Elon Musk’s 5-Word Message Could Be Worth a FORTUNE to Investors

And today, legendary investor James Altucher reveals how YOU can follow Elon’s wealth-building blueprint…

Good Morning!
☕ I've developed a foolproof investment strategy.
When my stocks go up, I'm a financial genius.
When they go down, it's the Federal Reserve's fault.
I've been using this system for years. My wife calls it "avoiding accountability." I call it "portfolio management." 😂
Unfortunately, Warren Buffett is making my strategy increasingly difficult to defend.
In May, Buffett warned:
"It's tough to find values when everybody is preferring gambling."
Ouch.
He's talking about investors who seem more interested in predicting tomorrow's stock price than understanding today's business.
And he's got a point.
We've reached a strange moment in investing.
A company announces it's using artificial intelligence.
Its stock jumps 20%.
Nobody asks whether it's making money.
Nobody checks its debt.
Nobody examines its cash flow.
Apparently, the letters AI now stand for "Apparently Irrelevant" when it comes to financial statements.
Buffett approaches investing differently.
His philosophy can be summarized in one famous observation:
"Price is what you pay; value is what you get."
That's an important distinction.
A fantastic company can be a terrible investment if you overpay.
Imagine buying a $500,000 house for $900,000.
It's still a wonderful house.
You just made a terrible deal.
My wife once paid $400 for a handbag that holds approximately $12 worth of stuff.
I brought up Buffett's philosophy.
We haven't discussed investing together since.
But here's what I find most interesting about Buffett.
He's perfectly comfortable doing nothing.
He'll sit on cash and wait for an opportunity that makes sense.
Meanwhile, I get anxious if I haven't checked my brokerage account by 9:31 a.m.
The lesson?
You don't have to swing at every pitch.
And you certainly don't have to chase every stock that suddenly becomes popular.
Before buying, ask yourself:
Am I purchasing a business at a reasonable price? Or am I betting someone will pay more for it tomorrow?
Because Buffett understands something I've learned the expensive way.
The stock market is a wonderful place to build wealth.
It's a terrible place to pay tuition for gambling lessons.
And unlike Vegas, they don't even give you free drinks.

P.S. Warren Buffett says the stock market isn't a casino.
I agree. At least in Vegas, when I lose money, someone brings me a free drink.
My brokerage account just sends me another email asking if I'd like to invest more. 🤷
Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors.
Hi, James Altucher here.
I’m reaching out today to relay epic three words, recently spoken by Elon Musk.
Infinite.
Money.
Glitch.
It sounds insane…

I have put together a short presentation on what it is and why I believe this could be the biggest wealth event of our lifetime.

Top Stories
1. The Fed Is About to Make Borrowing More Expensive. Again.
"100 Economists Agree: Your Money Is About to Get More Expensive." A new Reuters survey found that all 100 economists surveyed expect a December rate hike, while 94 expect no increase at the October meeting. That's a dramatic shift from last month's expectations.
Trevor's angle: "I can't get four people to agree on where to eat dinner. The Federal Reserve just got 100 economists to agree we're in trouble."
2. A Korean AI Company Went Public. Investors Immediately Lost Nearly 30%.
"AI Was Supposed to Make Investors Rich. This IPO Lost 30% Instead." South Korean AI company Elice Group fell nearly 30% below its IPO price, helping trigger a broader technology selloff in South Korea. The decline highlights investors' increasing skepticism toward expensive AI growth stories.
Trevor's angle: "Usually, when I lose 30% of my money, it takes me at least six months. These investors managed it on opening day."
3. A Toy Company Just Beat Wall Street Thanks to a Card Game.
“Forget AI. A Card Game Just Sent This Stock Soaring." Hasbro shares rose approximately 10.6% after the company reported strong results, including record sales for Magic: The Gathering. While investors obsess over artificial intelligence, a decades-old collectible card game is delivering real business growth.
Trevor's angle: "I've spent years trying to understand cryptocurrency. Apparently, I should've been collecting cardboard dragons."
4. Google Cofounder Could Avoid $15 Billion in Taxes by Leaving California
"He Spent $173 Million on Houses. It Could Save Him $15 BILLION." Google cofounder Larry Page purchased approximately $173 million in Miami properties after shifting ties away from California. Fortune estimates he could avoid nearly $15 billion under a proposed California billionaire tax, depending on the measure's passage and applicable residency rules.
Trevor's angle: "I moved once to save $200 a month on rent. Larry Page moved and potentially saved $15 billion. Clearly, I'm negotiating at the wrong level."
5. One Company Just Made Its Shareholders 50% Richer in a Day
"A $5.66 Billion Deal Just Sent This Stock Up 50%." Salesforce announced plans to acquire marketing technology company Braze for approximately $5.66 billion. Braze shares jumped more than 50% after the announcement, with the proposed $47.50-per-share cash offer representing a substantial premium to its previous closing price.
Trevor's angle: "My investments take three years to gain 10%. Apparently, some investors just wake up on Tuesday and find out they're 50% richer."

The “Do the Opposite of Jim Cramer” Fund
The managers monitored Cramer’s television appearances and social media, betting against stocks he favored and buying stocks he criticized. It turned the internet joke—“just do the opposite of Cramer”—into an actual investment product.
Would you invest in a “Do the Opposite of Jim Cramer” fund? 😂
