You know, there are assets making
$200,000 per year for sale for only 600K
at number one on this list. Billionaires
like Bill Gates and the Mormon church
are secretly buying a different asset
class while everyone is distracted by AI
taking jobs. Private equity groups are
fighting individuals to get their hands
on these underpriced assets. And all of
this is happening while the market just
hit another all-time high because seven
stocks make up roughly a third of the
S&P 500 right now. Here are 15 assets
that are cheap this year. Welcome to
Alux, the place where future
billionaires come to get inspired.
Number 15, old media entities. Now, here
at Alux, we're actively looking to
acquire 20 plus year old publications.
Yes, you heard us. These are mature
publications with unique IP and a solid
subscriber base. Yes, the demographic is
aged, but they have a lot of buying
power. Think train or lifestyle
magazines, hobby magazines, local
newspapers, local news stations. All of
these are priced like melting ice cubes
when their value is actually
intrinsically going up right now. Some
of them own incredible pieces of IP that
could be worth millions in the right
hands with modern tech. A dead TV show
could get a second wind. Old archives
are suddenly more valuable. People say
they don't watch TV, but BIA advisory
services projected local overtheair TV
ad revenue rising from 14.51 billion in
2025 to 18.18 billion in 2026, a 25.5%
increase with political advertising
alone expected around 3.8 billion to 4.2
billion. These are small but trusted
local networks that surprisingly still
play a critical role in political
advertising. It's really hard to
recreate the loyalty some of these
brands have with AI making everything
the same. We will gravitate more and
more toward things that feel real.
Number 14, office space. Now, the most
hated asset class hides a massive
opportunity. Bad press and empty
buildings will do that to you. But let's
look at this, okay? Office prices
nationally are still 32.7% below their
pre-COVID peak. Central business
district offices in some cities dropped
50% peak to trough. 12 out of every 100
loans taken out to buy or build office
buildings are currently past due or in
default, worse than the 2008 financial
crisis. That said, the trend has turned
in major hubs. Manhattan is at $760 a
square foot in January 2026, the highest
in the country. San Francisco and Miami
are filling up their inventory as well.
Meanwhile, office construction is at its
lowest level in three decades. The
supply pipeline is collapsing exactly as
demand starts creeping back up. Smart
money figured this out about 18 months
ago and has been quietly assembling some
of the cheapest commercial real estate
in modern history. A lot of the
buildings get repurposed, converted to
apartments under adaptive reuse
initiatives, turning them into life
science service buildings or simply
leasing to AI companies that don't care
about costs right now. The play? Buy a
marketing agency's office at 50%
discount. Clean up the coffee stains.
Res-plit and rent it out to a dentist,
AI geeks, or someone doing eyelashes.
Number 13, international property. This
is called currency arbitrage. And for
the past few years, the US has decimated
purchasing power of the US dollar
internally while offloading the penalty
to other countries. American buyers have
never been in a better position than
they are today. Porto, Maaga, Cordoba,
Lumbok, Batumi, Guadalajara, Torino,
Chiang Mai. In dollar terms, prices in
some of these markets are still 30 to
50% below 2019 levels. $100,000 won't
buy you a home in the US, but it will
buy it in the suburbs of big cities
where quality of living is superior to
that of the US. Dramatic appreciation
hasn't hit many of these areas, but it
will in the near future. Yes, it does
require you to develop local
infrastructure, but the asset is cheap.
It rents at 6 to 8%. It'll appreciate
faster than already matured markets, and
it provides a hedge against whatever is
about to happen next. Pro tip,
short-term rental nightly rates
internationally are competitive with
those back home. So, if you've got a
decent property manager, you're looking
at over 10% rental returns plus
appreciation.
Number 12, your grandma's farmland. For
the first time in 15 years, farmland is
getting cheaper. Corn prices dropped.
Fertilizer is expensive because oil is
expensive. Data centers are buying water
so you can reply to your emails better.
Farm income is going down and so are
farmland prices. So where's the edge,
Alux? Well, the billionaires are buying
it like crazy with every family office
we've talked to having a sizable
exposure to farmland. The Mormon church,
owns more US farmland than most
countries do. Bill Gates is the largest
individual owner in America. TIAA, the
teacher pension fund, has billions
allocated to it. This is a forever
asset. It can be used as collateral. It
can be monetized better. Crops can be
grown more efficiently. You can deploy
solar on it or use it for manufacturing.
Energy and food are evergreen. Off the
grid tech no longer requires government
infrastructure. Your edge, depending on
your size, is to get some for as cheaply
as you can. Talk to your grandma and her
friends. Do your own roll up of these
before you negotiate better lease terms.
