Something BETTER Than a Boom is Coming 

The man whose algorithm pinpointed the 2023-24 bull market – nailing the turning
point to within 2 months – has a new prediction. “2025 will be one of the best
years ever for investors,” he says. But he’s NOT predicting a bull market, AI
boom, or anything of the kind. Instead, he has a much more peculiar warning for
2025.

THE 3 RESOLUTIONS TO MAKE NOW FOR A WEALTHY 2025

Let's make some financial resolutions this year…

2d ago · January 2, 2025 By Eric Fry, Editor, Fry's Investment Report


Hello, Reader.

As cliché as it feels to make a New Year’s resolution, I believe they can be
helpful – especially for your finances.

It’s a new year, which means we’ll be encountering new opportunities, and
threats, in the market.

And in order to be more successful this year, I have three resolutions I suggest
making as we tread carefully into 2025… plus one groundbreaking AI opportunity
that could redefine how you invest.



Let’s dive in…


RESOLUTION NO. 1: ALLOCATE YOUR ASSETS WISELY

Consider the catastrophic losses suffered in the early 2000s by some employees
of Enron, who were encouraged to put most – or even all! – of their
401(k)-retirement savings in Enron stock.

These folks did not use “Intelligent Asset Allocation” — and they paid a heavy
price.

In the late 1990s, Wall Street considered Enron to be one of the world’s most
innovative companies. Its executives were the superstars of Corporate America,
and the Houston-based company received endless accolades.

In early 2001, all 15 Wall Street analysts who followed the stock rated Enron a
“Buy.” Meanwhile, the financial press also was heaping praise on the stock.

In August 2001, the Houston Chronicle lauded Enron as “a company with innovative
people who have shown they can turn ideas into profitable businesses.”

In its September 2001 issue, Red Herring magazine insisted: “Forget about
Microsoft. America’s most successful, revered, feared — and even hated — company
is no longer a band of millionaire geeks from Redmond, Washington, but a cabal
of cowboy/traders from Houston: Enron.”

"EVERYONE IS NOW TALKING ABOUT AI, BUT FEW HAVE THE FAINTEST GLIMMER OF WHAT IS
ABOUT TO HIT THEM. BEFORE LONG, THE WORLD WILL WAKE UP." – FORMER OPENAI
RESEARCHER, JUNE 2024

If we knew an alien spaceship was heading toward Earth... And we had a year
before it arrived… There’s no question — you would see the largest mobilization
and preparation effort in human history. And yet, when it comes to a stunning
new AI development… most people are burying their heads in the sand.

So listen carefully to the following conversation, AI Day One. You’ll learn
what’s at stake… how and why it’s happening… what to do next… And you’ll see why
you could have less than 1,000 days to make as much money as possible.

Click here for the full story on AI Day One.

 



Less than three months after Red Herring’s glowing endorsement, Enron filed for
bankruptcy. As its stock plummeted to zero, the “cabal of cowboy/traders” gained
infamy as some of the biggest fraudsters in American history.

The employees who bet everything on Enron were wiped out. When the company went
under, they didn’t just lose their jobs. They lost their savings, too.

It was easy to be taken in by all the hype surrounding Enron — and to be seduced
by the stock’s seemingly limitless promise and potential. It was easy to believe
that Wall Street and the financial media knew what they were talking about.

Enron seemed like a sure thing, especially to the folks who worked for this
high-flying success story. That’s why so many employees placed all of their
retirement savings in Enron stock. Their asset allocation was 100% Enron.

Not good.

If you devote a huge portion of your wealth to a single asset class — whether
it’s stocks, bonds, oil, gold, real estate, or whatever — you are financially
fragile. You expose yourself to serious harm.




RESOLUTION NO. 2: JUST SAY “NO”

To outperform the market, an investor must maintain the discipline of saying
“no” to bad risks… and then keep on doing that until good risks come along.

Marginal opportunities are what I call “bad risks,” or “asymmetrical risks.”
That’s when the potential upside is much smaller than the potential downside.

Here’s an extreme example to illustrate the concept…

Riding in a barrel over Niagara Falls for a $20 prize. If everything works out
perfectly, you win $20. If not, you perish.

