I’ve got a lot of ground today, but I thought I’d start us out with solving a teaser pitch for you… you’ll see why I chose this one in a moment.
Marc Lichtenfeld is out with a new pitch for a high-end Oxford Club service he’s launching called Predictive Profits ($1,497 “on sale” from $4,000, no refunds), and the key tease he’s dangling to get subscribers is “the ticker symbol for my #1 crypto stock” that will be revealed in a special report that he calls “The Tiny Crypto Stock Every American Should Own.” That has generated some reader questions, and I’m seeing the ad a lot over the last day or two, so even though it’s not at all a tough teaser to solve we’re going to spend a little time on it for you, my favorite reader.
Here’s the intro to the tease:
“DON’T Pay $50,000-Plus for Bitcoin (Do THIS Instead)
✔ 36 crypto opportunities
✔ One investment
✔ Under $30”
And, as in so many of my favorite teaser pitches, he shows some Google images of the company’s headquarters to make it seem like he’s a private eye on a stakeout, really doing boots on the ground research…
“In this unassuming office building…
“10 minutes from Wall Street…
“One tiny company is collecting cash 24/7 in a market that NEVER closes.”
Exciting, right? And though it’s in New York, it doesn’t trade on a major US exchange — exotic!

“The average person doesn’t even know it exists.
“But if you know how to claim shares of this under-the-radar company…
“You could collect a substantial sum from the crypto markets.”
The ad then rolls through a lot of the general “crypto is growing” stuff that you already have heard many places — companies like Tesla are buying in, big-name investors who shunned it years ago are piling on, and the total market value for all cryptocurrencies has gotten too big to ignore, over $2 trillion now.
And he posits this as an easier entry to the market for regular folks…
“This crypto opportunity costs less than $30.
“And it’s a STOCK… not a token or coin.
“So you WON’T have ...
