On Monday, Bob Czeschin outlined some notes on Common Sense Investing for Uncommon Times.
Because these are uncommon times.
Between the escalation of the situation in the Middle East and uncertainty around whether President Trump will try to extend his tariffs, the markets seem unsure how to respond.
It’s easy to understand why so many investors are at a standstill.
Bob’s commonsense suggestions are a great place to begin. He goes back to the basics to help you reinforce the foundation of your portfolio.
If you haven’t read that update yet, I suggest you do so now.
But sometimes, an uncommon challenge requires a less common approach.
Geopolitical volatility ripples through every market. So maybe, your next investment opportunity should be off the market. Or rather, pre-market.
My colleague Chris Graebe specializes in private equity investing. He’s gotten into private shares right alongside billionaires like Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary and more.
In fact, he’s invested in over 30 private companies. They were tiny, undiscovered startups when he found them. Many were valued at only a few million dollars at the time of his investment.
Today, those same companies are worth over $1 BILLION combined — including the ones that didn’t work out.
Two of these companies even saw public exits, with one giving early investors the chance to harvest 777% gains!
Now, he’s just about ready to share the name of the next pre-IPO company that caught his attention. It’s a resource play that has pioneered a new method for extracting 30+ metals in high demand, including gold, silver, rare earths and more …
All without owning or operating a single mine.
You can hear more about it directly from Chris here.
But that’s not the only play your experts have for you this week. You can dive into the rest below …
The Bullish Reason Bitcoin Is Brushing Off Geopolitics
Bitcoin (BTC, “B+”) hasn’t broken out of its trading range yet. And according to Juan Villaverde’s Crypto Timing Model, the 320-day low, while likely behind us, still hasn’t been confirmed.
So why did Bitcoin rally in the face of bad news? According to Juan, it’s because the market is done selling. The underlying metrics have shifted. And in his latest update, he breaks down how … and when we can expect to see BTC break above its current range.
This Small Growth Play Just Got a Powerful Tailwind
Unlike Bitcoin, many altcoins don’t have the strength to resist macroeconomic forces outside of an all-out bull market rally. Which is why you may have missed this small-cap crypto’s big development: The first spot Sui (SUI, “B-”) ETFs launched with staking.
According to Mark Gough, big moves like this matter in bear markets. They show us which projects are investing in their own future. And they set the stage for large potential returns later on. Especially when institutions put their money behind them.
How to Thrive as Crypto Enters Its ETF Era
The spot SUI ETFs are just the latest to enter the market. Since January 2024, ETFs have become a common and easy way for institutions to get their crypto fix. And benefit from DeFi utility indirectly.
They’ve also fundamentally changed crypto’s market structure. In his update, tech expert Jurica Dujmovic shows you how ETFs and their buyers are fundamentally reshaping crypto … and what tools you’ll need to keep your analysis up to date.
One of the most disruptive headlines over the past week was the U.S. government labeling AI company Anthropic a "supply chain risk." All because the company wouldn’t give the DoD access to its AI model, Claude, for surveillance. Competitors OpenAI and Google immediately understood the message and fell in line.
For the privacy-conscious, this is a wake-up call. In her latest update, DeFi expert Marija Matić lays out the long-term dangers of centralized AI. And she gives you two on-chain AI plays that keep you in control of your data.
But that’s all for this week. Be sure to keep an eye out for your next Weiss Crypto Daily update tomorrow afternoon.