Here’s another example…

Running red lights to get to Disneyland 10 minutes early. If everything works
out just right, you make it to the “Happiest Place on Earth” and have to wait 45
minutes instead of an hour for Space Mountain. Or you might get into a horrible
accident.

These examples of asymmetrical risk are so obvious that they seem ridiculous,
but many asymmetrical risks are less obvious.

Disciplined investors understand the dangers of these risks. That’s why they
begin their analysis by asking “What can go wrong?” rather than “What can go
right?”

Disciplined investors understand that investing is optional and that they must
be selective.



It’s OK to say “no” to bad risks. Unfortunately, many investors grow impatient.
We justify buying richly valued stocks by comparing them to stocks that are even
more richly valued. But it is still dangerous to buy stocks that are “less
risky.”

It’s no different than camping 40 feet away from a pride of lions because a few
other folks are camping only 20 feet away. You might wake up every morning 40
feet away from the lions, just like the morning before. But getting eaten is
also possible, if not probable.

Avoiding bad risks is the essential first step toward outperforming the market.


RESOLUTION NO. 3: STAY PATIENT

Eagle-eyed readers may recognize this example because I have mentioned it a
couple of times previously.

Let’s call this example “Stock X.”

If you had purchased Stock X 36 years ago (which is when the Bloomberg records
on it began), you would have endured the following setbacks…

 * 21% of the time, your stock would have produced an annual loss…
 * 7% of the time, your stock would have produced a three-year loss…
 * And on one occasion during those 30 years, your stock would have spent an
   entire decade producing a loss.



Think about that! How would you feel about holding a stock for an entire decade
without making one single penny on it?

If that stock had been “Stock X,” you might have been OK with that particular
setback.

“Stock X” is Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-A), the investment vehicle that made
Warren Buffett a multibillionaire… and made millionaires out of many ordinary
investors.

Berkshire produced its success over a multidecade span that included numerous
setbacks, or “slumps,” along the way.

It’s true.

If you had purchased Berkshire Hathaway 36 years ago and held that stock until
the present moment, you would have endured numerous rough patches. Based on
rolling 12-month calculations, BRK-A produced a negative annual return 21% of
the time.

But those uncomfortable one-year episodes would have seemed like a day at the
beach compared to the nearly 11-year stretch from June 1998 to March 2009 when
BRK-A produced a loss!

One decade is a very long time to wait for a payday. It’s a very long time to be
wondering why you hadn’t done something else with your money. Anything else.



And yet, during the last 36 years, combined, Berkshire shares have delivered a
staggeringly large return of more than 18,000%!

During the identical timeframe, the S&P 500 index produced a total return of
about 3,900%. In other words, BRK-A produced more than four times the gains of
the S&P 500!

Berkshire’s extraordinary investment results would not have been possible
without a long-term time horizon. As Warren Buffett himself famously explained,
“Our favorite holding period is forever.”

No one wants to endure a 10-year slump of zero returns. In fact, no one wants to
spend any time at all losing money. But that’s an unavoidable part of the
investment process.

But without patience, a wonderful business will never deliver a wonderful stock
market gain. Some things are worth waiting for.

However, you won’t have to wait any longer to find incredible stocks worth
investing in… especially AI stocks.

My InvestorPlace colleagues Louis Navellier, Luke Lango, and I recently put our
heads together and told folks about our brand-new AI Appliers Portfolio during a
special broadcast. The portfolio is made up of stocks that could skyrocket from
AI Day One.

AI Day One will be a “phase shift” in artificial intelligence. Without getting
too into the weeds, it will involve the development of AI with much deeper,
deliberate reasoning abilities.



And it will make it much easier for companies – high tech and not – to apply AI
to their business models and create huge efficiencies… and profits.

Now, this new opportunity before AI Day One is so fast moving that things can
change quickly. The reality is that we don’t know exactly what the world will
look like in a year or two; but we do know that AI is moving faster than
anything before it.

That is why it is important that you prepare yourself now.

So, to learn more about our handpicked favorite AI stocks, I invite you watch
our special broadcast and to learn more about our AI Appliers
Portfolio.