Number 11, physical commodities. copper,
uranium, timber, gold. While the AI hype
consumed everything else, the materials
that physically make AI happen have
gotten cheaper. So, start with copper.
Every electric vehicle uses about four
times as much copper as a gas car. Every
data center, every wind turbine, every
grid upgrade, every charging station,
every server rack. Copper demand is
structurally outpacing supply through at
least 2035. Major mining Capeex hasn't
recovered to 2014 levels. Nobody's
building new copper mines because nobody
wanted to until very recently. Whoever
wins energy wins everything. That's why
Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and every
other major player is either buying or
building their own nuclear power plants.
Uranium spot went from $20 a pound in
2020, peaked at 106 in 2024, and spiked
back to 101 in January of 2026. As of
making this video, it's sitting around
$85. The structural story is intact.
We're going to need more materials than
ever, and that demand has been barely
priced in. We're about a third of the
way in, and the bigger picks are coming.
Healthcare, Bitcoin, peptides, the
number one pick that almost nobody
actually does. And if you want a more

All right, now back to the list. Number
10, REITs, nonoffice commercial. Now,
when most people hear REIT, they think
apartments, right? Maybe even a strip
mall. Boring stuff. The Las Vegas strip
is owned by Arite. Vici Properties is
the landlord of Caesar's Palace, MGM
Grand, Mandalay Bay, and the Venetian.
They collect rent from casinos. There
are reetss that own prisons, marijuana
farms, cell towers, billboards, ski
resorts, movie theaters. The data
centers running Chat GPT live inside a
REIT. This is the most diverse asset
class on this entire list. And most
retail investors think it's just
apartments. And right now, most of them
are trading at deep discounts to the
actual value of the properties inside
them. Not all of them, but more of them
than people realize. Industrial vacancy
is below 6% right now. Apartment REITs
in supply constrained markets are at 30%
discounts to the private market
valuations of the same buildings. Data
center REITs are racing to add capacity
for AI workloads. The structural feature
that makes the math almost automatic is
the legal requirement to pay out 90% of
taxable income as dividends. So owners
of REIT shares collect cash flow while
the market eventually figures out the
asset is worth more than its pricing.
Dividend yields in the sector run
anywhere from 4 to 7% depending on the
property type. Many of these companies
raise the dividend every single year.
And people don't do this more often due
to psychological reasons. Somebody can
spend $400,000 on a single rental
property in their city and feel like a
real estate investor. The same person
won't put 40 grand into a basket that
owns 10,000 properties across multiple
geographies, asset classes, and
management teams. Make it make sense.
Number nine, bonds. Now, most of you
watching this have cash sitting in a
checking account earning 0.01%
eaten alive by inflation, while the
money market right next to it would have
it earning 400 times more. Pretty wild
that most people just leave it there.
For about a decade, bonds were a
punchline. Yields were near zero. Anyone
holding bonds was either retired or
losing money to inflation while
pretending they weren't. Nobody under 35
has ever owned a bond in their life. The
10-year Treasury yields 4.6% right now.
Investment grade corporate bonds are
paying around 5.5%.
Municipal bonds in high tax states yield
over 4% tax-free, which is roughly a 6%
equivalent for higher earners. The
Federal Reserve already cut 75 basis
points in late 2025. It all depends on
war and inflation at this point. The
market is already pricing a 40% chance
of a rate hike. That's where the edge is
if the war situation gets sorted with
Powell out. We might see more cuts as
early as next year. Number eight, energy
companies.
Exxon Mobile and Chevron both started as
pieces of John D. Rockefeller's Standard
Oil Empire in the 1800s. They've been
printing money for over a century. Exon
Mobile has raised its dividend every
single year for 43 years straight.
Through the 1986 oil crash, through
2008, through the 2020 pandemic, 43
years of not blinking. Last year, the
five oil super majors paid out $114
billion to shareholders. That's bigger
than the GDP of Hungary. and they're
still trading at 8 to 12 times earnings.
Everyone is in an energy race and
although the markets are aware of this,
they haven't moved to the extent they
should have because of the cultural
narrative of clean energy. It's not sexy
to say 10% of your net worth is in Exon
Mobile or BP. The market is ignoring
incredibly strong cash flowing assets
simply because they belong to a
stigmatized industry. Meanwhile, the
same people have a gas furnace, a gas
stove, a car running on petroleum, and a
power grid that's roughly 60% fossil
fuels. The hypocrisy is hilarious. It's
also expensive. And the kicker, data
centers in America now consume as much
electricity as every nuclear power plant
in the country combined. By 2030,
they'll use up to 17% of all US
electricity. Microsoft just signed the
largest corporate nuclear deal in
history. Northern Virginia has stopped
issuing data center permits because the
grid can't handle it. Who do you think
is selling them the gas? Who's running
the pipelines? Who's profitable enough
to actually build new power plants? Some
companies you'd be embarrassed to
mention at dinner. That's your edge.
