As an investor focused on uncovering alpha opportunities, I've noticed that discussions around certain stocks or sectors can sometimes spark unintended sensitivities—whether due to leadership religious backgrounds (eg did a Q&A Question last week and had no idea the CEO belonged to a certain religious group), ethical implications (like AI in life-saving tech), or Tesla (I went thru the worst time w Tesla late 2024 early 2025).

My goal is always to share insightful, high-potential alpha ideas while respecting community dynamics. I've always personally steered clear of sectors like defense or tobacco to maintain a positive focus but with AI some of those lines are blurring.

Vote below and feel free to reply with thoughts—your feedback shapes what comes next!

James, my wife and I have been with you since 2021... your strength is in delivering unfiltered, data-driven insights that uncover real alpha opportunities. Staying true to your approach, even when it ruffles feathers, is what sets you apart. Keep digging deep and sharing the data-driven truth... your community values your authenticity and trusts your analysis to navigate any sensitivities with clarity and respect. Semper-Fi

Honestly James, you should swear more! Just be yourself, and personally I find the milquetoast listeners just plain annoying. Grow up people. James is the least offensive, most caring influencer I've ever listened to on the internet.

Its 10% if your community that are sensitive Sally's. You can't make everyone happy. Share whatever and fk everyone's feelings!

The "cry babies" are the vocal minority. The loudest and rudest. The most uncultured, "educated" but unintelligent, and disconnected from reality. It's the same in real life just as it is online. Share the alpha and let the whinny whimpers drown in their own tears.

Share the alpha. We should all be intelligent, mature and rational enough to do what each feels is best with that data.

Alpha > Everything. *Salute*

Everyone's sensitivities are going to be different, so it'd be difficult to implement. I'd give myself as an example: I'd never buy a stock like Coca Cola these days, as I think their sugary beverages business is bad for people and society (and artificial sweeteners they use have their own issues). It's been in the market for many decades and most people wouldn't call it an investment fraught with ethical dilemmas! I'm certainly not going to go around implying that others shouldn't buy it or getting upset at people for talking about it though. Everyone gets to make their own ethical choices

Keep at it James. I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm nearing retirement and SS is a big joke which I will not rely on. I will speak for myself, I have no time to be sensitive on any subjects. I've been following you for more than 4 years before I joined the patreon and in this time around, ALPHA is the way to get out of this rotted system. Thank you James for all you do. GOD BLESS YOU. Just be you and if others don't like it, they can leave.

One thing I have learned is intelligence and money are not a guaranteed parity . I have also witnessed emotion just destroy people in the worst ways, for example, I was slowly trying to orange pill my daughters M-in-law, very lightly trying to push her towards the information she would need to turn the light bulb on. ( She has 2 masters degree's ) smarter than me I might guess? She kept cutting me off and saying I would never convert her! I replied that I never spoke anything close to the accusation rather draw a picture of the blockchain, explain bearer assets, and how they are important AF in the AI and FIAT nightmare trailers that are rolling in. She didn't hear anything past Bitcoin and freedom and doubled down on the statement, I don't invest! never covert me! So I am guessing they store FIAT in place of investing? Seems really odd to me, but I see them AC the home with the backdoor open 90% of the day, while complaining about the electric bill this summer! I said nothing about the obvious, but not even entertaining something so simple that could change their lives for the better because of emotion. Business/Emotion are very easy for me 2 compartmentalize (practice practice) So I take interest in the fact that the average person can not separate the two drastically opposing mindsets from touching like peas and carrots on your dinner plate. Talking about business and some trigger goes off and boom! Lost! conversation objective forgotten and emotion derails the mindset and forward progress of business at hand. Same thing on Patreon, triggers, triggers everywhere, then here comes the wasted energy blocking alpha and winning for nothing. I believe like many things MK Ultra and traditional couch programming Beit the news or commercial are partially to be blamed. I am convinced the left and the right are dividing us Americans in every way possible, the evidence is almost undeniable! Race card, female power card, both parties are 100% pointing the other screaming devil! Hit in Head with Hammers! Shot in the neck! back n forth, it is out of hand, and has been! There will be no change but for the worse if we do not make conscious effort to come together and realize we are all unique and have varying perspectives however, when consciously making adjustments for America to come together in the middle and let the States filter through any hard liners so everyone is happy again. We are the government, we have the power still (goin fast though Patriot!) America has to unite, reunite in our communities, know your neighbors etc. look out for each other while this shift Tsunami's through us in the coming decade. Our systems are broken, all of them I believe. 330 million people have to agree we want what the slogan reads MAGA who doesn't want that? Term limits/congress No more Dark money elections and cap donations (Maybe just 1 uniparty American Party let the best person win? Look! I got triggered !! Oh well, I love my country and I love our people and I want to be the change however, I am paddling out to make sure I am on the right side of this Paradigm wave rushing towards us and if nobody is uniting and fixing the mess WE made, then I will find the new beacon.
