recipes for healthy food: Buy This, Sell That

If I could make only one investment in 2026…

This would be it.

In fact, I'm so confident that I've put over $5 million of my own money into this strategy.

I already shared this with some of my readers…

And they've reported some incredible success.

One guy made $67,000 in a year.

Another made $200,000 in a year…

And another one said he made "about half a million this year."

What exactly are these people doing?

Let me show you…

Why Most Investors Are Destined to Fail

Wall Street has a dirty secret it doesn't want you to know. It doesn't make its greatest profits from being right. It makes most of its money by ensuring you're confused.

Why does Wall Street want you in an emotional fog? It's not because they're inherently "evil." It's because their paychecks depend on it.

The great banking houses (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley) and the massive brokerage firms aren't in the business of making you wealthy. They're in the business of collecting assets under management and driving transaction volume.

In 2025, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley generated 59% of their profits from asset management and trading fees alone.

That's why they're incentivized to keep you in a state of perpetual motion. If you buy a great asset like bitcoin or Tesla and hold it for 20 years (more on this in a moment), they only get to charge you a fee once. That's a disaster for their quarterly earnings.

The "Shakeout" Strategy

I'm sure there are many brokers telling their clients to churn out of bitcoin… Take the tax loss… And rush into something else.

And who can blame them? Bitcoin's performance of late has been terrible, but not unprecedented.

Right now, bitcoin and the entire crypto ecosystem are going through a fairly typical bear market. These happen every four years like clockwork. They aren't new. Neither is bitcoin's current underperformance.

Let me explain…

If you had the bad luck of buying BTC at its peak of $69,000 in 2021, you'd be flat today. Over that five-year span, the S&P 500 and gold are up 48% and 169%, respectively.

So it's no wonder people are saying bitcoin has "failed." That's the lazy take.

Here are the more nuanced facts: There have been many times when bitcoin has horribly underperformed the broad market.

For instance, from the $1,127 peak in 2013 to April 2017, bitcoin dropped as much as 90% before it came back to even.

Had you been unlucky enough to buy the 2013 peak, you'd have watched just about every other asset outperform you. The S&P 500 was up 12% and the average Big Tech name was up 18%.

Yet, by the end of 2017, you were up as much as 1,675% (that's almost 17x your money) from your 2013 bitcoin entry. That means you were paid an average compound annual return of 105%.

Meanwhile, investors in the S&P 500 and Big Tech saw compound annual returns of 10.4% and 15.9%, respectively.

The same thing happened from December 2017 to December 2022.

Over that five-year period, bitcoin was down 17% – from a 2017 peak of $20,000 to $16,634. By comparison, the S&P 500 was up 55%.

For a moment, let's forget BTC had been as high as $69,000 in 2021. And let's assume you didn't take any profits. By October 2026, bitcoin had reached $126,000, giving you another shot to double your money.

So even with terrible timing and not taking profits the first go-around, your compound annual growth rate from the 2017 peak to the October 2026 peak was 22.7%. By comparison, the S&P 500 saw a compound annual growth rate of just 11%.

During these periods of underperformance, the headlines were full of stories about how useless bitcoin was and how it was destined to go to zero. We're seeing the same recycled headlines now.

What they conveniently leave out is this: When the tide turns, bitcoin is among the most explosive assets on the planet. From the depths of the last three bear markets, it went on to skyrocket as high as 717%, 1,822%, and 18,100%.

The altcoins can do even better. They delivered gains as high as 4,538% and 1,482,713% during the 2021 and 2017 bull markets.

I believe we'll see that cycle of underperformance, followed by explosive outperformance, repeat again this time.

Between now and then, you might be upset with me or even yourself. You might feel like a fool for investing in this asset class.

You're allowed to experience those emotions. It's human nature. But don't let it push you to do anything stupid, like selling your assets at the wrong time.

Let me show you why with an example of another asset I recommended that put investors on a similar ride as wild as bitcoin…

Same Movie, Different Character

Imagine it's 2011 and someone recommends you buy a certain asset at $7.

They tell you that if you hold it for 15 years, you'll make 433x your money – turning every $10,000 into $4.3 million.

That sounds like a no-brainer, until they tell you the catch:

"You'll lose 50% on paper – multiple times."
"It'll do nothing for three years straight."
"People will call you crazy for owning it."
"You'll question everything."

You'd hesitate. Most people would.

