Legendary 100X Resource Speculator Issues Urgent BUY Call
Gold and silver are soaring… the U.S. government is stockpiling rare earths… and natural resources are becoming the biggest geopolitical story in the world…
Now, the greatest resource investor of all time – who’s made a thousand times his money on these exact kinds of stocks – twice – says:
“Here’s EXACTLY what to buy – before the White House’s next move…”
Matt Weinschenk here, Publisher & Director of Research at Stansberry Research, with an important announcement...
It’s the biggest story in the financial world today...
As we speak, the United States government is massively EXPANDING its reach around the globe – with dramatic consequences.
First came Venezuela...
Then the White House began talking about Colombia... and Cuba.
And of course, President Trump has talked nonstop about GREENLAND being next.
Whatever your views on it are, we can all agree it’s unprecedented in living memory.
Now, I’m not here to discuss the rights and wrongs of any of it... or to talk about politics.
I’m here as the Publisher of one of the world’s biggest financial research firms, because what’s happening is directly connected to perhaps THE biggest story in the stock market today.
It’s a story that could make you some of the biggest returns of your life, thanks to a dramatic escalation from the White House, which could be just days away.
I’m talking about a rare chance to rapidly transform a small starting stake – thanks to the legendary investor who’s actually seen 1,000x his money, twice, on the kind of stocks at the heart of this story.
See, everything that’s happening right now comes back to NATURAL RESOURCES.
As Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick put it, alongside President Trump, in Venezuela:
It’s the same story in Greenland, where former Congressman and National Security Advisor to the President, Mike Waltz, said:
Everywhere you look, the White House’s moves come back to securing critical RESOURCES.
For instance, both the White House and the Chinese government have officially designated SILVER as a “national priority.”
So, it’s no surprise it’s exploding to record-breaking highs:
Last year, the U.S. government took direct stakes in multiple rare earth and other critical mineral stocks, driving several of them up 100% overnight:
And Energy Secretary Chris Wright has claimed the White House is preparing to take direct control of parts of the OIL market, too:
You could have doubled your money on at least 28 stocks connected to this story last year...
But according to two of the most respected resource investors in America, the race to secure key resources is about to ramp up in a major way.
You’re about to hear DIRECTLY from both of these resource stock insiders.
The first is a man who's widely considered the best resource stock investor of all time... Rick Rule.
Rick has spent 50 years investing in these stocks. He started out as a doorman in a Vancouver bar before helping to build an empire worth almost $50 billion.
Along the way, he's been involved in several truly historic wins, including two different stocks that turned a $1,000 stake into more than a million dollars.
In fact, he's the only person I know who has founded his own bank thanks to his success in the stock market.
Alongside him is a man with an equally enviable track record... his friend and protégé, Nick Hodge.
Nick’s track record is full of winners that could have totally transformed your portfolio, with personal investments that went on to soar as high as 5,135% and 66,580%... while sharing opportunities with readers to see gains as high as 940%, 1,640%... even 4,500%.
What's more, he has spent time alongside some of America's top money managers, including John Paulson, the man who famously made billions in the 2008 subprime crash, and former Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.
There's no one else on the planet more qualified to bring you this story than these two resource insiders.
And right now, they believe the resource-buying spree is about to ramp up in a huge and dramatic way, with 300x more money rushing into the sector.
So please, listen very carefully and give this presentation your full attention.
Rick originally stepped forward to alert our readers about this opportunity back in November.
Since then, the story has only gathered momentum. And still, he says, the biggest gains have yet to be made.
Which is why, with more and more news confirming this story every day, we're reopening this urgent briefing.
As you'll see, this is the only investing story that matters right now.
So please, grab a pen and paper... turn your speakers up... make sure there are no distractions around you...
And I’ll hand you over to our host, Molly Hendrickson...
MOLLY:
Now, if you follow gold, silver, or the wider resource markets, you'll almost certainly know my first guest... Rick Rule.
Rick knows how to turn a small stake into a million-dollar fortune better than anyone else alive. His Lumina Copper trade, which Rick backed alongside mining legend Ross Beaty, grew 60-fold...
Pan American Silver (PAAS) soared nearly 100-fold after Rick invested in it...
And he was personally invited to be a "day 1" investor in legendary gold company Franco-Nevada (FNV), the company that turned a $2 million seed stake into more than $2.5 billion... growing 124,000%...
Rick, thank you so much for finding time for us today.
RICK:
My pleasure, Molly.
I just hope this message reaches everyone in time – because as you just said, the stocks involved here are already moving fast.
