NONE OF US ARE AS STRONG AS ALL OF US
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST | Carlsbad, CA
For the last 100 years investors could “act alone” to find and invest in new companies (and get rich alone the way) as long as the target company had The 4P Strategy:
Products that people love
Promotions to bring in new customers
Plans to enter and hold high-margin markets
People to run the company profitably
Any company that committed to these 4P’s could do pretty well, and profits would roll in.
But in recent years, the 4P’s stopped working because too much money entered the market.
There’s no other way to say it: money is no longer a scarce commodity, and there is an oversupply of capital in the market.
To absorb this oversupply, more than 50,000 “zombie companies” were created—companies with weak products, high-cost promotions, and inexperienced management.
With too much money and too many deals, the market eventually overheated, and deals started unraveling quickly.
Even the most careful investors were sucked into this vortex. But why?
Investors and Managers never met before they became instant business partners.
On one side were investors looking for easy, fast returns; on the other side, management was rushing immature products to market.
Because these two groups didn’t spend time together or learn anything about each other, many deals became a witch’s brew of different goals, contrasting motivations, unfamiliar business values, and wildly different appetites for risk.
The result? Management started hiding behind MBA doublespeak like, “In the next quarter, we’re seeking to maximize shareholder value with a high return on equity…”
As a result, investors began losing confidence and started asking for early exits or redemptions.
What were the lessons from this fast-paced era of investing?
No matter how good the product
No matter how attractive the promotion
No matter how big the market
Companies are stronger, more resilient, and more valuable when the founders, investors, and managers know each other personally and spend time together sharing ideas and aligning their values.
Why does this work?
Founders bring a unique vision and passion that can’t be replicated. Their personal connection to the company drives innovation, commitment, and a long-term focus that aligns perfectly with the business’s success.
At the same time, investors provide access to working capital to support the business plan, allowing the company to enter new markets and capture large profits.
All of this relies on the founder’s deep personal investment in the mission, but it also depends on the investors’ desire to be part of a company they truly belong to.
This is your opportunity to be part of that great company. And for this reason, it’s personal.
Products people love
Now management lacks the depth to drive them forward.
Promotions that attract customers
Without a sustainable strategy, those customers disappear just as fast.
Plans for high-margin markets
Execution falls apart when leadership is scattered.
People to run the company profitably
Too often, they lack real commitment.

With a little luck and hard work, any “4P” company could do well. But recently, this formula stopped working as far too much money flooded the market.
Money is no longer scarce, and now there’s an oversupply of capital.
YOU ARE NOT
ALONE
This led to the rise of over 50,000 “zombie companies” with weak products, costly promotions, and poor management. With too much cash and too many deals, the market overheated, and deals unraveled.
Even cautious investors were caught in the frenzy.
1-DAY.
A LIFETIME
Why? Investors and managers, who had never met, became instant partners—investors seeking quick returns, and managers rushing immature products to market. This mismatch in goals, values, and risk tolerance often led to disastrous results.
Soon, management hid behind MBA jargon, and investors lost confidence, seeking redemptions and early exits.

For the last 100 years investors could “act alone” to find and invest in new companies (and get rich alone the way) as long as the target company had The 4P Strategy:
Products

Promotions

Plans

Any company that committed to these 4P’s could do pretty well and profit’s would roll in.
But in the last few years, there the 4P’s stopped working because too much money entered the market.
No other way to say it: money is no longer a scarce commodity and there there is an oversupply of capital in the market.
To meet this oversupply of money, 50,000+ zombie companies were created with weak products, high-cost promotions and inexperienced management.
With too much money and too many deals, eventually the market overheated and deals started quickly unraveling.
Even the carefully investors were sucked into this vortex. But why?
Looking at how deals were being done, it becomes pretty obvious: Investors and Managers never met before they became instant business partners.
On one side were the investors looking to get easy and fast returns;, and the other side the management looking to rush immature products to market.
And because these two groups didn’t spent time together or learn anything about each other, many deals became a witches brew of different goals, contrasting motivations, unfamiliar business values and wildly different appetite for risk.
The result of all this? Management started hiding behind MBA-doublespeak like “In the next quarter, we’re seeking to maximize shareholder value with a high return on equity …”
Accordingly, Investors started losing confidence and asking for early exits or redemptions.
What were the lessons from this go-fast era of investing?
No matter how good the product,
No matter how attractive the promotion,
No matter how big the market,
Companies are stronger, more resilient, and more valuable when the founders, investors and managers know each other personally and spend time together sharing ideas and getting aligned in values.

Upcoming dates:

Your day starts Thursday at 9:00 am pacific time here at OK Stone headquarters with an insider’s look at the stone industry from stone expert Jerimiah.
Next, you’ll hop in one of 10 Luxury SUV’s including Lamborghini Euris, Hummer H1, Cyber Truck, Mercedes G550 Squared and more.
We’ll drive to an off road park and get into custom off-road vehicles for some family friendly, but still white knuckle, off-roading.
Next we’ll be introducing you to a special guest speaker that will blow your mind in all the right ways.
From there we’ll hop back in the LUX-SUV’s and head to Temecula for a nice dinner at one of Oren’s favorite wineries.
(NOTE: If you don’t like big gas-guzzling trucks, off-roading, wine and a good steak, then this probably isn’t the event for you.)
After dinner, you’ll ditch the SUVs and be shuttled back to your hotel to get a good night’s rest before Day 2 activities begin.
Day 2 is all about what it means to be a part of the Stone 300 community. We’ll leave the details for you to EXPERIENCE. But trust us, you’ve never been a part of something like this in the world of investing.
