Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Capitalist Exploits—a leading Global Investment Research Newsletter.*
Capitalist Exploits is dedicated to finding asymmetric risk/reward investment opportunities without the hot air that pervades the financial industry.
Managing investments can be overwhelming, especially when juggling a busy schedule. Like many, you might lean towards a passive, low-fee index fund approach. It's reliable and effective over time. However, this strategy often overlooks the rich insights and asymmetric opportunities hiding just beneath the surface for those willing to look deeper.
I’ve been impressed by Capitalist Exploits’ direct, insightful approach to investment advice without the BS of many other services (not naming any names!). If you’d like to see for yourself, join a 30-Day Trial of the Weekly Insider Newsletter.

Table Selection
The game you play—or the table you select—is more important than how you play.
You don’t need to get good at doing difficult things if you get good at avoiding difficult things. If you want to win, pick an easy table and nail your execution.
| Insight
Disagreements can lead to growth if approached with an open mind.
Challenge: Write about a recent disagreement and how it could have been an opportunity for growth if both parties had been open to learning from each other.
Example: A debate with a coworker, a difference of opinion with a friend, or a family conflict.

Edwin Land, inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, on the importance of curiosity:
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail."
| Question
Think about a relationship that has significantly impacted your life. What does this relationship reveal about your needs and priorities in personal connections?
