This Is the #1 Tech Stock for 2021. | 24 October Posted: 24 Oct 2021 07:30 AM PDT Here's a special message from our partners that we thought you'd like: | | | | Dear Reader, A cutting–edge technology is positioned to go mainstream. It's such a big deal, it's been labeled the "5G Master Key". Tech "Master Keys" are very rare… We've only had three of them over the last 30 years. Each time they emerged, generational wealth could have been created over the long term. In the 1990s, Qualcomm built the "Master Key" to unlock 2G… In 2011, Alcatel Lucent built the "3G Master Key"… And in 2015, Nvidia built the "4G Master Key." Each of these "Master Key" breakthroughs could have led to huge profits. Today the long–awaited "5G Master Key" is here. And it will likely be the #1 tech story for 2021. With the potential to show you substantial gains. | | | | Sincerely, Dave Forest Senior Analyst, Strategic Investor | | | | | |

My husband, Marc, has something to say Posted: 24 Oct 2021 07:01 AM PDT A note from the Editor: We are dedicated to provide readers like you with unique opportunities. The message below from one of our business associates is one we believe you should take a serious look at. My Husband, Marc, Has Something to Say... In 2008, I lost around 50% of my 401(k). I was furious, because I'd entrusted that money – the bulk of my life savings working as a director at L'Oréal – to a money manager. My husband, Marc, saw how upset I was, and created a new investment system to help me make it all back. Since then, I've made 3 times my money overall. In fact, in about a year, I made 7 times my money on one stock alone, just by logging into the website my husband created to help everyday folks like me get "revenge" against Wall Street. As you can imagine, I've told hundreds of people about the system. At first, many people find it hard to believe you can type any of 4,000 different tickers into an online system to see exactly which stocks could make you the most money. But once they try it out... they're hooked! That's why I'm offering you a chance to claim free access to it right here. Marc (who spent 50 years on Wall Street) charged his former clients $5,000 a month to access the system... But today, I'm asking Marc to make an exception. Click here to learn more. Best regards, and enjoy! Sandy Chaikin Roxbury, Connecticut P.S. Here I am with Marc in Lake Tahoe... Trading involves risk. The information provided is NOT trading advice.

Look what Dr. Ron Paul is predicting now Posted: 24 Oct 2021 07:01 AM PDT Editor's Note: Occasionally, an opportunity comes to our attention that we believe readers like you will find valuable. The message below from one of our partners is one we believe you should take a close look at. Big New Prediction From Dr. Ron Paul Few believed Dr. Ron Paul when he took the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives years ago and outlined a series of predictions for the years to come... - Dr. Paul predicted that Americans would become less free and "more dependent on the government for economic security."
- He predicted that, "Agitation for more class warfare will succeed in dividing us domestically."
- He predicted the "erosion of civil liberties here at home as our government continues to respond to political fear."
- And Dr. Paul also predicted that government would grow to record levels, satisfying both left and right as liberals would look to expand the welfare state and conservatives sought more security spending.
With each of these four predictions, Dr. Paul was exactly right! And now, Dr. Ron Paul (a former 12-term Congressman, Air Force surgeon, and Presidential candidate), has come forward with details of a new prediction... About America's future, and your money. Get the facts for yourself. Take at least a few minutes to hear Dr. Paul's critical analysis, and more importantly, the details on the steps you can take to protect and prepare. We've posted Dr. Paul's latest piece on our website – you can view it free of charge, right here. Regards, Mike Palmer Managing Partner, Stansberry Research Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 P.S. One of the fascinating ideas Dr. Ron Paul will introduce you to is a way to essentially "opt out" of America's bankrupt and increasingly socialist future. This is a really powerful and potentially lucrative idea. Check it out here... Trading involves risk. The information provided is NOT trading advice.

Analysts are predicting a robust October - how to be on the winning side Posted: 24 Oct 2021 06:46 AM PDT Hey Investor, Here's a truth about the markets that you MUST know in order to be a successful trader.
Markets aren't moved by you, me, or even Josh Martinez.
They move with the actions of institutional investors.
