Ray Dalio—founder of Bridgewater Associates and one of the most successful hedge fund managers in history—just made his position clear:

He's urging investors to put 15% of their portfolio in gold and crypto as U.S. debt spirals out of control.

Why? Because fiat currencies are being devalued—and gold remains one of the most trusted hedges in history.

But while most investors just sit on gold and hope it goes up…

There's a smarter move: Get paid while gold rises.

One little-known $15 fund is already turning gold's momentum into monthly income—as much as $1,152/month.

No gold bars. No mining stocks. Just income.

BREAKING NEWS

🚀 SpaceX Joins The Nasdaq Tomorrow. Here's Why It Matters.

It hasn’t even been a month since SpaceX went public and they’re already getting added to the Nasdaq-100 on July 7th.

Here’s why that matters. The Nasdaq-100 tracks a lot of the market's biggest non-bank companies. Once a company gets added to the list, the index funds and ETFs that follow that list usually have to buy the stock to match it. No thinking, no shopping around. The list says buy, so they buy. That means millions of regular people can end up owning SpaceX through their retirement accounts and index funds without ever buying it on purpose.

Here's the bigger picture behind what's actually happening:

• 🛰️ The index buying could be huge. J.P. Morgan estimates about $4.3 billion worth of SpaceX shares may be bought after it joins the Nasdaq-100. Funds like the Invesco QQQ Trust have to update their holdings automatically, creating a wave of buying.

• ₿ There is Bitcoin hiding in the rocket. SpaceX keeps 18,712 Bitcoin sitting in its bank account. That makes it just the fourth company on the entire Nasdaq-100 to hold Bitcoin, next to Tesla, Strategy, and MercadoLibre. Buy the stock, and you quietly get some crypto exposure too.

• 💵 The man in charge just hit a new record. SpaceX went public on June 12 in the biggest IPO ever. Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, the first person on the planet to ever wear that crown.

Now, how has the stock done since it went public? Let's just say nobody is throwing a party yet. It launched at $160, shot up to $185, then slid right back down to where it started. Anyone who bought at the tippy top is currently sitting in the red and quietly regretting it. But getting added to the Nasdaq-100 might be exactly the rocket fuel this stock needs to finally leave the launchpad.

The Munch Take: SpaceX is no longer just a rocket company. It’s becoming part of the financial system itself. The biggest story here is not rockets. It’s that SpaceX is now getting absorbed into millions of everyday investment accounts. The moment a company enters major indexes, it stops being niche and starts becoming part of everyone’s portfolio.

STORY OF THE DAY

🚕 Tesla's Robot Cars Just Hit Miami. No Driver Needed.

On July 3rd, Tesla turned on its Robotaxi service in Miami. Yes, these are real cars driving around a real city with nobody in the driver's seat.

No human. Just the car, the computer, and you in the back.

Here’s how it works: You download the Robotaxi app, tap for a ride, and a Tesla Model Y shows up all by itself. It uses Tesla's Full Self-Driving software to steer, stop, and get you where you’re going. One person even filmed it driving through a flooded street without blinking.

Here's the bigger picture behind the hype:

• 🌴 It's tiny for now. The cars only run inside a small zone of about 10 to 14 square miles. Miami is way bigger than that, so most of the city is still stuck with old school Uber.

• 🤖 Tesla is late to the party. Waymo has about 3,000 roxotaxis across six U.S. cities and launched in Miami back in January. Tesla hasn’t publicly disclosed their total fleet numbers.

• 👀 The government is watching. Safety regulators already have an open investigation into whether Tesla's camera-only system sees well enough in glare and heavy rain. Miami summers have plenty of both.

The Munch Take: A car driving itself through a Miami flood is either the coolest thing you will see this year or the scariest and honestly it might be both. Tesla ( $TSLA ( ▼ 7.49% ) ) is betting the whole future of the company on these robots working. The cars look amazing in the videos. The real test is the boring stuff, like the 500th rainy Tuesday when nobody is filming. I told my wife I would love to try one. Not just because it’s cool, but because I have more confidence that I’ll get less car sick with the robot driving than my wife driving. She wasn’t impressed.
