Are you still a buy-and-hold investor? The reason I ask is that
Wall Street stopped buying and holding years ago. They just never told you.
Investing used to be a bit like planting an oak tree. You'd buy a famous company,
you'd plant it in your account, you'd ignore it, and you'd check back in 20 years.
Today, the world changes just too fast for that. Because of AI and rapid technology shifts,
a company that looks like it might be an oak tree, it can literally be chopped down to
absolutely nothing in just two years. So if you buy and hold one company forever,
you might end up holding it all the way down to zero. Do you remember PayPal? It's down 85%.
NIO? It's down 90%. Rivian? Down 92%. Zoom? Down 87%. Coinbase? It's down 51%.
And that's just from last year. What about Beyond Meat? That one's down 99.7%. It's worth pennies.
And patient investors lost 80, 90, or even 99% of their money holding great,
well-known companies just like they were taught. And that was great advice for your grandparents.
But in 2026, that oak tree you've been patiently growing, it can be chopped down by AI,
a competitor, by a single policy change in just weeks or months, not years.
So what do the Wall Street pros actually do? They surf. They find the wave, the industry,
where all the big money is flowing. They ride it hard, they take their profit,
and then they paddle out and they catch the next wave. Tech, energy, healthcare, banking,
the money never disappears. It just moves somewhere else. And when Wall Street moves
hundreds of billions of dollars into a new sector, they're so big, they cannot hide it.
They leave footprints, giant, enormous footprints in the market. Prices start rising steadily.
Volume starts picking up. The whole sector lights up while everything else stays quiet.
So your job isn't to predict the future. Your job is to simply follow the footprints. And guess what
the best part is? You don't have to be a stock picker to do this. You don't need to analyze
balance sheets or guess which single company survives. You just need to know which industry
the money is flowing into and then potentially buy a basket of those companies. So it's not stock
pick. It's not guesswork. You just follow the money. And this Saturday, I'm going to teach
this entire strategy live for free in the south of France, which is where we're heading right now.
And it's called why buy and hold is dead in 2026 and what Wall Street does instead.
No experience is needed. There'll be no jargon. Just the strategies the pros use,
explained in plain English. So get your free seat. Be on time. There'll be no replays. The link is
down below in the description. And come and join us when the weather is lovely and the sky is blue
and the sea is absolutely lovely. I don't know how much you can make out of that. Probably not
all that much, but it's going to be great. And the reason I'm running this while I'm traveling
and I'm on holidays, this is important. This is really, really important. Like your grandfather's
world of buy Coca-Cola and hold for 50 years, it just doesn't apply anymore. The world is moving
faster. It's moving more rapidly. And if you don't understand the rules, you might just get left
behind. So come and join us on Saturday. All the best. What if I told you that one year ago,
almost to this day, I sat here, well, not exactly here, but I sat somewhere and I took a look at
two tiny quantum computing stocks, almost called
