Time To End The Money Monopoly on Wall Street and In Silicon Valley
(GO TIME 2025 BOOKS)
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to the field of investments, inclusive of investing in all asset classes, and in particular to investing in hedge funds, without risking financial principal. The primary focus of the invention is to provide a method for investing in riskier assets while guaranteeing investment principal. The invention establishes principal guaranteed investments, which include, but are not limited to, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, indices, philanthropy and investments related to all asset classes.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a system and method for implementing a hedge fund business model. The system and methods are preferably implemented by computer software stored and executed on a general purpose computer. This computer provides the Investor with the ability to direct the operation of the computer to invest in a hedge fund.
PRINCIPAL GUARANTEED SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD, Patents #9965806 #10776882
Abstract: A system and method for mass market hedge fund investing is proposed that preferably works in conjunction with the U.S. Treasury's Treasury Direct program for direct investment in U.S. Government securities. A primary investment in a principal-guaranteed, fixed term financial instrument, such as U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Notes, Bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) having principal linked to the Consumer Price Index, wherein the principal is guaranteed to the extent of the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, generates an interest income stream. The interest stream is electronically diverted to a separate account within an aggregated pool invested in a hedge fund over a predetermined time horizon. The fund is preferably run by an experienced chief portfolio strategist and a money-management team.
In a preferred embodiment, at inception the Investor selects both a time horizon for securities under the U.S. Treasury Direct (USTD) program and for the interest stream generated and used to increase his hedge fund holdings. Under the USTD program, individual investors can set up an account and purchase electronic securities directly from the U.S. Treasury. Treasury Direct account holders may purchase 4, 13, and 26-Week Treasury Bills, 2 3, 5, and 10-Year Notes, and 5, 10, and 20-Year TIPS. 30-Year Bonds will also be available when they are re-introduced by Treasury. Semiannual interest and final maturity payments are sent through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to the Investor's designated financial institution account. Interest and maturity payments may be sent to two different locations, depending upon the Investor's investment needs. The time horizon for the interest investment stream can be coordinated with the maturity date of the respective treasury that the Investor initially chooses. The Investor can plan with exactness for the timely payout of his guaranteed principal portion from the U.S. Government as well as the monies invested with the hedge fund or other asset class.
The combined management and research fees would be reported to the investor-shareholders in the fund, thereby creating transparency and accountability.
_____
The custody arrangement with Custodian is prearranged at inception of the investing process. Investor opens an individual electronic funds transfer account and a Hedge Fund Sales and Marketing Account. Such accounts are in complete compliance with all banking regulations. Holding Company is provided with authorization to access accounting information pertaining to Sales and Marketing Account so that it can maintain oversight of the flow of investor's funds. Custodian, as a service provider, will have the primary responsibility for meeting all of the reporting requirements dictated by U.S. banking guidelines and regulations. Holding Company selects the Custodian and ensures that the bank selected remains viable. Preferably, by utilizing only U.S. banks and other regulated savings institutions. Holding Company can provide an additional safeguard for Investor as well as administrative efficiency effectuated by ever greater computer processing and redundant and secure computational resources

Research Department 370 is responsible for discovering new investment opportunities and information for Hedge Fund Manager 360. Research Department 370 preferably utilizes an objective template to analyze companies invested in during the second time horizon, no matter the size of the company. The key features are that such objective research a) eliminates (as much as possible) the issue of “bias” in analysis of a company, by taking both a “long” and “short” perspective on all companies under analysis and b) can be used by fund managers and company CEOs to better understand their companies' operations. Only the actual research costs will accrue towards the research fees. The Director of Research, selected by the Board of Directors of Holding Company 350, has primary responsibility for overseeing the research process. The Director of Research is responsible for identifying promising new technologies that have surfaced which may have business application and also fledgling new companies whose business or technology offer a potentially exciting investment opportunity. Research Department 370 preferably has a team of individuals available to Hedge Fund Manager 360 to perform fundamental research on selected stocks and market sectors and trends.

If You Want to Win on Wall Street...
End the War on Women
End the War on Education
End the War on the Environment and on New Energy.
Demand and Solutions are Catalysts too.
We went live with The Next Big Investments on Wall Street on July 3rd, 2005. Sure, I was trying to read the tea leaves like anyone else who doesn't sport a crystal ball on their desk, but my research clearly showed that these six main categories (Women, Education, Environment, Solutions, Demand and Energy) were all dramatically changing our planet for the better while driving far greater efficiencies like never before. Today, a decade later, this is now clearly the case.
But then a funny thing happened, that wasn't funny at all. Both the aggressive and passive-aggressive forces that profit from the status quo, kicked in. And for the past decade their outsized pay checks and disproportionate bonuses have kept on flowing their way too. I'm shocked frankly that so-called sophisticated investors from Family Offices to Pension Funds to Endowments, are willing to continue to back these losers. Bad actors and/or once talented investors, like old baseball players, way past their prime, who are nothing more than vultures after investor money.
Vultures that I compare to being like tyrants of wars past and terrorists today, all making destructive and desperate attempts to promote perverse ideologies in an attempt at world domination (did anyone say "Masters of the Universe" and YES, I am comparing The War on Women, The War on Education, The War on The Environment and The War on New Energy to tyrant's regimes of wars past and also to present day terrorists ...i.e. A small faction of the population that try and manipulate the populist into submission by force, intimidation, and greed).
Odd thing is though, back in the day, Wall Street was all about betting on greater efficiency. Before, that is, Wall Street was hijacked by the too big to fail Banks and the destructive forces of narcissism, elitism and greed that permeate the male dominated venture capital, private equity and hedge fund world (to call out the staid and underperforming hedge fund and Alternatives world we're in).
In retrospect, with hindsight being 20/20, a decade ago these six Contrarian but emerging bets (Women, Education, Environment, Solutions, Demand and Energy...New Energy) were not only spot on where the smart money should be, but is today exactly where the smart money needs to be to be able to make long-term, sustainable investments. The best thing about sustainable investments?? Unlike bets on a roulette table, they continue to pay off for years.
One additional thought. Speaking of catalysts. Since posting The Next Big Investments on Wall Street back in 2005, it has also become clear to me that Intellectual Property is the Mother-of-All Catalysts, dramatically driving The Markets today. We are, and I suggest that you be on the lookout and hunt for patents and other additional intellectual property that relates in any way to any and/or all six major categories: Women, Education, Environment, Solutions, Demand and (New) Energy. That's where we are today. 2015. (a couple edits done for clarity and relevancy.)