MOLLY:
I hope so, too. I know we've already seen at least two stocks double effectively overnight.
RICK:
Correct. And those moves came entirely because of insiders in Washington.
MOLLY:
I can't wait to explore why that is. But first I should introduce our second guest... Nick Hodge.
Nick regularly invests alongside Rick.
In fact, they both backed PMET Resources (PMET), which Nick bought into at just $0.34...
Before the stock soared to nearly $18 – that's a 5,135% move...
They were co-investors again earlier this year on Headwater Gold (HWAUF)... the stock jumped 317% in under 5 months...
In fact, Nick's track record is full of the kind of wins most investors dream of – with multiple 1,000% winners.
What's more, he quite literally wrote the book on investing in this world... including the best-selling Energy Investing for Dummies.
Nick – thank you for being here.
NICK:
It's my pleasure, Molly.
Like Rick said, it could be only a matter of time before the next stock on this shortlist goes up 100%, 200%, or even 1,000%. It could literally be any day.
So, I'd love for anyone watching to be a part of the story when that happens.
MOLLY:
And you're going to actually reveal the name of a stock you think is a great way to play this story – free of charge, right?
NICK:
We are. Stay tuned to make sure you hear the name and ticker.
Before we get to that, I should point out something important...
This story directly involves many of the most powerful people in Washington...
But this isn't a political message.
Nor does it require a huge amount of capital to get started.
And best of all, you don't need to learn any new strategy or system.
Like you said, Molly, it's simply the biggest story in the stock market right now. We don't want anyone to miss out – because the upside potential here is unlike anything else you'll find.
MOLLY:
I can't wait to hear more!
OK, so let's dive in. Rick... let me start by asking you, as someone who has been investing since the early 1970s...
Have you ever seen anything like this?
RICK:
Well, after more than 50 years in the market, I kind of thought I'd seen everything...
I'm old enough to remember Nixon ending the gold standard and unleashing a massive gold and silver bull market.
I was investing in oil and gas stocks when the Arab oil embargo hit.
I've seen 10 different presidents occupy the White House... and the entire stock market "go online."
But no, I've never seen anything quite like what's happening now.
NICK:
I think it's a first for us both...
Because for the first time ever, we're seeing the stocks we spend our lives investing in targeted for reasons of national security.
These aren't the kind of "under the table" deals we've all come to expect from Washington.
This isn't Congressional insiders using their privileged positions to trade stock options and make millions for themselves.
It's a much bigger and far more urgent story than that.
RICK:
Absolutely. For most of my career, no one in power had any interest in resource stocks.
If anything, Washington was a headwind I had to push against. Often, we in the resource sector felt vilified for investing in commodity stocks.
Now we're being effectively subsidized. The federal government is functioning as the mother-of-all tailwinds.
MOLLY:
Now, Rick, you've been called the greatest resource stock investor of all time...
And you've invested in countless different resource companies over your 50-year career.
In fact, you're so successful that you were even able to found your own bank!
But despite all that... you're saying this is THE most exciting moment for resource stocks you've seen in half a century?
RICK:
Nobody is more shocked by this turn of events than me, Molly.
But when you think about who is in the White House, you begin to see that it was inevitable.
What does President Trump care about more than anything else?
He wants America to be strong and independent. He doesn't want to be seen as weak or reliant on other countries.
More than that, he's clearly obsessed with China.
Well, the list of stocks we're talking about is where those ideas all come together.
The political elite have decided there's a group of stocks that are CRUCIAL to America's national security and economic independence.
MOLLY:
They're the stocks that will save America!
RICK:
That's what the White House believes, clearly.
And that's why so many of these stocks are soaring. You could have doubled your money on 28 different stocks already this year.
We don't want anyone to miss out on what comes next.
MOLLY:
Nick, I've seen many headlines recently about the government acquiring stakes in a number of companies. I know the government bought nearly 10% of Intel (INTC).
Then there was a mining company called MP Materials (MP).
And I think I heard about a lithium mine, too.
Is this what you're talking about?
NICK:
Well, yes... But that's just a small part of the story.
There's also Trilogy Metals (TMQ), which went up more than 200% overnight when the government took a stake in it...
It's up 435% this year.
That's the part of this story a lot of investors know about.
But there's much more to what's happening than the few companies that have already made headlines.
In fact, the White House is about to massively ramp up its buying spree. We could soon see 300 times more money flood into these stocks, starting any day now.
That's why we're here today. You still have time to take advantage of this story. But you don't have long.
