Talk about paradigm shifts, but Amazon.com Inc. (NasdaqGS:AMZN) singlehandedly changed the way we shop, forever.

Now that Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, is stepping down as CEO, investors want to know if Amazon’s stock, which seems like it’s been going up forever, can keep going. There are rumors that Bezos stepping down could signal the end of the stock’s run.

There are a few reasons why Bezos is giving up his crown, but it all boils down to one question: What does this transition mean for your money, whether you’ve owned Amazon for years, just picked up a share or two, or you don’t own it yet?

Let’s dive in…

On Monday, I talked about our latest endeavor, going where Total Wealth has never gone before.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to read up on what it means for you, go here. In short, we’re now following Seven Seismic Shifts – seven themes that will provide us with the greatest moneymaking opportunities the world’s ever seen. The themes are 1) pandemics, 2) politics, 3) environment, 4) taxation and regulation, 5) trading and investing, 6) Federal Reserve insanity, and 7) China.

In keeping with our themes, today, we’re going where no retail traders or investors, especially those who scored huge gains driving up GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) and other highly shorted stocks, want regulators to go – because it would ruin the new game they just learned to play.

Seismic Shift #5 is about changes in how we trade and invest, and nothing’s more seismic than regulatory changes.

And believe me, we’re going to get some new ones, maybe sooner than later…

We have a rare opportunity to capitalize on time, wisdom and energy to build wealth.

I’m not the kind of guy to say “I told you so,” but if I was, I’d sure be saying it now.

Retail traders have become the tail wagging the dog, with the dog being Wall Street pros.

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) is exhibit 1.

What happened, and what’s going to happen with GameStop (and more than a few other companies’ stocks) is the story of how retail traders are ganging up on multi-billion-dollar hedge funds…

Here’s how they’re making a killing doing it.

As of 12 noon today, the United States of America has a new president and a new vice president. The country also has a new Congress.

That means it’s time to buy some new stocks.

Right now is a good time to take the long view of what a Biden presidency and Democrat-led Congress will change about America. And by change, I mean how much money will the new government spend, and on what?

If you want to make money in the market, you must follow the money…

The up and down sounds you’re hearing out of equity markets reminds me of what it sounds like when racecar drivers, positioned on the starting grid, rev their engines before the checkered flag is waved to start the race.

Investors know there’s a big spending race about to start with the Biden administration poised to unleash a torrent of cash on households, unemployment support, health initiatives, states and cities, and eventually on infrastructure and a Green New Deal. As such, they’re positioning themselves.

Here’s how you can do the same…

In hindsight, the market’s extraordinary rally on the heels of Donald Trump’s election was mostly unexpected, until investors realized they had to get on board or miss the bus. And they did – get on board, that is. And they kept coming and markets kept rising.

This time around, investors are expecting markets to climb on the heels of a Democrat-led Congress and Executive Branch. And markets are already rising.

The question a lot of analysts and investors are asking themselves is, will a Democrat-led economy crush the push markets got under a Republican presidency?

My bet is they will.

Here’s what that means for you and your money…

What a week it was – and I mean for markets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite notched new record highs on Friday, and the Russell 2000 made its mark the day before.

Last week’s message wasn’t so much “so what,” as it was “spend, spend, spend” because that’s what markets were focused on.

The Democrat-controlled Senate, House, and Executive branch are expected to unleash a tsunami of spending that investors expect will include helicopter money dropped into Americans’ bank accounts, a lot of which will end up being moved into their brokerage accounts, spending on infrastructure, the environment, the economy… You name it, and there will be money thrown at it.

That’s what drove markets higher last week. And there’s no reason they can’t keep on rising.

Here’s what I mean…

The political beat isn’t my thing, but democracy and making money are right up my alley.

That said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t address what happened at and in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

I’m sticking to the middle of the road here and focusing more on what will happen now that the Senate is in the hands of the Democrats, the Presidential inauguration is right around the corner, and we’re on the brink of what we hope to be a prosperous new year.

Here are my thoughts…