Rich Siegel is among the first to invest in intellectual property as catalyst and unique asset class. In 1997, as a work-from-home Dad, with two preschool age children and inspired by Joe Nocera’s 1994 book, “A Piece of the Action,” Rich began to design a proprietary research, investment company business model and created numerous financial products, including “Principal Guarantee” 2006 Patent, granted 2018; and a mobile GUI (AUGMAT) for ultrafast, information intensive research, that serves as a platform for Augmented Communications and Enterprise Solutions (ACES). Rich is strictly a long-term investor, an avid and life long deep-dive researcher and inventor. He can occasionally be found playing golf and poker in Las Vegas. His best in-the-money finish to date was at the 2009 World Series of Poker, Ante Up For Africa tournament. It was his third attempt to win for Ante Up For Africa and his only WSOP cash to date. In the early 1980s Rich attended Syracuse University. At SU he purchased and read most every day both The Wall Street Journal and The Daily Racing Form, while playing poker and handicapping horses. Wall Street was more staid back then but change was a foot. So in 1983 he bought (with horse race winnings) a Commodore SX-64 with an idea that he could better handicap horses, and, just maybe, pick a stock or two as well. He exited SU early and headed to Wall Street to trade options. At the last minute, though, he decided to fold his "Street" hand completely and instead created a key lime pie and sold it out of his Mom's kitchen (the Commodore SX-64 proved far slower than horses and stock jockeys, the pie was later licensed to Legal Sea Foods). Rich's original "Wall Street" research Co. was Chilport Proprietary Research circa 1998. Today Boston Long Wharf Innovations & Ventures includes, Oceanshade (Science & The Climate Crisis), Rivershade (Talent & The Arts), Liferaft Pro, THE DEEP TECH FIVE: AI, AR, VR, ML, TR, his "Hedged" IP Portfolios, Fuel Cells, PulsatiH2,, AUGMAT, and the "New Energy Garage & Pro Device Lab" all coincide with 2005, The Next Big Investments on Wall Street & Venture/Hedge Technologies, launched Jan. 12, 2015. All under one roof and Holding Company to be based in Boston, MA and Las Vegas, NV. BOSTON LONG WHARF INNOVATIONS & VENTURES. Founded 2/2/22. Think APPLE & Braeburn Capital as designed by Steve Jobs circa 2005.

Re: The Next Big Investment on Wall Street, 2025-2055: SPACE
By Rich Siegel
July 20th, 2024
On Tuesday of last week NASA got out ahead of the biggest historical news story of this Saturday morning, July 20, 2024, when 55 years ago American innovation, grit and perseverance landed Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the surface of the moon where they set foot.
Mission accomplished that was set forth on September 12th, 1962 by President John F. Kennedy at Rice University in his "We Choose to Go to The Moon" speech.
Said President Kennedy at Rice on that day in 1962...
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
"It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the presidency."
This morning Buzz Aldrin posted on Twitter (X)...
"July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wondrous journey with me."
LAUNCH CODE MARS...
When I determined after a decade of research and then ultimately posted on the Internet "The Next Big Investments on Wall Street (nextbiginvestments.com) on July 3rd, 2005 had I had a 100 year time horizon instead of 20 & 30 years, I stated unequivocally in 2005 that SPACE would have been The Next Big Investment, #1.
While my six best investments in 2005, Women, Education, Environment, Solutions, Demand and (New) Energy are all facing extreme opposition and push back as I write this, each has become A MILLENNIAL FORCE and with that, vast blue sky. Therefore, on this memorable, amazing day, SPACE is The Next Big Investment on Wall Street in 2025.
As far as we go in SPACE will determine just how far we go here on Earth. We are in the age of DEEP TECH that will take us to where STAR TREK dreamed possible.
There's only one way we get to MARS and beyond. Our Best and Brightest, period. Same here on earth v. The Climate Crisis, Hunger, Poverty, Sexism, Racism and Homophobia. Ultimately PEACE will be determined by how far we go in SPACE.
p.s. -- Buzz Aldrin famously wore a tee shirt that said, "Get Your Ass To Mars." So LFG!!
