THE PIED PIPER & THE POWER OF MISINFORMATION

EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

Manipulation of Misinformation

Once you dissolve TRUTH, democracy dissolves along with it. It is of the Tipster’s opinion that this is exactly how Donald J. Trump won his second term in office as U.S. President.

Tremendous demagoguery and deception led to an unprecedented moment in U.S. history. By appealing to the “Dark Side” of American history rather than using rational arguments with legitimacy, Trump was able to overthrow the government democratically, by cultivating a “Mass Movement”. Racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, gender issues and complete misogyny extended their evil malice from our long and not so distant past.

DRINKING THE KOOLADE

Trump’s Seduction

Winning a grievance election by virtue of deception and seduction was the easy part for Donald J. Trump. Hell, half of his followers still believe his continued rhetoric on how the previous election was stolen from him. He was never going to give up this position which clearly rallied his “Cultish Fans”. In fact, his greatest strength is in motivating people through fear, pain and panic. Anyone watching the events on January 6th, 2021 should realize that he was never, and will never be about “Unity & Democracy”.

Disinformation

I clearly remember a question presented to Donald Trump at one of the debates about what changes he would bring to health care. His response was that he’s got some concepts that he’s working on. Yet, month after month, all we heard about leading up to the election was Kamala Harris’s lack of policies and proposals for the next four years.

With the help of his friends and supporters at the No.1 political media network, Fox News he gained enormous momentum day after day by their committed effort to push false narratives. Furthermore, his billionaire friend and supporter, Elon Musk by virtue of his control of “X”, formerly “Twitter”, was able to reach millions of viewers doing the same. The disinformation exploding to an unprecedented level in the history of political theatre. Sham after sham deceptively encouraging undecided voters.

Some “Fact Checked” Truths

During the Biden/Harris administration, there was no recession in the short term economy, and a real per capita growth happening in the long term. The current administration quadrupled the number of new jobs created by Trump in his pervious four years in the Whitehouse; and yet, the American people were only to hear over and over again about a misquoted number of new jobs created by the democrats in 2024. The Biden/Harris administration also  produced a record level of Energy during the past three plus years yet Americans were led to believe that Trump was the better producer.

There was no real mention on the growth of the stock market nor the current administrations effort and successes to bring down inflation. However, there was plenty of propaganda to encourage a need for change. Persistent disinformation such as Ukraine, the second largest European country after Russia, being responsible for the war with Russia. Immigrants killing U.S. citizens while receiving money and extravagant benefits that were being paid by taxing hard working native Americans. The documented truth about migrants is that they are amongst the most law abiding, loyal, and responsible individuals that make up America. Fox News stooped as low as to Outright Lie about government funds being diverted to migrants that were allocated for Hurricane Relief.

Facts about Donald J. Trump lost in Translation

For instance, Donald is 78, and definitely not as sharp as he was four years ago, when he lost the 2020 election by more votes than any other presidential candidate in history. He is a convicted felon, found guilty on 34 counts of fraud and collusion. He continually repeats falsehoods about his previous record as president. He cheated on all of his wives, makes racist remarks, and lies so often that it has become expected behavior. According to political historians, his time in the Whitehouse ranked him last or second to last amongst his predecessors. And, none of his appointed colleagues from his previous cabinet endorsed him for president this time.

So, what happened here, is one for the ages.

The Unfortunate Conclusion

Donald J. Trump, the Pied Piper, was able to blow his flute while elevating his demagoguery over the greatest nation on the face of this earth.

A Need for Faith

My prayer is that the Lord God watch over us with a steadfast guiding Hand laid firmly upon the shoulder of our next Commander and Chief.

Stocks to BUY if TRUMP wins the Whitehouse

  MY POP WAS VERY PROUD THE DAY I BECAME A STOCKBROKER

Fracking

An obvious and possibly most lucrative place to begin is right here. Halliburton (HAL) is one of the world’s largest providers of equipment for fracking and leads the way in products and services for the ever-evolving Energy industry. Furthermore the ownership of Halliburton is a mix of institutional, retail and individual investors. The largest shareholders include Black Rock Inc., Capital World Investors and the Vanguard Group Inc.. Individuals, such as Donald Trump and some of his richest friends also hold large shareholder positions here.