See, recently, many of the most powerful people in America came together and made a very prudent strategic decision...
They collectively determined that there's a shortlist of resource companies that HAVE to succeed, at all costs.
MOLLY:
Or what?
NICK:
Or the fate of our country, and our standing in the world, could be under threat like no time ever before.
Rick and I have been saying this for years.
But frankly, Molly, I never thought we'd see the government step in and actually do something about it.
I'd assumed they would continue to impede the industry with bureaucracy and red tape, as they've done for my whole career.
But this is a new day.
Now, insiders in D.C. are moving heaven and earth to boost dozens of resource stocks. It goes far beyond the stocks you've heard about.
And it's a story that's about to escalate in a major way – in fact, we could soon see 10 times more money flood into these stocks than we've seen so far.
MOLLY:
And that's central to the opportunity you're both here to share?
NICK:
It is. Because the companies the government is targeting are already rising fast.
There's Ucore Rare Metals (UURAF) – up 675%...
United States Antimony (UAMY) – up 959%...
Guardian Metal Resources (GMTLF) – up 1,289% since 2023...
And they're all going up for the same reason...
They're on the shortlist of stocks being passed around Washington – they've been effectively chosen.
MOLLY:
Which means... what?
NICK:
That the government – and many billionaires with connections in Washington – have decided these stocks are now critical to America's national security.
Washington doesn't just want these companies to succeed.
It needs them to.
This isn't Nancy Pelosi or Michael McCaul making millions of dollars trading options in their personal accounts.
This is a matter of national security. And a lot of military insiders are terrified it's going to come to a head in the very near future.
One defense industry source has already warned, "The light is turning from yellow to red."
Another said, "I can tell you... we talk about this daily."
MOLLY:
And that's why insiders in Washington are targeting these companies?
RICK:
Yes. And it goes far beyond just buying shares.
That support comes in many forms, from legally cutting red tape and fast-tracking projects, to funneling federal dollars directly into the market.
NICK:
It may even come in the form of help from billionaire donors like Peter Thiel and Jeff Bezos.
But add it all up, and the stocks on Washington's list are soaring.
MOLLY:
It sounds like – all of a sudden – the most powerful people in Washington have become obsessed with resource stocks.
Why the sudden change?
RICK:
Because they don't have a choice.
Like Nick said, Washington has decided that this is now a matter of national security.
NICK:
I would go as far as to say we're actually facing a national security crisis in the very near future.
It may not feel like that when you switch on the TV or read the newspaper, but speak to anyone in D.C. and they'll say it's looming. It may even be just days away.
It's not a financial crash, or a banking crisis, or anything like that.
It's much more dangerous, because it wouldn't just hurt America economically... It'd also be catastrophic for the military, too.
As Goldman Sachs' former head of commodities research put it:
"2008 was a financial crisis – this is a molecule crisis.
We're out of everything:oil, gas, coal, copper, aluminium - you name it, we're out of it."
– Kevin Muir
Former Head of Commodities Research at Goldman Sachs
He's absolutely right.
The next big crisis to hit America will come down to a shortage of the critical resources the military and large parts of the economy need to survive.
MOLLY:
We're facing a resource crisis?
NICK:
We are. Specifically, there's one group of resources this country just cannot survive without.
They're crucial to roughly 77% of the entire military, across the board. For the Navy, that's 91%...
All told, they're crucial to 1,908 different weapons systems, including nuclear weapons.
There are 9,000 pounds of these materials in every Virginia-class submarine... as well as all kinds of other cutting-edge technology.
And that's just the military side.
Break open your smartphone and take it apart, you'd find that these materials are what make it "smart."
Without them, your iPhone would be as dumb as those old giant cell phones from the '90s.
The same goes for electric vehicles – smash open the motor and you'll find more than a pound of these resources inside.
Without them, the entire electric vehicle ("EV") industry would grind to a halt.
MOLLY:
And we're running out of them?
RICK:
Yes, and rapidly.
America's stockpiles are already effectively empty. There may be just 60 days' supply left.
NICK:
And decades of underinvestment mean the entire supply chain is dominated by China.
In fact, 96% of our supply currently comes from China – our biggest economic rival.
Which means Beijing effectively has a "kill switch" on both the American military and economy.
MOLLY:
And that explains why so many insiders in Washington are suddenly so interested in resource stocks.
RICK:
It does.
MOLLY:
Do you think the White House is worried we'll see a rerun of the OPEC embargo?
RICK:
China now effectively holds a sword of Damocles over the entire American economy.
