Imagine youโ€™re walking through the wreckage of a dystopian city. An empty financial district. Streets littered with white papers. Forgotten studies about ESG, woke capital, and DEI.

You pass the shuttered storefronts of banks that were supposed to be too big to fail. Net Zero and WEF membership stickers are coming unpeeled, next to signs that read โ€œFDIC Insuredโ€ and โ€œCBDC (Central Bank Digital Currencies) Only.โ€

Itโ€™s a ghost town.

And then thereโ€™s you. My hero in this story. The lone survivor. Standing amidst the carnage while the so-called experts are gone away. They failed to survive the apocalypse of their own creation.

And then I wake up. Sitting here talking with you. Wondering if that could ever happen.

Sitting in my office. An old brick building. A former bank, I wonder why investors get caught up in the vortex of it all. I sit in my hypothetical cave far, far away from it all. Away from the noise. On a tree-lined street in beautiful Newport, RI, with no one outside even knowing Iโ€™m here. Thereโ€™s no storefront. Thereโ€™s no signage. No stickers. Itโ€™s perfect.

One day, walking out the front gate, a passerby stopped in his tracks and said, โ€œBeautiful building. What goes on in there?โ€

โ€œThank you,โ€ I responded. โ€œResearch.โ€ And we went our separate ways.

Action Line: When youโ€™re ready, come see me in Newport to talk โ€œresearch.โ€
