Gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge and a portfolio stabilizer makes it a valuable asset for high-net-worth investors. But with options like physical gold, ETFs, and mining stocks, selecting the right investment vehicle requires careful consideration of goals, costs, and market dynamics. Investment options include: - Physical Gold: Offers security and independence but requires storage and insurance costs. - Gold ETFs: Provide liquidity and ease of trading, ideal for hedging inflation. - Mining Stocks: Higher risk and return potential, with tax advantages over physical gold. A mix of these vehicles can balance liquidity, security, and growth within your portfolio.

Most exclusive communities have hefty membership fees. We don’t. Here's why ?? When we started Long Angle, I heard a lot of this kind of advice: "Charge $25k/year minimum" "If it's free, people won't value it" "You need fees to maintain exclusivity" We went the opposite direction. Our community is free to join. Not because we can't charge. Our members are not as price-sensitive, and we work very hard to give them as much value as possible. We choose free because money changes relationships. And relationships are absolutely vital to how Long Angle functions. The moment you charge for access, you create a transaction. Members become customers. Relationships become services. Authentic connections turn into obligations. Think about it: When's the last time you asked a friend to Venmo you for advice? Called up a family member and charged them for introductions? That's not how real relationships work. Instead, we built something different in really the only way we thought we could: ? A space where wealth creators can drop their filters ? A community that grows through trust, not transactions ? A place where value flows naturally between peers By nature, that’s VERY difficult to do in a community designed to help people navigate wealth (this crowd is pitched and sold to constantly). I think results speak for themselves. Everyday, I log into our community & see people asking about everything from teaching their kids about money to setting up trust funds to just finding a good contractor to work on a garage — and they’re doing it all openly with people who have common experiences. Last month, over 150 members flew from around the world to meet in person. Most knew nobody. But they spent three days sharing openly about their lives, challenges, and opportunities. Why? Because there was no ulterior motive. No hidden agenda. Just peers connecting with peers. We do monetize – but differently. We’re always listening to our members to understand what they would like us to invest in to improve their experience. We take an approach to design and launch products and services to meet those needs, some of these naturally end up having a cost to run them and we pass those along. But the core community? That stays free. Because we’re not building just another exclusive club. We're creating a space where wealth creators can be authentic. Where they can drop the guards they maintain everywhere else. And authentic connection shouldn't have a price tag. #community #wealth #business #entrepreneurship

Kids learn best through hands-on experiences, and investing is no exception. Tad Fallows shared how he brings investing to life for his kids—one share at a time. Imagine gifting a child one share of stock for every birthday or holiday, giving them the option to invest their allowance. For most of us, a 92-cent dividend might not mean much, but for a child, it’s a revelation. “My son was thrilled to receive 92 cents from Microsoft dividends this month! And he knows in a few months, he’ll receive more, just for being a shareholder.” This approach turns an abstract concept into a fun, meaningful experience—opening the door to financial understanding at a young age. ?? Inspired by this approach? Join Long Angle—a community where meaningful financial conversations happen among peers who understand and support your goals. #FamilyFinance #FinancialLiteracy #InvestingForKids

Impact investing is transforming how capital shapes the world. By aligning investments with personal values, high-net-worth individuals can pursue financial returns while driving meaningful change. - Renewable energy, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture offer compelling growth opportunities while addressing critical global challenges. - Frameworks like the UN SDGs and GIIN’s IRIS+ help quantify environmental and social outcomes, but due diligence is key. - Impact investing supports values-based portfolios, diversifies risk, and promotes intergenerational discussions about purpose and wealth. - Scrutiny is vital to avoid misleading claims and ensure authentic contributions to pressing issues.

Many of you know that I recently started Long Angle with a few friends and now have an amazing team. I’m planning on being a bit more active on here to share more of our journey and would love input or any insights from you all! This is why we started it ?? — Imagine a dinner party with friends -- but one where you don't feel comfortable really talking about large parts of your life: Your recent business exit? A bit awkward. Your investment strategy? Probably not appropriate. Even something as simple as talking about the kind of birthday party feels taboo. This isn't just dinner parties. It's about living with an invisible filter – one that makes you edit every conversation you have. I call it the wealth filter. It shows up everywhere: ? Hiding investment wins and losses ? Avoiding travel conversations ? Censoring basic lifestyle choices The result? You end up living a filtered version of your life, even with some friends you've known for decades. This is especially true for first-generation wealth creators. It can be tough to find people who are navigating the same things you are. Here's what I've learned: ...there’s a real need for community for folks who are navigating wealth. Four years ago, Tad Fallows and I started brainstorming what we wanted to build next. One of the ideas was around how we approach talking about some new challenges that arise when you’ve been fortunate to have made certain career / investment choices (or just pure luck). We asked around and learned that others were facing similarly awkward (but real) questions. We were all first-generation wealth creators. We had questions. Lots of them. The conversations were incredible — and it wasn’t just about wealth; in fact, MOST conversations weren’t about wealth. They were just about life. But for the first time, we could discuss these specific topics without a filter. Word spread. Friends invited friends. What started as informal conversations grew into a community. The growth showed us something important: there are thousands of entrepreneurs and wealth creators looking for authentic connections. That's why we're building Long Angle. Today, thousands of members meet to: ? Share their journeys ? Learn from each other's mistakes ? Build real friendships ? Navigate challenges together Nobody swarming us to pitch stuff. Just real people building authentic connections. Because at the end of the day, we're all just trying to figure this out together. And hopefully we're making it possible for others to do the same. // ?? BEFORE YOU SCROLL: Do me a favor? I’m trying to figure out who’s listening out there so I can figure out what to talk about. Drop a reaction or a comment just so I can see who everyone is. #wealth #community

Are we still in the early innings of cryptocurrency's cycle, or is it nearing a peak? Bitcoin’s 2024 rally was solid, but it has yet to match the gains of previous cycles. Today, we are facing a unique blend of bullish catalysts—rising institutional inflows, regulatory shifts, and even political shifts. Market cycles are notoriously hard to predict, but understanding them can make all the difference in a high-volatility space like crypto. What are your thoughts—where are we in the crypto cycle? 36% of our members said we are in the enthusiasm stage, while 32% voted for greed. Join our high-net-worth community to engage in insightful conversations like these. #CryptoCycle #Bitcoin #CryptoInvesting #MarketCycle #InvestmentTrends #FinancialMarkets #DigitalAssets #HNW