Click here for the revolutionary system that leverages the behind the scenes actions of institutional investors. Ross Givens is a former Vice President at a major U.S. bank, boasting $3.2 trillion in assets, managing money for some of the richest institutions in the world… What he learned in the belly of the beast would curl your toes! The sad fact is, the U.S. government and Big Money have been in cahoots for years… Before now, if you had less than $1 million to invest, you were considered a second-class investor by some. Well, that can end today – right NOW! Click here for the revolutionary system that leverages the behind the scenes actions of institutional investors. Because the Wyckoff Cycle lets you turn this "rich man's game" to YOUR advantage. Let us explain… In investment circles, Ross started seeing something weird. Behind the scenes, he noticed ENORMOUS – and 100% anonymous -- trades being placed by buyers with extremely deep pockets. Today, Ross calls them "Stealth Trades" because they take place out of sight... Away from prying eyes… Where no one is watching. It was usually followed by a miraculous thing. The stock price would often GO BALLISTIC… SOON AFTER THESE STEALTH TRADES WERE IN! Ross has uncovered exactly how to spot these stealth trades and ride their coattails. But the big institutional investors would rather you NOT know how to do this.
They want to hoard the profits like a proverbial dragon.
So the information on how to access and potentially profit from Stealth Trades is only going to be available for a short time. Click right here for the revolutionary system that leverages the behind the scenes actions of institutional investors - make sure you click now while this info is still available to the public.

“Who’s Who” of Celeb Billionaires Swarm 1 Odd Tech. | 24 October Posted: 24 Oct 2021 06:04 AM PDT | | The famous Billionaire Founder of Virgin, Richard Branson, is invested. Founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey is invested too. Not to mention the outspoken CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk — who just announced his investment. Why are ALL these Billionaires piling into this 1 odd technology? It's the same reason the NASDAQ, NYSE… And 7 out of 10 of the world's biggest banks are invested. Because this technology could explode: - 113 times bigger than the internet…
- 600 times bigger than 5G…
- 1,000 times bigger than cryptocurrencies.
Forbes calls it A 'Once-In-A-Generation Opportunity'… But in my critical investor presentation — I'll not only reveal why this could be the biggest investing event in 400 years… You'll also discover how just $25 lets you stake your claim in this historic event. | | | Best, Jeff Brown Founder, Brownstone Research P.S. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of this technology… There's no telling how long it will remain on the ground floor. Which is probably why it got the nod of approval from SEC Chairman Jay Clayton… And why a syndicate of 250 high-powered financial attorneys just gathered to declare, "The revolution is now." Don't delay another moment — watch the full investing presentation right here. | | | | | |
Bezos DUMPING Amazon shares to buy into VLEO? Posted: 24 Oct 2021 06:04 AM PDT And even the U.S. Government has earmarked $9.2 billion for it. Editor's Note: Occasionally, an opportunity comes to our attention, that we believe readers like you will find valuable. The message below from one of our partners is one we believe you should take a close look at. Dear Reader, Take a look at this SEC filing for Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos: That's over $1.8 BILLION in Amazon shares sold off in only 3 days by Bezos. Is Amazon going under? Did he want a couple new mansions? I can't say for sure what he did after this specific sale, but this quote from Bezos himself could be the smoking gun… "My business model right now … I sell about $1 billion of Amazon stock a year and I use it to invest in [THIS]" - Jeff Bezos That's right, Jeff Bezos is selling $1 billion in Amazon stock each year to support a new venture. It's called VLEO. And Jeff Bezos isn't the only one who's betting BIG on this… Elon Musk is investing $10 billion… And even the U.S. Government has earmarked $9.2 billion for it. This story is developing rapidly… And if my research on VLEO is correct… Fast-moving investors could start to take home a fortune as soon as October 31st, 2021.

