If you'd told me a decade ago that I'd be writing about hundred-year-olds' blood cells holding the secret to eternal youth, I would've thought you'd been reading too much science fiction.
Yet here I am, staring at data from a revolutionary new stem cell bank that's making immortality hunters drool and investors' wallets itch.
But let’s ground this exciting idea in the real world for a moment.
Let me back up a bit. Last week, while having dinner with a biotech analyst friend – let's call her Sarah – she couldn't stop talking about a groundbreaking new collection of stem cells derived from centenarians.
These remarkable individuals have done more than just reach triple digits – they've managed to dodge the usual buffet of age-related diseases that claim most of us long before we hit 100. But what makes this discovery particularly intriguing for us is how it bridges cutting-edge science with immediate market potential.
"These people aren't just old," Sarah explained, jabbing her fork at me for emphasis, "they're biologically younger than their birth certificates suggest." The data backs her up – these super-agers are clocking in at an average of 6.55 years younger than their chronological age. It's like finding a 1960 Corvette with the engine of a 2017 model.
And this biological time warp isn't just a scientific curiosity – it's becoming a goldmine for biotechnology companies looking to unlock the secrets of healthy aging.
Scientists can now take these centenarians' blood cells and reprogram them into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), creating a renewable source of cellular youth. Think of it as cellular time travel – these cells can become virtually any type of cell in the body, from heart muscle to brain neurons.
This versatility is precisely why the global stem cell therapy market has swelled to $11.8 billion and is projected to reach $31 billion by 2032.
Still, the field isn't without its volatility – funding swings from $1.2 billion in late 2022 to $233 million in early 2023 show just how quickly investor sentiment can shift in this space.
The investment landscape here is particularly fascinating because it spans both established players and innovative upstarts. Lineage Cell Therapeutics (LCTX) is targeting neurodegenerative diseases with cell-based therapies, while Athersys (ATHXQ) pushes forward with its MultiStem technology.
These companies are betting big on cellular solutions to age-related diseases, though we should watch trial results as carefully as they monitor their retirement accounts.
What sets these centenarian-derived cells apart is their unique genetic profile. Their immune cells show shifts and genetic variants that seem to protect against diseases that usually send most of us to the great beyond decades earlier.
Some male centenarians even show mosaic loss of the Y chromosome – a genetic quirk that might contribute to their longevity. This isn't just fascinating biology. It's practically a roadmap for developing new therapeutics.
The real game-changer is how these cells can serve as "disease-in-a-dish" models. Want to study Alzheimer's? Transform these cells into neurons. Curious about heart disease? Make some cardiac cells.
This capability is revolutionizing drug development, allowing companies to test new treatments more efficiently and potentially reduce the astronomical costs of bringing new drugs to market.
For those eyeing this space, the demographic trends are compelling. The world's population isn't getting any younger, and healthcare systems are groaning under the weight of age-related diseases.
That means companies that can leverage these iPSC lines for drug screening or biomarker development might strike it rich before anyone finds the fountain of youth.
The open-source nature of this iPSC resource is accelerating progress across the entire field. Like the early days of Linux, it's not about one company holding all the cards, but rather a collaborative rush toward breakthroughs.
This shared knowledge base is already helping researchers validate findings and refine therapeutic strategies, potentially shortening the timeline from discovery to approved treatment.
Looking ahead, we're set to watch as cellular biology and big data converge in ways we never imagined. So, the question now isn't if this field will transform medicine, but when – and more importantly for us, who will lead the charge.
Just remember, in biotech as in life, patience isn't just a virtue – it's a necessity. These breakthroughs move at their own pace, usually somewhere between "glacial" and "watched pot never boils." But when they hit? Well, that's when fortunes are made and medical textbooks are rewritten.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to check on my portfolio of longevity stocks. After all, I'm planning to live long enough to see how this all plays out – and maybe even long enough to benefit from these breakthrough treatments myself.

It isn’t a shocker that the first deal to go through in 2025 is in digital sports streaming.
This sub-sector is scorching hot.
It was only just a few days ago when Netflix rolled out its debut in streaming NFL during Christmas when they broadcasted 2 games.
Live American football – not the European variant - is the holy grail of digital content and the beefiest of marketers with the deepest of pockets will cough up to place their ads in these commercial slots.
Disney (DIS) will combine its Hulu + Live TV business with sports streamer FuboTV (FUBO) in the first major media dealmaking move of 2025.
