Find Your Financial Foundation

The Lucid Investor Newsletter

by Matt Magee at mForce Capital

For those paying attention this morning, yes, I did change the name. Let me know if you love it or hate it.

As I near the 20th one of these emails, I feel like I am finding my stride. I enjoy providing clarity around markets, the psychology of money, financial mistakes, life, and health. My goal here is to help provide clarity and simplicity in our lives through better decisions (usually financially but not always).

If you know anyone who would enjoy the newsletter or benefit from a conversation, introductions are always appreciated. I am taking new clients as we enter 2026.

​

This post hit home for a number of reasons personally. I was reminded recently of the importance of having a strong foundation. In my opinion, you cannot level up if you have not built the right habits and systems to do so before the big event.

​

I should dedicate this week's newsletter to Marc as he drives home the point further below. This is one of those lessons, you can read, know what to do, but often, you've got to screw something up for the point to really stick. That has been my experience for simple lessons like having a strong financial foundation and good money habits.

Ending on a Lighter Note

Jensen and Nvidia absolutely crushed the past quarter. This is not investment advice to buy Nvidia, but rather giving praise where praise is due.

What I've Enjoyed Recently

Interesting podcast around live entertainment and the anti-AI bet.

Turning Failure into a Wild Success

Another exceptional business story around failure and lessons we can all learn from.

See Ya Soon

The Lone Star Perspective by Matt Magee at mForce Capital Treasury 101: Why the “Plumbing” of Global Finance is Changing We often talk about the U.S. Treasury market as the "bedrock" of the financial world. It is the gold standard for safety. But even a bedrock can shift. Recent data from Apollo Global Management highlights some massive changes in how the U.S. government borrows money and, more importantly, who is lending it to them. Here is a breakdown of what’s happening in "plain English"...

The Lone Star Perspective by Matt Magee at mForce Capital The Van-Dweller’s Edge Amity Warme is one of the most accomplished big-wall climbers in the world. She lives in a van. Tacked to the wall of that van is a scrap of paper with five words that carry more weight than any financial plan: “Do my choices support my goals?” It’s a deceptively simple question. It’s also the one most people, myself included, fail to answer honestly every single day. In the world of finance, we love to bury the...

The Lone Star Perspective by Matt Magee at mForce Capital Starting the year with a positive story. If you are anything like me, you see business headlines all day, and they never strike a chord. Similar to OpenAI raising another mega round from investors, or Vista Bank being sold for around $370 million. It's often like Wow, those numbers are huge and life-changing for a few people. But the story of Fibrebond provides a different blueprint. The founder shared 17% of the sale proceeds with the...
