| Hello Reader, As you may know, at this year’s Strategic Investment Conference (SIC), speakers covered a variety of the most pressing topics in the markets and geopolitics. Energy, the implications of the war in Ukraine, inflation, the future of growth stocks… our faculty engaged SIC attendees on every important issue in the world today. According to the survey results we’ve received from attendees, the primary topic attendees wanted more information on (and also wanted to be featured in next year’s SIC) was cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. As chance would have it, just prior to the SIC, Stephen McBride, Chief Analyst at our marketing partner RiskHedge, began plans for a live “town hall”-style event to discuss the current state of the crypto markets, what his research has identified as the opportunities ahead, and even a review of ways to earn yield from select cryptos. We understand this may not be for everyone. Stephen himself, in fact, plans to be very clear that crypto speculation doesn’t match every risk profile during his town hall event tomorrow at 1:00 pm Eastern time. If you’d like to learn more, and even sign up to attend Stephen’s event (there is no purchase required or cost to attend Stephen’s town hall)—simply click here and enter your email address. Thank you for reading. The Mauldin Economics Team |