Halliburton uses a fleet of over 5600 tractors, 2800 trucks and 11000 trailers to do nearly $15.5 billion in annual sales. The company went public in 1948 and was listed as the Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company (HOWCO) and eventually became the Halliburton Company (HAL) in 1961. The company employed over 48000 people as of  2023.

THE COMPANY’S Sweetheart Deal

Halliburton has come under intense scrutiny over it’s multi-billion dollar contracts with the U.S. military in Iraq. Critics charging that Halliburton has seemingly become another branch of the U.S. military, while the company’s former CEO, Dick Cheney, is now the vice president. A Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR) since 09/11/2001, has constructed base camps at more than 60 locations throughout the Middle East and South Asia. And, America’s war on terrorism has created a windfall for KBR. The latest quarterly report of KBR’s shows profit margins on military services is at 3.8% which lauds the company’s efficiency.

The overall consensus is: While trading in an environment with an administration that is anti fracking the stock is near it’s 52 week low. Consequently, it will do well in an administration that holds high regard for expanding fracking.

Tesla

Trump’s good buddy and major presidential campaign contributor, Elon Musk, is ready for another bounce in his company’s (TSLA) stock price. Trump has already committed and will do what he has promised to the automotive industry. He is going to stop all government subsidies to EV companies. This favors Elon Musk significantly, as Tesla no longer need subsidies as their competitors do.

Tesla’s business platform has been unmatched by both domestic and foreign auto manufacturers. Phase 1: To build and supply worldwide the “Ultimate Battery”. Phase 2: Building massive utility projects around the world. These would be considered “Micro Grids”. Tesla is already revolutionizing these grids in over 40 countries. Houston, Texas is home to the largest U.S. Tesla grid. Phase 3: Tesla operating as a giant decentralized “Electric Utility Company” worldwide. There definitely will be some small energy players that will rise with Tesla’s grid growth. I like (FCEL) Fuel Cell Energy, Inc. and (PLUG) Plug Power Inc. just to mention a couple.

In the next decade over 150 million EVs will be on the roads. Most of you know I touted Tesla way back in 2018, and in a short three year period the stock rose an incredible 2500%. Now that the last two years have trimmed the price considerably, and it’s trading close to it’s 52 week low, this would be a good investment both for a short term jolt and as a hold-long term.

Immigration

Donald Trump has stated over and over how he will put an end to illegal immigration. He intends to round up and deport well over a million immigrants. So, who will benefit from this endeavor. The answer is, private prison companies. Obviously, you cannot deport a million people all at once.

Geo Group Inc. (GEO) is a publicly traded company that also is an enormous contributor to Trump’s Super PACs; and, will greatly benefit with Donald Trump in the Whitehouse. They construct, finance and invest in private prisons and mental health facilities in the United States. Similar to Halliburton, their largest shareholders include Black Rock Inc. and Vanguard Group Inc..

The influx of inmates will be a direct result of holding illegal immigrants until deportation and/or rehabilitation leading to various reintegration programs. As with the other companies I’ve listed here, they have positive earnings and growth revenue.

Banking

Donald Trump definitely favors deregulation, so a sound buy and hold long term stock position would be JPMorgan Chase & Company (JPM).

Oil

Whether you’re and investor, a business analyst, or someone fascinated by the ever-changing landscape of corporate financial health, a list of the U.S. largest ranking companies by “Market Cap” is an excellent place to determine a company’s size instead of sales or total asset value. For instance, in an acquisition, the market cap helps determine whether a takeover candidate represents a good value for the acquirer. Market capitalization shows how much a company is worth as determined by total market value of all outstanding shares. To calculate a company’s market cap, simply multiply the number of outstanding shares by the current market value of one share. With that being said, in the oil industry you might look at Exxon (XOM).

Big Pharma

I would stay far away from this sector. With the promise of a cabinet position for Robert Kennedy Jr. and what he will bring to the table, I would stand clear of Big Pharma. In fact, I think the major players in this sector will take a hit. However, I wouldn’t go as far as shorting any one particular stock in this sector.       

          What’s on the horizon?

Media

I’ve saved the best for last. (DJT) – Truth Social. This is Donald Trump’s baby.

Trump’s Media & Technology Corp.

