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 If you want to see a world-class logic error, look at how the most successful people in America handle their kids. These are people who built empires by delegating, mentoring, and allowing their VPs to make expensive mistakes. Yet, when it comes to their own families, they try to do something even more impossible: They try to run the family from the grave. They hire lawyers to build "Dead Hand Control." It’s a 100-page legal document,...

The Lone Star Perspective by Matt Magee at mForce Capital I have the pleasure of working with a diverse client base. Some are business owners or corporate executives clearing over $1 million annually. On paper, they've won. It's usually around the time they retire or sell a business.
