The Market Doesn’t Care About Venezuela – Should You?

I’m an investor, not a social commentator. Many folks in my business forget that.

Just because some guy made a whole pile of money in financial markets doesn’t make him an expert on telling you how to think about what’s going on in the world outside of finance.

This is the reason why I never get political in my writings. My work is for everyone. Regardless of your personal beliefs, there’s one thing that unites us… We all want a brighter financial future for ourselves and our families.

That’s something I can help you with.

Whether the forced removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was right or wrong? I’m sorry, you are on your own with that one.

Those of you who recently joined me at my newest publication, The Asymmetric Edge, know that I’m extremely bullish on oil stocks. Even before Maduro’s capture, a handful of oil stocks had been making new highs even though crude prices were having their worst year since 2020.

When a commodity is down 20% in a year, but its biggest producers are making new highs… you want to pay attention to that type of disconnect. The stock market is telling you something. Massive bets are being made on higher oil stock prices regardless of the current weakness in crude oil.

To ignore that kind of message from the market would be a huge financial mistake.

Since late 2025, I’ve been telling you there is a handoff in the market from overvalued AI Builders to undervalued AI Adopters.

I launched The Asymmetric Edge to put my readers in a position to profit from this next wave of AI adoption that will power the next cohort of AI millionaires.

Since launching The Asymmetric Edge last month, the average big-cap AI stock has dropped about 4%. Meanwhile, our handful of carefully curated AI Adopters have been up as much as 9%.

If you are hoping Palantir, Nvidia, and Mag 7 stocks are going to move the needle on your net worth – please think again.

They have had their life-changing moves already. The time to buy them was 5-10 years ago. That’s when I recommended Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, and a slew of other big tech names.

The game has moved on... And if you don’t move on with it, you could be doomed to a decade or more of underperformance.

2026 and beyond belongs to the AI Adopters. The companies that will use AI to drive massive cost savings across their sprawling, inefficient global empires.

Venezuelan Oil Won’t Flood the Market Any Time Soon
