And I want to help everyone get through this because I’ve been investing since 1999, since the age of 12.

Because within 4 months of the bottom…ZEUS was up $1 million. My gut, after 13 years as a professional analyst and 26 years of investing experience, was wrong…dead wrong. When I look back on that $1.3 million potential mistake, here is what I realize. There was no “dip” to get back in on. My confidence in my own advice and writing would have been shattered. The ZEUS fund would have been crippled. There would be no GNG today. Everything I had been working towards for 12 years would have died…on April 8th…had I not made a Ulysses pact with Chat GPT😉…of course, today we know that’s ridiculous😂…because Claude 4.6 Opus is the best AI to “tie yourself to the mast” with🤣. The Proof I Know What I’m Doing (Despite My Delightful Humor😉) Including dividends, the average 12-month total return 19.6% since 2016 vs 14% S&P...Using nothing but fundamentals and rules-based investing.
