Kevin O'Leary just dropped $13M on a Bryant-Jordan card featuring both players' signatures and NBA uniform logos.
He doesn't care that it set the record for highest-paid sports card of all time.
His reasoning? These assets are so rare they always appreciate. And they don't get hit by recessions.
He's not alone. Sports collectibles, exotic cars, and luxury watches are seeing a flood of institutional money as trust in traditional markets erodes.
Further dollar deflation. Price inflation. More global instability. Loss of faith in the institutions that were supposed to keep your money safe.
All of it is pushing capital toward assets you can hold, wear, and protect wealth.
I'm expecting another significant jump in alt asset pricing next month as smart money keeps preparing for recession.
What alt asset moves are you making right now?
Moody's just put recession odds at 49% for 2026. Here's where smart money is moving.
