Top Insights of the Week
1. š¤ The American Dream Is Rigged
Owning a home. Building wealth. Retiring comfortably. It used to be a given if you worked hard. Not anymore. Prices keep climbing, wages donāt, and the game feels rigged. The government calls it a strong economy. People call it riggedā¦
The stock market soared, and those who owned assets made a fortune. Homeowners who bought before 2020 saw their values shoot up. But new buyers are locked out, renters are sinking under rising costs, and Social Security is running dry.
The system isnāt just failing. Itās actively making things worseā¦
Government props up risky loans and limits new construction, keeping prices high.
Social Security trust fund is projected to be depleted by 2035.
The middle class got left behind. The wealthy own assets. Everyone else was told to "work hard and save." But saving doesnāt build wealthāowning does.
This can be fixed. But not with handouts, inflation, or wishful thinking. It takes a resetāone that puts real ownership back in the hands of everyday peopleā¦
Lower housing costs. Cut regulations that drive up prices. Stop subsidizing bad loans that inflate the market.
Reform Social Security. Shift retirement funds from low-return government bonds into the stock market, so all Americans share in the economyās growth.
Give people skin in the game. A national investment fund that makes every citizen a shareholder in the countryās success.
The American Dream isnāt dead, just out of reach. The right changes could fix that. But if we do nothing, the gap widens, and people lose faith. This isnāt politicsāitās about opportunity.
2. š³ Not All Doctors Keep You Alive
Not all doctors are equal. They all passed med school, got their white coatsābut a new study says thatās wrong. Some are better at keeping you alive. The secret? Not experience. Not bedside manner. Itās their board exam scoreā¦
Hereās the thingā¦ hospitals, educators, and policy makers have been shifting away from standardized testsā¦
Instead, they use milestone ratingsāongoing assessments during training. The idea? Real-world skills matter more than a testā¦ not according to a new study.
This new study says board scores actually predict patient survival, and milestone ratings donātā¦
If your doctor scored in the top 25%, your risk of dying within a week of hospitalization is 8% lower.
Your chance of being readmitted? 9% lower.
It analyzed 7,000 doctors across 455,000 hospitalizations.
Hospitals require board certification, but do they care about the score? Most patients never see it. And if the world shifts to competency-based training, do board exams even matter anymore?
Medical school promises every graduate is good enough. This study says otherwise. Some are just better.
What happens when we ignore the one metric tied to survival? And if youāre in the hospitalā¦ do you even get a choice?
3. š¤« Citadelās MASSIVE Bet No Oneās Talking About
Everyoneās obsessed with the companies building AI, but theyāre ignoring the ones powering it. Citadelās Ken Griffin isnātā¦ he just made a $1.2B bet on something more critical than GPUsāand itās not what you thinkā¦ natural gasā¦
This isnāt just another hedge fund trade. Itās a structural shift in how the smartest money in the world is positioning for the next decade.
If Citadel is diving into natural gas, hereās what it likely meansā¦
Energy demand from AI, manufacturing, and global industry is far outpacing supply.
Wind and solar wonāt scale fast enough to keep up with the demand surge.
U.S. liquid natural gas is about to become one of the most valuable commodities on the planet.
Europe, shaken by geopolitics, has been racing to cut ties with Russian energyāwith more liquid natural gas imports and new pipelines.
This isnāt a short-term bet. Itās a long-term thesis on the future of powerā¦
Top investors arenāt just trading energy anymoreātheyāre buying it.
The next big winners know energyānot algorithmsāpowers AI. Right now, the market is mispricing natural gas. Citadel isnāt.
