“Without accountability, there is no trust, and without trust, there is no leadership.”
Hello, my friends!
As we approach the final days of 2025, many of us find ourselves reflecting on another year that didn't unfold as planned.
Red screens. Repeated prop account breaches. Hard-earned capital eroded by inconsistent execution and lingering excuses from the past.
If your trading plan remains disorganized, your daily routine fragmented, and consistency still feels out of reach, you're not alone!
I've walked that same path - days where even half my intended tasks went unfinished, where procrastination quietly compounded into larger setbacks.
📅 The close of the year, can be a shift in your momentum. The most successful traders - the true professionals - don't wait for "tomorrow" or a perfect January 1st. They act decisively in these final weeks.
🤔 While others reflect passively or draft vague resolutions, the elite lock in new habits and systems now, building momentum before the new year begins.
🤝 That's why I've maintained a continuous 20-day accountability cycle with my clients. It keeps me sharp, forces daily execution, and eliminates the drift that destroys progress.
No excuses - just measurable, consistent action!
If you're ready to leave the chaos behind and enter 2026 with structure - I invite you to take the first step. Book a free intro call here.
💪 Your edge is built through deliberate, repeated action - starting today. 💪
Impulse of the Month
In recent weeks, Gold and Silver have dominated financial headlines, driven by powerful upward momentum.
Particularly striking is the divergence between the two metals. While gold has posted impressive gains - rising more than 70% year-to-date to record highs above $4,500 per ounce - silver has exhibited even more explosive price action.
The white metal has surged nearly 170% in 2025, briefly surpassing $80 per ounce in late December before sharp profit-taking and exchange interventions triggered a pullback.
This parabolic move in silver stands out when compared to gold's steadier climb, prompting renewed debate:
Is the outperformance rooted in fundamental supply-demand imbalances?
Persistent structural deficits - exacerbated by robust industrial demand from solar, electric vehicles, AI infrastructure, and electronics - combined with constrained mine production and emerging export restrictions (notably from China), have tightened physical availability considerably.
Alternatively, speculation persists about underlying pressures in the financial system. Rumors have circulated of margin calls on large short positions held by bullion banks or major institutions, potentially forcing liquidations amid heightened volatility. While exchanges like the CME have responded by raising margin requirements to manage risk - a standard measure in overheated markets - no confirmed reports of systemic bank distress have emerged from major outlets.
Key recent developments include:
Record highs for both metals amid geopolitical tensions, policy uncertainty, and safe-haven flows.
Sharp intraday reversals following profit-taking and thinner holiday liquidity.
Ongoing industrial demand supporting silver's premium performance over gold.
As we close out 2025, the precious metals rally ranks among the strongest in decades, echoing patterns last seen in the late 1970s. Investors should monitor evolving supply dynamics, central bank behavior, and regulatory responses for clues on whether this momentum will persist into the new year - or face further corrections.
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