So yes – Beijing absolutely has the power to bring the biggest crisis since the 1973 oil embargo to America.
NICK:
In fact, a recent memo from the Chinese Government revealed this could already be underway.
If Washington can't find a solution – and fast – the consequences will be catastrophic.
It'd cripple our economy. Silicon Valley would be crushed. Our plans to be the global leader in AI would come crashing down around us. Even our military would struggle.
MOLLY:
So how can Washington avoid a catastrophe like that?
RICK:
At this point, they have only one option left. And that's to funnel vast amounts of money and insider support into the stocks Washington needs to succeed.
That's why many of the most powerful people in America are suddenly getting very interested in the stocks I've spent my whole life investing in.
And I know that for a fact... because I'm directly involved with one of the stocks on this list.
It's called Perpetua Resources (PPTA).
Both Nick and I are invested in it.
NICK:
It's a fantastic little stock. It's sitting on a big gold deposit out in central Idaho. But it turns out it also owns a massive deposit of antimony, too.
MOLLY:
I can't be the only person thinking this... "What's antimony?"
NICK:
It's a metal, in essence. In fact, if I had some in my hand right now, you'd probably think it was silver.
But antimony has some very unusual "superpowers" that silver doesn't.
If you add it to other metals like lead or copper, they become incredibly hard and durable, resistant to acid and even radiation.
So it's crucial to lots of highly advanced technology, including high-end AI chips, all the way to nuclear weapons.
Which explains why the world's superpowers are now racing to stockpile it.
The problem is, China tightly controls the antimony market. Five of the 10 biggest mines in the world are inside its borders. And the others are mostly in Russia or Tajikistan.
MOLLY:
Not our closest allies, historically.
RICK:
Correct. And that means the White House is now reliant on Beijing allowing us to import what we need.
MOLLY:
And that's where Perpetua's antimony deposits come in...
NICK:
Exactly. And, from a stock market perspective, several companies in the antimony industry have really caught the eye recently.
Larvotto Resources (LRV), a leading antimony stock, surged 900% last year when China restricted exports...
Trigg Minerals (TMGLF) is another, up 395% in a year – again largely because of its antimony reserves...
But just to get back to the stock Rick and I are involved in, Perpetua Resources...
MOLLY:
I really sent us off on a tangent there, I'm sorry.
NICK:
It's no problem at all.
After all, very few American investors have even heard of a resource like antimony... let alone know what it does.
Now, Perpetua had spent YEARS trying to get the permits it needed to develop this resource. The government moved at a glacial pace.
RICK:
Nothing new there.
NICK:
But then suddenly, almost overnight, everything changed.
In April of 2024, the Trump administration added Perpetua to its list... and began to fast-track the stock...
A month later, Perpetua got the green light it needed. As a result, Perpetua has risen more than 500% since last year...
MOLLY:
So Perpetua gets added to the list... and suddenly it's up over 500%?
RICK:
Exactly.
It has been a dramatic shift in the way the government looks at resource stocks. The biggest of my career.
NICK:
And it's moving the market in a big way.
The stocks on the list either get legally fast-tracked, using something called the FAST-41 Act, which dramatically speeds up permitting for resource stocks.
Or, alternatively, they get given money directly by the government.
Whatever form the support takes, the stocks on the list are just exploding higher.
Like the stock I mentioned earlier – Ucore. It just got millions of dollars from the Department of Defense to build a rare earth refining facility.
It's up 675% this year.
Or Critical Metals (CRML), which was chosen to supply that government-funded facility.
It's up 382% in just six months...
Then there's American Battery Technology (ABAT) – a lithium miner. Lithium is another of the minerals the government now considers critical to national security, because it's so important in battery technology.
So the government fast-tracked American Battery Technology's lithium project, and the stock tripled in a month...
Then there's Guardian Metal Resources, which is developing a tungsten project in Nevada.
The Department of Defense recently gave it $6.2 million. That's because tungsten is crucial to the military – the Defense Logistics Agency recently said it'll need 4.5 million pounds of it.
The problem is, according to one expert, "to this day they haven't filled one ton of it. It doesn't exist."
Which is a big reason why Guardian Metal Resources is now up 945%.
I'll give you another example – NioCorp Developments (NB), which is developing a scandium resource in Nebraska.
Again, most people don't know what scandium does. But it's a vital component in many aerospace industries. It was originally used in Soviet submarine-launched ballistic missiles. But there are only a few tons of it mined globally every year.
That's why NioCorp just received $10 million from the Department of Defense...
And it's up 149% in a year as a result...
