Don't Spend 10,000 Days in the Jungle

A year ago this week, the Internet forum convinced retail investors to go way long GameStop (GME)... [Stansberry Research Logo] Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 [DailyWealth] Don't Spend 10,000 Days in the Jungle By Sean Michael Cummings, analyst, True Wealth --------------------------------------------------------------- The leaflet couldn't fool Hiroo Onoda. It was the waning days of World War II, and the Japanese Army had stationed Hiroo in the Philippines. He was to sabotage the area's airstrips. Hiroo had studied propaganda during his elite commando training. That's how he knew the leaflet was a ploy... The leaflet read, "The war ended on 15 August. Come down from the mountains!" So Hiroo did the opposite and embedded further. Except – the flier wasn't a ploy after all. It was October 1945, and Japan had announced its surrender two months ago. But Hiroo didn't follow suit. Instead, he waged a one-man war on the surrounding countryside. It would last for 29 years. Finally, his commanding officer came out of retirement in 1974 to convince him of the truth. You might call Hiroo noble. You might call him foolhardy. Whatever he was, he spent 10,000 days alone in a jungle when he didn't have to... This is a timely message for investors in the market today. A war that was raging in 2021 has come to an end. But instead of facing the facts, investors are doubling down like Hiroo did. --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Links: [CRITICAL BRIEFING FOR ALL READERS]( This is the most important investment recommendation you will see from Stansberry Research all year – a proven way to invest and tune out all the bad news...

Some of the world's best investors are practically drooling in anticipation. Because this crash will create a slew of 100%-plus opportunities... backed by legal protections that stocks can only dream of. A top analyst believes this could happen within months – and you must prepare now. [Get the full story here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- It all started in the most unlikely place... the subreddit r/wallstreetbets. A year ago this week, the Internet forum convinced retail investors to go way long GameStop (GME). It kicked off a now-legendary short squeeze. And in a month, the struggling game retailer's share price soared 30 times. We've all heard the story... It shook Wall Street and shuttered hedge funds. It buoyed declining stocks like movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (AMC). And it thrust "meme stocks" into the spotlight. The problem is that this could never last. It was a bubble from the start. And now, it seems investors are moving past the mania of GameStop and AMC. Both stocks are now roughly 70% off their 2021 highs. This isn't to say that either company will go away soon. But the bubble has popped. And thinking it'll reinflate, well, means you don't understand bubbles. Unfortunately, some investors are still all-in. Two other Reddit forums, r/Superstonk and r/amcstock, are havens for bullish meme-stock investors. Combined, they boast more than 1 million subscribers... Their ranks are full of self-styled "Apes" who still pour their money into meme stocks. Posts like these routinely net thousands of upvotes... And, from the AMC side... These holdout investors are hoping for lightning to strike the same place twice. And investment managers are happy to make money off their foolishness. The Roundhill MEME Fund (MEME) debuted last December. It holds 25 meme stocks... And it launched at the worst possible time. Shares are down 30% in just two months. If you're buying MEME or any of these companies today, take a lesson from history. Learn from Hiroo's example. And follow this advice... The war is over. Come down from the mountains.