The company is near it’s 52 week low since shares that were restricted have just become unrestricted. I’m thinking that at some point DJT will merge with Rumble (RUM), which has become the “Conservative” You Tube. Looking further, I’ve found out that 51% of the Rumble shares are owned by four individuals. This gives them effective control of the company. The insider ownership of Rumble can make this merger happen quickly following a Donald Trump victory on November 5th. That happening should give DJT a tremendous boost in the short term.

Quite Mercenary

This article might come across as sort of mercenary. Like I don’t particularly care who wins the election but that I just want to make a lot of money. The truth is, I’m writing this not just because I want to make money; but, that’s what I want for all of you. Those of you who know me, know that I’m a lifelong Democrat and proudly stand with Kamala Harris.

Investing Disclosure Statement

All of the information presented here has been obtained from various sources believed to be reliable. With that being said, the accuracy of this information can and will change from month to month or even as soon as day to day. Investors should always carefully review and investigate stock prospectuses; furthermore, most should consult with investment counsel before investing.

Remember, the three most important words in investing are: “I don’t know”. The past performance of the market can not guarantee the future performance. Investing money that is critical to your current needs is never recommended.

The Chase For Perfection

Human Perfection

Simply stated, human perfection requires one to have all the necessary qualities to be considered absolutely fulfilled. That is to exist ideally, sound and complete in all aspects of oneself.

Inner Vision

True inner vision can only be established while in a state of complete meditation. This very well may be the most precise way to unleash the power of the “Subconscious Mind”. It is estimated that 95% of our thoughts, feelings, memories and instincts are living in our subconscious. There are many well known authors, doctors and psychologists who have written books on the power and insight within the subconscious. Various suggested methods and physical practices have been established to utilize the power of one’s mind, including a way to harness the subconscious. I’ve often found great insight, inspiration and energy by sitting in the dark with complete stillness.

Brain Frequencies

Think of your consciousness as the desires of your being and your subconscious as the architect of these desires. If you can embrace and champion this concept you can conceivably reach your own particular desired level of perfection.

When you see the world as a physical and stationary place, life can seem quite challenging and competitive to say the least. But, when you take control of your mind and enter the nonphysical realm, by way of meditation, mindful submission or specific intuition there are no limits to the world of resources, ideas and possibilities. The great thinkers of the world, all share the ability of being able to control their brain frequencies.  This may sound easier said than done. More importantly, this is not just theory, but a truly sound and pragmatic blueprint for self realization and the pursuit of perfection.

Believing is Seeing

Believing means having a state of mind that fully accepts the positive without question or passiveness. Receiving perfection takes a lot of work, but physical attributes are not always required. It’s your subconscious that sees and then manifests the expectations you distinctly have. Accepting perfection is often more difficult than manifesting it. Too often we lack the necessary responsibility to redeem the promise of our being.

Consider the reality of the metaphysical in everyday living. Can we really tune in and direct the powers of the universe? Manifesting perfection and creating the life you dream about may be easier than you think. Unfortunately, most people fall far short of their potential without ever realizing it. There lies an incredible power within each and every one of us. To tap this power it takes belief in yourself, awareness of all that’s seen and unseen and the understanding of self worth.

Nevertheless, we are born into a world that stifles our subconscious from birth and often programs us to attain and accept far less than we are capable of. Whether intentional or not, most of us have been led and sculptured to reach our destiny. But, ask yourself; was this the result of your own deeply rooted dreams and intentions? Can we answer that question. Do we want to answer it.

Nourishing your Inner-Self

Our thoughts and emotions are always transmitting brain frequencies. Often we choose our friends and allies by subconsciously connecting with those that emit similar frequencies. On the other hand we have a hard time accepting or understanding others that transmit opposing brain frequencies. Authenticating these differences can only be achieved with deep thought and the penetration of one’s subconscious. There are many books on the subject of the subconscious with writings from great philosophers, theologians and even mystics.

By connecting the conscious to the subconscious we can fulfill our dreams and desires. Harnessing our brain frequencies can actually be achieved through deeply absorbing meditation.

Unharnessed Limitations

Modern science has introduced the theory of “Quantum Physics” to explain the results of human consciousness. This incredible thinking, that many believe to be true, turns the natural order of reality upside down. It’s fundamentals being that the behavior of nature can be described at and even below the scale of atoms. It is wonderous strange and we should all give this theory some attention and investigation. In quantum mechanics, particles have wavelike properties and each can be definable and tangible.

