November Letter to 3rd Eye Invest Users
What’s has been going on the last 8 weeks
A lot of you have seen the red, felt the panic around you, heard the noise from TV, social media, and journalists, and wondered:
“What does 3rd Eye see that I’m not seeing?”
This is exactly why 3rd Eye exists to help you stay level-headed with a strategy for bull and bear markets.
Before anything else, please ensure you’re signed up to receive the 1–4 messages we send each month. They’re not spam. They’re not daily alerts. We let you know when to set up or pause recurring buys on Robinhood or your preferred investing app.
When we pause recurring buys, it’s not because we’re scared. Pausing is part of the strategy when I do not think it’s a good time to buy. It allows you to save every week and build cash so we can buy stocks at lower prices.
Where the drop in stocks started
The turning point came from investors’ reaction to the possibility that the Federal Reserve may not cut rates in December.
Jerome Powell and the Fed are trying to control inflation without hurting the job market. It’s not an easy balance. Many investors want fast rate cuts, but cutting too quickly can cause inflation to flare up again. When inflation rises, it acts like gravity on stocks, pulling them down. That pressure would force the Fed to raise rates again to keep inflation under control.
The government shutdown has delayed and canceled key data. This prevents the Fed from making detailed assessments of the economy and limits its ability to use its tools effectively. In my opinion, I do not see a cut in December.
Why did the selling get worse?
Even though companies have been beating Wall Street earnings estimates, big institutional investors looked at Powell’s comments, stock valuations, and a potential AI bubble and started selling large amounts of shares to protect their gains for the year and take short-term profits.
When they sell, a lot of others follow.
You get a snowball effect not driven by logic, but by fear and short-term thinking, so they can satisfy their personal goals and look good to their LPs.
By the way, I do not believe we are in an AI Bubble yet. A bubble is forming, but it is not at its peak/about to pop.
How 3rd Eye handled it
3rd Eye could have sold too.
But we stayed level-headed.
We held onto our positions and are saving weekly to take advantage of buying great companies at lower prices.
Earlier this year, we used the same strategy and it helped us outperform index funds, Nancy Pelosi, and more.
In 2018, President Trump implemented tariffs, which led to a decline in stock prices. He said he would do it again in early 2025, so we prepared. We sent out an optional 20–30% sell signal for users who needed quick cash, but overall, we stuck to the plan: pause recurring buys, save weekly, and buy at significantly lower prices.
This is the kind of environment where long-term investors quietly win while short-term traders panic, lose their margin of safety chasing quick profits, and pay taxes.
Why don’t we post every piece of research?
Some people ask why we don’t publish every detail of our research.
Honestly?
Because it would be way too much to read and it’s our competitive advantage. If we lived in a socialist society, I would happily do it. Even though 3rd Eye Invest is currently free. The main version will not be free forever.
What matters is the strategy and keeping you informed through videos and articles on Substack.
Final thoughts
There will always be ups and downs. That’s normal.
But the way to build real wealth hasn’t changed:
Stay disciplined.
Follow the weekly strategy.
Keep your emotions in check.
This isn’t just about beating the market daily; it’s about building something meaningful for you, your family, and the people who come after you.
Thank you for being part of 3rd Eye Invest.
Thank you for trusting the strategy.
And thank you for sticking with it even when the world feels loud.