RICK:
Energy Fuels (UUUU) is another one.
It's a uranium miner – and uranium is another metal the government knows will play a huge role in the economy very soon.
It also happens to be a part of the market I've studied for decades. One of the greatest trades I ever made was a uranium miner.
NICK:
Well, it looks like uranium is going to be a big part of this story again.
Energy Fuels got fast-tracked, and the stock's up 169% this year...
Uranium Energy (UEC) got fast-tracked earlier this year, too. This stock is up 1,148% since 2020...
Are you starting to see a pattern?
Of course these are extraordinary examples. Not every company on this list will see gains this high.
MOLLY:
Once a company ends up on Washington's list, they are either fast-tracked, or the government decides to simply throw money at them.
And then, the stock gains could go into overdrive.
RICK:
That's right. Effectively, the government is lowering the cost of capital for these companies.
Washington is making it easier and faster for them to raise money. And it's making it way harder for them to fail.
That's important. Ultimately, in the resource markets, the cost of capital matters. If you can raise money at a lower price than the rest of the market, you tend to outperform.
NICK:
And there's maybe no better example of this than one of the companies we mentioned earlier – MP Materials.
It owns the biggest rare earths mine in America.
Which is why the Pentagon recently bought a $400 million stake in the company, becoming its largest shareholder.
MP Materials jumped 50% in a single day... and it's up more than 300% this year.
MOLLY:
So let me make sure I understand this... this is the U.S. government, using hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money, to buy shares in a small resource stock.
NICK:
Exactly. It's the same story, over and over – a company becomes a national security priority, gets added to Washington's list, then just explodes higher.
We saw it again with Lithium Americas (LAC). In September, the government announced it wanted to take a stake in the company.
And you don't need me to tell you what happened next.
MOLLY:
It began to shoot upward.
NICK:
It went vertical – up nearly 100% overnight...
RICK:
And that neatly sums up why Nick and I are here, Molly.
We'd love for everyone watching to have a front-row seat as this story moves to the next phase.
You still have time... but not much.
Because this story is about to ramp up in a big way – like I said, the government has said it's going to ramp up its support 10-fold from here.
MOLLY:
I know you're going to give everyone the name of a great way to play this story, free of charge, a little later in today's broadcast.
And without giving any spoilers away...
I know lots of MarketWise's top experts were falling over themselves to take the stage with you today.
I think you've arranged for us to have a special mystery guest talk to everyone a little later – one of MarketWise's longest-serving editors.
But let me just go back to something you just said, Rick...
You mentioned the possibility of 100-fold returns. I want to put that into context... because for most people that's just impossible.
For most regular investors, if they get a 100% winner, they're thrilled. And in the unlikely event they land a fivefold winner... they're absolutely ecstatic.
But you've actually seen 100-fold returns multiple times.
A return like that transforms a $5,000 starting stake into half a million dollars. For most people, it's difficult to imagine seeing that number on the screen of their brokerage account...
But you've both made a career out of wins like this.
In fact, Rick, you've literally seen a 1,000x return... twice.
RICK:
Well, wins like that are rare. But they do happen in the resource market.
Buy the right stock at the right time, and it's possible to do really extraordinary things.
Paladin was a great example...
In the early 2000s, I was at a mining investment conference in Kalgoorlie, in Western Australia. The business of the town was mining, mining, mining, and selling beer to miners.
I ran into a truly unique human being at this conference...
His name was John Borshoff.
Now, at the time, I was very interested in uranium...
MOLLY:
And why was that?
RICK:
Well, because it was hated.
This was in the aftermath of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were still fresh in some people's minds.
Meaning people had a viscerally hostile reaction to uranium... and investors had no interest in it either... even though uranium accounted for 20% of the U.S. energy supply.
Which is to say that without uranium, the lights would go out.
MOLLY:
And this is when you met John Borshoff.
RICK:
Right. So here I am in Australia, and I find a guy with a small uranium company. We had a beer and talked. I asked him: how do you plan to find uranium?
He said, "I don't have to find it."
John was an exploration manager for a big German company. And when they laid him off, they gave him their worldwide exploration database. That database was built in the 1970s when the West Germans spent billions mapping uranium deposits all over the world.
So he didn't have to find uranium. All he had to do was use that database to stake his claims.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
MOLLY:
That's incredible.
RICK:
So, I happily wrote a check at 10 cents a share.
I just had a sense that Borshoff would chew through concrete to get a win. Plus, with his database, he had an advantage no one else had.
