Do you trust the stock market?
Long-term, sure I do. But short-term, no way.
The Nasdaq just closed in bear-market territory for the first time since 2022. It’s down more than 20% from its record high in December.
And the S&P 500 has fallen 17.4% since setting an all-time high on February 19.
Even worse, tariff turmoil is leading many analysts and economists to predict more downward pressure and volatility, maybe even a recession.
If you’re looking for the potential to make big returns — 10x or more — where can you turn?
Today I’ll show you exactly where.
When Stocks Zig, Find Investments that Zag
Traditionally, when investors get worried about stocks, they shift money into bonds.
But bonds are a terrible investment right now.
Rates are relatively low on the long end of the curve, and inflation is a significant risk.
But a different investment can provide an excellent alternative. Not only is it uncorrelated to the stock market (so when the market zigs, this investment can zag)…
But it also provides potential profits that can crush the stock market.
Here’s the Secret...
If you’re a regular reader of Crowdability, you know that startup investing — also called private equity — has historically trounced the stock market.
According to Cambridge Associates, an investment firm with clients like Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation, over the last 25 years, early-stage private equity has generated average annual returns of about 55% per year. That includes the winners and the losers.
55% is nearly 10x higher than the stock market average. At 55%, in 10 years, an investment of $10,000 would turn into more than $800,000.
For nearly 100 years, investors like you were prohibited from startup investing. Only the wealthy could take advantage of it. But the laws recently changed. Now anyone can invest.
And a new type of website makes investing in startups incredibly straightforward.
Today there are dozens of these websites. They’re called funding platforms, and they include Republic, WeFunder, and StartEngine.
Obviously, not every startup investment is going to be a winner. That’s why building a diversified portfolio of them over time is so important.
But today, I thought I’d share a few winners that were featured on a funding platform called SeedInvest.
A Few of SeedInvest’s “Winners”
SeedInvest was one of the original funding platforms. It was successful, and ultimately it was acquired by its competitor, StartEngine.
Here are a few of the winning investments it offered to investors like you.
Heliogen: Heliogen (NYSE: HLGN) is a renewable energy-tech company. When it went public at a valuation of $2 billion, its early SeedInvest investors earned a potential profit of 99x. That’s enough to turn $1,000 into $100,000.
Knightscope: Knightscope (Nasdaq: KSCP) is a security and robotics company. Its IPO gave SeedInvest investors a potential profit north of 50%.
Trust Stamp: Trust Stamp focuses on biometrics. Its IPO (Nasdaq: IDAI) gave its SeedInvest investors a potential profit approaching 100%.
Make 99x Your Money… Without Touching Stocks
