In full disclosure, I am an investment advisor, and I practice what I preach. I have a method that I believe works, but as every compliance officer will remind you, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. At the end of this podcast, you will hear the full disclaimer, and I encourage you to listen carefully. But let me set the stage for where I am coming from. I favor large, well-capitalized companies over small speculative ones. I focus on megatrends, not on flipping stocks,

Blades, Bullets, and the Trump Doctrine: Why Republicans Bleed for AmericaFrom the guillotines of Revolutionary France to the assassination of Lincoln, the shooting of Reagan, and the near-death of Trump, history shows that Republicans have paid the highest price for keeping America free. Murder rates drop when strong leadership enforces law and order, and if we want this nation to survive the next storm — at home or abroad — we need leaders with the backbone to do what must be done, no

Rough Show NotesIntroductionThis is a long-form podcast, and if you’ve listened to me before, you know I don’t do this to entertain. I do it to inform, to bring back history, to connect the dots, and to speak the plain truth that so many are too afraid to say out loud. Tonight, I will talk about the brutal murder of a young woman from Ukraine — Iryna Zarutska (phonetically: Ear-ree-nah Zah-root-ska). She fled a war zone, came here legally, did everything right, and was still slaughtered on

September 8, 2025 - Rough DraftI am an investment and wealth advisor and manager. And you may think of this as a profession but for me, it’s a lifestyle. You see, I have a phrase that I’ve used my entire life, and it goes like this: “I am a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle.” But what is a profession? Is what I do a soft and chair-based profession? No, not one bit. In truth it is a sport that involves all aspects of the Seven Components of Wealth and Status. And yes, like a

You retire, and life is good. Maybe you are traveling, enjoying your mornings without an alarm clock, or simply savoring the reward of decades of hard work. Then life throws a curveball. A son or daughter loses a job, goes through a divorce, struggles with alcohol, or faces something more devastating like a disability. Suddenly, they are back at your doorstep, moving in. Your retirement lifestyle, the independence you earned, feels like it is slipping away. You love your family, but their

10 Final Summary and Call to ActionOver the course of this series, we have focused on the U.S. Army and its next generation of weapon systems—hypersonics, precision strike missiles, drones, smart munitions, electronic warfare, and layered defenses like Typhon. These are not short-term projects. They are long-term contract systems, designed to deliver capability to the battlefield for decades and steady revenue to the companies that build them.But in order to put these systems into

Now we must turn to the most pervasive battlefield of all: economic warfare. In today’s interconnected world, economics is not just a background factor—it is the frontline.

8So far, we have moved from the visible—the hypersonics, drones, and strike systems—to the invisible, where electronic warfare and lasers dominate. But war is not just about missiles, signals, and combat vehicles. It is also about what keeps societies running. Infrastructure is both the target and the weapon in modern conflict.

Now, we turn to something less visible but just as critical: electronic warfare and directed energy weapons. These are the systems that operate on the invisible

2Envisioning the ScenarioNow, before I get into a few of the Army’s weapons systems, I want you to envision the following scenario. This is not fiction. It actually happened and it had our firm and me in particular, on a level of extreme focus and attention, and let’s just say, a lot of time was spent on preparing to rapidly adjust equity portfolios in the event of what I will tell you about, being the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The first thing I want to point out is the extreme difference between basic, everyday chips that run household devices and the high-end chips that power artificial intelligence and advanced