Disney will control 70% of Fubo. Shareholders of the sports streamer will own the remaining 30% of the combined business, which will operate under the Fubo publicly traded company name.
Disney is struggling in many parts of their business, for example, is underperforming in their theme parks.
Their movies also suck.
Pro football is the last bastion of premium content and even the woke employees at Disney understand that.
Disney stock has essentially halved since 2021 with shareholders furious about their lack of strategic vision.
The acquisition of Fubo gives Disney a chance to restart in a sub-sector that has a glowing future.
Cord cutters are exploding and since last year’s Presidential election, the trust in legacy media has never been at such a low ebb, and rightly so with the poor level of content quality.
The combination of the two businesses will form one of the largest digital pay-TV providers as consumers search for cable alternatives amid increased cord-cutting.
Fubo, which offers users access to live TV channels over the internet, has primarily focused on sports.
Hulu + Live TV, categorized as a cable replacement option — similar to YouTube TV — allows users to stream from about 100 live TV channels across sports, news, and entertainment.
As a much smaller player, Fubo struggled with high content costs and the ability to curb subscriber churn and adequately compete in the marketplace — hence the lawsuit's inception.
The three companies first announced the joint venture last year, with an expected price point of $42.99 a month. The service will bring together their respective slates of sports rights and comes as media companies face pressure from investors to scale their streaming services and achieve profitability.
I’m not saying that digital streaming of pro sports is easy.
We aren’t in the early innings.
Content costs are astronomically high and subscriber churn can be a problem in the offseason.
The nightmare could end up like the NBA.
Look at sports like pro basketball (NBA, viewership is down 50% this season as subscribers flee the sinking ship.
The basketball commissioner created a model where most teams make the playoffs meaning the 82 game schedule has been deemed irrelevant causing their best stars to sit out games.
It’s just one example of the management of pro sports going down the drain and pro football isn’t immune to bad management too.
As it stands, I highly support Disney’s foray into Fubo and Fubo would be a great stock to pick up and hold at $4.80.
The stock is up from $1.44 this morning.
Live pro sports still fetches a premium and I don’t believe that will change any time soon.
Jump into tech stocks that have big investments planned in American football.
Much of the big growth opportunities have been saturated and I do believe the tech market will become more of a zig-zag trading market in 2025.

(IN 2024, THE TRADITIONAL SANTA RALLY DIDN’T APPEAR, SO WHAT DOES 2025 AND BEYOND LOOK LIKE?)
January 6, 2025
Hello everyone
Happy New Year!Wishing you all good things for 2025.
I’m back on deck for a new year.I hope you are all well-rested and ready for another year navigating the markets.
So, what can we expect for 2025?
In Australia, economists indicate that 2025 offers no solutions to the economic problems of the past year.However, we can expect an easing of interest rates and inflation.
China’s sluggish economy has the potential to weigh down Australia.
US President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated for a second term later in January, with the full extent of his promised tariffs a key factor for the economic outlook.
He’s pledged the mass deportations of migrant workers and a huge reduction in government regulation of different industries.
For the economy, the biggest impact will likely be from tariffs imposed on goods from foreign countries, including steep taxes on Mexico, Canada, and China.
It is yet unknown whether Trump will follow through on the announced rate of tariffs on these countries.
(DOGE) leader Elon Musk could trim the fat in government departments, making the system work more efficiently.
Unemployment begins to rise in 2025.
Interest rates are finally cut in Australia in the first half of the year.
In the last two decades, in Australia, migration increased to about 60 percent of growth in an average year and natural increases were the other proportion – about 40 percent.
Migration is now up to 83 percent of our growth … so, record population increases in Australia.
Demographer, Mark McCrindle, believes Australia’s population could reach 50 million by the 2050’s.
He also points out, that Australia is not keeping up with a heightened population demand on critical infrastructure such as housing.
McCrindle argues that the “population growth is greater than the built environment growth and that’s really what’s driving the housing affordability challenges, that demand is exceeding supply.”
So, as you can imagine, no relief yet on Australia’s housing crisis.(It is a similar story in the U.S.)
People will continue to move to regional areas away from the big cities – Sydney & Melbourne – to look for affordable living options with flexible working conditions.
Globally, McCrindle predicts the population will grow as high as 10 billion by the 2080’s, before stabilizing.He said the world was already experiencing increased rates of population contraction – meaning fewer people are being born annually – and this trend was likely to continue.
