It’s no secret that the game is rigged.
But this week we got a not-so-gentle reminder of this reality.
As reported by Business Insider, in 2020, 75 federal lawmakers invested in companies that had a direct stake in the nation’s response to COVID-19:
Lawmakers held these investments in COVID-19-minded companies as Congress was at the center of pandemic relief efforts. In 2020 and 2021, members of Congress voted on six relief bills together worth nearly $6 trillion. Congress also authorized more than $10 billion to help drug companies develop and distribute vaccines and forced health insurers to cover the cost of getting the shot.
This is essentially legalized insider trading.
It’s like George Carlin said: “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
And while this reality is something that tends to piss me off on a regular basis, I don’t let it affect my own wealth-creation strategy, and you shouldn’t either.
The truth is there will always be opportunistic bureaucrats gaming the system. And it doesn’t matter if they’re Democrats or Republicans — they’re all part of the same criminal enterprise. So why waste any bandwidth obsessing over this kind of malfeasance? Especially when there are plenty of other legal ways to build your own wealth?
One of my favorites right now is something that billionaires like Warren Buffett and Elon Musk have been using for years.
They’re called SPV royalties, and they essentially allow you to buy shares of energy companies for pennies on the dollar and then receive monthly royalties for anywhere between 15 and 20 years.

Warren Buffett has earned over $1 billion on these types of royalty deals, and individual companies use them too. Apple has pulled in more than $2 billion from its own SPV royalties, and Google has earned more than $5 billion.
Most people don’t even know about these SPV royalties because until recently, they weren’t available to investors like you and me. They were only available to those who were already millionaires and billionaires.
But the SEC recently made a rule change that gives any investor access to these same types of SPV royalty deals. And you can actually take a position in some of these deals for as little as $100.
And here’s the best part…
These royalty deals do not involve buying a single stock, and they will never be affected by broader market downturns.
To be honest, unless you’re a politician on the take, these SPV royalties are probably the safest and most consistent ways to build considerable wealth. The wealthiest 1% have been using them for years, and it’s time you get a piece of this action too.
So here’s a link to a report I wrote about these SPV royalties.
To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth…
