Jeffery Epstein is the talk of the town yet again…
By now we know most of the sordid details involving the most famous sex offender in recent memory. Presidents of both parties, royalty on both sides of the pond and the global financial elite have all been accused of stopping by Epstein's lascivious island on more than one occasion.
But the story gets even more interesting when you dig into Epstein’s right hand lady – Ghislaine Maxwell.
Did you know that her father Robert Maxwell “adopted” a dog named Barry with a distinctive pedigree? While serving in World War II, Maxwell had taken Barry from the same Berlin kennel that had bred perhaps the most infamous dog in history – Hitler’s prized German Shepard Blondi.
Where did I learn that?
On a podcast.
Did you know that Robert Maxwell named his yacht Lady Ghislaine after his daughter?
Where did I learn that?
On a podcast.
And the fact that Maxwell was facing default on £50 million in loans, escaped to the Canary Islands on the Lady Ghislaine and was found dead without any notable injuries?
Where did I learn that?
On a podcast.
In fact when you speak with most people these days you often won’t hear interesting tidbits that they caught on television, the newspaper or even a website. They simply say “I heard it on a podcast.”
The format has gone absolutely insane over the past few years. In 2006 only around 20 percent of the adult population in the United States was aware of podcasting, but now 85 percent of the population are quite familiar with them. Today close to 160 million Americans consume podcasts every month. That's just in America. Just check out the worldwide numbers:
All those ears are adding up to some serious dough. According to research firm Owl & Co., the global podcast industry generated $7.3 billion in sales last year. That’s almost double what previous estimates pegged the industry for.
Today you can find an in-depth podcast on every single topic known to man: sports, history, crime, comedy, politics, self help, medicine. You name it, and you can listen to hours of it.
But for our purposes as an investment newsletter I have a crucial podcast that you need to subscribe to if you care about your wealth. It’s called Investing in Bizarro World.
Our very own Nick Hodge and Gerardo Del Real host the Bizzaro World weekly podcast that they call their “weekly therapy session”. As the name suggests, in each episode the duo shares exactly how to capitalize on all the craziness and have the chance to make money hand over fist, because one thing is for sure: there is always money to be made – and the more bizarre things seem to be in the markets, the more profit opportunities there are. Since 2019, they have been able to capitalize on all the chaos and uncertainty that drove various sectors of the market upwards with dozens of investments that allowed us to rack up between 100% to over 1,000% gains during that same time.
It’s the one podcast out there that puts its money where its mouth is.
Nick and Gerardo spell out everything that’s happened in the markets, cover the companies they’re investing in and add a hilarious flair to the news and political landscapes. Perhaps most valuable is the fact that Nick and Gerardo give you active stock tips – from all of Digest Publishing’s portfolios – with ticker symbols.
They also invite special guests to join them in the insanity – which is why today is the perfect time to join them. Yesterday they hosted famed internet intellectual Rudy Havenstein. I’ve followed Rudy for years, so it was a treat to watch him interact with Nick and Gerardo.
The group covers many bases over the course of just one hour. From the aforementioned Epstein saga to government financial crimes to phony housing prices to owning gold. It’s a thrilling episode and a perfect introduction to Bizarro World.
I implore you to watch that episode and the complete archives right here:
Godspeed,
