 You’ve seen this movie… A spaceship drifts too close to a black hole. Light bends. Time warps. Weird things happen. Then it crosses the event horizon (the point of no return)... and vanishes. That’s where I believe we are in this bull market, right now. 16 years of easy money, insane gains and tech billionaires richer than God have created a gaping black hole of risk. Now we’re past the safe zone, approaching the event horizon... the last wild rush before the immutable laws of the universe rip the whole thing apart. Don’t just take my word for it. MarketWatch says the rally’s “moving more toward melt-up mode.” Contrarian macrostrategist David Hunter believes the S&P could be headed for a parabolic 8000, before a brutal 80% drop. Even Ray Dalio (a man who’s tracked 500 years of debt cycles) warns the U.S. is heading into “very, very dark times.” Is your portfolio equipped to survive such a wild ride? Honestly, probably not. There’s a good chance you’ll get dragged into the abyss, just like millions of others. And don’t look to Washington to ride to your rescue. It’s too late for that. We were promised a big fix, but it never arrived. Instead, the debts are bigger, the deficit is fatter, and core inflation is ever higher. This market’s like a house with fresh paint and termites chewing through the foundations… it looks strong from the street with stocks at all-time highs, but beneath the surface it’s been hollowed out. Analyst Michael Lebowitz sees “striking similarities to the dot-com melt-up of 1999” and so do I. Back then, rate cuts acted like fuel on an already raging fire… predictably, the market got too hot and flamed out: 
It’s happening all over again. President Trump and Scott Bessent have pressured the Fed into cutting rates, with more to come. But history tells us that by the time desperate cuts arrive, the damage is already done. The bubble is too big. Too unstoppable. And the outcome, in my view, is inevitable. I don’t say that as a casual observer. For nearly 30 years I’ve built a career helping regular investors prepare for dramatic shifts in the financial system… calling Fannie and Freddie’s implosion, America’s lost AAA credit rating and the Covid inflation shock long before the headlines. And now, I’m doing everything I can to prepare you for the coming breaking point. Most folks will be left holding the bag, loaded up on the wrong stocks at the wrong time. That doesn’t have to be your story. In this recent broadcast, I’ll show you: - Why the most dangerous flaw in America’s financial system has reached a point of no return
- How Trump’s recent actions are accelerating the coming crisis
- And what I believe you must do now to avoid the worst of it – and potentially even profit from the shift
I also name three investments you can make today… assets that could see a huge influx of capital when this situation escalates. This might be your final chance to prepare before we cross the event horizon. Let me show you exactly what to do. Good investing, Porter Stansberry
This Week's Bonus News Off-the-Beaten-Path Metals ETFs With Big PotentialSubmitted by Nathan Reiff. Posted: 1/3/2026. 
Key Takeaways- Gold and silver have surged over the past year, rising 62% and 137% respectively amid a broad metals rally.
- Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide accessible exposure to precious and industrial metals through spot-price tracking or mining-focused strategies.
- ETFs like GMET, PALL, and PLTM offer targeted opportunities in metals tied to clean energy, including palladium and platinum.
With gold and silver posting their best year-long performances in decades in 2025, investors are paying close attention to metals heading into the new year. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer multiple ways to gain exposure—ranging from physically backed funds that track a metal's spot price to funds holding shares of mining companies and other businesses linked to the metals sector. For investors who prefer equity exposure, there are also options that target miners and service providers rather than the metals themselves. Those looking for a less conventional way to play metals can consider three ETFs with distinctive strategies or targets. Each fund below moves beyond basic gold and silver exposure to focus on companies tied to specific applications or on often-overlooked metals such as palladium and platinum—both of which have also seen dramatic price gains over the past year. Broad Geographic Reach to Access Metals Key to the Green Energy RevolutionThe VanEck Green Metals ETF (NYSEARCA: GMET) tracks companies that produce, refine, or process metals central to the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy—cobalt, copper, lithium and various rare earth elements. Because mining tends to be region-specific, GMET takes a global approach, including firms across the market-cap spectrum and maintaining a broad geographic footprint. Companies based in South Africa represent the largest allocation in GMET's portfolio at nearly 18%, followed by firms from China, Australia and Canada. The fund's roster is relatively small—about 55 companies—so it can be concentrated in a handful of names. Many holdings are not pure-play green-metal companies: GMET's largest position, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX), produces copper as well as gold and other metals. That means investors may get some exposure to the precious-metals rally indirectly, but GMET is primarily positioned for those bullish on energy-transition metals. Over the past year, GMET has climbed more than 81%, reflecting strong demand for metals tied to the clean-energy transition. Unique Exposure to a Metal Essential to the Automotive and Electronics IndustriesPalladium is a key input for catalytic converters and many electronics, and it is increasingly used in hydrogen fuel cells and certain data-storage applications. The abrdn Physical Palladium Shares ETF (NYSEARCA: PALL) is one of the few straightforward ways for investors to access palladium's spot price, since there are no publicly traded pure-play palladium miners. PALL stores palladium bars in London vaults—holding more than 500,000 ounces as of the end of September 2025. Its expense ratio is relatively high at 0.60%, but after palladium's strong performance over the past year, PALL has returned roughly 74% over the same period, which may justify the fee for some investors. Prospective buyers should note that a targetted palladium fund can leave them exposed to cyclical industries such as automotive manufacturing. Lowest-Cost Platinum ExposureThe GraniteShares Platinum Trust (NYSEARCA: PLTM) charges an expense ratio of 0.50%, making it the lowest-cost option for direct platinum exposure. Platinum serves as both a precious metal and an industrial input used in medical devices, automotive components, electronics and other specialized applications. Platinum has rallied strongly—rising about 124% over the past year and outpacing even gold. That move reflects both demand for a defensive metal during volatility and growing optimism about industrial uses in biomedical research, green-energy technologies and advanced electronics. Investors should remember that platinum supply is concentrated in a few countries—primarily South Africa and Russia—so supply squeezes, geopolitical shifts or other external disruptions can trigger outsized price swings that could benefit or hurt PLTM holders depending on the circumstances.