For most of us, the problem with quantum physics is that many of it’s concepts are difficult for us to visualize. Those without a college degree are less likely to understand the somewhat obscure mechanics and convoluted use of physics. A strong grasp of advanced mathematics and physics are essential to the field. It involves differential equations complex and abstract. Understanding the use of linear algebra and calculus can be quite daunting for most of us. However, it is not as difficult to understand as it is to connect to everyday experiences. It can prognosticate unimaginable phenomena and use this in a profound way to “KNOW” the future.

Credulous Beginnings

Knowledge is a powerful tool in the quest for perfection. The more you enrich your mind the easier it will be to determine what makes sense for you to apply to your everyday responsibilities. Mike Murphy, the author of “The Creation Frequency” teaches the art of harnessing the power of the universe to manifest your life’s dreams. This is an easy read full of practical advice and exercises you can use to ultimately ensure success.

Suggested Works

Here are some of my favorite books I’ve read through the decades. I was in sales most of my working years, so many of these publications helped me greatly. “I Never Played the Game” written by Howard Cosell, “How to $ell Anything to Anybody” by Joe Girard, “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, “You Become What You Think” by Shubham Kumar Singh and “Frequency” by Penny Peirce.

To expand your horizons on many of the topics I’ve written about here you should begin with any number of these works: “Quantum Entanglement and the Loss of Reality” by Thomas V. Marcella, “Quantum Physics for Beginners” by M.M. Gavillet, “Quantum Field Theory and Condensed Matter” by R. Shankar, “You are the Universe” by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and Menas C. Kafatos, PH. D., and “The Physics of Consciousness” by Ivan Antic.

A Note to my Followers

First, I’d like to sincerely thank all of you following my writings and I can assure you that it is you who inspire me. That being said, after the coming presidential election I will post a comprehensive “T*pster’s Outlook” on financial, as well as personal concerns for 2025 and beyond. Till then, keep reading, stay healthy and safe, expand your vision with new horizons and send me your personal feedback.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

        OPEN “AI”

 

Open “AI” will be present in every aspect of our daily lives within the next ten to twenty years. It will grow increasingly pervasive as difficulties and setbacks will make for an extremely challenging future to predict. Right now, “AI” is in constant flux. It is putting it’s fingerprints on almost every industry and the impact is still in question.

However, within these arears of concern: “Health Care”, Pharmaceutical”, “Banking”, “Transportation”, “Technology” and “Defense” there will be an incredible opportunity to ultimately prepare for and confidently invest in.

Research and Development

Take the time necessary to read and understand all you can about our changing world and it’s party to “AI”. The radical “AI” transformations to any industry will be the most significant and worthy of the closest looks.

As I’ve stated before, in previous blogs, it pays big dividends to join Investment Clubs, or have Financial Planners recommend individualized strategies designed specifically for you, based upon your risk tolerance and current situation. There are a growing number of FREE publications that cover a wide variety of topics and others solely dedicated to the growing “AI” explosion.

You can go online and read research reports from major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Fisher, Schwab, Fidelity and others. You can find free information on the internet with sites like “Market Beat”, “Gold Century Investing” and “System Trading”.

Ahead of the curve are inexpensive publications such as the Altucher’s Investment Network’s daily report called the “Altucher Confidential”. This publication is backed by decades of research, proven expertise and brilliant forecasting by the legendary James Altucher.  Behind the Markets is another Investment Club backed by founder and CEO, Dylan Jovine. It’s daily report is called “The Daily Revenue”. These reports are dedicated to providing readers with unique investment opportunities.

How to stay financially sound

Remember when investing in the stock market past results are never a guarantee of future returns. You might be worried about a market crash and sell holdings at a loss. Reversely, you might want to catch a ride on a soaring stock that puts you in a position of disastrous risk. If there is one thing history has shown us it’s that no one can consistently predict the market. With that being said, the experts I mentioned above with decades of documented results are undoubtedly the best ones to listen to. Always invest with funds that can be tied up indefinitely without putting any additional stress on your finances.