I have been thinking a great deal about growth — what it means, what it asks of us, how it feels when unforced but organic. I have been thinking about growth and decay, the interplay between the two, the way all growth requires regeneration, which in turn requires a shedding, a composting, a reconstituting of old material. We don't always know what needs to be shed, or what the optimal direction of growth is. This is where the "blind optimism" of a tree is helpful — there is consolation in trusting the quiet workings of chemistry and the primal instinct for orienting to the light. Ever/After by Maria Popova. (Available as a print.) I have been thinking about growth and decay while walking long bundled hours in an old-growth forest. The forest, with its colossal trees that have been part-dead since their saplinghood centuries ago and are at the same time potentially immortal. The forest, with its ceaseless syncopation of generation and decomposition that composes the pulse-beat of total aliveness. The forest, this place of constant change that feels somehow atemporal, an everlasting Yes! to life echoed by an ungrudging and vibrant Yes! to death — a place where one feels most intimately the elemental yet counterintuitive fact that death is not the assailant of life but the ultimate consecration of its lucky possibility. This might be why we see ourselves so readily in trees, why we find in them our greatest lessons and the deepest truths about love. Walt Whitman saw in them models for the highest measure of authenticity and why he, in consequence, celebrated the friend he most loved as "true, honest; beautiful as a tree is tall, leafy, rich, full, free… [she] is a tree." Whitman, who two centuries ago declared himself to "know the amplitude of time" and "laugh at what you call dissolution." Whitman, whose atoms now belong to some mycelial wonder pushing up the leaves of cemetery grass and nourishing the roots of the two towering trees that stand sentinel on either side of his tomb, trees that were saplings when he laughed out of life. Little Painting of Fir-Trees, 1922, by Paul Klee, who believed that an artist is like a tree. (Available as a print and a face mask.) While thinking about life and death and poetry in an old-growth forest, I thought of this immortal line: "The word for world is forest" — the title of a novella by Ursula K. Le Guin (October 21, 1929–January 22, 2018). I thought of the short, stunning tree-poem she wrote at the end of her life, originally published on the pages of Orion Magazine and recently included, fittingly, in Old Growth — their splendid anthology of sylvan literature from the magazine's decades-deep archive. Here it is, brought tenderly to life by my tree-loving, poetry-loving, life-and-death-loving friend and kindred spirit Amanda Palmer, to which I have added the perfect sonic companionship of an old recording of Bach's Organ Concerto in D Minor.
KINSHIP by Ursula K. Le Guin Very slowly burning, the big forest tree stands in the slight hollow of the snow melted around it by the mild, long heat of its being and its will to be root, trunk, branch, leaf, and know earth dark, sun light, wind touch, bird song. Rootless and restless and warmblooded, we blaze in the flare that blinds us to that slow, tall, fraternal fire of life as strong now as in the seedling two centuries ago.
Complement with Amanda reading "When I Am Among the Trees" by Mary Oliver and poet Jane Hirshfield reading "Today, Another Universe" — her kindred take on the life and death of a single tree — then revisit Le Guin on anger, the magic of real human conversation, the meaning of loyalty, getting to the other side of suffering, and her timeless "Hymn to Time." donating=lovingFor a decade and half, I have been spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars each month composing The Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings).

"Give me solitude," Whitman demanded in his ode to the eternal tension between city and soul, "give me again O Nature your primal sanities!" In those primal sanities, we come to discover that "there is no place more intimate than the spirit alone," as May Sarton wrote in her stunning 1938 ode to solitude — her hard-earned testimony to solitude as the seedbed of self-discovery, for it is in that intimate place that we see most clearly what our animating spirit is made of. Solitude, Kahlil Gibran knew, summons of us the courage to know ourselves. Elizabeth Bishop believed — a belief I can attest to with my own life — that everyone must experience at least one long period of solitude in life in order to know what we are made of and what we can make of our gifts. "There is only one solitude, and it is large and not easy to bear," Rilke wrote in contemplating the relationship between solitude, love, and creativity, "but… we must hold ourselves to the difficult." The visionary poets knew — as do the visionaries of scientist, as do all persons engaged in lives of creativity or contemplation, which are often one life — how this solitary self-discovery becomes the wellspring of all the meaning-making that makes life worth living, whether we call it art or love. From solitude's promontory, we peer out into the expanse of existence and train our eyes to look with wide-eyed wonder at the improbable fact of it all. Solitude, so conceived, is not merely the state of being alone but the art of becoming fully ourselves — an art acquired, like every art, by apprenticeship and painstaking devotion to dwelling in the often lonesome inner light of our singular and sovereign being. Solitude by Maria Popova. (Available as a print.) Its mastery, delicate and difficult, is what the Buddhist scholar and teacher Stephen Batchelor explores in The Art of Solitude (public library). Celebrating solitude — not the escapist privilege of it but the practice of it against the real world's pressures — as "a site of autonomy, wonder, contemplation, imagination, inspiration, and care," he writes: True solitude is a way of being that needs to be cultivated. You cannot switch it on or off at will. Solitude is an art. Mental training is needed to refine and stabilize it. When you practice solitude, you dedicate yourself to the care of the soul.
