Gold’s Perfect Storm

Fellow Investor,

Three massive forces are coming together to support gold prices for years to come.

First, central banks are abandoning the dollar.

They’re diversifying their reserves at a record pace.

China, Russia, Poland, Singapore are all adding gold aggressively.

This institutional buying creates a price floor that didn’t exist before.

Second, geopolitical instability is accelerating.

Trade wars. Military conflicts. Currency crises.

When chaos erupts, investors flood into gold.

And chaos isn’t going away anytime soon.

Third, inflation fears are back. Despite official numbers, real-world prices keep climbing.

Investors see gold as the ultimate inflation hedge.

And history proves them right.

When these three forces converged before, gold didn’t just rise. It SOARED.

That’s what makes this golden income play so compelling.

You profit TWO ways.

First, from gold’s appreciation. And second, from a consistent 11.43% income stream.

It’s an ETF that holds physical gold-backed investments and use an income-boosting strategy to generate monthly distributions.

And currently yields 11.43% annually.

Compare that to Treasuries under 5%. Or S&P 500 dividends around 1.2%.

To your prosperity,

P.S. Most distributions are classified as return of capital. That means potential tax advantages that can be a game-changer for high-bracket investors.

Wall Street's Blind Spot - 2 new picks

We sent the email below at 9:00am Eastern Time this morning, but some readers reported not receiving it. Re-sending it below, but please also check your junk or promotions tabs (if you're in Gmail) to make sure you're not missing any of our alerts.

Last Friday, I published one of the most-read essays I've ever written for this newsletter.

The thesis was simple: the AI revolution has a $15.8 trillion chokepoint, the electrical grid, and the companies solving it are crushing everything in sight.

The response was overwhelming. My inbox lit up. Hundreds of you wrote in.

And the most common question was the same one I'd been asking myself for weeks: which companies?

Today, I'm answering that question for paid subscribers below.

But first, I want to share something I discovered during the final leg of my research that I think every investor, free or paid, needs to hear.

A major institutional research firm just purged four of the biggest grid stocks from its index.

This firm has been running a grid infrastructure index since mid-2021. That index has returned over 252% since inception, more than tripling the S&P 500 over the same period.

These are not amateurs.

On February 13th, five days ago, they removed four of the most well-known grid companies from the index.

The reason? Overexposure to the data-center buildout cycle and vulnerability to a potential AI-led market correction.

Think about that for a moment.

A research firm that has been bullish on grid infrastructure for years, that has a 252% track record on this exact thesis, just looked at some of the biggest names in the space and said… too much AI hype baked in. Get these out.

What they kept was revealing. The companies that survived the purge were the ones whose revenue doesn't depend on whether the next AI model is better or worse than the last one.

They kept the builders. The contractors. The sensor companies. The cable manufacturers. The firms that are doing the work that MUST happen, whether the AI boom accelerates or stalls, because the grid is deteriorating regardless.

That distinction matters enormously.

There are two kinds of grid companies right now. The first kind has seen its stock price triple because investors figured out that AI needs power and got excited.

The second kind has seen their backlog triple because utilities literally can't keep the lights on without hiring them.

The first kind is a momentum trade. The second kind is a business.

I want to own the businesses.

The Contrarian Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight

Here's what I find most fascinating about where we are right now.

As I write this, one of the companies I'm adding to the portfolio reported earnings.

And despite beating estimates on virtually every metric, record profit margins, record cash flow, and record growth in its most important business segment, the stock dropped.

Why? Because the headline revenue number declined. And Wall Street, in its infinite wisdom, sold first and read the details later.

I love it when this happens… Because the details tell a completely different story from the headline.

The details show a company transforming from a hardware provider into an AI-powered intelligence platform. The details show a business division growing 23% that didn't exist three years ago.

The details show free cash flow nearly doubling year over year.

The details show a company that already hit its 2027 profitability targets, two years early, and is now planning to raise them.