Number seven, healthc care stocks. Take
United Health for example. It used to be
a fortress stock. Then in 12 months,
everything cracked. Medicare Advantage
reimbursement cuts, a DOJ criminal
investigation, a massive cyber attack on
change healthcare, drug pricing reform
pressure. The stock lost 54% from its
peak. It hit $234 a share in March.
Warren Buffett's Bergkshire Hathaway
exited the entire position around this
time last year, and the market panicked,
not realizing that the Birkshire play
was a 45% profitable flip they did with
the shares they acquired during the hack
at the absolute bottom. The market here
is already moving back. The sector is
structurally healthier than it's been in
years, and it's just one example in the
industry. United Health now trades at 15
times forward earnings versus 25 times
historically. CVS was at $70 a share
just 30 days ago and trading at around
90 as of researching this. Fizer trades
at about $25 a share. Forward PE around
8 times earnings and it pays a 6.8
dividend. Hospital operators are buying
back stock at record pace. So although
the train is already moving, the sector
ETF XLV is down about 7% year to date
while the S&P 500 is up five. Number
six, cyber security. You know what's
directly correlated to the rise of AI?
Fishing and scams. We're not calling
them cyber crimes, okay? That is the
worst name ever for something this real.
The threat landscape doubled in 18
months. Anthropic didn't release Mythos
because it found cracks in major
organizations. Over a few days, it wrote
2,000 plus exploits against Mozilla,
Apple, banks, airlines, more. When the
news of Mythos broke, the market
panicked. Retail investors and
algorithms dumped shares of major cyber
security firms like Crowd Strike and
PaloAlto Networks, dropping them by 5%
to 11% almost instantly. The cultural
narrative was immediately if AI can find
and fix bugs autonomously, we don't need
human cyber security companies anymore.
The AI will do it all. That is
completely fundamentally backwards.
Mythos was licensed to the cyber
security firms in charge of the biggest
infrastructure projects in the US in
order to patch everything up before
release. There's going to be a ton of
money in cyber security moving forward,
more money than ever before. We are
entering the most aggressive cyber arms
race in human history.
Number five, international stocks. Both
Europe and Japan just outperformed the
United States stock market for the first
time in 12 years. The reason trading
multiples in the US are insane and other
countries have more solid economies.
Just hear me out. Seven stocks prop up
the entire US economy. Without them, the
picture is looking pretty grim. The same
investment costs $23 in the US and $15
in Europe. The US investment returns 8%.
The international investment returns
11%. Now, as any financially educated
individual, you know that the S&P 500
has returned on average 9% since
inception. That means some years it's
returning more, some years it's less,
leading to a 9% average. Here's why
smart money is moving overseas right
now, or at least pledging a barbell
hedge. The S&P 500 returned 26% in 2023,
25% in 2024, and 17.9% in 2025,
including dividends. What would need to
happen for the average to get to 9?
There's a widely accepted theory of the
dead decade. Whenever the S&P 500 has
traded at similar values to what it's
traded right now, the average return of
that decade are between -1 and 2%. The
most famous example happened to the US
S&P 500 from 2000 to 2009. Many believe
this will happen because we're trading
on fumes while our core real industries
are suffering. Where the top performers,
think AI, chips, power, electric cars,
or social media have no real moat to
protect them from being duplicated.
Don't put all of your eggs in the US
basket just because a few tech giants
make it look shiny. International stocks
are cheaper, safer right now, and
quietly doing better than the average
American company. Number four, peptide
potential winners. You know how Ompic
and WeGy were this massive cultural
revolution? Well, that was just phase
one. That was a little appetizer that
created a $200 billion market in 5
years. And basically, two companies,
Novo Nordisk and Eli Liy, ate the whole
pie. But the smart money isn't looking
at Ozic anymore. The real alpha in 2026
is hiding in the next wave of peptides
that are already gaining massive
underground popularity. Next generation
peptides like Retita, GHKCU regeneration
peptides like the Wolverine stack and
more. And if you don't know what these
are just yet, you'll probably hear about
them in the group chat within the next
12 months. Retita True Tide is Eli
Lilly's new triple agonist that targets
three different hormone receptors at
once. The phase 3 trial data just
dropped and it's blowing old GLP1s out
of the water showing an insane 30% total
body weight loss while actively
dissolving liver fat. It's a complete
metabolic reset. Then you've got things
like GHKCU, a copper peptide that's
quietly taking over the anti-aging skin
care and tissue repair market. People
have been ordering them off scammy
websites from China and injecting them
just because they're so life-changing.
