Thank you for sending in questions and feedback!

These Saturday Q&As are where I clarify any loose ends and answer questions directly from readers.

So if you’re following The Million Mission, I recommend reading these Q&As closely.

Let’s get to it.

We’ve been hearing about “flying cars” for decades! Is this time supposed to be different?? – Martin

Fair question, Martin. And I understand the skepticism!

Here’s one of the earliest versions of a flying car back in 1937. This one was called the Arrowbile, which featured a 100-hp Studebaker engine and successfully flew from California to Ohio.

And here’s the AVE Mizar from 1973, which combined a Ford Pinto with the wings and engine of a Cessna Skymaster. Unfortunately the vehicle crashed on its second flight, killing both pilots.

The difference this time is that the technology is mature, the costs are coming down, and regulators are finally getting on board.

Trump’s pro-innovation stance is helping too, especially through the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program. On top of that, the FAA now has a leader with real eVTOL experience.

From the regulator’s perspective – as Wisk CEO Brian Yutko recently put it:

“In 2023, airlines flew 30 million flights, carried billions of passengers, and had zero accidents. Zero. If the system wasn’t broken, what incentive do the regulators have to change it?”

That’s the mindset regulators have been working from. But as these aircraft continue proving their safety and reliability – something I witnessed firsthand this week – expect the FAA to open the door wider for innovation.

Shares of Northern Dynasty (NAK) have taken a beating this week. What’s your thought process holding on to this stock? – Steve

Good question, Steve. I’m still holding NAK because my thesis hasn’t changed and the tide finally seems to be turning in our favor.

After years of regulatory setbacks, momentum around U.S. resource independence is building which directly benefits projects like Pebble.

The stock’s already up more than 80% from my entry but there’s plenty of room for upside if the permitting process continues to move in the right direction.

At this stage, I view it as a high-risk, high-reward position with asymmetric potential.

I created a watchlist called Whiskey Bar 2026. I’m going to pick one of them and add it to my portfolio. Which would you invest in if you had to pick just one? – Mike

Great question, Mike! First off, I’ll say that I respect every one of these investors. They each know their respective industries cold – from crypto and cybersecurity to mining and AI infrastructure.

That said, I’d also bet that a portfolio of all these names would outperform the S&P 500 next year.

Why? Because this lineup is structured like a high risk, high reward venture capital portfolio. You don’t need all nine to hit. You just need one or two to break out and the whole basket can deliver outsized returns.

If I had to pick just one though… give me Ray Blanco’s SEALSQ Corp (LAES).

I enjoy your column. Any early word yet on where next year's conference will be held? – Steve

Thank you, Steve! No word on next year’s conference just yet. Stay tuned.

Where can I find your portfolio? – Jan
