How many days left?
You better get those presents purchased before they turn into gift cards.
If you pony up the $150 for express shipping it might get there in time. But probably not.
These last few days headed into Christmas are crazy.
My inlaws flew in on Sunday night. Last night we rented a cruise boat that took us and a group of friends to see Santa’s house in the North Pole.
It’s really a cruise on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. There’s hot chocolate and cookies for the kids. And booze for the adults.
You even get your own elf that tends to the kids who are running around the boat and helps take pictures of all the families.
After a short cruise, you arrive at “Santa’s House,” which is an elaborate setup complete with Mr. and Mr. Clause and a sleigh that shoots giant flames out of the back.
Santa tells a short story that comes through the speakers on the boat… a carol or two is sung… and then Santa proceeds to read his “nice list” — which happens to be the names of all the children on the boat.
A fireworks show completes the deal… and then you’re on your way back to the dock once you properly tip the elf.
All the kids are absolutely elated. The moms are Bailey’d up and promptly posting pictures.
It’s a small price to pay to win Christmas for a day.
But that’s why we do this, right?
It’s why I watch the sun rise from my office desk every morning.
Because the cost doesn’t matter when all those bright smiles are under the bright lights.
Why do I bring this up?
Because I’ve almost come to take for granted the ability to do things like that for family and friends.
In fact, when my wife reminded me about it earlier this week… I had completely forgotten that I suggested we rent the cruise boat months ago.
Why?
At the risk of bordering on braggadocious, there are two reasons I can identify:
- My head lives a cycle ahead in the market and life, for better or worse. Usually better. Already looking forward to seeing the kids at Disney at Easter.
- I’ve built my portfolio such that a short email to a broker can cover most excursions and unexpected costs — in any market conditions.
It’s the same with Gerardo — who’s been planning holiday excursions of his own. Next month we’ll fly the entire team to Digest Publishing headquarters in Austin for a weekend-long party.
That’s really why we founded our own research firm: to publish the ways we generate and manage our wealth so others can do the same.
Today we held our Smallcap Commodity Supercycle Summit.
We went over why prices are surging for nearly everything and how you can generate serious profits from it.
And Gerardo goes over the trading strategy he used to build his wealth and why it applies perfectly to current market conditions.
You’ll see how I personally used it to turn every $5,000 I invested in one play into over $54,000.
And you’ll get briefed on five companies we own now to position for even higher commodity prices in the years ahead.
The important words in that sentence are “we own”.
As we always tell everyone: We eat our own cooking.
That means we’re investing in the same companies we’re recommending to you.
Some people don’t like that. But we wouldn't have it any other way. It means we have real money on the line, so we have more to lose if we’re wrong.
So check out the event we had today.
It’s how we’ll be paying for the bright smiles of Christmas future.
