Doc's Legacy

Last chance to hear Dr. David 'Doc' Eifrig's new message... A convergence of massive trends... Get up to speed... The ECB cuts rates... A kitty roars again... A timeless Yogism... [Stansberry Research Logo] Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 [Stansberry Digest] Last chance to hear Dr. David 'Doc' Eifrig's new message... A convergence of massive trends... Get up to speed... The ECB cuts rates... A kitty roars again... A timeless Yogism... --------------------------------------------------------------- First up today, a public service announcement... Tonight is your last chance to hear our friend and Stansberry Research senior partner Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig's updated message about what he describes as his legacy… Doc is talking about a prediction he made two years ago, which in and of itself is notable, since Doc doesn't really like to make predictions... It was about how a $4 trillion industry was about to be transformed... how it would happen... and why this upheaval of one of America's largest sectors would touch millions of people in ways that "go way, way beyond money," namely their physical health. Doc detailed the types of companies that would be best positioned to take advantage of this convergence of massive trends, and showed how investors could profit. In short, Doc believed AI would play a huge role in transforming the health care industry. This was well before chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) or any other chip stock became linked to the AI boom. Two years later, AI stocks like Nvidia have soared. But Doc says there's still the opportunity for big winners as the story he described two years ago unfolds. However, time is running out. That's why Doc's back with a [new update to his message](. You see, the window for opportunity will only be open for a little while longer... I'm all but certain that this is the last time I'll ever get to talk about this while it still matters so much for your money. And no matter how much you could profit from what I'm about to show you, I'm still underselling it. Because what's really at stake is not your money, but your life. Your actual, physical life – how many years you'll get... and how much you'll get to actually enjoy it. If you're unfamiliar with Doc, he's a rare breed... a former Goldman Sachs trader turned board-eligible eye surgeon who eventually found a home writing for Stansberry Research. When Doc goes public like this, we pay close attention... We recommend you do, too. For example, back in 2021, Doc warned that conventional 60/40 portfolios would soon face trouble in a period of high inflation and interest rates... a "retirement wake-up call," as he described it. As Doc wrote [in a June 2021 Digest](... Many people simply expect that the 60/40 portfolio will keep making a "safe" 7% or 8% annual return in the years ahead... But that's based entirely on the faulty premise that the returns of the past 30 years will continue in the future. And the thing is, we're already seeing the conventional wisdom might be outdated... It would have been wise to listen. In 2022, the 60/40 portfolio had one of its worst years in decades, which scared many folks out of the market. Again, this is just one example. Doc has covered countless ideas, trends, and stocks over 16 years, with some of the highest returns in our company history, that we could talk about... We could also talk about Doc's consistently high grades in our annual Report Card of our editors. But today, Doc says he's uniquely qualified to tell this story about the transformation of the health care industry – and its potential impact on your health and wealth. This work is something that he says "will be my legacy"... I stepped forward to explain why my decades of experience in both health care and investing put me among a handful of people on Earth uniquely positioned to tell this story. That's why I said this would be my legacy. Nearly 700,000 people heard what I had to say [in 2022]... and the ones wise enough to act on my recommendations since then would have grown their money by as much as 115%. Many others didn't care... or ridiculed my predictions. But as you'll see in the next few minutes, everything I talked about that day has been proven astonishingly correct, except faster and more dramatically than anyone imagined possible... Doc's new video will be online through midnight tonight. So catch it before it's too late... [Click here for all the details](. (Stansberry Alliance members and Doc's Prosperity Investor subscribers have access to all the details already [here](. Moving on to today's developments... As we said would likely happen, the European Central Bank ("ECB") cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points this morning, making this its first interest rate cut since 2019, including during periods of pandemic stimulus and 40-year-high inflation. As the ECB put out in a statement... Based on an updated assessment of the inflation outlook, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission, it is now appropriate to moderate the degree of monetary policy restriction after nine months of holding rates steady. Since the Governing Council meeting in September 2023, inflation has fallen by more than 2.5 percentage points and the inflation outlook has improved markedly. That said, there are concerns in Europe (like in the U.S.) about "sticky" inflation. And ECB President Christine Lagarde didn't commit to future rate cuts, like those interested in future plans would like to hear. But with the Bank of Canada lowering rates yesterday (also for the first time since 2019) and the Swiss and Swedish central banks doing the same earlier this year, you can see where the monetary policy string-pullers are leaning these days. Jerome Powell's waiting on deck. A roaring kitty... In other news, shares of video-game retail chain GameStop (GME) rose 47% today after Keith "Roaring Kitty" Gill scheduled a YouTube livestream for Friday. Gill's livestreams helped make him Internet famous back in 2020 and started the retail groundswell for GameStop shares... eventually leading to the widespread "meme stock" movement that peaked in early 2021. So, if we're using the brief history of meme stocks as an indicator, this could be the start of a renewed market froth for heavily shorted companies like GameStop or whatever else the "crowd" latches onto. Quote of the week... Thanks to those who wrote in to encourage the "quote of the week." We got enough replies to keep it going, like this note from subscriber Jim K., who inspired this week's edition. Jim wrote in a few days ago... Thanks for your insight, Corey. I do like the quotes of the week. I personally keep a Word document of quotations I particularly like. But I have to tell you that I also saved some Yogisms. Naturally, this sent me to Google to look up "Yogisms." That is, famous quotes attributed to the late former New York Yankees catcher and manager Yogi Berra. Lorenzo Pietro Berra was born to Italian immigrants in St. Louis. He got the nickname "Yogi" from a childhood friend who thought he resembled a cross-legged person who practiced yoga in India (otherwise known as a "yogi"). Berra, who played 19 seasons for the Yankees and won 10 World Series championships (more than any other player in Major League Baseball history), was known for his colorful personality and paradoxical statements like "it ain't over till it's over," which were frequently quoted by newspaper reporters covering the Yankees. [Here's a good list](. But one Yogism stuck out to me... If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be. With major wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and a U.S. economy that's frustrating millions of people – despite living in the largest market in the world – politics in this country are downright depressing today. Often, "We the People" feel like our interests are considered last. So Yogi's words hit home. Coincidentally, today also marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day... On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France during World War II, a mission that ultimately led to the liberation of France and Western Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany. Berra was in the U.S. Navy then and was among the thousands of brave young men who were part of the largest seaborne invasion in military history "weighed down by a hundred pounds of gear and the expectations of everyone back home," as our friend Scott Garliss once [wrote in these pages]( honoring the "Greatest Generation." Berra was on a boat that fired guns and rockets at the German defenses on Omaha Beach. A lot of good (and bad) has happened since then, and I think most people would agree the world is still imperfect as we face a new set of challenges with familiar themes at their core, from geopolitics that influence our everyday lives to the confounding nature of finance... Onward we go. --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Links: [Doc's Biggest Announcement in 40 Years]( Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig just stepped forward with one of the biggest announcements of his 40-year career.
