What to Expect From The Wiggin Sessions [Wiggin Sessions] February 09, 2022 New Ideas, New Voices, New Vices [Addison Wiggin]Dear Reader, After 30 years of publishing insider ideas and investment advice to an esteemed group of paid readers, I've opened up my network to you at no cost. Just to be clear, The Wiggin Sessions isn’t a simple e-letter or podcast. This is an entirely new way to engage with us: video, audio, email, text, social media and more. Even better, you’ll get to choose your poison. To kick things off, I’ll introduce you to someone whom I’ve come to know quite well in the past few months. We will show you a new way to think about historical cycles in our current times and how they impact your thoughts on the markets, economics, society… the past and your future. His name is Mark Moss. More about him in a moment. Many of our members have paid thousands of dollars for the type of ideas that I’m about to share with you for free. Why am I now giving them away to you? Seriously, why? Many changes have come about in the industry recently. For instance, we’ve heard that 35% of all money in the financial markets comes from individual investors. What does that mean exactly? We’re trying to innovate and evolve. We’ve heard from readers, like you, who have made changes to their lives based on the ideas, encouragement, wisdom we’ve published. Many have come forward to support our efforts. In return, we want to be able to communicate our support. Let me restate that in a different way: There are a lot of people trying to make decisions just like you. How do I make my family feel secure? How do I take this pile and make it a little higher? How do I listen, learn and facilitate a better way of managing my life? In our business, we try to think of the relationship we create with you… the actual person who opened this email. Mostly because we’re looking for solutions to complex questions just like you. I’m cynical. I admit it. Probably as cynical a person as you will find on the planet. But my approach to my family, finances, health care, business, career is all pretty similar to my approach to writing and life and general: I’m a stoic. What you want to do is your business… I’m just trying to figure it out on my own, too. Then share with you what I think will work. I also believe that the cultural traditions we have inherited… the precedents that guide our legal system… and our ability to let capital go where it’s best served is what helps people like you and me to build a good life, a good family and a legacy. I’ve been working in this business for 30 years. It’s the only “job” I’ve had… except for that one strange year at the Cato Institute. Here’s the deal. We know how to write and talk and market to you… just because that’s how the business works. That’s not my pitch today. My pitch is: when you see our Wiggin Session interviews, you’ll feel the love… you’ll understand how fortunate I’ve been in the relationships I’ve developed and talking with the men and women who I've known since the early 1990s. Especially, since the pandemic disrupted all of our lives. You’ll feel the benefit of knowing them, too. I’ve spoken with Jim Rickards several times… Bill Bonner, whom I consider a friend… George Gilder you may recognize for his forward thinking on technology and its impact on society. Those are just three. Three of my favorites. There have been 70 more. And I’m just getting started. You’ll probably recognize the references I make to pop culture. You might even appreciate that I spent more than a healthy amount of time following the Grateful Dead. There’s a good chance you can relate to my goal of helping my kids get through college without a smidge of debt. Overall, it’s not about the markets necessarily. It’s a conversation about the economy, that bitch politics and where you want to put your money. Follow your bliss, [Addison Wiggin] Addison Wiggin Founder, Financial Reserve P.S. Mark Moss is an entrepreneur, an investor. He has made then lost a few million… then made a few more. Experience is its own teacher. Experience helps when going through paradigm shifts like what we’re going through now means something. Mark’s a good dude. Tomorrow you’ll get to hear my interview with Mark. What he shares is an opportunity to transform your life… your understanding of history… your belief in the future. Look for it in your inbox tomorrow.

Just look at some of what my recent guests on The Wiggin Sessions have said… “It is totally insane to me. I've enjoyed your writing. I actually have Mobs, Messiahs and Markets. I got Empire of Debt, Demise of the Dollar. So I read your books. I would read The Daily Reckoning. You guys were pioneers. I think you guys were also pioneers in digital and getting all the newsletters out there through email and I hope I can only be a fraction as successful as you guys have been." Demetri Kofinas Host of the Hidden Forces podcast “Thank you, Addison. It's great to be with you today. Before we jump too far in, I want to let you know that I'm humbled to be here. You guys and you in particular, your voice was a voice that 10, 15 years ago, when I started on a journey of having to rediscover a certain aspect of finance, you guys were a huge influence for me. You had a profound impact on my life. So, I'm grateful to be with you today to chat.” Ian Silverburg Founder, Silverline Ventures “So I've read that book. I've known you for a long time, and followed you, and had a lot of great respect for you.” Jeff Clark Gold Analyst, Author & Speaker Follow the Wiggin Sessions on Social Media!
