For decades, financial advisors have pounded the table about the “60/40” portfolio.

The idea was simple:

• If the market was booming, your 60% allocation to stocks could grow your wealth.
• If the market was crashing, your 40% allocation to bonds would help limit your losses and provide income.

What was the #1 most profitable investment of all time?

Was it Warren Buffett’s investment in Coca-Cola in 1987?

Was it picking up shares of Amazon or Netscape in the 90s?

Or was it something more unexpected?

I recently came across a list of the world’s most profitable, documented investments.

When I tell people what I do for a living, I hear things like this:

“The stock market? Boy, that’s a real crap shoot.”

“You invest in startups? I’d rather play the lotto!”

“Sounds like gambling to me.”

Comments like these used to bother me. But not anymore.

Now I…

Last Friday, before I took off for the weekend, my friend Aitio dropped by the office.

He stops by a few times a year just to say hello.

He wasn’t exactly in our neighborhood, which is in downtown Manhattan on the water. But with his 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid…

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…

Late last year, a new world record shook the financial world:

A private startup raised $10 billion.

When most startups go out to raise capital, they raise a million or two. If they’re hot, they might raise five or ten million. A tiny handful raise $100+ million.

But $10 billion?…

The stock market is terrifying right now.

Last month alone, fears about global tariffs and a potential recession erased $4 trillion from the S&P 500.

In times like this, it’s helpful to see what professional investors are doing — and if possible, copy them.

So today, I’ll show you the…

They say you should invest in what you know and love.

“Well,” you might say, “I love to drink. Does that count?”

Beverages as Startup Investments

Beverage products can make great startup investments — especially now, as a wave of M&A is happening. For example:

…

Imagine stumbling across something at home that’s worth a fortune…

An old painting, a vintage necklace, a slab of marble sitting outside.

Well, in the true story you’re about to read, that’s exactly what happened.

A used tablet — in fact, a very used tablet — was recently discovered.

I expect this to be one of the stranger stories you’ve heard about recently.

It’s about a startup that just raised millions from top investors. Now it stands a good shot at beating the odds and becoming successful. But that’s not the strange part…

What’s so strange is how darn…
