I've been thinking about this

Hey everyone!

I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking lately about the concept of "Passive Investing."

If you have been following me for a while, you know that Stock Market Genius (SMG) is my bread and butter. It is incredible for active growth, aggressive options, and catching those big market swings. I love the energy of it, and I know many of you do too.

Maybe as interest rate becomes lower, everyone is trying to find a place to secure more yield with certainty. But I’ve noticed something in our community. I’ve been getting more and more messages from members who are looking for a "second engine" for their wealth. They want a part of their portfolio that just... sits there and pays them.

I’m talking about an investment that requires:

• No constant chart monitoring.

• No complex "Greeks" or delta-hedging.

• No heart palpitations when you check the news at 9:30 PM.

The "Interest Rate Cliff" of 2026

We are entering a very specific window in the market right now. With the Fed having cut rates several times throughout 2025 and continuing to do so here in early 2026, the "easy" yield from high-interest savings accounts and T-bills is vanishing.

The 4% or 5% "risk-free" returns we enjoyed last year are hitting a cliff. If you want to maintain your returns and outpace inflation, you can't just park your cash in a bank anymore.

The Passive Income Generator a.k.a “Passive Sail”

I’ve been quietly working on a simplified system designed to generate 7-9% yields safely while requiring almost zero work once the "sail" is set.

It is a bridge between the high-octane growth of SMG and the "set and forget" stability that every long-term millionaire eventually builds. It is about moving away from "paddling" your boat every single day and instead building a sail that catches the market's wind and carries you forward while you sleep.

I want to know if I’m on the right track for you guys.

If you had to choose one for your long-term wealth, which would it be?

1. The Active Engine: Higher potential growth, but requires your time and focus.

2. The Passive Income Generator: Steady, reliable income that requires almost zero maintenance.

I’m asking because I am currently building something that bridges the gap between these two. I want to make sure I’m building exactly what you need to dominate 2026.

Talk soon,

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.

• 23 exits to date

• $1,245,000,000+ invested

• Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%
