Or the news that Chinese AI app DeepSeek apparently outsmarted its U.S. rivals with startlingly low investment costs? Or the news that Elon Musk has offered to buy OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT? Well, stop it. Trading any of that news would be a mistake. I’ve met successful value investors… momentum investors… and quant investors. I’ve even met folks who made a living betting on football games. But I’ve never met a successful investor who traded news headlines. By the time you see or hear a headline pop up on Bloomberg or CNBC, every bank and hedge fund on Wall Street has already seen or heard it and positioned themselves to profit. That would be true in normal times. But these aren’t normal times. As regular readers will know, we’re living through the Age of Chaos. The 2020s are shaping up to be one of the most volatile and turbulent decades in modern history. And since President Trump took office on January 20, we get sandblasted by a year’s worth of market-moving headlines every week. Even worse, much of it is fake. Like the news that DeepSeek’s groundbreaking R1 model cost only $6 million to train and build… and used only 20,000 Nvidia chips. A new report by semiconductor industry analysis firm SemiAnalysis reports DeepSeek incurred $1.6 billion in hardware costs and uses a fleet of 50,000 Nvidia to power R1. (Yet again reinforcing my reluctance to trust any information that comes out of China.) So, forget the headlines. There’s a better way to profit in the Age of Chaos. That is, follow the money. Ignore what people are saying, and watch what they’re doing. Like we do at our Freeport Alpha advisory, look for evidence of Wall Street pros piling into certain stocks… and then jump on board. Today, they’re piling into one sector of the market above all others. So let’s follow their lead. To do that, we must first understand one critical point… | Recommended Link | | | | A quant-based algorithm Luke uses that’s designed to identify a predictable pattern where cryptos could soar 10X, 50X even 100X in 90 days or less… We’re talking about the opportunity backtests show could turn a $1,000 investment into $21,330… $55,370… Even $116,140… In the matter of weeks!

And the market for stocks works like any other market, be it in potatoes or Pokémon cards. When demand outstrips supply – when there are more buyers than sellers – prices rise. When supply gets ahead of demand – when there are more sellers than buyers – prices fall. As everyday investors, you and I couldn’t move the market when we buy stocks. Our investments are a drop in the bucket when you’re talking about billions of dollars in daily trading volume. If we mortgaged our homes, maxed out our credit cards, and poured every dollar we could get our hands into Apple or Nvidia, Wall Street wouldn’t notice. But it’s a different story when you’re talking about the big boys. When pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and even large mutual funds get into a stock, they tend to make a splash. They can change its price direction or lift it to new highs. That’s why they can’t just buy stocks in one go. They have to buy in chunks. And this type of buying leaves signs you can detect. That’s what we do at Freeport Alpha. Our proprietary MoneyFlow Indicator scans nearly 5,500 U.S. stocks every day, looking for the best of the best companies that big institutions are buying up in globs. It then uses 80 complex algorithms to score and rank each one of them for strength across 29 factors. It would take all day to explain what’s “under the hood” of the scoring process. But the higher the score, the more likely it is that a stock will break out. And it’s delivered. When our MoneyFlow Indicator detected “stealth” big money buying in data analytics software company Palantir around August last year, we followed the big guns and bought the stock on August 29. Three months later, when our indicator flagged smart money interest waning, we sold for a gain of 111%. Following the big fish into and out of private prisons and mental health facilities, The GEO Group handed us 98% profits in 16 weeks… And 90% profits in real-time law enforcement intelligence provider Airship AI in just over four months. So, where is big money flocking today? | Recommended Link | | | | Eric Fry here. I just delivered an urgent report from ground zero of the greatest technology project in human history. An invention so far beyond our current technology — even artificial intelligence — that some believe it will create millionaires overnight.

And that makes sense… Wall Street is giddy over the steps President Trump is taking steps to reduce regulatory burdens on financial institutions. For instance, his team has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to shut down. This cuts compliance costs and potential penalties for banks… and boosts their profitability. Investors are also over-the-moon about potential tax reforms that could further fatten margins for financial institutions. This is great news for brokerages, who profit from fees, spreads, and margin interest as trading activity increases. It’s also great news for full-service brokers and wealth management firms, who charge fees based on assets under management (AUM). Because as stock prices rise, so do AUMs. I know there’s a lot of hype around AI and tech right now. And much of it is justified. But if you’re looking for a way to profit right now by following the money, consider adding shares in the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) to your portfolio. This exchange-traded fund (ETF) gives exposure to a range of financial industries, including banking, insurance, and capital markets. And it charges just 0.09% a year, which is on the low end of the scale for this type of fund. So, do yourself and your wealth a favor… Don’t try to trade the headlines. The financial giants have you beat on that score. Instead, follow the money. To life, liberty, and the pursuit of wealth, |
