Lock in Gains Using Stone Creek Global
Preserve Gains Without Selling:
•Instead of selling appreciated stock (which triggers capital gains taxes), borrow against it. For example, if you hold $10 million in stock that has doubled in value, you could borrow up to $8.0 million (at 80% LTV) to use for other investments or expenses.
•This allows you to "lock in" the value of your gains by accessing cash while keeping your shares for potential further appreciation.
Diversify Investments:
•Use the loan proceeds to invest in other assets (e.g., real estate, bonds, or other stocks) to reduce concentrated risk in a single stock. SCG emphasizes this as a way to “not have all your eggs in one basket.”
•By diversifying, you protect your portfolio from volatility in the original stock, effectively securing the value of your gains.
Hedge Against Downside Risk:
•The non-recourse nature means that if the stock price plummets, you can walk away, losing only the pledged shares. This caps your downside risk while the loan proceeds remain yours to use.
•You could use part of the loan to buy put options or other hedging instruments to further protect against stock price declines.
Tax Efficiency:
•Borrowing against stock avoids triggering capital gains taxes, which would occur if you sold shares to realize gains. Interest on the loan may also be tax-deductible if used for investment purposes (consult a tax advisor).
Repay or Extend:
•If the stock continues to perform well, you can repay the loan (principal plus interest) and retain your shares.
•If the stock underperforms, you can let the lender take the shares (non-recourse), keeping the loan proceeds without further obligation.
Looking at this list, I see at least 8-10 democrats who could easily be unseated with this vote alone.
Bring on the 2026 Republican campaign ads. Start early and run them 24/7.

It would be a shame if this went viral for everyone to see on 𝕏
DOGE has cancelled a $52 MILLION payment to The World Economic Forum (WEF).
For those who are unaware, the WEF is basically a bunch of rich guys creating narratives and pushing global agendas. They get together to try to tell the rest of us what to think.