And I was rewarded for that bet. An amazing bull market in uranium followed, with the price jumping from $8 a pound to $145 a pound.
And Paladin just exploded. After falling to 1c, I watched it hit 50c... a dollar... five dollars...
I sold plenty along the way. But that was the move. A 1,000 times move.
So yes, it's certainly possible. I've done it. I'm living proof.
MOLLY:
And you believe we could see moves like that again in the resource bull market we're in right now?
RICK:
I do.
NICK:
They could actually be even bigger this time.
Back then, we didn't have the full weight and backing of the U.S. government behind that uranium bull market.
But today, when it comes to producers of these minerals that have become national security priorities, we do.
Which means we could be at the beginning of the biggest, fastest resource bull market of all time.
MOLLY:
And I guess I should remind everyone that if you stick with us, we're going to show you exactly where to move your money immediately – as the crucial next chapter of this story plays out.
Which brings us back to the stock market. And the million-dollar question here is – how do we know which stocks are going to be targeted next?
NICK:
Well, we know that powerful folks in Washington are certainly watching resource stocks very, very closely.
Earlier this year, the White House quietly hired a guy named David Copley, who happens to be both a former mining executive and a Navy intelligence officer. Specifically, he was tasked with finding the resource stocks that can secure our supply chains.
I'd bet he has a whole team of people out there looking for the projects they want to back.
MOLLY:
Well, given the Oval Office is hiring resource talent, I have to ask you...
Have either of you had a call from the White House yet?
RICK:
No. At least, not yet!
But I can tell you this...
The natural resource market is a small world.
After 50 years on the inside, I like to think I can pick up the phone and call everyone who matters.
MOLLY:
You certainly have your finger on the pulse of everything that's going on in this sector.
That's why MarketWise Founder Porter Stansberry regularly asked you to join the summits he organized for his most trusted connections. It's why you've spoken at our private, subscriber-only meetings multiple times, going all the way back to 2005.
I doubt anyone knows more than you about these stocks, Rick. I wouldn't be surprised to hear the government had been in touch.
NICK:
Neither would I!
But it's not just the government moving this market...
This story actually includes a lot of very powerful billionaires, too.
Because Silicon Valley faces the same problem as the U.S. military.
It needs vast amounts of these resources – for emerging technology like AI, quantum computing, driverless cars, and robotics, as well as existing products like smartphones and EVs.
That's why a lot of powerful people are essentially following the government's lead – and striking deals with resource companies.
Peter Thiel, one of the earliest Trump supporters and donors in Silicon Valley, is developing a uranium facility in Kentucky...
Then you have the more recent Trump donors like Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, who are backing a rare earth play in Greenland.
Then there's another really interesting company, called Resolution Minerals (RML).
It's another rare earth company, based out of Australia. In May, it traded for just 1 cent a share.
Then, all of a sudden, its share price exploded nearly eightfold...
MOLLY:
What happened?
NICK:
Well, it turned out that an investment bank called Dominari Securities was rumored to be bringing Resolution Minerals to the Nasdaq.
And guess where this company is based?
MOLLY:
Washington D.C.?
NICK:
No... Dominari is actually based inside the Trump Tower in New York... in fact, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are shareholders.
MOLLY:
So, this isn't taxpayer money... it's Trump family money?
NICK:
In this case, yes. Millions of dollars of it.
It's happening everywhere you look...
The President's former bodyguard... a former compliance chief... and even a private investigator who used to work for Donald Trump are all now working to bring new critical mineral deals to the table.
And, frankly, it doesn't matter if you love or loathe Donald Trump. This story is so much bigger than partisan politics. In very real terms, it's about American survival.
MOLLY:
It's like you said... suddenly, our political elite are obsessed with natural resources.
RICK:
The President has already signed SIX executive orders that directly support the resource sector.
Look at the small print of many of the President's recent international deals, and you'll find resource deals.
Look at Trump's deal with Ukraine – it gives the U.S. favorable access to Ukrainian critical minerals.
NICK:
The same thing goes for deals with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And with Brazil and Myanmar, too.
The President's recent trip to Asia had the same result. More deals on critical minerals – this time with Thailand and Malaysia.
In South Africa, the White House isn't just signing deals... It has already pledged $50 million in funding for a rare earth company.
That stock just doubled in six months...
Quite simply, everything we've said today all points in the same direction.
And if you don't understand how this is going to impact your portfolio, you're about to get left behind – because the government is now choosing who wins and who loses across the stock market.
MOLLY:
But isn't that... wrong?
RICK:
Look, I'm a believer in the free market. I'd prefer the government to stay out of our way.
