Ray Blanco has had a hot hand all year. These are my favorite four picks. July 17, 2024 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( These Stocks Made So Much Money! SEAN
RING Dear Reader, This will be a short edition of the Rude. That’s because [I want you to watch this critical video on Paradigm Press’ YouTube Channel](. I sat with my good friend, tech expert, and retirement savior, Ray Blanco. Ray’s picks this year have been breathtakingly good. When you measure a stockpicker’s returns, it’s essential to remember two legendary investor takes. The first take is from George Soros, the greatest trader ever, before he started doing his Ernst Stavros Blofeld impersonation. Soros once said, “It’s not whether you’re right or wrong, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.” Ray has shot the lights out with his winning picks and the ones that haven’t cost little capital. The second is Charlie Munger, who once said, “It’s remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us [Warren Buffett and Munger] have gained by consistently avoiding stupidity rather than trying to be overly intelligent.” You do NOT need to understand the science behind tech and biotech stocks to profit from them. Leave that to Ray. You can see how lost I am in this video when Ray enthusiastically spews his incredible inventory of scientific knowledge. I’ve got no idea what he’s talking about. As the Aussies say, “I’ve got a face like a beaten favorite.” It’s ok. Ray’s got us. I’ve listed the four stocks below, with their charts, so you can follow along with the video. VKTX Ray recommended VKTX when it was trading at around $11. I bought it then and watched it rocket to $99 before falling off the pace. I eventually sold my position at about $78. That’s a seven-bagger, or a 600% return! Ray’s pick changed the landscape of my retirement, and I’ll forever be grateful. And who knows, this stock may have more to offer in the future. We might just get back in at a later date. IBRX ImmunityBio was another great pick of Ray’s. I doubled my money in this stock. [Secret Gold Back currency RUINING Bidenâs plans for a digital dollar?]( There is a secret currency thatâs beginning to spread across America. You only have a limited time to claim one of these âGold Dollarsâ for yourself. Youâll receive one of these [âGold Dollarsâ as a FREE gift]( once you upgrade your account⦠[Click Here To Watch This Short 2 Minute Video]( ASTS Disclosure: I still own ASTS and have no intention of selling anytime soon. Ray told me about this stock when it was trading at $2.50, and I waited for it to move. Unfortunately, it moved so quickly in eight days that my buy price was $9.45! Despite my awful entry price, I’m currently up over 45%. I’m targeting a $35 price for this stock, though I think it can run into the triple digits in the next 18 months. NNE Disclosure: I still own this stock and have no intention of selling it anytime soon. The world needs nuclear energy, and this stock has it. Again, I got in well after Ray recommended the stock ($13.10), yet I’m still up 72.24%! This could be another multi-bagger winner.

RING The Once and Future President still has the rub of the green at the beginning of this week. First and foremost, he survived, much to our collective relief. Then, a Florida judge Trump nominated to the bench threw out his classified docs case because she ruled the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith unconstitutional. Next, Trump won the Republican coronation… I mean, nomination, of course. Finally, he named Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. Let’s take each of these in turn. Classified Documents Case Thrown Out Judge Aileen Cannon threw out the case against Trump. Cannon dismissed the case because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violated the Appointment Clause of the United States Constitution. It’s a beautiful thing. The indictment never should’ve happened anyway. [On Truth Social, The Donald wrote]( As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again! Smith said he would appeal the decision. My guess is that the case will stay dead. The Republican Coronation In absolutely no surprise at all, The Donald will sit atop the Republican ticket this November. But it wasn’t a surprise RFK Jr. pick for Vice President some were still hoping for. Personally, I’d have liked to see General Mike Flynn’s loyalty to Trump be rewarded with a place on the ticket. It was never going to be Nikki Haley: too many infidelity stories to combat. I didn’t think “Little” Marco Rubio had a chance. Now, it’ll be Ohio Senator J.D. Vance’s job to make sure it’s unattractive to take another shot at the future President.

[Click Here For The Full Story]( J.D. Vance Becomes Trump’s Assassination Insurance Trump-Pence. Trump-Vance. It has a better ring to it as if The Donald is on the march. J.D. Vance was born in Middletown, Ohio, on August 2, 1984. Raised in a working-class family, Vance's upbringing was marked by economic hardship and familial instability, themes he would later explore in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. He attended Middletown High School, where he was an average student but known for his determination. Because of his outrage over 9/11, Vance enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps after high school, serving in Iraq with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. His time in the military instilled in him a sense of discipline and a broader perspective on the world. He says this period shaped his future ambitions. Following his military service, Vance pursued higher education at The Ohio State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy, graduating summa cum laude. He then attended Yale Law School. At Yale, he met his mentor, Professor Amy Chua, who encouraged him to write about his experiences growing up in a struggling Rust Belt town. In 2016, Vance published Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller and garnered significant attention for its candid and poignant exploration of white working-class Americans' socio-economic challenges. Hillbilly Elegy was praised for its raw honesty and its insightful commentary on the struggles of the Rust Belt, and it was later adapted into a film directed by Ron Howard. Before entering politics, Vance was a principal at Mithril Capital, a venture capital firm co-founded by Peter Thiel. He later founded his venture capital firm, Narya Capital, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vance's business ventures concentrated on investing in Midwestern startups, highlighting his commitment to revitalizing the region. Vance's foray into politics was influenced by his desire to address the systemic issues he witnessed growing up. In 2022, he announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Ohio, running as a Republican. His campaign focused on economic revitalization, combating the opioid crisis, and advocating for conservative values. Vance's platform resonated with many Ohioans who felt left behind by the political establishment. Vance won the Senate seat in the 2022 midterm elections, marking the beginning of his legislative career. As a senator, he advocated policies to foster economic growth in distressed communities, improve healthcare access, and address the nation’s addiction crisis. His stance on various issues reflects a blend of traditional conservative principles and a commitment to addressing working-class Americans' unique challenges. J.D. Vance is married to Usha, an accomplished attorney he met at Yale. The couple have three children—the middle of whom is named Vivek, after their famous Yale classmate—and resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vance often speaks about the importance of family and community, which are central to his personal and professional life. Senator J.D. Vance's journey from a troubled upbringing to becoming a U.S. Senator is a testament to his resilience and determination. His life story has inspired many, and his work focuses on bridging the gap between America's socioeconomic divides. As a public figure, Vance remains committed to advocating for policies that uplift and support the working-class communities he has long championed. He’s also a converted Catholic. This is a significant factor that many may not fully appreciate. If President Trump were taken out, you’d have the first genuinely Catholic president since Kennedy. (Biden is an atheist born into Catholicism, but he’d never admit it.) Trump knows this, and it makes assassination an unattractive tool to change policy. Wrap Up What a start to the week for President Trump! Last week, he dodged a real bullet. This week, he dodged his biggest legal bullet. He won the Republican nomination uncontested. And he got his man for VP. It’s an incredible run for the world’s most resilient man. I eagerly await his speech on Thursday. All the best, Sean Ring
