The Altucher Confidential

(THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER WRITTEN A POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT.) When Brooklyn Borough President and current candidate for Mayor, Eric Adams, was a young teenager, he and his brother were victims of severe police brutality. Eric came through this resolving not to be bitter about the past but to create change in the future. While […]

  Inflation would be the greatest thing to happen to me. I selfishly want the government to spend as much money as possible. “You can’t print money forever!” everyone is shouting. Yes you can. And they will. They’ve been printing money for decades, and only now it’s making the headlines. The reason I am selfishly […]

I wanted to learn a perfect investment strategy. And when I say “perfect,” I mean: I want to buy stocks, and in the long run make a lot of money. There! Honest. For some people, a perfect investing strategy means: Make money every day. For other people it might mean: BUY CRYPTO!!!!!! For other people, […]

[Editor’s Note: This is the first part in a special series we are doing on innovations in cloud computing.

Phil has an incurable disease. His esophagus doesn’t work. It gets worse and worse and eventually he might not be able to talk or eat. But he seems fine. “I am fine,” he told me. “Because of the same method I use to elect Presidents.” — “Is this the most important election ever?” I asked […]

A few months ago, we gave my daughter race car driving lessons… She got into a Formula 2 car with an instructor and after many lessons she now has a race car driving license. In her first race, she came in second. I’m proud of her. I hope she stays interested in it. And I […]

I pitched a TV show, “I Will Make You a Millionaire.” I pitched it to NBC, ABC, Fox, CBS, Netflix, and more.  The idea was: I would take 10 random people and, using the techniques that later went into my book, “Skip the Line,” I would make them a millionaire in six months. I was […]

I am officially a candidate for President of the United States in 2024 and you should do it also. I went to the website for the Federal Elections Commission. I filled out all the paperwork. It took me 10 minutes. It cost me zero money. Now I am an official candidate in the eyes of […]

“Altucher’s new book, Skip the Line, is his best book EVER. It’s his first book filled with practical advice that has worked for him and others. I wish I read it when I was a young comedian.” – Jerry Seinfeld. “You can’t skip the line, James.” I wanted to be a hedge fund manager but […]

I am an innovationist. Any policy that encourages more innovation in society will lead to greater prosperity, more jobs, higher incomes, more money given to the government through taxes, and the cycle will repeat.  I don’t care which political party is an office. But I do wish there were a basic understanding of financial policies, […]
