I hate being interviewed on TV — I can't stand the media.
Whenever there’s a big opportunity in the market…
All the talking heads seem to miss it.
It’s no different today.
Today, I don’t see anyone else talking about the Ultimate Money Move for 2025.
And that’s precisely what’s given us this historic setup.
While all the pundits continue to spew the same tired talking points…
Trump … trade … tariffs…
They’re missing the real story.
An urgent catalyst that could send a special group of investment sailing higher in the coming days.
You won’t hear about it on television.
Why? Because the media is full of idiots.
Worse, people who don’t know anything about how capital markets really work.
Yesterday I was talking about this book that I wrote in 2008 – that left a lot of people in the media feeling particularly upset.
The book was called The Forever Portfolio.
As you can imagine … as markets were tanking in 2008 …
Nobody wanted to hear about “a portfolio” they should buy and hold forever.
The market was down 50%. Everyone was depressed.
The mainstream media was still screaming SELL from the top of their lungs.
But I was saying BUY.
The book didn’t sell well at all.
And the media harassed me for writing it.
They said I was out of touch … tone deaf … and stupid.
Once again, they were all wrong.
The Forever Portfolio was probably the most important thing that I ever wrote.
Several of the stocks I covered ended up rising 1,000% … 2,500% … and even 10,000%.
I bring this up because I’m worried a lot of people are going to ignore me today as well.
And … they’re going to miss another chance at historic windfalls just like it.
For example…
One of the stocks I wrote about in the book was Google.
In hindsight, Google was an obvious buy.
But at the time, it was down more than 50%!
Still, it was one of my favorite ideas at the time.
I wrote:
“Google dominates search, video, and online advertising, and eventually it will dominate offline advertising. I don’t care what the P/E ratio is. I don’t even care what the actual percentages are that it dominates in each area. Every year for the next fifty years, it will probably go up in each category.”
Fast forward to today…
And Google still controls 90% of the search engine market.
And they’re the biggest player in online advertising – bigger than the next five leaders COMBINED.
The stock was just at an all-time high of 2,308%.
I also talked about Facebook.
Now, at the time, Facebook wasn’t a public company yet.
But I predicted it would go public at a $100 billion valuation…
Which it did…
And that it would continue to dominate social media for years into the future.
Sure enough…
The stock has shot up as high as 1,741% since it went public.
And Facebook alone accounts for 70% of all social media traffic.
I predicted Eli Lilly would be a major force in the healthcare market, as it developed drugs to treat a variety of illnesses in the aging Baby Boomer population.
Today, it’s the most valuable drug company in the world.
The list of gains goes on:
- 2,511% on IDEXX Laboratories
- 3,767% on Mastercard
- 2,314% on Starbucks
- 2,026% on Costco
- 1,086% on VeriSign
- 1,668% on Tucows
- 2,150% on Cigna
- 14,961% on Axon Enterprises
I bring all this up because today I’m seeing another chance at historic gains like the ones I just mentioned.
Recently, uncertainty has reached levels we haven’t seen since 2008.
Investors are looking for direction.
In fact, yesterday I asked…
- Are you excited right now, or scared? Are you eager to buy the dip? Or has the recent freakout spooked you out of the market?
- Have you ever made money in an uncertain market? How did you get the courage to act? And how did it pay off?
(You can still respond to me at TheRealJamesAltucher@gmail.com)
One reader simply responded:
“Scared and no.”
And that’s why today is so important.
There’s an impending catalyst that could send a special group of my favorite stocks sailing higher in the coming days.
In some ways, it’s the best setup I’ve ever seen.
That is what has compelled me to put together a new “Forever Portfolio.”
I’ve found 10 stocks – that hardly anyone knows about – that are quietly emerging as the leaders in their field…
Just like the “Forever Stocks” I identified back in 2008.
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve noticed several high-profile billionaires have been backing these trades.
Including…
Citadel Advisors … Millennium Management … Two Sigma Advisors … Renaissance Technologies … and BlackRock…
Which all just happen to be the best investors in the business.
And yet oddly enough … I don’t see anyone talking about this.
I don’t see them talking about this urgent catalyst set to appear in as little as a few days…
Or these new “forever stocks” that are at a generational pivot point.
That’s why I dropped everything to tell you about this urgent setup.
Tomorrow, I will tell you more about this catalyst that could light a fire under these stocks in the coming days.
And mark your calendar for 2025’s ULTIMATE MONEY MOVE this Thursday at 11am ET. See you then.
