What Your 2026 Could Look Like:
Imagine waking up to a notification that a stock you've never heard of just saw a 4,000% spike in Reddit mentions overnight. Sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish. You have time to research it before the market even opens.
You check AltIndex. The stock's web traffic is up 80% month-over-month. They're hiring aggressively. A Congress member with a strong track record just bought $200K worth.
You do your own research. The fundamentals check out. You take a position before the crowd arrives.
Two weeks later, the stock is up 50%. You were early. For once, you were on the right side of the information curve.
This isn't hypothetical. Things like this happened with stocks like IREN (up 585% after a buy signal), PLTR (Reddit mentions predicted the surge), and dozens of others in 2025.

Trump announced a Greenland deal framework and called off the NATO tariffs. It seems like the whole Greenland episode is following the exact TACO framework that we mentioned earlier this week. There aren’t any other official announcements about a deal yet, but here are the details so far:
The US may gain small, targeted parcels of land in Greenland for military bases (probably what Trump wanted all along)
The US will likely have a stake in Greenland mineral rights
The deal is “forever,” according to Trump
It’s specifically for the purpose of blocking Russian and Chinese influence on the US through Greenland
It will involve the US "Golden Dome" system, which Denmark is ready to help with

🍷 Alternative Investment of the Day: Wine
Fine wine drew renewed attention as an alternative asset after data showed roughly 10.6% annualized returns over the past 15 years, putting it broadly in line with long-term equity performance while offering low correlation to stocks and bonds.
The appeal centered on limited supply and resilience during inflationary periods, though there are real frictions such as storage, insurance, authentication, and weaker liquidity compared with public markets, making wine a niche diversifier rather than a core holding.
