A Million-Dollar Mastermind

It’s the early 1900s.

A time of smoky rooms, telegraph machines clicking away, and men in black suspenders yelling out numbers.

The air smells of ink, cigars, and overdue rent.

Bucket shops—unregulated, wild, and cutthroat—were where fortunes could be made or lost in an afternoon.

Young traders hovered over ticker tapes like gamblers at a racetrack, chasing the next big move.

A guy named Jesse Livermore, with nothing but his wits and a few dollars, stood ready to shoot his shot.

The thing about Livermore, though…

He wasn’t your typical trader.

He wasn’t there to play the market—he was there to master it.

And if you know anything about Jesse Livermore, you know that’s exactly what he did.

He became such a stock savant, he was known around town as “The Boy Plunger.”

Stories about him today are almost mythical.

Legend has it that Livermore could walk into a room, glance at a stock ticker, and predict what was going to happen next…

Down to the cent.

Over his career, he transformed a modest grubstake into a jaw-dropping fortune that most only dream of—proof that with the right moves, even crumbs can turn into castles.

Now, picture a modern-day Livermore, staring at the market with the same intensity and hunger…

I know only a handful of them.

One of them? Davis Wilson.

As you know, Davis joined us a few weeks ago and has been gracing these digital leaves ever since.

But what you might not know: Davis has been on a mission.

I've seen it, James has seen it, and we’re both on board.

That’s why…

In less than a week, he’ll kick off something that’s been quietly building, and you’ll want to be there when it all clicks into place.

It’s a journey that’s definitely going to get people talking.

And, as a loyal Altucher Confidential reader, you’re going to get a FREE front row seat.

Stay tuned. More details to come.

For now, let’s hear from the man himself -- and see what’s going on in the battle heating up between AMD and Nvidia.

Read on.

Tether in Venezuela: Built for the Burst

The U.S. isn’t defending dollar dominance the old way anymore. It’s letting the swarm do the distribution while it controls the hatch. That’s strangely bullish for crypto.
