You Need an 'Emergency Beacon'
By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics
For the first three days, Brittany Farrish's hiking trip was idyllic...
Farrish and a friend explored the Fryatt Valley of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. And as nightfall approached on the third day, they relaxed on a glacial lake.
Some people spend a lifetime fantasizing about this type of trip.
But then... disaster struck.
As Farrish and her friend settled in for the night, they saw a flash of lightning in the distance. And as experienced hikers, they knew the area was suffering from a drought.
Still, it was time for bed. And a storm in the distance wouldn't ruin their adventure.
That all changed by morning, though...
Farrish awoke to several urgent messages on her emergency beacon. Friends and family members were desperately trying to contact her.
The lightning storm had ignited a wildfire. And officials were evacuating the park.
Farrish and her friend raced to the trailhead. They knew it was a life-or-death situation.
The two women got to their car and headed for the highway. But they weren't in the clear yet. Fallen trees blocked their way out of the area. And the trees were too big to move.
The legendary stock-picker who built one of Wall Street's most popular buying indicators just announced the No. 1 stock to buy for 2026. His last recommendations shot up 100% and 160%. Now for a limited time, he's sharing this new recommendation live on camera, completely free of charge. It's not NVDA, AMZN, TSLA, or any stock you'd likely recognize.

A controversial analyst whose work is followed by members of all 10 of the biggest investing firms in the world is now issuing a startling warning. Today, he says 50% of the 300-plus stocks that have doubled in 2025 look due for a CRASH in 2026, according to his system. In his latest investing briefing, he even names TWO of America's most popular stocks that could suffer the most. Until tomorrow, get their names and tickers right here.
Stories of wildfires have once again filled the news recently. Images of people barely escaping the flames in California and other places are terrifying and tragic.
Fortunately, this wildfire-escape story ended well...
Remember, Farrish had her emergency beacon. I bet she never expected it to save her life. But serious hikers like Farrish buy these types of devices "just in case."
These devices weigh just a few ounces. They're the kinds of things you throw in your bag and hope you'll never use. But if you do need one, it could save your life.
That's what happened as Farrish's just-in-case scenario unfolded that day...
A Garmin (GRMN) inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator costs a few hundred bucks. But that small investment likely saved the lives of Farrish and her friend.
The fallen trees made their escape impossible by car. And the park was on fire around them.
But because of Farrish's Garmin device, the rescue team knew the exact location of the two women. They sent a helicopter. And in the end, Farrish and her friend escaped.
Folks, my point with this story is simple...
You need to make sure you have an emergency beacon for the market.
Amid periods of elevated volatility, you need to know where the danger is. And you need to know when it's time to step aside.
Now, I created the Power Gauge specifically for this purpose...
With custom alerts, you can get updates on your most important positions. And by following the ratings system, you can avoid the market's most dangerous areas.
But no matter what tool you use, I implore you to have a plan in place...
A small investment – in time, tools, or both – can make a big difference. It can be the deciding factor between great returns or investing disaster.
Good investing,
