Talk later, got chores to take care of.

I've been researching how early Germany used TRICKS to get rid of DEBT. Crazy moves with alternative currencies to deal with debt: Mefo bills and Öffa bills. Schemes and scams by SCUMBAGS and SCOUNDRELS! Wow, HISTORY tells a lot of TRICKS by the TRICKSTERS!

Last but not least, the FUTURE of CRYPTO is predicted by Nostradamus. It's a NASTY verse: Century 8 Quatrain 28 - "Fake versions of gold & silver multiply...global exhaustion and trouble...". The recession of 2035 looks like a ROUGH ONE with CREDIT MARKETS tumbling.

Crypto WILL rise according to Biggs, but Biggs DEMISE is predicted by Nostradamus: Century 2 Quatrain 28. Verses show "the one holder of the prophet's name...will wander far with his head in a frenzy...". This verse predicts the prophet's DOWNFALL!

Prophecies show Trump is no longer president in 2032 as a NEW, YOUNGER MAN, is supposed to come into office. It could be the U.S. will be SICK of this LEADER by 2032's election. Trump has ONLY 1 MORE TERM POSSIBLE - if he can get in, cause PROPHECIES show he's OUT in 2032. I'll cover this later.

I'm done with showing you some investing hints, and moving back to NOSTRADAMUS. Next time, I'll cover the EARTHQUAKE PREDICTED by BIGGs the PROPHET.

My ALL TIME winner ETF AWARD is SFYF ETF - theSofi 50 ETF: 30%. Better than MAGS ETF, cause it is SO SPREAD OUT over so many industries. Quarterly holdings report shows foreign companies, companies I've held and company stock I was considering holding in the future. This ETF holds PROMISE!

The Magificent Seven ETF betting on just 7 tech companies is over 24% for 2025. It has finally had a PULL BACK of over -2% today. It's LAST HIGH was on October 29th.

The Motley Fool 100 Index is getting a SIGNIFICANT lead as it is over 20% for the year. (TMFC ETF)

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

The GOP insider trading ETF (GOP) for Republicans isn't that hot either: almost 16% so far. Democratic ETF insider trading (NANC) is at 19% for the year. Republicans have yet to figure out there ISN'T much money in OIL and GAS companies that pay out dividends. Energy stocks are PETTY.

Trump moved SHIP BUILDING to South Korea; their country's economy is BOOMING. South Korea ETF is 88% for the year! Incredible! TARIFFS will only benefit countries that deal with Trump, but the MONEY ISN'T in America!! I guess the DUMMIES with the MAGA hats won't benefit from jobs in South Korea!!

China's ETF is just over 36% or over TWICE what our S&P500 is YTD. TARIFFS are RIPPING so much out of the American economy that we are FALLING in BUSINESS PROFITS. We just aren't gaining like we used to. I can see more Republican politicians coming against this with ANTI-TARIFF plantforms.

I have to tell my dad, a previous National Guardsman, that National Guard are JUST UNPAID TRASH PICKER UPPERS now. It isn't worth it to join up any longer.

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

Trump has PROVED we don't NEED a FEDERAL GOV'T, hell as he kicked out Democrats we realize we DON'T NEED Republicans either. Libertarian gov't without all that NASTY REPUBLICAN SPENDING on WARFARE. We DON'T NEED ANY REPUBLICANS either. Musk could have run the U.S. gov't alone...

Somebody praised Trump for the market being so high - highest in history - but his actual gain isn't staggering. Compared to 15% for our S&P500 this morning, Canada's ETF is at 23.92%. Mexico's ETF was at 37.95%. Our neighbors, north and south, are KICKING TRUMP'S ASS with their economy!

Same with Palantir stock. It has had a good run: over 149% for the year. It's TIME TO TAKE PROFITS, GET OUT and ENJOY YOUR WINNINGS. You don't make much if you RIDE a STOCK DROPPING like a ROCK!

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

Don't own a stock with a HIGH PE and you can see the MELTDOWN today as Intel stock is finally pulling back. I think 84% is a GOOD RUN, but enough is enough, as things can't constantly go up. It DEFIES all REASON. Intel is with a high PE of 3517. That's just TOO MUCH RISK.

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

It is also more money to own ING GROEP stock rather than Voya. Look at the PARENT COMPANIES - they make ALL THE MONEY! Voya is the RETIREMENT PACKAGE that State of Michigan workers are PUSHED INTO, but ING GROEP owns it all. IN GROEP NV stock is up 62%. Buy the owners, not their products!!!

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

These young kids are just CHUMPS, ready to follow the President over the cliff! Ah, don't buy any FANCY FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, but buy stock in those companies offering it to investors. If was MORE MONEY to OWN Sofi stock than to buy SFYF ETFs.

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

From what I can tell, there was a lot of HYPE and the PREZ lost out in Ethereum, from Coinbase data, his crypto was down -6.52% since the 7/24/25 purchase. I'm not following any more HYPE from young kids telling me Trump is going to turn it all around. Why believe all the HYPE?

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

It's amazing what the STATS show: 40% of America doesn't own stocks relying on MILITARY PENSIONS and/or SOCIAL SECURITY. A good share of the MIDDLE CLASS, might only have a MUTUAL FUND in a S&P500 company and they will make only 9% a year. (8 years to double your money)

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

A lot of RICH PEOPLE don't want to watch their own money and GIVE IT over to a HEDGE FUND. If it performs POORLY they move it somewhere else. Lots of HEDGE FUNDS don't make 30% for 3 years straight.

You can RIDE IT OUT with Buffett's stock: BRK.B and make a little more. Of course, some people make even less by getting a PENSION fund of 7%, like my brother in his retirement.

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

My wife would do what the masses do - stick the retirement money into the S&P500, usually in a fund offered by your retirement company and RIDE IT OUT. That's 9% a year. PASSIVE INVESTING is kind of STUPID in a way.

Mitchell Rumpf @etfpicker.bsky.social · 1d

I've revealed enough in here about investing. Many of you can IMPROVE your game as I discussed my SUPERIOR METHOD of holding a stock, like Berkshire Hathaway B shares, till they reach a top - sell at that point. Start picking up a BOND FUND when it DIPS and hold till it reaches a top.