We will continue to see technological innovations.AI technology is on our doorstep, but Australians appear to be slow to take up new technologies.An attitude of distrust seems to be an issue.The AI “big brother” lens is not palatable for everyone.Nevertheless, AI will no doubt increase efficiency and cut costs in many sectors & industries, which will likely be passed on to the consumer. The chip industry and the main heavyweights will continue to do well as demand will not go away.Quantum computing is not far away.
Geopolitical conflicts have been increasing in intensity in the last few years.Strategic Analysis Australia founder, Michael Shoebridge, argues there is a credible scenario “There could be a global war this decade and that can be because of the rise of nationalism we’re seeing, particularly in places like Russia and China.”
Shoebridge comments that just like before World War I, the world in 2025 is witnessing a “revolution in warfare” with newly innovated weaponry, and leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the United States president-elect Donald Trump blindly moving closer to a full-scale war.
S&P500
2024 was a stellar year for stocks, but in 2025 Equities may pause for a period this year before another major rally takes place.
Over a period of 6-9 months, the S&P500 could possibly fall towards $4,800, or even lower, but will then rally in the final part of the year.2026 and 2027 could be good years for the market.
If the markets do take the bear path, FANG stocks could fall 20% or more.
Of course, these predictions depend, somewhat, on what Donald Trump actually does when he enters the White House.If nothing changes, then a rally could well take place, and stocks could rise into nosebleed territory.Time will tell.
PRECIOUS METALS
Gold and silver will remain financial safe havens.As confidence in fiat currencies erodes amidst economic instability, gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies are emerging as pillars of financial security.With geopolitical tensions rising, central banks hoarding reserves, and inflation fears mounting, many analysts project gold could rally toward $3,500 per ounce – and possibly higher.Unlike fiat money, gold isn’t tied to the whims of governments or central banks, making it a trusted store of value during crises.
I see gold and silver continuing to range in the first instance this year and then, possibly, gradually moving lower towards $2,400 and even $2,200 is possible.In the second half of the year, we could see a rally towards $3,000.Late last year I suggested selling calls on gold and silver stocks.At the moment this is still a good play.
THE CRYPTO REVOLUTION
Crypto should shine this year.The election of Donald Trump has shaken up the markets, particularly in the cryptocurrency space.His administration has swiftly installed crypto-friendly leaders in key positions, including Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, FDIC Chair Jelena McWilliams, Dept of Govt Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Mush, and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., who has become the face of the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. These appointments signal the end of anti-crypto policies while positioning Bitcoin and other digital assets as strategic components of the U.S. economy.
Bitcoin is expected to rally well this year.With increasing institutional adoption, corporate treasuries diversifying into Bitcoin, and even nation-states taking on board the idea, Bitcoin could easily reach $150,000 and beyond this year.Some are even predicting $250,000 by December.
Why is this happening now?
Many factors:
Greater regulatory clarity, the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs), and institutional players continuing to pour large amounts of capital into Bitcoin.These developments not only seem to set Bitcoin’s position as a store of value but signal that it’s well on its way to becoming a dominant force in the global economy.
Bitcoin isn’t the only crypto that will rally this year.Investors and/or traders should also be looking at Ethereum.This coin has a valuable ecosystem of decentralized applications (d’Apps) and smart contracts.The introduction of Ethereum 2.0, which promises faster transactions and a more energy-efficient proof-of-stake mechanism, combined with Ethereum’s role at the heart of decentralized finance (DeFi), may well incentivise mass adoption.With more institutions and businesses adopting Ethereum-based platforms, the token could rally strongly, riding the wave of growing trust in blockchain technology.There is potential for Ethereum to rally towards $8000.
Another coin that could have a bright future is Ripple.Some experts are predicting that XRP could hit $10 in 2025. Faster, cheaper transactions offer banks and corporations a more efficient way to process payments across borders, making it a preferred choice for many in the financial world.Further igniting its popularity is the endorsement by high-profile figures like Elon Musk, who recently mentioned XRP in the context of his support for decentralized technologies. Musk’s influence could boost XRP’s visibility and attract new investors and institutional partners.As blockchain technology continues to reshape the global financial landscape, Ripple’s XRP could become the backbone of cross-border payments, setting its place as a key player in the future of global finance.
Utility coins, too, are gaining acceptance and popularity.These coins go beyond mere speculations, offering real-world value by supporting initiatives and candidates committed to preserving liberty and individual rights.For example, USA Unity Coin (UUC) empowers Americans to back pro-freedom political leaders while participating in a decentralized financial ecosystem.Coins like UUC are providing a unique opportunity to drive change.UUC, in particular, is on a mission to safeguard the principles of freedom in the digital age.