Recent Successes

I have had a tremendous last couple of years by investing in very specific information found through the Investment Clubs I mentioned here. For me, the “Defense Sector” and “Energy Sector” stocks gave me the biggest gains.

I believe when looking to invest in “AI” Stocks you should look to those companies that: (1) Lead the way in developing edge technology (2) Show a consistent growth in revenue (3) Are critical to the “AI” movement .

In the Defense Sector only invest in companies that have: (1) Breakthrough science technology (2) Defense contractors that already have pertinent contracts (3) Make sure congress has already budgeted the money for any written government contracts

My good fortune

The last stock I invested in has been touted as the “Crown Jewel” of “AI” Investments. This company is the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, (TSM) and is the largest and most respected semiconductor foundry in the world. They have created the fastest “AI” chip in the world and already secured multimillions in orders. Each of Nvidia’s Graphic Processing Units (GPU) uses one of these chips and sells for $40,000. The TSM chip is 30 times faster than it’s predecessor.

Learn more about the Crown Jewel of “AI” by joining one of the Investment Clubs mentioned above.

Final Word

“AI” super computers will re-write the global economy over the next decade. It will clearly power the world’s 4th Industrial Revolution. And, without question grow faster and larger than any before. Experts predict 3 to 5 times larger than the Internet.

Let’s Beat Inflation

Why, Where and How

With inflation soaring we need to find various ways to save. Why not get the best prices and even save thousands! Buying at the “right time” matters. Discount cards, buying club memberships, coupons, special sales or clearance sales are all worth taking advantage of during times of rising inflation.

If you believe you can predict the future then reading this article will have little to no significance to you. However, the Tipster knows one thing’s for certain: “The only way to keep up with inflation is to be prepared for whatever comes next.”

Over 40 Million Americans are living in poverty or simply one crisis away from adding to that number. Older adults make up the greatest population in crisis. Often, they can be overlooked by family and friends due to foolish pride and even concealment of their situation.

Help and Support

Those with the means should truly be looking to aid those in need. For older Americans many public and private foundations have been established through the years to offer monetary, informational and physical support.

For one, the AARP Foundation has been aiding and supporting a future without senior poverty for decades. In 2022, the AARP Foundation helped nearly 2 million older American save millions in taxes with critical and completely “FREE” volunteer-based tax preparation. This service was responsible for helping low income seniors secure nearly 1 billion in tax refunds and credits.

AARP’s “Tax-Aide” program was established in 1968 and has expanded through the decades with contributions from those with concern and the ultimate consideration to volunteer their services.

A second AARP program, begun fives years ago, is now helping more than 9 million Americans see if they qualify for property tax relief.

You can learn how you can help or find out if you qualify for a property tax refund at: aarpfoundation.org/thrive and aarpfoundation.org/propertytaxaide

Spending wisely 

Have you ever tried dining at an “All you can eat” buffet? If so, did you enjoy it?  Would you be inclined to do this more often or decline based on the food quality or a possible tendency to over indulge. What about considering eating family style or all inclusive verses ala carte.

Those who carefully manage their budget could save money when spending it wisely. Various price shopping clubs are inexpensive and memberships can lead to huge savings for larger families. Some clubs require buying in bulk so managing what and when you buy certain necessities can be critical to maximize savings. Perishables may be the hardest items to manage properly.

Staying financially healthy

During times of inflationary difficulties the hardest thing to do is tighten your spending when you’ve always been a giver to family and friends. Reining in the giving is so much more beneficial then it is imaginable.

Decisions like stop paying for a storage facility housing furnishings you haven’t used for years, or that no one can benefit from currently can yield benefits unthought about. Holding back the purchase of luxury items can be extremely helpful. Avoid panic about investments and retirement portfolios. Staying the course is often the best advice anyone can give. Do not skip or skimp on your health, mental and physical needs. Preventive medical care is quite often free or low cost and can save fortunes by catching possible problems before they ever occur. Picking up a paint brush, washing your car in your driveway and racking leaves on your lawn all can add monetary benefits that truly matter.

Spending on autopilot can be very costly and checking those auto debits during times of tremendous inflation can save hundreds of dollars. Keeping tabs on subscriptions can be easier than you think. Free apps such as “PocketGuard” and “Rocket Money” are offered through various banks and credit cards such as Chase and Capital One. They find things you might have forgotten about.

