Thank You for Your Service, Veterans 🫡

Our veterans ensured America remained "the land of the free." But nowadays, does it remain "the home of the brave"? [Shield] AN OXFORD CLUB PUBLICATION [Liberty Through Wealth]( [View in browser]( SPONSORED [XRI: The #1 Investment of the Decade]( Could [this new technology]( spark the biggest investment boom since the internet? Barron's says it's "going to be really, really big." Apple's CEO says that it is one of those "very few profound technologies that we will look back on one day and say, 'How did we live our lives without it?'" While one early investor in Facebook, Twitter and Uber says, "This is the first time that technology has made me feel this excited since I was first introduced to the internet in 1994." It's a technology one guru calls "XRI" that could be the biggest mega-trend of this decade... [And he believes one company is at the center of it all...]( EDITOR'S NOTE Happy Veterans Day! Today, we share our appreciation for those who have dedicated their lives and those who sacrificed their lives to keep America the "land of the free." This recognition is more important than ever. As Alexander Green details in today's article, negative media and academia have made Americans feel pessimistic about the country, scared of the future and afraid to invest. Defending your country takes guts! So thank you to all past and present members of the armed forces for your service. We know this is a turbulent time in the markets - especially given this week's election. [In this article]( Alex shares his advice on how you should position your portfolio.

His goal? To get more people to recognize that the United States is a noble and honorable nation. He has his work cut out for him... A poll commissioned last year by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation found that the majority of respondents in 53 countries view the U.S. as a bigger threat to democracy than Russia or China. With graphic images of the war in Ukraine filling screens worldwide, I'd like to believe those results might look a little different today. Yet that poll underscores just how effective the global press and educational institutions have been in [undermining the United States](. Do we have a flawed history, like all nations? Absolutely. Have we made plenty of mistakes? You bet. Yet academia and the mainstream media promote the idea that our faults and shortcomings define us. That's why you regularly hear the U.S. characterized as a racist, sexist, imperialist nation notable [not for its widespread prosperity but for its economic inequality](. SPONSORED [This could literally save your retirement]( [The Prophet]( The man CNBC called "The Prophet" says he'd put 50% of his kid's college fund in this stock. [He reveals the name and the ticker symbol here...]( This view - that the U.S. is no better than other countries and often worse - has even emanated from the highest office in the land. Asked early in his presidency whether he believed in American exceptionalism, Barack Obama responded... I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. Talk about damning with faint praise. When campaigning for office, Donald Trump often took a declinist tone and pledged to "Make America Great Again." Democrats could have effectively countered that America still is great. Instead, they took the opposite tack. In a speech, then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo retorted, "We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great." Since our politicians and public schools fail us, let me offer some remedial education... Our nation's founding was revolutionary, not in the sense of replacing one set of rulers with another but in placing political authority in the hands of the people. Our Declaration of Independence is a timeless statement of human rights, the true purposes of government and the limits of political authority. Our core beliefs are enshrined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the longest-serving foundation of liberty in history. Our military is the primary defender of the free world. The U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency. We are the global leader in technological innovation. (The telephone, the television, the airplane and the internet were all invented here. So were blood transfusions, heart transplants and countless vaccines.) If we are no different from other Western democracies, why were transformative companies like Apple, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, Netflix, Snap, PayPal, Tesla, Uber, Moderna and Airbnb - to name just a few - all founded here? The U.S. leads the world in science, engineering, medicine, entertainment and the arts. Since 1950, approximately half of all Nobel Prizes awarded in the science fields have gone to Americans. We have the best hospitals, universities and businesses on the planet, as well as the widest, deepest and most transparent capital markets. Americans make up just 4.3% of the world's population, yet we create nearly 30% of its annual wealth. Our economy is No. 1 by a huge margin. (It is larger than Nos. 2 and 3 - China and Japan - combined.) No nation attracts more immigrants, more students or more foreign investment capital. We are the most charitable people on Earth, both in the aggregate and per capita. American ingenuity has created dramatic improvements in communications, transportation, manufacturing, computing, retailing, food production, construction, healthcare, finance, pharmaceuticals, robotics, sensors, artificial intelligence, genetics, 3D printing and dozens of other industries. These have benefited citizens not just here but all over the world. I'm not suggesting that other nations don't have proud histories, unique traditions or beautiful cultures. But people around the globe don't talk about the French Dream or the Chinese Dream. Only one nation is universally recognized as the land of opportunity. That's because America cultivates, celebrates and rewards the [habits that make men and women successful](. [Our free-market, merit-based society]( allows anyone with ambition and grit to move up the economic ladder, regardless of their circumstances. Yes, we have room for improvement. We will always have to work hard to live up to our ideals. But the U.S. is an extraordinary nation that offers the world a timeless set of values, an optimistic can-do attitude and an enthusiastic endorsement of the pursuit of happiness. These are facts, not an opinion. But how do you square them with the results of a more recent poll? Quinnipiac University asked 1,374 American adults, "What would you do if you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, stay and fight or leave the country?" Astonishingly, a majority of Democrats (52%) said they would leave the country. And 25% of Republicans also said they would flee. This wasn't a select group of pacifists and conscientious objectors, mind you. This was the majority of Democrats and a quarter of Republicans saying they would cut and run rather than defend their homes and neighborhoods. "Making matters worse," wrote Wall Street Journal editor Matthew Hennessey, "the 52% had the option to lie. It would have cost them nothing to say, ‘Yeah, I'm a patriot. I'll stay and fight.' That suggests they put antipathy toward their country above the near-universal human impulse not to look like a quisling." For years, I've argued that relentless negativity from academia and the media misinforms and unduly frightens Americans, making them pessimistic about the country, scared of the future and afraid to invest. Now we're learning that it's had an even more corrosive effect, one that jeopardizes not just your financial goals but our national security. America remains "the land of the free." But is it still "the home of the brave"? Only in some quarters, apparently.