ENERGY
Energy was one of the worst-performing sectors last year.Will it be the same this year?Much depends on supply and demand, and the ongoing conflicts around the world.
Geopolitical risks threaten investment, environmental regulations, and infrastructure.
In 2025 oil prices could keep ranging for a period before the market finds a low and a bullish move begins.
Hold on to traditional energy stocks like (XOM)Exon Mobil, (CVX) Chevron, and (OXY)Occidental Petroleum.They should do well in the future.
By 2030, the use of renewables will probably increase by over 430%.Nuclear energy and hydroelectricity will expand by 54.5% and 48.5% respectively.
So, nuclear energy stocks should definitely be on your list.Look at (CCJ) Cameco Corp. (VST) Vistra Energy (a good buy now- scale in), (CEG) Constellation Energy, (SMR) Nu-Scale Power Corporation (A good buy now –scale in)
Santa didn’t deliver at the close of 2024
In contrast to what had been a very strong 2024 performance, the year ended without any fanfare at all.The S&P500 rose more than 23% last year but ran out of puff at year's end.Does the absence of a Santa rally mean a lacklustre market or a period of underperformance lies ahead for stocks?Some analysts believe the returns may not be as robust as in years when we did enjoy a Santa rally. On average then, we can expect around a 6.5% return.At any rate, January usually sets the tone for the rest of the year, so we need to take note and see what markets are telling us.History reminds us that when January is positive, the S&P500 averages a 6.9% gain on a six-month forward basis.When it’s negative, the index falls 0.6%.
The December jobs report is released this Friday.And with inflation data released later this month, we could get a much clearer picture of the path of interest rates going forward.A slowdown in job growth is expected.This week will be a good test for the dollar, with employment statistics and Fed speeches.

While driving to my local Trader Joe's last weekend, a friend of mine called, panicking about missing out on the AI revolution. "Should I dump my tech giants and buy every AI startup I can find?" he blurted, sounding like he’d just read a headline predicting the end of civilization as we know it.
I had to chuckle. It reminded me of the dot-com boom when my dentist was giving me stock tips while drilling my teeth. But here's the thing - this time really is different, and I've got the mind-bending numbers to prove it.
Let me share something that will knock your socks off: every four months - about the time it takes for the seasons to change - the cost of running AI models drops by half. That's not a typo.
Compare that to Moore's Law, which took a leisurely 18-24 months to achieve the same cost reduction. We're witnessing the fastest cost decline of any technology in human history.
Want a real head-spinner? In 2020, training a GPT-4 model would have set you back $6 billion - enough to buy several Caribbean islands or a fleet of private jets. By 2026, your teenager's smartphone will pack the same punch. Talk about deflation.
And you know who's feeling that sting most? Our friends at Google (GOOG). Back in 2020, they looked invincible with their 8.5 billion daily searches, mountains of data, and a budget that could buy a small country.
But by 2023, OpenAI had beaten them to the punch with ChatGPT, leaving Google playing catch-up. Even now, using Google's best AI models costs customers 40% more than OpenAI's equivalents. That's like showing up to a price war with premium pricing.
Speaking of tech giants moving at glacial speed, Apple (AAPL), the company that redefined cool, seems oddly uncool about AI.
Four years after OpenAI released GPT-3, Apple finally entered the game, admitting its models wouldn't measure up to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Meta's (META) Llama 3. (Meta's name choices may be questionable, but their AI game isn't.)
Why the lag? Big companies have big reputations, and AI has a way of going rogue. One moment it’s crafting poetry, and the next, it’s confidently hallucinating facts.
For firms like Apple or Google, whose brands rely on trust, the risk of unleashing an unpredictable AI model is a PR nightmare waiting to happen. So, they’re hedging their bets, sanding off AI’s sharp edges.
Take Apple’s upcoming image generator: it offers a limited set of options, as if customers can’t handle full creative freedom. It’s safe but stifling—the antithesis of AI’s potential.
Still, AI is infiltrating every sector, not just tech. In healthcare, AI models are passing medical licensing exams, potentially revolutionizing diagnostics and treatment.
Finance is using AI to personalize digital wallets, and Tesla (TSLA) is collecting mind-boggling amounts of real-world data to develop autonomous vehicles and—gulp—humanoid robots.
Actually, Tesla has been collecting more real-world data than Google could dream of. Their camera-equipped cars generated 80 quadrillion tokens of data last year alone. By decade's end, they'll hit 300 quadrillion.
