I’ve been holding VCX (Fundrise Innovation Fund) since it was only available through Fundrise before its NYSE listing in March 2026. VCX is essentially a publicly traded venture capital fund — one of the first and largest of its kind, giving retail investors access to high-growth private technology companies. Current holdings include Anthropic, Databricks, OpenAI, and SpaceX — companies most retail investors can’t access directly. The fund focuses on late-stage private tech companies across AI, machine learning, data infrastructure, and adjacent technologies, with a 1.85% annual management fee. The catch: since going public it’s been trading at a significant premium to NAV. I bought early so my cost basis is much better. Wouldn’t buy at current prices personally. Anyone else holding VCX since the early Fundrise days?

Highlights 🛢️ The Canadian oil and gas industry is undervalued and underinvested globally, presenting a significant investment opportunity. 📉 Recent declines in gold and silver prices are normal pullbacks within ongoing bull markets. 💎 Silver serves as a speculative investment, especially in junior mining stocks undervalued relative to metal prices. 💰 Gold’s value is primarily driven by fear of fiat currency purchasing power erosion, especially US dollar devaluation. ⚠️ The growing wealth gap and unfunded pension liabilities pose severe risks to fixed-income earners and pensioners. 🔥 Governments are likely to inflate away debt and pension liabilities rather than default, eroding real value. 📊 Individual investors must save, maintain liquidity, invest in gold, and educate themselves to protect and grow wealth. https://youtu.be/qZt2mX38vCQ

As we approach the end of the year, it is important to be grateful. This year has its downs (tariff war) and also its ups (subsequent recovery). Whether the market is up or down, or a V shape recovery, the most important thing is the people around you and the relationship you have with them. ​Money will come (as the overall market goes up by 10% per year). And it is important to treasure the little moments with our families, as we still can.
