Cryptocurrencies, along with gold and real estate, are valuable pieces of any crisis-proof portfolio. That’s why I recommended two crypto plays in the latest issue of The Freeport Investor, which we published on Wednesday. This lead to one subscriber posing a very useful question…
A look at how dangerously dependent young people are on the web these days… and how they so badly lack the very basic life skills to succeed and be productive members of society. Plus what President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness teaches the indebted. And other stories from the week.

In the not-too-distant future, they may give a war on the Korean peninsula and nobody will come. But it won’t be because the Koreans suddenly embrace pacifism.
You know our ethos here, at The Freeport Society: We advocate for life, liberty, and the pursuit of wealth. Unfortunately, our single greatest impediment to the latter is, you guessed it – taxes. We must share our gains with Uncle Sam.
That’s why there’s one tax day I pay particular attention to…