One of the more difficult things to do might be guarding against impulse buying. Even though the price of that leather jacket has been reduced, it might just be unnecessary and worth passing up right now!

Finally, protecting what you have is most critical here and now; and, it will always be regardless of the inflationary future. During times of need and monetary stress scammers devise damaging cleverly refined schemes to appropriate funds from unaware victims. There are various anti-fraud websites as well as state and federal programs helping people spot and avoid scams.

Fraud can look like an unsolicited call claiming you owe or are due money. A pop up message on your computer warning of a detected virus. Notification of a prize you won that has a minor shipping fee to claim it. An email or text message offering a huge discount on something you’ve been searching the web to find.

Remember, all you can do to protect yourself and your family may be to stop and think before acting upon anything.

Reporting possible fraud to your state and local law enforcement agencies can help prevent others from being victimized.

Practical wisdom

With age comes wisdom. Whoever coined the phrase was spot on. With that being said, during times of troubling inflation buying essentials is important and doing some homework to find the best way to do that is undoubtedly significant.

Just remember, patience and steadfast discipline will get you to the other side of trouble every time.

IT MAY BE TIME TO TAKE “F-L-I-G-H-T”

MORTALCOMBAT

Are you prepared for the next “WAR”?

One thing’s for certain, the war in Europe between Russia and Ukraine will be the last of it’s kind. Uncalculated death and destruction will not be the norm any longer. The future will bring an unfamiliar but completely deliberated essence to war.

That being said, is there only one story to the future? Who has made up this story and if it falls into the hands of anxious and immature adults can it be more destructive than good? Of course it has not been lived yet, but an educated mind can foresee many things yet to come. This blog is is not being written to convince or convert someone to a particular point of view or to suggest specific actions. Furthermore, it is not my intent to prepare us for either a dignified death or a dignified life. I’m actually looking to inspire and encourage thought provoking insights.

I don’t think older adults realize the strengths they have or the advantages gained from age and experiences. In many ways they are doing far better than younger people. Many of us do realize this; however, some forget the time for living is now and always will be.

Investigative research

21st century warfare will include a tremendous amount of manpower, knowledge, foresight and artificial intelligence. Can understanding this new concept for future wars lead us to a better life? In fact, it may be time to take flight, or better yet, time to take action. I believe the future of warfare will lead to tremendous opportunity for financial freedom.

“THE USE OF KILLER INSTINCT”                                                                         Undercover Spys

The Defense Sector

According to Dylan Jovine, CEO of “Behind The Markets” there are growing opportunities in today’s “Defense Sector” with a select group of companies that are currently rejuvenating the stock market.

For me, this means extensive research into those companies that show breakthrough scientific technology, have a head start into the development of artificial intelligence and most importantly have defense contracts with various branches of the military.

Imagine new technology from a company that can produce a missile which can travel over 25 times the speed of sound. That’s nearly 20,000 mph and over 90 miles per minute. But, that’s not all it can do. This missile can turn on a dime, change it’s course and be controlled remotely.

One such company is a small enterprise that has produced a “Hypersonic Missile” which has impressed our government and landed a sizeable grant to start mass production. More importantly, this company edged out larger enterprises such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and others. But the most significant thing they have done is contracted orders for their missiles from all four branches of the military.

A good place to begin researching this information for yourself is “Flight Global”, the global aviation community’s primary source of news, knowledge, insight, data and analytical expertise. There you will find the company I’m touting and perhaps expand your search to discover multiple opportunities with upside and promise to invest in. It is important to note that there will be various companies leading the way into the future of warfare. However, those backed by government funding and holding contracts from the military will most likely outperform the rest.

I believe the big winners in this sector will bring expanded “Artificial Intelligence” to ultimately defend future aggressions towards our homeland. There will also be the leader in “Drone Technology” getting huge government and military contracts.

The future will leverage decades of worldwide experience, world class engineering and a powerful development of highly innovative products.

“AI” = Artificial Intelligence

Today there is way too much hype about AI and, dangerously so when it comes to investing. Here are some well read syndicates quotes: Barron’s: “AI Stocks are soaring. It’s a feeding frenzy!” MarketWatch: “AI is dominating the action in the stock market right now.” yahoo!finance: “The AI Revolution is here: Will you be left behind?” Forbes: “Artificial Intelligence is going to change our world.”

