• Preparatory Actions supporting the view that a new monetary system is close to being introduced.
• Three separate interviews suggesting a change of rules is about to happen with the incoming Administration.

LOTM has accepted the position as stated below:

“We believe we are experiencing a once-in-a-generation global shift in the market from fiat money controlled by government central banks to network-based money, more commonly called ‘cryptocurrency,’ with this transition still in the early stages.” Continue reading →

Early in my brokerage career (1977) I literally sat ten feet from a 68-year old broker, who, on news that a company he knew well, declared bankruptcy. He immediately liquidated everything he owned (which amounted to around $4 million dollars) and bought the stock and bonds of the bankrupt company. His logic in doing so was the railroad which he was buying into was a company he knew well and had traded for 30 years. The $3.00 stock and nickel on the dollar priced bonds he bought, had in his estimation, $150 per share in land value. Bankruptcy would free up the land value. Three-years later, his $4 million was many multiples higher. The company did not liquidate but because of the land value, reorganized. The $3.00 stock was trading at $150 per share and the bonds returned to full value and he was owed the back interest on the bonds. As 27 year-old new broker, it made an impression on me. That is how you make money in the market. Know your company. Trade the stock so you are ready for anything! It’s not a perfect world, however. You will still lose money on some deals. But over time … you will do well and occasionally get very “lucky.”

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to us all! It is going to be a wild ride in 2025 so buckle up. Continue reading →

In this LOTM Note:

• Information on what is driving Bitcoin’s Price.
• Why select Miners are being bought and other are being sold short
• What in might meat for other Alt-coins.

I have attached a 16 minute video that describes what is helping drive the price of bitcoin. Of course it is not as simple as price go up. There are games and strategies being put on by large players (Hedge funds) what involve Convertible bonds the shorting to hedge or arbitrage those convertible bonds – who benefits and who is held back by these strategies. Instead of writing it is best to just listen to the sixteen minute video. Speed up the presentation if you are short on time.

Please see this video it you are involved in crypto or Bitcoin miners. It is not all bad or all good. It is important for you to know what is playing Continue reading →

Why Bitcoin, Crypto & Blockchain?

• In the last 13 years, the Bitcoin index (in EUR) had a compound annual growth rate of 103.42%,

Shared in this report are Ten crypto/blockchain ETFs. Each has a different objective and investment profile. Some are passively managed, and some are actively managed. Some are concentrated and focused and some modeled after specific indexes. The focuses cross through blockchain applications, AI data centers, crypto miners and crypto surrogates.

The performance range for the last twelve-months, ranges from a low of plus 54% to a high of plus 123%. Multiple ETFs in this sector were above 100% annual return. This industry is still in its early stage of application and growth. It is volatile so expect wide price moves. One can use a trading strategy or an investment approach. If choosing the investment approach with a long-term capital gain holding period goal, applying dollar-cost averaging for risk management is a way to level the volatility and still capitalize on the above average growth of Crypto and Blockchain.

BRICS Nations To Adopt Bitcoin For Global Trade: VanEck Exec

LOTM: It is hard to know if this is RUMOR or Advanced Intel.

In an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at investment firm VanEck, forecasted a significant shift in global trade dynamics with the potential adoption of Bitcoin by BRICS nations. Sigel’s insights come amid growing fiscal policy concerns in the United States and increasing efforts by emerging economies to circumvent traditional financial systems.

“We think once the election result is finalized, Moody’s is going to downgrade US sovereign debt, and that could be a catalyst for Bitcoin,” Sigel stated. He emphasized BTC’s unique properties, noting, “Bitcoin is a chameleon. It’s hard to predict what it’s correlated with. Because of the 21 million and fixed amount out there, it’s a non-US asset.” Continue reading →

I’d like to talk a bit about “my” description of what is happening in the market and LOTM related accounts.

What we do, is Hunt for Doubles

In broad terms, LOTM looks for stocks that profile as having the probability/possibility to double in price and do so within our desired time frame. Generally, we look for ideas that can double in six months to three-years. If I were perfect, and you know I am not, a double in three years would be 33% simple return if annualized. That’s pretty good.

In the hunt for doubles, we like a long-term capital gain when we sell so we look in the out of favor areas. We don’t mind being early because we want to own it twelve months or longer to get a favorable tax treatment. Continue reading →
