, all rational thought goes out the window. All you’re thinking is: “How do I survive this?”

I’ve felt this way one other time in my life… When I owned stocks that got crushed lower.

I’m always shocked at how similar those feelings are.

As far as my “lizard” brain is concerned, imminent death and financial ruin are the same.

Of course, they’re not the same… But when market volatility is extreme, my rational brain can stop working.

I think that’s true for most folks.

It’s easy to say: “Buy when there is blood on the streets.” But what do you do when it’s your blood?

And I think that’s why most folks rarely buy on stock market weakness.

The “lizard” brain takes over, and the only thought is “survive.” I saw this same pattern repeat itself when I worked on Wall Street.

I managed retail money across three different decades and would see investors make the same mistake of selling at the absolute worst time.

I can’t blame them.

We’re wired to “overvalue” fear. This works well for most other areas of our lives. But it’s a horrible strategy for making money from financial assets.

To be a consistent winner in the investment game, you need to do the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing.

And that’s exactly what I urged you to do last week. And it is exactly what I am urging you to do again this week.

Just buy. Ignore the noise and just buy. You can buy bitcoin. You can buy Solana. You can buy the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq. You will make money.

I’ll tell you again – right here, right now – this pullback is just another buying opportunity.

How to Harness the Power of Volatility

/s

I’m a proponent of having a long-term stack of bitcoin and a short-term trading stack of bitcoin.

Your long-term stack will position you to profit from bitcoin’s adoption trend. And your short-term trading stack will position you to profit from bitcoin’s inherent volatility.

My readers have had the chance to profit from both strategies…

Since I recommended bitcoin in April 2016, it’s seen peak gains of 25,332%. That’s enough to turn every $1,000 into $254,321.

And as bitcoin transitions to a global reserve asset like gold, we could see it more than 10x by the end of this decade.

While those long-term trends play out, my readers have also had the opportunity to make numerous quick-hit double-digit gains from bitcoin volatility.

The most recent opportunity came last week…

While most people were bailing last week when bitcoin was dropping in price, I told you it was a buying opportunity.

On February 26, I wrote…

I also urged you not to panic-sell because the crypto market is VERY headline driven. That means it is very sensitive to news – especially news coming out of the White House.

Here’s what I wrote…

And that’s exactly how the set-up played out.

On Sunday night, President Trump officially announced a crypto strategic reserve for the United States.

Here’s what he wrote on social media:

Overnight, bitcoin’s price shot up about 12%. And Cardano and Ripple soared 82% and 35%, respectively, on the news.

Now, I know these tokens have pared their gains since Sunday. But that’s the nature of volatility. It’s like a pendulum that cuts both ways.

You can’t have the explosive moves to the upside without the gut-wrenching moves to the downside.

We’ve seen this time and time again…

When bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched in January 2024, bitcoin actually dropped from a high of $49,000 to as low as $38,500. The market totally got it wrong because while they were selling, I was telling my readers to buy, buy, buy.

Just 50 days later, bitcoin hit an all-time new high of $73,700.

We saw a similar scenario play out after the launch of Ethereum ETFs in July 2024.

The market reacted to the launch of the funds with a collective yawn. And the price of ETH actually dropped 35% over the following month to $2,300.

Most investors who saw this price action assumed the worst. But in August 2024, I told my readers that the sell-off in Ethereum was overdone and that it was a buying opportunity.

By early December, Ethereum was trading over $4,000. That was a 76% gain in less than four months.

As long as the adoption narrative behind crypto remains intact – which it clearly is because the President announced the U.S. is adding crypto to America's balance sheet – then these downside moves just build momentum for even greater upside moves.

And that means the long-term trajectory is still to the upside.

Ponder this before you give up on crypto…

Just this week, BlackRock officially added its own iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) to some of the model portfolios it manages.

What does that mean?

BlackRock’s model portfolios are pre-constructed investment strategies created for financial advisors, wealth managers, and institutional clients.

Instead of picking individual investments, these advisors can follow BlackRock’s portfolio blueprints to simplify decision-making for clients.

These portfolios have about $150 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Friends, when BlackRock adds IBIT to a model portfolio, it’s essentially endorsing bitcoin as a legitimate asset – something I’ve been predicting for years.

BlackRock suggests a 1-2% allocation to IBIT within selected model portfolios.

According to a post by the newsletter The Informationist, a 1-2% allocation by BlackRock could equate up to as much as $3 billion of IBIT buying.

Can you see how incredibly bullish this news is for bitcoin adoption?

BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager with over $10 trillion AUM. Where it goes, others will follow.

So what happens when every other asset manager allocates 1-2% of their portfolios to bitcoin? Prices have nowhere to go but up.

But if you’ve been with me for a while – or even if you joined us a month ago – you know it won’t be in a straight line.

Things Are About to Change

Friends, I’m telling you about these volatility trades to let you know that volatility is a necessary ingredient to making outsized returns. I also want to prepare you for more volatility ahead – but also let you know that so are more profits.

Here’s what I mean…

According to Fortune, the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has already helped mint 500,000 millionaires in America.

But I believe the next phase of this boom is NOT going to happen in the stock market.

It’s going to happen in the crypto market.

You see, the convergence of blockchain and AI technology has given birth to a new type of digital asset: AI coins.

And these coins are perfectly positioned for a massive AI event that’s guaranteed to happen on March 18.

On that day, the man who has been called “the Steve Jobs of AI” will take the stage and make an announcement I believe will send shockwaves through the entire AI industry.

Most people will be blindsided by this event. Their “lizard” brains will tell them to stay out of the volatility of the crypto market. And they’ll miss out on what could be the biggest opportunity of the year.

To help prepare as many folks as possible for this event, I’m hosting a special briefing at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12.

It’s called “The Last AI Boom.” You can click here to save your seat for this free event.

During my free briefing, I’ll reveal what’s happening on March 18… And why it will give you the chance to turn a handful of $1,000 investments into an entire nest egg – possibly within the next 12 months.

Now, the biggest gains won’t come from established tokens like bitcoin, Solana, Ripple or Cardano. I believe they will come from a handful of tiny AI coins.

Given the recent volatility in the crypto market, I know that sounds like a crazy claim. A lot of investors are worried about tariffs and a potential trade war.

But none of that has anything to do with crypto.

Friends, I know volatility is never easy to deal with. But the truth is that when it comes to crypto, fortunes are found in times like this.

If you're not willing to get a little dirty and hear the bombs blowing up around you before you start buying, you’re never going to put yourself in a position to make life-changing money.

It may feel more comfortable to just sit tight and wait for the storm to pass. But hear me when I tell you… If you do nothing right now, you could be making the biggest financial mistake of your life.

So click here to join me for my free briefing on Wednesday, March 12 at 8 p.m. ET. 

And let me tell you why everything will change on March 18.

Let the Game Come to You!

P.S. Remember my story about staring down the barrel of a gun?

I had six NYPD cops draw their guns on me on Lexington Avenue in New York City in the early 1990s. It was a matter of mistaken identity. Apparently, I looked a lot like a guy the cops were after.

I think the cops were as scared as I was. We all laughed about it afterwards… But in the moment, it was quite terrifying.