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and even super investor Warren Buffett are all on board. Billionaire Mark Cuban said: “The world’s first trillionaire will be someone who can master AI.”

Important disclosure

Always keep your sights on the job at hand. Remember, investing involves substantial risks including and not limited to the possibility of the loss of principle. Past performance is never a guarantee of future results. You must always invest responsibly either by performing your own analysis or consulting with your personal licensed and registered financial advisors.

If you want to use your own judgment, investment clubs and syndications are the best way to find out generalized educational information about investing.

Counter-Culture

You can read a warning about “The Great Unraveling” taking place in this country. You can find this in a report titled: A National Divorce presented by Stansberry Research.

Wonder

Have you ever considered our relevance to the world we live in? Could it be we use this relevance in some way as a defense against stress, turmoil and anxiety? The issue here is whether we should be and can be more interested in the subject of our existence or our social existence. To understand that it is important in a historical continuum. Man has evolved with both a mental and spiritual development in regard to his place in history or his significance of what is yet to come.

For some of us uncertainty can lead to fear and anxiety. As I see it, the unknown can be approached as a process leading to deep thought and consideration. There is tremendous opportunity for open awareness, discussion and profound enlightenment.

Usefulness of awareness

Is it possible to master the art of awareness? I imagine anything is possible. And, this is why my life has been a series of questions and answers. Some of the answers I have come up with are not always correct, but asking the questions, for me, is extremely pertinent. Researching the answers is always compelling, enthralling, time consuming and sometimes easier said than done.

It is such a relief to dismiss questions by finding great knowledge, conceived ideologies and worldly views on just about any subject. So why not question every possibility…..?

$$$ FREE MONEY $$$

Is there such a thing as: “FREE” Money?

With the internet promoting anything and everything these days it’s incredibly difficult to know what’s real and what’s completely fluff, misleading or downright fraudulent.

The Government

With that being said, a good place to start looking for free money or money that you might be overlooking is the government. Uncle Sam and most likely your local state government have money for you to claim; but, they keep it mostly to themselves. Electric autos, solar power home conversions, IRA contributions and even in some states new windows or home insulation upgrades may earn you “Free” money.

Anchors Away

The State of New Jersey’s “Anchor” Program was designed to give rebates to property owners for taxes they paid through the year 2019. This program came out in late 2020 and was unknown to most New Jersians. In 2022 the Governor decided to put an end to this rebate and he assigned a final filing date set for January 31, 2023.

Suddenly, the word got around and over night thousands a day were, attempting to access the state’s property tax website to find out how to receive this gift of “Free” money. Sure enough, all hell broke loose and the website struggled.  Consequently, thousands of homeowners were frustrated for many anguishing days, weeks and months. The phone calls to Trenton were overwhelming; and, the Governor declared an extension to claim these benefits. The extension was set for February15th, 2023.

Truth is, this only extended the pain and suffering to the many deserving New Jersey homeowners that either never got the information they needed or gave up trying. Others got through the maze, only to find out they needed previous years tax returns to calculate and determine if they were eligible to receive the rebate money.

This kind of “Free” money puts the onus on the receiver to find their way through to the pot of gold.

Where you live Matters

Where you live can earn you “Free” money. There are 13 states that currently do not tax any retirement income and a few others that don’t tax pension income as well. Pennsylvania, would be one such state. No taxes on 401K, IRA or Pension distributions can add up to an awful lot of Free” money.

There are also five states that don’t have income taxes at all. The closest to New Jersey would be Tennessee or New Hampshire. A huge earner in these states has an enormous advantage over many other Americans.

Age also has its Advantages

2023 “Senior Benefits” are available in all states, but can vary in ages to qualify. 50+ is the minimum age required to apply for many of these benefit programs.

The federal government recently created a bill featuring multiple benefits for seniors. Huge monetary benefits for Health Care including: Telehealth, Behavioral and Mental Health provisions. Obviously, the pandemic has seen massive telehealth and urgent care surges. The effects of isolation and confinement created mental health issues more prominent than ever before.

Furthermore, now through 2024 a Medicare provision allows hospital care to treat qualified patients in their homes. This ends up freeing hospital beds to face any future uprising COVID issues.