Nearly forty years after he first began bridging Western phenomenology and existentialism with Buddhist precepts in his 1983 book Alone with Others: An Existential Approach to Buddhism, Batchelor draws on a lifetime of solitude-mastery — directly, through his own contemplative practice and multiple silent retreats, and indirectly, through his immersion in the lives and works of centuries of solitude-virtuosi ranging from Montaigne to Nietzsche to Ingmar Bergman — to formulate the essence of the inquiry, at once elemental and embodied, at the heart of the art of solitude: Don't expect anything to happen. Just wait. This waiting is a deep acceptance of the moment as such. Nietzsche called it amor fati — unquestioning love of whatever has fated you to be here. You reach a point where you're just sitting there, asking, "What is this?" — but with no interest in an answer. The longing for an answer compromises the potency of the question. Can you be satisfied to rest in this puzzlement, this perplexity, in a deeply focused and embodied way? Just waiting without any expectations? Ask "What is this?," then open yourself completely to what you "hear" in the silence that follows. Be open to this question in the same way as you would listen to a piece of music. Pay total attention to the polyphony of the birds and wind outside, the occasional plane that flies overhead, the patter of rain on a window. Listen carefully, and notice how listening is not just an opening of the mind but an opening of the heart, a vital concern or care for the world, the source of what we call compassion or love.
Illustration by Maurice Sendak from Open House for Butterflies by Ruth Krauss. Echoing Rachel Carson's trust in the loneliness of creative work — a byproduct of the solitude necessary for creative work, natural and needed, often terrifying and always clarifying — Batchelor adds: To be alone at your desk or in your studio is not enough. You have to free yourself from the phantoms and inner critics who pursue you wherever you go. "When you start working," said the composer John Cage, "everybody is in your studio — the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas — all are there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you are lucky, even you leave." […] Having shut the door, you find yourself alone before a canvas, a sheet of paper, a lump of clay, a computer screen. Other tools and materials lie around, close at hand, waiting to be used. You resume your silent conversation with the work. This is a two-way process: you create the work and then you respond to it. The work can inspire, surprise, and shock you… The solitary act of making art involves intense, wordless dialogue.
Art by Margaret Cook from a rare 1913 edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. (Available as a print) Drawing a link between the Buddhist notion of nirvana and Keats's notion of "negative capability" — that spacious willingness to negate the pull of attachments, reactivities, and fixities, to live with mystery and embrace uncertainty — Batchelor observes that contemplative practice trains the ability to see each moment as a chance to start anew, to savor life as ongoing, unfixed, ever-changing and ever capable of being changed. He considers the essential building blocks and ultimate rewards of contemplative practice: To integrate contemplative practice into life requires more than becoming proficient in techniques of meditation. It entails the cultivation and refinement of a sensibility about the totality of your existence—from intimate moments of personal anguish to the endless suffering of the world. This sensibility encompasses a range of skills: mindfulness, curiosity, understanding, collectedness, compassion, equanimity, care. Each of these can be cultivated and refined in solitude but has little value if it cannot survive the fraught encounter with others. Never be complacent about contemplative practice; it is always a work in progress. The world is here to surprise us. My most lasting insights have occurred off the cushion, not on it.
One of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's original watercolors for The Little Prince. In consonance with poet and philosopher Wendell Berry's life-tested belief that "true solitude is found in the wild places," where one is without human obligation," where "one's inner voices become audible [and,] in consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives," Batchelor adds: By withdrawing from the world into solitude, you separate yourself from others. By isolating yourself, you can see more clearly what distinguishes you from other people. Standing out in this way serves to affirm your existence (ex-[out] + sistere [stand]). Liberated from social pressures and constraints, solitude can help you understand better what kind of person you are and what your life is for. In this way you become independent of others. You find your own path, your own voice. […] Here lies the paradox of solitude. Look long and hard enough at yourself in isolation and suddenly you will see the rest of humanity staring back. Sustained aloneness brings you to a tipping point where the pendulum of life returns you to others.
Complement The Art of Solitude with Hermann Hesse on solitude, hardship, and destiny, then savor Batchelor's spacious On Being conversation with Krista Tippett.
