Do you realize the price of oil has risen 33.7% since June of this year? How do we beat inflation when oil is this strong? We could increase production of oil here in the USA, we, the USA, has plenty of oil & gas. The choice of Fed Chair J. Powell is to increase unemployment instead. This was stated in a recent Powell media comment. Stagflation is the result.

The article below accuses BlackRock of pushing the price of Bitcoin lower in a process of accumulation shares prior to a Bitcoin ETF approval. We find the claim credible and even normal process of large players when accumulating shares of an illiquid investment. There is nothing illegal in this. It is even normal procedure in the markets. Lets say I a Big Investor and want to accumulate a position in illiquid stock. I would call my broker/ market maker and place the order. The broker/market maker would check the street for other bids and offers. This is a pretty close group who is talking and dealing with each other frequently. One or more of these market makers might pull their normal bid from the group. This removes some support from the position. This pulling of the bid allows a vacuum to form in which the share price falls allowing the price to drift or fall lower. In the old days a well-known market journalist would write a negative article for pay to “help” the share price fall. This is called “Yellow Journalism”. This journalist was fined for such writing and though not often enforced, is illegal. Continue reading →

By this title, LOTM is saying that the SEC never intended to stop Blockchain or crypto movement but rather is throwing up road blocks to allow the Traditional Financial (TradFi) industry time to try and catch up.

To allow a Futures ETF in Bitcoin (leveraged) while saying a cash owned “Spot” Bitcoin ETF is dangerous to the public is the height of misinformation, outright lying, and hypocrisy. The courts recognized this and said exactly that in siding with Grayscale. Now the SEC could still not approve a Spot Bitcoin ETF. That is its right. But lets be clear on why – it is not to protect the public. Continue reading →

I’m more comfortable being long bitcoin today more than 6 months ago:

Galaxy Digital CEO Novogratz – six minute Video. 7/20/23

Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, I put them all in the same basket. Mike Novogratz, paraphrased from above interview.

Bitcoin one-year chart:

“Instead of investing in gold as a hedge against inflation … or the devaluation of your currency … [bitcoin] can represent an asset that people can play as an alternative,” Fink stated. The description reinforces the perception of bitcoin as a store of value, akin to the role gold has traditionally played in investment portfolios. Continue reading →

LOTM Has been vocal on the Fintech Industry as benefiting from change coming due to Blockchain technology. Blockchain is changing how money transfers are made. This is a distinct challenge and risk to TradFi (traditional Finance). The short version is Blockchain is very secure way to transfer currency and documents (read title companies) that eliminates the middle men – TradFi. It is estimated that the global revenue generated by TradFi industry is $7 Trillion (source Morgan Creek Capital’s Mark Yusko) a year globally. Therefore, it is very clear why the Banking, Insurance, finance and title companies don’t want Crypto and Blockchain to progress or progress rapidly.

Favorite names to LOTM in no particular order, the symbols COIN, SHOP, STNE, PAGS, SQ, MQ and GLBE. Do your own due diligence from the list below. Long time readers know where we stand on this list. Some of these names have doubled or more from their two year-low price. We suggest that if interested in this group, you buy a package of five stocks or more, equal dollars invested in each name. Dollar cost average in the same way with three to four group purchases over your allocated time-line for buying. Once you are fully invested, use a trailing stop loss on the entire package at your predetermined percent loss. 10% or 15% are common stops. Your risk tolerance might be less or more than these common stop-loss numbers. Continue reading →
