Happy holiday weekend!

We’re coming off a shortened trading week, but the weekly Saturday Q&A rolls on.

Here are the most important reader questions and my responses from the last few days.

Keep sending those emails to AskDavis@paradigmpressgroup.com.

Let’s get to it.

I am new to your group, as I did not subscribe until after you recommended buying FNMA at $7.25. However, I jumped in right away as soon as I joined. 1,900 shares at $10.50. I figured that with the big hopes you have for this, I'll still be in the green but just a little behind your curve. Did I figure right? Or did I do "a bad?" – Sid

Welcome aboard, Sid! No, you didn’t do “a bad.” Jumping into FNMA at $10.50 doesn’t make you late to the story, it just means you’re operating with a different entry point and risk profile.

Yes, I got in around $7.25, and yes, I still believe there's significant upside if the White House follows through with plans to end conservatorship. (Even just another Trump tweet contemplating the idea should spike the stock again.)

That’s the catalyst we’re all watching. But like any high-reward setup, there’s uncertainty in timing and outcome. If that catalyst hits, a few bucks on the entry price likely won’t matter. If it doesn’t, we’ll both feel the loss – just to slightly different degrees.

I searched for the ticker symbol FNMA and couldn't find it. What would you make of that? – Ron

Great question, Ron. FNMA can be tricky to find because it doesn’t trade on the NYSE or Nasdaq. Instead, it’s known as an over-the-counter (OTC) stock.

That means it won’t be available on every brokerage platform, especially those that limit access to OTC securities. I do know that FNMA is available through Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Ally, and E-Trade, among others.

Are the tokens, whether publicly traded stocks or privately held shares, backed by the real shares? – Brett

Great question, Brett. According to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, the tokens are backed by actual shares held through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and mirrored on a blockchain, allowing Robinhood to offer synthetic exposure without directly transferring equity ownership.

Can stablecoins really be “safe” if they’re not backed by FDIC insurance? – Larry

Great question, Larry. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT aren’t FDIC-insured like bank deposits. But some are fully backed by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries, which are considered very low-risk.

The key is transparency. Circle (CRCL), the company behind USDC, publishes monthly attestations showing how every token is backed. That’s why I tend to favor USDC over less transparent alternatives. It’s not risk-free. But it’s a long way from the Wild West people assume.

If stablecoins are so useful, why doesn’t everyone just move their money there? – Todd

Great question, Todd. Stablecoins are incredibly useful. They offer fast transfers, low fees, and even the ability to earn 4–5% yield in some cases. But there are a few reasons why they haven’t gone fully mainstream just yet.

For starters, most people simply trust banks more than crypto platforms. Stablecoins still feel “techy” or unfamiliar to the average saver, and headlines about hacks or scams don’t help.

There’s also a regulatory gray area, especially in the U.S. While companies like Circle (which issues USDC) are transparent and well-run, there’s still no official FDIC-style backing for stablecoins – so some investors stay cautious.

That said, behind the scenes, governments and institutions are building with stablecoins more than ever. The public might not be there yet, but the infrastructure is coming fast.

Like all financial innovation, adoption starts slow… until suddenly it’s everywhere.

Could tokenization really let me own part of SpaceX someday? – Miguel

In theory, yes. Platforms like Robinhood are starting to experiment with tokenized versions of private shares – essentially synthetic assets that track the value of companies like SpaceX or OpenAI.

Right now, they’re only available to European users, and they’re not actual equity stakes. But it’s a signal of where things are going. Tokenization may one day open the door to private markets that were once off-limits to everyday investors.