While it is true, as generations of psychologists have found, that "who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love" — a process known as limbic revision — it is also true, as generations of self-aware humans have found, that whom we love depends in large part on who we already are. Our original wounds, our formative attachments, our patterned longings all shape how we engage with those we have chosen to love, to the extent that we are choosing them at all. "People can't, unhappily, invent their mooring posts, their lovers and their friends, anymore than they can invent their parents," James Baldwin astutely observed in contemplating the paradox of freedom. "Life gives these and also takes them away and the great difficulty is to say Yes to life." The great difficulty, too, is how easily those life-expanding Yeses that can open larger vistas of possibility come fear-concealed as Nos, or how those life-preserving Nos that keep us from entering into experiences too damaging or too small for us bear the momentum of pre-conditioned Yeses. And so we project who we are and what we need onto those we love, and find in them reflections of who we long to be or fear we might be, swarming them and swarming ourselves in all the blooming buzzing confusion of our unmet needs. Illustration by Margaret C. Cook for a rare 1913 edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. (Available as a print.) This is not to demean and diminish love as a mere process of projection — Stendhal's seven-stage delusion of crystallization and decrystallization — or a mere process of reflection — Ortega's insightful but limited and limiting theory of what our lovers reveal about us — but to honor the elemental fact that each relationship is not between two people, but between three: the two partners, each with their pre-existing patterns of love and loss, and the third presence of the relationship itself — an intersubjective co-creation that becomes the third partner, endowed with the power to deepen those patters, or to change them. The great peril and great possibility of every love is that this third partner can be a rewounder masquerading as a healer, and equally a healer in disguise, masked beyond recognition by our own patterned way of seeing. So much of our suffering springs from this confusion and so much of our sanity is redeemed when at last we shed our own blinding masks and come to kneel at the fount of clarity. That is what George Saunders explores in his immensely insightful and sensitive annotated reading of Chekhov's short story "The Darling" — one of the seven classic Russian short stories he examines as "seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world" in A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life (public library), using each as a portable laboratory for the key to great storytelling. Art by Margaret C. Cook for Leaves of Grass. (Available as a print.) After a beautiful translation of "The Darling" — a story about a woman who loves four very different people the same patterned way, the only way she knows how, which has entirely to do with her learned understanding of love and nothing to do with its objects, and so she suffers greatly when each of these loves leaves her in the same lonely place; a story the essence of which Saunders captures perfectly as being "about a tendency, present in all of us, to misunderstand love as 'complete absorption in,' rather than 'in full communication with'" — he pauses to marvel at Chekhov's subtlety in challenging our reflex toward lazy binaries, his mastery in training our muscle of ambiguity, uncertainty, and nuance — which is, of course, the only we grasp and savor the full Yes of life. Saunders writes: We see Olenka's mode of loving, from one angle, as a beautiful thing: in that mode, the self disappears and all that remains is affectionate, altruistic regard for the beloved. From another angle, we see it as a terrible thing, the undiscriminating application of her one-note form of love robbing love of its particularity: Olenka, love dullard, vampirically feeding upon whomever she designates as her beloved. We see this mode of loving as powerful, single-pointed, pure, answering all questions with its unwavering generosity. We see it as weak: her true, autonomous self is nowhere to be found as she molds herself into the image of whatever male happens to be near her (unless he's a cat). This puts us in an interesting state of mind. We don't exactly know what to think of Olenka. Or, feeling so multiply about her, we don't know how to judge her. The story seems to be asking, "Is this trait of hers good or bad?" Chekhov answers: "Yes."
Elemental by Maria Popova. (Available as a print and as a face mask.) The story, like every great work of fiction, becomes a mirror for reflection on the most intimate realities of life. Saunders writes: We want to believe that love is singular and exclusive, and it unnerves us to think that it might actually be renewable and somewhat repetitive in its habits. Would your current partner ever call his or her new partner by the same pet name he/she uses for you, once you are dead and buried? Well, why not? There are only so many pet names. Why should that bother you? Well, because you believe it is you, in particular, who is loved (that is why dear Ed calls you "honey-bunny"), but no: love just is, and you happened to be in the path of it. When, dead and hovering above Ed, you hear him call that rat Beth, your former friend, "honey-bunny," as she absentmindedly puts her traitorous finger into his belt loop, you, in spirit form, are going to think somewhat less of Ed, and of Beth, and maybe of love itself. Or will you? Maybe you won't. Because don't we all do some version of this, when in love? When your lover dies or leaves you, there you are, still yourself, with your particular way of loving. And there is the world, still full of people to love.