The market sold the headline. I'm buying the transformation.

Meanwhile, the builders are printing money in silence.

The other side of the grid thesis is even more straightforward. There are companies in this space with backlogs so large that their revenue visibility extends into the next decade.

Record order books. Double-digit revenue growth. Customers are literally unable to find enough qualified contractors to do the work.

One of these companies reported a 22% increase in quarterly revenue with all business segments contributing to growth. Their 18-month backlog hit an all-time high.

Their CEO said on the last earnings call, and I'm paraphrasing, that he is more confident today about the growth ahead than he has ever been.

Not for next year. For the next several years.

These aren't speculative bets. These are companies with signed contracts, locked-in revenue, and structural tailwinds that don't depend on any single technology trend.

I've said this a few times since Friday, and I want you to memorize this:

The grid has to be built. The wires have to be strung. The transformers have to be installed. The question isn't if. It's who gets paid to do it.

And here's the crazy thing:

There's a third company I'm watching. I'm not buying yet, and you'll see why in a moment, but it might be the most interesting of all.

I'm putting this third company on the Moonshot Minute Watchlist today. This is the one I'm most excited about long-term, but I refuse to recommend it right now.

Why? Because it reports earnings this week, and it's trading at all-time highs.

I've seen too many investors, including myself, get burned by buying into strength right before a catalyst.

If the earnings are great, we pay a small premium for certainty. If they disappoint, we get a gift. Either way, we'll be ready.

This company has a backlog approaching $40 billion. It employs nearly 70,000 skilled workers. A workforce that cannot be replicated overnight.

It is the single most important contractor in the American grid buildout, and most of the researchers and analysts I follow keep it on their buy lists.

We're watching. We're waiting. And when the time is right, we're moving.

What Moonshot Minute Premium Subscribers Get Below

Below in the Premium Section, I'm giving you the full breakdown:

Two new tickers going into the Moonshot Minute Portfolio today, with entry prices, allocation guidance, and the specific thesis behind each one.
A third bonus ticker is going onto the official Watchlist with a clear signal for when we pull the trigger
The exact research firm data, index composition, and why the February 13th purge matters for how we're positioning
Risk factors I'm watching and the scenarios that would change my mind
How do these positions complement our existing metals and uranium holdings

I don't add positions lightly. These two earned their way in through deep research, a dozen earnings reports, and the kind of deep-dive analysis that separates conviction from hope.

If you're a Moonshot Minute Premium subscriber, scroll down to the Premium Section. The tickers, the thesis, and the entry strategy are waiting.

If you're not yet a paid subscriber… this is the week.

Double D

P.S. Here's a screenshot of the current Moonshot Minute Portfolio. I've blurred out the tickers since that information is only for Premium Members, but you can see how we've done so far:

🔓 Premium Content Begins Here 🔒

In today's Premium Section, you'll find two new recommendations we're adding during this grid buildout supercycle.

I hope you've been paying attention because many of our picks are currently beating the S&P by up to 4-to-1 this year.

Most financial newsletters charge $500, $1,000, even $5,000 per year. Why? Because they know they can.

I don't.

I built my wealth the old-fashioned way, not by selling subscriptions.

That's why I priced this at $25/month, or $250/year.

Not because it's low quality, but because I don't need to charge the typical prices other newsletters charge.

One good trade, idea, or concept could pay for your next decade of subscriptions.

The question isn't 'Why is this so cheap?' The question is, 'Why would I charge more?'

👉 Upgrade to Premium Now

P.S. If this newsletter were $1,000 per year, you'd have to think about it.

You'd weigh your options. You'd analyze the risk.

But it's $25 a month.

That's the price of a bad lunch decision.

And remember, just one good idea could pay for your subscription for a decade.

Don't Count Software Out Just Yet


Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999

Don't Count Software Out Just Yet

By Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig

The message the market sent while obliterating software stocks around the world this month is unmistakable...