The asset I'm talking about is Tesla (TSLA). And everything I told you happened.

From 2010 to 2012, Tesla barely budged, trading between a split-adjusted $1 and $3 for two long years.

I bet a lot of investors who got into Tesla's IPO called it quits during those years. But even if you held the stock through that volatility, you wouldn't be out of the woods yet.

Look at this Tesla chart from 2013-2016. We see a huge move higher at the start. But then it goes through years of sideways action.

Shares ran as high as $19 (split-adjusted) and dropped to as low as $9.

Now imagine if you were a Tesla investor back then. Everybody's calling you an idiot. They're saying Elon Musk is a dreamer; he can't make any money.

But if you believed in his vision that electric vehicles (EVs) were the future, you were willing to deal with those ups and downs before Tesla broke out.

And that's exactly what happened…

In 2019, I recommended Tesla to a group of high-net-worth individuals at a conference in Carlsbad, California. It was trading around a split-adjusted price around $16-and-change per share.

It promptly collapsed 10% after I recommended it… before skyrocketing as high as $410 by November 2021.

Zooming out, Tesla has traded as high as $490 since its IPO. That's a nearly 43,263% gain – enough to turn every $10,000 into $4.3 million. It would take you 64 years to see that kind of return from the S&P 500.

When you pull back the camera, those 10 years of volatility before 2020 look like mere blips on the radar.

Look, I get it. Ten years seems like an eternity when you're waiting for a return on your money – no matter how powerful the moneymaking idea is.

But as investors, we have to put things in perspective.

If you held Tesla from 2014 until its peak in December 2025, you compounded your money at an average annual rate of 46% per year. Over the same time, the S&P 500's annual compound average rate was 12.3%.

That's the difference between turning $10,000 into $4,336,283 instead of $64,493. One investment barely covers your rent in retirement. The other gives you financial freedom.

So Why Is Bitcoin Getting Roughed Up Right Now?

To be clear, bitcoin is facing some headwinds. Last week, I wrote about The "Secret War" Punishing Bitcoin. You can read it right here.

There's another drag on bitcoin's price I want to address today. Right now, investors are pricing bitcoin like a high-growth software company that has zero cash flows – exactly how they treated Tesla in its early growth phase.

Since the beginning of the year, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) is down 24%. It's no coincidence bitcoin is trending the same.

Software companies are getting hammered because investors think AI will disintermediate them. That's because AI can write code faster, cheaper, and better than human developers ever could.

Bitcoin runs on code, too. So in the short term, traders lump it into the same bucket and price it like a software stock.

I believe that's a misclassification.

Bitcoin isn't a software company. It's a decentralized monetary network. It doesn't get "disrupted" by better code the way a traditional software firm might.

Thousands of crypto projects have tried to dethrone bitcoin over the past decade, from Bitcoin Cash to Dogecoin. None have succeeded. I don't believe any will.

The newest cohort of bitcoin investors doesn't have that historical perspective. They're operating under misguided assumptions long-term holders like us worked through a decade ago… And that disconnect is exactly what creates opportunity.

Friends, this is the same cycle we've seen since bitcoin's early days: A new wave of investors rushes in with excitement… but they quickly lose their conviction. They sell at ridiculously low prices because they don't understand what they own.

They're handing over their future on a silver platter – just like folks have been doing since the earliest days of bitcoin's existence.

When the world finally awakens to the reality that bitcoin is the soundest money ever created, its value will at a minimum match that of gold. That would put the price per bitcoin at around $1.5 million.

It won't happen overnight, and it won't happen in a straight line.

But if you have the discipline to stay patient, this bear market – like all the others we have been through – will pass. And when it does, bitcoin's outperformance will shock you.

Let the Game Come to You!

P.S. While we wait for this latest bear market in crypto to play out, I'm seeing opportunity in another sector: artificial intelligence (AI).

But I don't believe the biggest gains will come from popular names like Nvidia, AMD, and Meta. Instead, the real gains will come from blue-chip companies leveraging AI technology to boost productivity, cut costs, and increase shareholder profits.

These companies pay out reliable dividends year after year… And give you plenty of dry powder to use on asymmetric bets when crypto comes soaring back.

I put all the details in my new report called "Nvidia's $16 Trillion Paycheck Program." And it doesn't involve buying a single share of Nvidia or any other high-flying AI stock.

The next scheduled payout is April 8. Learn more about it here before that deadline.
