Volatility Showdown: When "Priced In" Goes Out the Window

Hello, my friends!

The other day, we saw a prime example of why you should never get too comfortable leaning one way.

Experts gave a rate decision a 99% chance - everyone was certain it was already “priced in.” Then boom! The exact opposite reaction hit.

Instead of the calm, predictable moves everyone expected, the market flipped into a classic meltdown.

Now, with the new year right around the corner, we’re facing that age-old truth: what happens in January often sets the tone for the entire year.

The Fear & Greed Index just slipped into ‘fear’ territory for the first time in months. Traders are reacting fast - hedging their bets as uncertainty takes hold."

This is the perfect moment to dive into a quick lesson on thriving in chaos and taming the volatility beast.

Strap in, because it’s time to sharpen your strategy and crush it in the year ahead!

Man who predicted Crypto Market: AI will be 10X bigger

James Altucher, the investor who famously called Bitcoin's rise, is now predicting something even bigger: Artificial Intelligence.

Altucher, known for his bold predictions, believes AI could dwarf previous tech booms—becoming the first $100 trillion industry. He suggests that early investors have the potential to turn a modest $10,000 investment into $1 million over the next few years.

But this kind of opportunity won’t last long. Altucher says the “wealth window” will close soon.

He’s created a short video detailing exactly how investors can position themselves now for maximum profits. If you missed out on Bitcoin, this could be your second chance.

Plus, he’s giving away one of his top AI stock picks for free. It’s a rare chance to get ahead of what could be the biggest wealth-building opportunity of our time.