People aren't just using peptides to
lose weight anymore. They're using them
for cellular regeneration, cognitive
repair, and joint recovery. Eli Lily is
swimming in money right now. They
brought in $20 billion in the first
quarter of 2026 and are buying every
relevant small biotech firm. Nobo is
fighting for dear life and has a magic
formula coming out soon that only
requires one injection per month instead
of weekly. There's a 3 to 30x increase
in volume consumed once these go from
injectables to pills or other kinds of
delivery.
Number three, emerging market stocks.
The world's next billion consumers don't
speak English. The US dollar lost over
10% of its purchasing power in 2025 and
2026. This is why everything is more
expensive to buy. On paper, the value is
high because US companies trade at 24 to
26 times earnings. To put things into
perspective, emerging market stocks
trade at around 12 times earnings. China
is trading at 9 times earnings. India
has been delivering 6 to 7% annual GDP
growth. Mexico is in the middle of a
nearshoring boom that's reshaping its
industrial base. The rest of the planet
is moving because they know exactly what
to do. There's more real value and
measurable growth there than here. And
sure, we're not saying go all in on the
Nigerian exchange that returned 29%
since the beginning of 2026 or that the
Romanian stock exchange BBB has returned
74% in the last 12 months. But India,
South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, China will
all make you think about money
differently. Number two, Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is cheap right now, like down
40% from its all-time high.
Historically, every single Bitcoin cycle
since 2013 has had a midcycle
correction, 30 to 40%, everyone. Then
the second leg starts. Personally, we
believe we're in it right now, and it
might be 6, 12, 24 months, but we will
at least revisit the all-time high.
Exchange reserves are at their lowest
levels of 2026. Coins are moving once
again off exchanges as smart money
continues to accumulate. AI agents will
transact on the blockchain not through
Swift. Ask yourself two things. First,
will the world of tomorrow be more
digital than it is today? And second,
will the governments keep printing money
and devaluing their core currencies? If
your answer is yes and yes, then this is
an asymmetric bet for your next decade.
In the Alux app, we have groups
dedicated to discussing these exact
market opportunities where high- netw
worth individuals weigh in on how
they're deploying capital in real time,
like when Bitcoin hit the exact bottom
of the drop. Go to alux.com/app.
We'll see you on the inside. And number
one, cash flowing small businesses.
Right now, there are approximately 12
million businesses owned by baby boomers
in the US. Around 600,000 of them will
sell or close in the next 5 years. Most
have profitable operations. Most have no
clear succession plan. Most are willing
to sell or finance the majority of the
deal. Most are selling at two to four
times annual cash flow. There are a
million websites like BIS by Buy Sell
where you can browse businesses for
sale. Last Sunday, we did a video on
exactly how to buy a local business for
two times revenue and sell it for eight
times multiple. The video is called 15
investments rich people make that you've
never heard of. Private equity is
already moving like crazy, snooping
around trying to snatch these up. Every
PE guy we know swears by car washes as
money printers, pools, pest control,
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing.
Hell, friend of the channel, Tommy Melo
built a $ 1.7 billion business repairing
garage doors. They do 300 million in
revenue per year. A1 Garage Door Service
now operates across 23 states with 37
markets. The lesson is Aluxer, there's
money all around you. There's
opportunity all around you if you're
willing to work. So, which of these
assets sparked your interest the most?
Let us know in the comments. And it
wouldn't be an Alux video without a
bonus. So here it is. Distressed or
panicked sellers. Now distressed sellers
exist in every market, in every cycle,
in every category. Divorce, death and
probate, medical emergencies, tax
problems, forced job relocations,
business partner disputes, liquidations,
bankruptcies. When the seller cares more
about speed than price, the buyer sets
the terms. Speed, cash, and empathy is
what wins these types of deals. Just
show up with proof of funds and a 14-day
close, and out of 10 opportunities,
you'll be able to close, too. Wealth
tends to get built in the quiet years,
not the loud ones. Right now is loud.
Right now is when the quiet things are
cheap. If you've made it to the very end
of this video, write the word quiet in
the comments. And as a secret reward for
watching with us until the very end,
scan this QR code and you'll get a full
year of membership to the Alux app for
only $99. But please don't tell anybody
else about it. All right, this one's for
you. Have a winning week, Aluxers. We'll
see you back here next time.
