Sunday Edition - November 24, 2025

Good afternoon Member

Happy Sunday, my dear GrayViners. I hope you can forgive us for the late arrival today (technology was not friendly!). Better late than never, as they say? Now, I’m excited to share something with you! Last night, I took my first shot at making homemade pizza. Let’s just say the kitchen survived, the smoke alarm behaved, and the end result actually tasted… pretty good! It made me think of all of you and the joy of sharing simple, cozy moments together each morning.

Now, that brings us right into today’s question: Which pizza do you like better—New York style or Chicago's deep dish? Are you a thin, foldable slice kind of person, or is your heart set on a knife-and-fork deep dish? Head to the forum and let us know—your stories and preferences always make my day.

Alright, my favorite GrayViners, settle in and get comfy. Let’s roll right into today’s stories: Bigger Social Security bumps, a must-see recall, a $10 Thanksgiving meal, and a chance at up to $3,000 bonus.

But what can you actually DO about the proclaimed ‘AI bubble’? Billionaires know an alternative…

Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?

Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).

Look at these old tickets—don’t they feel like opening a time capsule? This was back when calling something an "E-ticket Ride" meant it was exciting and cool. It’s wild how they bring back the smell of popcorn on Main Street, the sound of the Mark Twain whistle, and the excitement walking through the gates.
