The Real Traders Aren't on CNBC
Your current options for finding stock trades:
Option 1: Spend 4 hours daily reading everything online
Option 2: Pay $500/month for paywalled newsletters and pray
Option 3: Get yesterday's news from mainstream financial media
All three keep you broke.
Here's where the actual edge lives:
Twitter traders sharing real setups (not TV personalities)
Crowdfunding opportunities before they go mainstream
IPO alerts with actual timing
Reddit communities spotting trends early
Crypto insider takes (not corporate PR)

This marks a +$1.8 trillion jump since the debt ceiling was lifted in July.
In other words, the US federal debt has been rising ~$514 billion per month or ~$17 billion per day.
Of the total $38.01 trillion in US Treasury securities, $30.44 trillion are held by the public, meaning investors, banks, funds, and central banks both in the US and abroad. These are the Treasury securities that trade in the open market.
The remaining $7.58 trillion are held by federal agencies such as government pension funds and the Social Security Trust Fund. These are internal holdings within the government and are not traded publicly.
This all makes the total debt-to-GDP ratio 125%, nearly a record high.
US debt crisis is escalating and nothing is going to stop this.