No sector is safe from a sudden reset or quick repricing.

The sell-off started a couple weeks ago when artificial-intelligence ("AI") company Anthropic released new features for its Claude Cowork tool. The groundbreaking AI agent can automate tasks for data analysis, marketing, sales, and legal work that previously could only be done with software.

Now, the market thinks that AI will replace a lot of software offerings.

That concern is what prompted a huge selling spree and sent many software stocks down to recent lows...

Take FactSet Research Systems (FDS), for example. FactSet consolidates market data to provide financial insights for investment managers, hedge funds, and investment bankers.

About 75% of the top 50 global investment banks use FactSet. And 95 of the top 100 asset managers use it as well.

Here at Stansberry Research, a lot of analysts use FactSet every day to help with their equity research. And just about every analyst I talk to says that they cannot imagine a world where they would cancel their FactSet subscription.

Overall, FactSet is a business well entrenched in the financial world. The data the company provides is absolutely essential for most professionals' day-to-day work. But the market doesn't care...

Here's What You Missed Yesterday

A rare class of AI stocks has opened a way to potentially double your portfolio in 2026. It works by predicting the biggest earnings beats on 5,000 stocks, BEFORE they occur. A colossal "divide" coming to AI on February 24 has opened the best opportunity since 2022 to apply this breakthrough new strategy today. Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin shares the full details and two free picks. Watch now (time-sensitive stocks).

It's worried that AI agents will soon be able to do the heavy lifting of data research for free... or at least for a fraction of what FactSet charges.

As a result, FactSet is down more than 60% since its high in late 2024. Take a look...

And even a blue chip like S&P Global (SPGI) has been caught in the crossfire. Some investors believe the company is doomed because its data business will be replaced by AI.

This is despite the company also running the famed S&P 500 Index – which is synonymous with "the market" – and having one of the biggest moats of any business in the world with its bond-rating division.

S&P Global is off its highs by 27%. You can see the sharp drop-off below...

Software companies like Adobe (ADBE) and LegalZoom (LZ) are also near lows. Plus, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector Fund (IGV) has shed 31% from its highs.

We could go on and on. This sell-off has claimed a long list of victims. But there's one important thing for you to remember throughout the chaos...

Just because investors are panicking about AI replacing software doesn't mean they're 100% right.

The market is currently in a "shoot first, ask questions later" phase. And a lot of quality software companies that are not going to be replaced by AI are being thrown out with the bathwater.

Yes, there are going to be software businesses that become obsolete because of AI. But many will be just fine since they'll use AI to keep their market share.

Even Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang agrees with this. He recently pushed back against the market panic and said that AI replacing software tools is "illogical" because AI still depends on software infrastructure to function.

So I think there's going to be a massive buying opportunity for many of the best software names.

In my Retirement Millionaire newsletter, we're waiting for the dust to settle. I've talked before about how it's never the best strategy to try to catch a falling knife. Even if a business is ultra-cheap, it can always get cheaper.

The best investors wait for an uptrend to buy beaten-down companies. That's what we're doing with software stocks.

We're very excited to add a couple of high-quality names to our portfolio at basement prices... when the time is right.

In the meantime, you can still join us at Retirement Millionaire to gain access to the best investment ideas today. We're constantly poring through the market to uncover solid, cash-generating businesses with long-term growth potential.

Our focus isn't on hype or fleeting trends... It's on building a portfolio of resilient companies that can compound your wealth steadily over time. You can learn more here.

Washington's 'Project Vault' Changes Everything

The White House's $10 billion resource-stockpile program turns the U.S. government into a massive buyer of these critical minerals, creating a once-in-a-generation chance to make extraordinary returns. That's the urgent message the man widely considered to be the greatest resource investor of all time is sharing today. Get full details here BEFORE the White House buys.

What We're Reading...

Why the software stock crash is really starting to worry me.
