Almost everyone you know has enjoyed the roasted taste of a melted marshmallow from an open fire.
And it’s so sweet and delicate that you almost don’t mind burning your lips or the roof of your mouth as it dissolves into pure sugar in your blood stream.
At the same time, it is obvious that a melted marshmallow is probably not good for you.
However, they taste sooooo good that you usually can’t stop at eating just one.
And then there are those who take it to the next level by mixing it with a graham cracker and a chunk of chocolate – aka s’mores – assuring a spike in your blood sugar.
It’s interesting to note the different levels of “toasties” preferred.
Example:
- Warmed with a hint of golden brown
- Toasted all over in a golden-brown texture
- Slightly burned on the edges
- Burned with brown and black edges (where you end up blowing on it to put out the fire
A Melted Marshmallow Delight
Regardless of your preference it’s hard to pass up the opportunity of a melted marshmallow.
So, what does this have to do with investing?
Glad you asked.
Far too often investors get seduced into thinking their stock picks are a result of their great instincts.
And that’s usually confirmed when we’re in a raging bull market.
But…and this is a Very Big Butt…
Just like the crust of a melted marshmallow, the markets can disintegrate in a heart beat ending up with you getting burned in numerous ways.
Since 2008 melt-down, the term BTFD (Buy The Freaking Dip) has been a consistent way beat the markets.
But that may not hold true in 2025.
Why?
Governments around the world NEED A WAR to cover up the failure of the Covid narrative, the collapse of the Great Reset and ESPECIALLY to cover when they all default on their debt.

As a result, we’re looking at a potential Man-Made Depression in 2025 with a higher likelihood of a Recession.
And the Boyz will do what they do best to help it happen.
Why again?
They need the 99% to be wrong in order for them to make fortunes at YOUR expense.
So, instead of being tempted to invest on the crust of a melted marshmallow, be patient and let the markets present you with opportunities of a lifetime.
It’s what happens in Turbulent Times.
