Get Your Money Back, Keep the Upside

The Rule That Takes Your Risk to Zero

In April we sold half of a semiconductor position after it doubled.

That sale returned every dollar of our original capital. The half we kept has gained another 57% since, and the whole position is up 219% from where we bought it.

We ran the same play in May on a memory chip name that doubled in 77 days. Took the original stake out. What's left is up 115% today, and it hasn't cost anyone a dollar of their own money since May.

A silver miners position we opened in April of last year is up 138%, with half of it already banked.

Seven of our open positions have been through that exercise now. I call it the Moonshot Ride. It’s where a position doubles, and you take back the original capital.

Twenty of our twenty-seven open positions are green. The average gain, including the losers, is up almost 39%.

I'm proud of that record and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

But a track record is only worth as much as its ugly half, and the ugly half is where I do the actual work.

Anyone can write up a winner.

What Premium Members pay me for is what happens when a position turns against us, or when I get something wrong.

So today I went back through every position that's underwater.

One of those reviews turned up something I need to correct.

It's all below in the Premium Section.

P.S. Here’s a screenshot of the current Moonshot Minute Portfolio. I’ve blurred out the tickers since that information is only for Premium Members, but you can see how we’ve done so far:

In today's Premium Section: An update on a company we like for this unfolding and unprecedented event. If you’re not a Premium Member yet, you’ll want to join today.

I hope you’ve been paying attention because many of our picks are currently beating the S&P by up to 4-to-1 over the last 12 months.

Most financial newsletters charge $500, $1,000, even $5,000 per year. Why? Because they know they can.

I don’t.

I built my wealth the old-fashioned way, not by selling subscriptions.

That’s why I priced this at $35/month, or $300/year.

Not because it’s low quality, but because I don’t need to charge the typical prices other newsletters charge.

One good trade, idea, or concept could pay for your next decade of subscriptions.

The question isn’t ‘Why is this so cheap?’ The question is, ‘Why would I charge more?’

P.S. If this newsletter were $1,000 per year, you’d have to think about it.

You’d weigh your options. You’d analyze the risk.

But it’s $35 a month.

That’s the price of a bad lunch decision.

And remember, just one good idea could pay for your subscription for a decade.

Amazing! Moonshot is hands down the best $150 decision I have ever made. Up 64% on TICKER REDACTED (so far). Can't thank you enough for your service, advice, recommendations, insight, and every other positive accolade in the dictionary.

Very respectfully and gratefully,

CK

I’m up 71% in 6 weeks would you recommend adding to this bucket if capital allows?

Hello Double D,

As it happened, I already owned some TICKER REDACTED shares when you recommended the stock. Upon your recommendation, I bought more. All told, I'm up over 70% in a month or two.

I greatly appreciate the detailed discussion you and your team provide for your recommendations.

Thank you.

A happy subscriber,

PK

I finally got some liquidity I could use and bought the stock as well as March 2026 calls yesterday morning (October 2nd) when it was at $17.80.

That is easily the best-timed investment/trade I've ever made, and I have your team's perpetual hard work and research to thank for it.

Thanks again for all the hard work. You and your team push out a lot of solid research, and the effort doesn't go unnoticed.

It is greatly appreciated,

MD

Closing at 24% gain, and enough profits to pay for 2yrs of your newsletter. Thank you for this! I especially appreciate you detailing the rationale behind your picks. As a newer investor it’s important for me to know why just as much as what.

MS

Up 68.87% on TICKER REDACTED to date, great recommendation!

BW

Thanks for the great tip on TICKER REDACTED! I bought, and just eight trading days later, it's up 52% as of this very minute. I'm new to your newsletter, less than two months, but I have found it to be quite soundly researched and a truly invaluable source.

I've been actively investing for many years and have, at one time or another, subscribed to various investment advisors. None have been as useful (nor as affordable!) as the Moonshot Minute.

You, sir, do excellent work and we individual investors much appreciate it.

Up 66%! Thanks.

SB

Kudos and thank you for the TICKER REDACTED recommendation. TICKER REDACTED has been awesome and I do understand/believe this to possibly be only the beginning. I bought 200 shares at $16 and another 100 at $18, the day before the surge started. Again, I am very grateful.

I've only been with you a few weeks now, and overall, my portfolio is up 41%. Couldn't have done it without you, DD. Thanks again.

HJP

I joined your plan about 2 months ago.

TICKER REDACTED was a real hit - and I did fully realize it yesterday for a rise - 141%. Great deal!!

Just wanted to drop you a quick THANK YOU! Been a member for about a week (I wanted to see your picks for the electrical asymmetry) and I picked up some TICKER REDACTED & TICKER REDACTED. I’m already up $1,300.00 so my membership is covered for 5 years in about a week!

Keep up the great work! Again, THANKS! Glad to be a subscriber!