Social Security and Retirement Savings also saw tremendous government monetary benefits created by this bill. The SSA was allocated over 14 billion, which was nearly 6% more than the previous fiscal year. Most Americans collecting Social Security saw the largest increase in their benefits in over a decade.

Unfortunately, the Social Security administration is still in crisis mode. It’s customer service floundering by virtue of years of underfunding and enormous losses in staff. Compared to a decade ago, it takes an average of 75% longer to get a claim for disability benefits processed.

As far as retirement savings go, new laws have increased the age from 72 to 73 at which time retired individuals must start taking deductions from private retirement accounts such as IRA’s, and 401k’s. There is also a plan to raise that age again in the year 2030 to 75.

In 2027 there will be an additional benefit of $1000.00 for lower to moderate income earners who contribute to qualified retirement plans.

Other benefits include raising limits on catch-up contributions to 401K and 403B accounts for all people ages 60 to 63. Finally, a new law requires employers to offer part-time employees to contribute to retirement plans after two years of employment.

 

Buy 1 Get 1 Free

 

Read the “Fine Print”

I love those infomercials that state, at the very end: “today with your order we’re going to add a second one free………..only pay a small fee”. Say WHAT???

The greatest sales pitch ever for “Free” money is: “Buy one get one free.” Now don’t get me wrong, this can be well worth taking advantage of. I’m just saying use some common sense and read the rules of engagement to each and every deal.

If you regularly buy a  large pizza for $15.00, but the pizza shop has a special $19.00 pie on Thursday’s, where if you buy one you can get a second one of a lower price free, it’s not really a buy one get one free is it? However, it may just be an additional $4.00 expense that makes sense to some.

Money – Phones – Internet

Free money, phones and internet lead the way of the most common sales hooks, creating a beneficial relationship to the company offering the “Free” whatever.

Banks can offer you “Free” money to open new accounts. These accounts will most certainly have deposit requirements and other demands like monthly direct deposits, minimum monthly balances and time restraints. Make sure you understand that any monetary benefits you gain from a financial establishment of any kind will come with a “1099S” at the end of the fiscal year.

Free phones will undoubtedly come with minimum service requirements and binding or restrictive contractual agreements. All that glitters is not gold.

Many internet offers can be extremely misleading and undeniably, way to complex to successfully interpret. Once again, if it seems to good to be true, it most likely is just that. Always read the fine print and any disclaimers.

Make Government live up to their often understated programs

Yes indeed, free internet may be available through the government. In fact, most states offer free government paid internet if you receive Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, Special Housing Assistance, Veterans Pension, Survivor Benefits, Lifeline and Tribal or reside in a household of at least two individuals with less than a yearly household income of $36,620. *Phones can also be included for a minimal one time fee.*

Advantage to the Advertiser 

Today, with just about any service you need, if you search hard enough, you will find the crew, firm, person or company that will offer you “Free” estimates, reviews, diagnostics or consultations attempting to land you as a client, customer, consumer or even something more.

Law firms are offering “Free” representation with no upfront costs; furthermore, only getting paid when they win a settlement for you.

Free reviews of your will, retirement portfolios, and many more services are being advertised to create new and expanding business for the advertiser.

There are even companies out there that will give you “CASH NOW” for your annuities that you can’t utilize yet, or insurance policies that currently have less of a cash value than they will offer you. These are the “Serpents” of the world preying on the monetary needs of others.

In Conclusion

Looking for “Free” money can be easier said than done. Finding the time and patience to pursue the search is never simple, often frustrating and almost always disappointing.

The truth is, when you read statements like: “apply in minutes from the comfort of your home” or, “just complete and submit the simple enrollment forms”, this may just be the beginning of your troubles. Even worse are those dreaded phone recordings that state: “Stay on the line for the next available agent.” Worse yet: “Leave a call-back number and the next available agent will call you back.”

However, with all that said, all that’s worth pursuing may certainly be worth the pursuit.

____*WARNING*____

Stay centered on your search and don’t give out any information to uninvestigated sites or portals. Never disclose passwords or personal account information without knowing the validity of the request and an appropriate reason to do so. Always properly identify and confirm safe sites. Remember, cyber crime is growing yearly, can be extremely ruthless in design and might even result in undetectable consequences. Keep safety in mind at all times.
