The Trade That Crashed the Party

The Trade That Crashed the Party

In 1951, two comics named Dennis the Menace launched.

One in the U.S. and another in the U.K.

Both starred a slingshot-wielding troublemaker. Same name, same character, same month.

Weird thing is…

There was zero communication between the two creators.

They lived in different countries, worked in different media, and published within days of each other, completely independently.

This is a textbook case of simultaneous discovery:

When the same idea pops up in different minds, in different places, at the same time—without collaboration.

It happens more than you might think.

For example:

In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev said the periodic table came to him in a dream. That same year, Julius Lothar Meyer published nearly the same table—independently, in another country.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray filed for the telephone on the exact same day, despite working on it independently and with no contact. (Bell got there first by just a few hours… the rest is history.)

In the 1930s, Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain built the jet engine—separately, without contact, in different countries. Both machines took flight within a decade.

The same happened with the discoveries of oxygen and calculus. With photography. With sunspots. With Neptune.

Different people. Different places. Same idea. Same time.

And, in 2025, it just happened again…

Not in a lab. Not in a university.

But here, at Paradigm.

The Trade That Crashed the Party

Three of our top experts—Jim Rickards, James Altucher, and Enrique Abeyta—have all gone “all in” on the same exact stock.

They didn’t coordinate. They didn’t compare notes.

They just followed the signal using completely different strategies—and landed in the same place.

This kind of convergence doesn’t happen often.

In fact, it’s only happened twice before at Paradigm.

The first was Palantir.

All three analysts independently flagged it…

Back when it was a shadowy data company.

Within 18 months, it became the top-performing stock in the S&P 500. Paradigm’s official position? Up 820%.

The second was MP Materials—the only rare earth mine in the U.S.

Paradigm issued the buy. Two weeks later? The trade closed for a 918% gain.

Those two setups were rare.

And this one? Even rarer.

Because the conditions are bigger, the catalyst is clearer, and the alignment is stronger than we’ve ever seen.

And they’re "all in."

One calls it wildly undervalued. Another says it’s“mission critical. And the third? Sees a generational breakout waiting to happen.

When three independent minds with different strategies and backgrounds all bet on the same trade—it’s not hype.

It’s signal.

Stay tuned for more on what to expect tomorrow.
