It's 9AM
First, you do it for yourself, then friends, then money...
I’m just a guy who reads a lot
Well, I’m a guy who thinks a lot and consumes a lot and thinks that every so often I get lucky and connect some dots
So I don’t say this lightly
But…
IF you plan on being around in life for the next 10 – 20 years, you should be in the stock market
Now, normally, I think there are higher returns to be had in small business
IF you can deal with slow days, IF you can deal with headaches and uncertainty
But a set it and forget it plan with ROBINHOOD or FIDELITY or VANGUARD over 10 or 20 years doesn’t require much thought
I’m telling you what I’m betting on so you can maybe profit too
And since I’m not a financial analyst, here’s the disclaimer or I’ll get in trouble with the FCC, which likes to go after little guys but leaves the Insider Traders at Congress alone
Space X
IF you have a retirement account that allows you to invest in individual stocks, use $1000 or more to buy this when the IPO goes public in the next month or so.
Set an alert on Robinhood or Yahoo Finance so you know;
On day one, you will watch it rocket to the moon.
On day two, you will watch it fall like an asteroid plummeting to earth
On days 3 – 365, you will watch it jump on every successful launch and tweet
And during those same days, you will watch it fall every time a Falcon explodes
But…
Over the next 10 years, I’m making a bet that SPACE X will 10X or more.
And I believe in that bet so much, this summer, I’m saving up everything little thing I can to add more to accounts for each of my kids
Because even though I’m going to be around for another 48 years
Those guys have an opportunity for a legacy fund
Now I don’t have enough money to make it generational wealth
YET
But I do what is called dollar cost averaging, buying what I can, when I can and sitting with it
Long Term
And in that same portfolio, I plan to add
OPENAI and ANTHROPIC when they go IPO later this year
I would add TESLA because of the bots that will flood the market in 2027 BUT if you say my It’s 9AM about GROK bots to the Moon
You might belive another “prediction”
Musk will merge Tesla and SpaceX in 2027 which does ALL the things stock watchers and hedge funds like (market share, revenue earned, etc)
And IF that happens your 10X return just might add another 0
Now that’s a bet I think is worth making
Again, I’m not a stock guy
I’m a guy who reads and lives, and works my ass off to try and sell books and audiobooks
So do your own research and/or trust someone to do it for you, like ARK
It’s just, when I saw this, I went into my ROBINHOOD Account and set an alert, then texted my EX so she could spend some time in her retirement account making the allocation
After that, I listed 20 items on Marketplace to get some more cash together AND sent out some emails to sell some books and send folks to Google or Barnes and Noble or Apple or Amazon.
I am trying hard to live my philosophy of “DON’T GET READY. BE READY.”

And since you’ve been with me awhile, I think you should share in some of the rewards of what the world is doing around us.
You can tell me in the comments if you disagree.
One more thing: I am thinking about setting up an affiliate program through Payhip where if you share a link to a boxset, you make a generous commission. IF you have any interest in this, shoot me an email.
You’re probably my kind of reader if you like stories where:
• Things go sideways fast
• Smart people make questionable decisions
• Florida behaves exactly like Florida
• Trouble shows up uninvited
• The heroes are a little damaged
• The villains are sometimes more organized than the government
• Somebody ignores good advice in Chapter 2 and pays for it in Chapter 12
That’s basically the operating system behind most of the books I write.
I don’t really write polished literary novels where everyone stares thoughtfully out rain-covered windows while processing emotions for 400 pages.
I write escape fiction.
The kind of books you open “for a few minutes” and suddenly it’s 1:17 AM and you’re defending your life choices to the coffee maker the next morning.
That’s why I put together the 20-book collection.
Not because I thought, “How do I maximize revenue extraction from my valued customers?” which sounds like something a malfunctioning corporate robot would say before replacing your family dog with a subscription service.
I built it because readers kept wanting more once they finished one series or one character.
So I made the easiest possible entry point.
Twenty books. One place. Instant access.
If you’ve enjoyed the free stories, there’s a very good chance you’ll lose an unhealthy amount of sleep inside this collection too.
You can grab it here:

Appreciate you being here.

P.S. Side effects may include ignoring chores, staying up too late, and emotionally investing in deeply flawed fictional people.
It’s probably the title:
Jack the Stripper (everybody thinks its about a Club) BUT it’s the name of a serial killer from West London!
That’s the problem with obscure research; if nobody knows, nobody understands
This is about Gumbo Malone on the hunt for a serial killer in the expanse of Gulf Coast Florida; NOT ABOUT A STRIP CLUB
Which means… I’ll have to revisit the title