But this isn't political insiders trading stock options in their personal accounts, for personal gain. It's much bigger.
NICK:
Like I said, this is all being done for very sound national security reasons.
Our economy desperately needs these resources to survive...
But China has a monopoly on the supply.
Now most of these resources are so obscure that most people can't even pronounce their names properly, never mind explain what they do.
They're right down at the bottom of the periodic table, away from all the elements we learn about at school.
But as a group, they're absolutely make-or-break to our economy.
- For instance, without yttrium, our semiconductors wouldn't work properly. No yttrium, no super-fast computer processing, no smartphones, no AI data centers.
- Without neodymium, the magnets that are crucial to high-end robotics and drone technology just wouldn't work.
- Or europium – that's another one that's critical to artificial intelligence.
- As is lanthanum, which goes into nickel-metal batteries, which power AI devices.
In other words, without rare earths... all the ambitious plans Silicon Valley has for new technology come to a grinding halt.
MOLLY:
They're almost like the "hidden heartbeat" of our economy.
Like oil and gas.
RICK:
Except everyone knows how important oil is.
When there's a shock in the oil industry – and I'm old enough to remember the original oil shock back in the 1970s – everyone knows about it right away.
You see the price of gas going up day after day. You see the lines of cars outside the gas station. You can feel the panic among people.
That isn't the case with rare earths. You never hear someone in a bar say, "Hey, did you see the price of europium today?!"
MOLLY:
They're just not on the average person's radar.
NICK:
But without them, aircraft wouldn't fly... submarines couldn't function properly... and many of the high-tech defense systems that are designed to keep us safe would fail.
For instance, every F-35 aircraft requires 900 pounds of rare earths. A Virginia-class submarine needs more than 10 times that figure – 9,200 pounds.
Without these rare earth minerals, work on everything stops immediately. The military, Silicon Valley, the transportation and aviation industry... it'd all grind to a halt.
And believe me... some very well-connected people are worried we're going to run out soon. Earlier this year, one insider warned that "the whole car industry is in full panic."
There are already stories that military contractors are prepared to pay 60 times the usual asking price for some of these materials.
MOLLY:
People are getting desperate.
RICK:
Absolutely. Because the supply of rare earths is very vulnerable.
This wasn't always the case. Back in the 1970s, the U.S. was the world's dominant rare earth superpower. Roughly 99% of the world's heavy rare earths were mined right here.
NICK:
But now that's all changed, as I mentioned earlier...
Now it's CHINA that's the world's rare earth superpower. It controls 70% of mine output and 80% of refining capacity.
The rest of our supply comes mostly from Malaysia, Japan, and Estonia.
The U.S. doesn't even make it into the top four!
So, we've effectively gone from controlling a big part of the market to being totally dependent on China.
MOLLY:
We've basically outsourced the whole supply chain.
RICK:
Exactly. Which makes us hugely vulnerable.
In fact, by some estimates, we have just 60 days of supply in our stockpiles.
NICK:
Just think about that...
If China cut our exports, we'd have just two months before large parts of our economy ground to a halt.
MOLLY:
It's hard to imagine what that would look like...
NICK:
Well, imagine Apple suspending sales of its iPhone, because there just aren't any left.
Imagine seeing "No Stock Left" signs in Tesla dealerships.
Imagine Nvidia admitting to the market that it has shut down its chip-making facilities, because of "supply chain issues."
Or imagine the military warning that it can't supply troops with the weapons they need. Or the nuclear reactors powering down because of supply chain issues.
We saw this during COVID. Remember how hard – and expensive – it was to buy a new car, because we just couldn't get the chips we needed from China?
Well, imagine that, but across the entire economy.
MOLLY:
It'd be a nightmare.
NICK:
That's right. It'd cut the stock market in half – winners on one side, losers on the other.
I've no idea how far Apple (AAPL) or Nvidia (NVDA) or Tesla (TSLA) stock would fall in a situation like that. But it wouldn't be pretty.
I certainly wouldn't want to be holding the wrong stocks in that situation.
And a nightmare scenario like this isn't as outlandish as it sounds. Last year, Ford Motor was forced to close one of its factories for a week because of a rare earth shortage.
That's what happens when you're living "hand to mouth" with a critical resource.
You're completely exposed to sudden disruptions... and there's nothing you can do about it.
That's why Apple signed a $500 million supply deal with U.S.-based rare earth mine MP Materials earlier this year. It doesn't want to end up like Ford.
MOLLY:
It's almost like we didn't learn our lesson from the oil shocks of the '70s.