And if you’re wondering where this data is going, think self-driving cars, next-level automation, and maybe a future where your AI assistant knows you better than your spouse. (Let’s hope it’s less judgy, too.)
Speaking of betting big on AI, the venture capital crowd is having a field day. In 2024, they're throwing money at AI startups like it's confetti at a Silicon Valley wedding - over $90 billion globally.
US startups are grabbing more than 40% of those dollars, and in the last three months, it's jumped to over half of all venture funding. It's like 1999 all over again, but this time with actual revenue streams.
Which brings me back to my friend and his panicked question about ditching his tech giants. My advice to him—and to you—is simple: this isn’t an either-or scenario. It’s not about choosing between established players and scrappy newcomers.
It’s more it’s about understanding who’s positioning themselves to ride the AI tsunami. Some will adapt and thrive. Others will crash and burn.
So, what does that mean for the market? In the short term, buckle up. Volatility is inevitable when a technology moves this fast. But long term, the opportunities are staggering.
As for my friend, I told him to think of AI like the early days of the internet: messy, chaotic, and bursting with potential.
Then I hung up because yet another SUV was swerving dangerously close, and the future, it seems, doesn't yet include AI-powered traffic cops.

Meta (META) migration into the eyewear business is a little bit of a head-scratcher until peeling back the layers and really understanding what is going on.
EssilorLuxottica’s agreement to prolong its long-term collaboration with Meta Platforms for the development of smart eyewear over the upcoming 10 years is a massive victory for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
This milestone offers meaningful insight into the direction of where the business model is heading.
Many have expected that Meta would start to branch out into other venues once their core businesses start to stagnate.
The digital ad game and social media platforms only go so far in terms of growth these days, and shareholders are waiting for the next big thing.
Short-term prospects are what drives the stock movement, and Meta is looking for that pixie dust.
EssilorLuxottica is the largest maker of eyewear in the world and the owner of many eyewear brands and retailers, including Ray-Ban, LensCrafters, and Pearle Vision in the U.S.
EssilorLuxottica also acquired Heidelberg Engineering, a maker of imaging and healthcare machinery and technology, largely for the ophthalmic and eyecare markets worldwide.
Prescription glasses are not cheap, ranging into the thousands of dollars for designer frames and lenses.
If Meta can figure out how to do this all online without going to the optician, imagine the juicy margins they could extract from this sort of venture.
Meta and EssilorLuxottica have a relationship for the production of the Ray-Ban smart glasses. The glasses’ latest version gives consumer’s video, camera, and Bluetooth headset capability in a stylish eyewear frame with a cool brand on it.
Heidelberg Engineering makes complex, sophisticated, expensive equipment that you may be exposed to if you’re examined in an ophthalmologist’s office. Buying Heidelberg makes EssilorLuxottica more entrenched in the industry where it is the established leader.
The tie-up with EssilorLuxottica is the perfect onboarding situation to understand how to perfect the optimal glasses and lenses and then transfer it into an online experience.
Remember, even if this investment is for VR purposes, the application revolves around virtual eyewear as well.
Meta now understands they need to secure a monopoly on eyewear, and it is a conscious decision to make that a launching point for more of their products.
In the future, Meta wants consumers to access Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook through EssilorLuxottica eyewear products.
Meta also hopes to secure the first mover advantage while other big tech firms lack the deep knowledge of eyewear. There have already been numerous failed attempts at smart glasses, and so Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg is doubling down with a relationship with Europe’s most deeply entrenched premium eyewear firm.
Although the boost to the bottom and top line won’t happen quickly with a possible relationship with EssilorLuxottica, this could anoint Meta as the gatekeeper to the new virtual world through this new eyewear tech.
It’s becoming clear that Meta is running up to certain upper limits in regards to the growth of their 3 platforms, and they are looking for another super booster to prop up profits.
I don’t believe that Meta will be allowed to acquire this eyewear company because of anti-competitive laws, but adopting its best product practices and hiring their best talent seems a lot more on brand from Meta.
Meta has never been shy at poaching outside talent and rewarding them handsomely.
On the flip side, EssilorLuxottica would be smart to adopt some tech now by hiring the right people and trying to digitize the experience further otherwise, Meta will get what they are coming for.
Meta pushing the envelope is one of the big reasons why they have stayed ahead of other big tech companies and why the stock has done so well the past few years.
Meta stock is a great short-term and long-term proposition for patient and impatient investors.
