[Energy and Capital logo] What the Crow Knows About Investing [Luke Burgess Photo] By [Luke Burgess]( Written Aug. 16, 2019 This is Corvus brachyrhynchos — better known to you and me as the American crow. To most people, crows are nuisance birds. They're loud, squawking pests that tear open residential trash bags left on the curb for pick-up. And when they're not making a mess of your curb, they're out in farmers' fields eating their crops — hence the scarecrow. But the crow is very special among birds. Crows are extremely intelligent. In fact, they're one of the most intelligent animals on the planet. Analyst: "All hell is about to break loose" What you do in the next few days could determine your financial destiny for the rest of your life. The same forces that have triggered every financial boom and bust in our lifetimes are forming a powerful supercycle that will rip through the world economy. Don’t disregard this warning. [Take a moment now to get the details]( on the terrifying new stock market ahead and learn why we’re in for a 60-month long rollercoaster ride through hell. National Geographic reports that the cognitive abilities of crows rival chimpanzees and gorillas. Studies have shown that crows have the cognitive problem-solving skills of a seven-year-old human. They are the only animal other than primates that use tools. Not only can they use tools, but some crow species can make tools. Crows can solve multi-step problems to achieve their goal, such as getting a piece of food. In one test, a crow completed an eight-step puzzle to receive a food reward. Crows also have an extremely good memory. Tests have shown crows can recognize and remember individual human faces, particularly those they associate with danger, like a farmer with a shotgun. The crow has even been shown to exhibit what's called “theory of mind.” This is the ability to acknowledge that other beings are self-aware and that they have desires or intentions. A crow will not bury its food if the bird knows you're watching it. But perhaps the most impressive thing about crows is why they bury food: They're investing. Yes, the crow is even a wise and active investor. Have you heard of these Superpower Checks? $1,818 each This is news to most Americans... but Congress unanimously approved a program that’s sparked a $270 billion spending spree across America. Part of this spending is required to be paid out to everyday Americans in the form of these American Superpower Checks. You could collect up to 24 per year — each worth $1,818 or more.

And in a few days, there will be maggots — fresh, juicy, delicious maggots. So when the crow goes back to retrieve the bounty, it gets the original meat it already had and has doubled the meal with the maggots. It gets the principal plus interest! The crow is a part-time investor whose operation, upon thorough analysis, seeks safety of principal and an adequate return. Benjamin Graham would be proud. The crow will continue being a nuisance bird to you. But it's the crow's intelligence that makes it a worthy opponent. And we should take note what our little opponent is doing right: He's investing wisely. Crows are pretty threatening birds. Anyone who's seen the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds can attest to that. A group of crows is even called a “murder.” Seems like they could take some extreme risks. But they don't. They invest safely in the right places looking for a decent return. And they get it. It's a lesson of nature we should understand: Invest wisely. Until next time, [Luke Burgess Signature] Luke Burgess P.S. There's one specific market we think is the wisest right now: 5G. And that's simply because 5G isn't really something anyone is going to be able to choose. Sooner or later, 5G will be the standard, replacing all previous technology like the computer replaced the typewriter. Chris DeHaemer has found a small group of companies that control a major share of the infrastructure space that 5G networks are going to need. He says these companies control some 80% of the space major cell carriers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and others are clamoring to get their hands on. DeHaemer says, “It's like they have a monopoly on the hottest real estate of the 5G future.” [Check out a recent report DeHaemer published on this opportunity here.]( A couple weeks ago, I was at a friend’s barbecue in Colorado. When asked what I’d like to drink, I said a beer, of course. My friend laughed and said he’d give me something better. He came back and handed me a typical-looking beer bottle. But then I cracked it open. It is now my new favorite drink... You see, this isn’t a typical bottle of beer. Beer companies are taking it to the next level with cannabis. Even companies like Coca-Cola are dabbling in the cannabis market. And there are five cannabis stocks that are prime targets in this industry.
