The market’s in a bit of a tailspin, and it’s starting to feel like the Bitcoin ETF hype — which I discussed last week — was a top after the massive run to end 2023.
The elite of the world’s elite are gathered once again in Davos for the World Economic Forum, where we’re seeing a lot of bearish notes hitting the headlines.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Soloman is concerned about soaring U.S. debt.
We’ve seen some big red flags with shares of Apple of late, and big-money traders are rushing to buy protection in Microsoft, which just passed Apple as the world’s most valuable company…

P.S. How to Piggyback on Some of Wall Street’s Biggest Moves
I don’t talk about this often, but I’ve been flipping some of Wall Street’s biggest transactions into extra cash.