RICK:
I don't think we did.
Back in the '70s, we relied on the Middle East for our oil.
That works if everyone is feeling friendly. But the second those foreign powers turned against us and cut off our supply... prices exploded and the economy nosedived.
The price of oil quadrupled in a year. We had massive shortages and a big recession. Unemployment almost doubled. Inflation hit double digits.
MOLLY:
Weren't those the years that you built your first fortune in the resource industry?
RICK:
I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. It was a great time to be in the oil-and-gas industry.
Not just because prices were rising, though of course that helped.
But because the paradigm changed so quickly. All of a sudden it became crucial to develop DOMESTIC supplies of energy.
And that's exactly what's happening again.
MOLLY:
So, China controls a resource that's critical to our economy – worth tens or even hundreds of trillions in economic growth.
But would Beijing really do what OPEC did back in the '70s?
NICK:
In a word: yes. They've done it before...
Back in 2010, China got into a feud with Japan regarding fishing rights in some disputed islands. So, Beijing cut off the supply of rare earths.
It was a move straight out of the OPEC playbook.
And as a result, the price of some rare earths went crazy. Dysprosium oxide went up 26-fold...
So, China's definitely prepared to use its rare earth dominance as a weapon.
In fact, this is exactly the card Beijing played earlier this year...
It knows that rare earths are its secret weapon. They're the "single point of failure" for the U.S. economy. And China controls the supply.
When the tariff negotiations began earlier this year, China weaponized rare earths once more.
In April, it imposed export controls on seven different rare earth metals. Because, even though our leaders refused to learn any lessons from the OPEC embargo, China had been paying attention.
MOLLY:
Did it work?
NICK:
The impact was instant.
In May, U.S. imports of rare earth magnets collapsed 93%.
That was a sign of things to come.
Remember, China holds a monopoly on the entire rare earth supply chain – both of mining and processing.
For instance, it produces 92% of the world's neodymium-iron-boron magnets. Without them, there'd be no electric vehicles or military submarines.
MOLLY:
So, they banned exports in April... imports collapsed in May... but here we are in November, and we haven't seen a crisis – can you explain?
NICK:
That's because the two governments agreed on a last-minute short-term deal.
Then in October, China imposed NEW tariffs on rare earth exports, threatening to cut us off again. Any product containing more than 0.1% rare earths needs explicit approval from Beijing to be exported.
This has been called the "nuclear option." And it showed just how serious China is about this.
MOLLY:
But didn't we find a resolution to that? I heard there was a deal...
NICK:
There was. China has agreed not to embargo rare earth exports for another 12 months.
But the reality is, that deal changes absolutely nothing about this story.
Beijing can still change its mind and cut us off at any point. We're reliant on the Chinese Communist Party essentially doing us a favor.
The deal may hold for a while. Or it could collapse at any point.
What's more, it EXPIRES in a year. And the clock is already counting down.
Either way, it doesn't change the fact that we need to urgently develop our own domestic resources, or we'll forever be at risk.
Our political elite know this. That's why they're buying and supporting so many resource stocks.
It's why the Pentagon spent $36 million buying a stake in Trilogy Metals, sending it up 200% overnight.
And it's why the government is directly and indirectly boosting the entire sector.
Traders at Morgan Stanley have named 39 different stocks in the sector, all of which could play a key part in this story.
Incredibly, 28 of them doubled or more in the first 10 months of this year, with nine of them up more than 400% in the same time period.
MOLLY:
So, the big question is... what happens next?
NICK:
Well, there's only so long we can kick the can down the road for this.
The spectre of another OPEC-style embargo crippling our economy is just too much.
So, regardless of any deal China agrees to... we're going to see a massive ramp up in support for the resource sector.
The Department of Defense says it wants a "mine to magnet" supply chain it can control. That means domestic mines AND domestic processing facilities.
That won't happen overnight. Or even in the 60 days it'd take for our stockpiles to dwindle if China chose to cut off our supply.
That's why the government has actually named the key resources that are most critical to our future – mostly rare earths, plus a handful of others like nickel, magnesium, copper, cobalt, and others.
Taken together, these key materials are at the heart of the opportunity we're trying to get into people's hands today.
MOLLY:
Okay, but let me play devil's advocate here...
So many of the stocks you've mentioned are already up so much this year – aren't you worried we're too late?
RICK:
No. And that's because the government itself has said it's going to increase its stock purchases 10-fold.
MOLLY:
How do you know that?
RICK:
Well, the MP Materials buy was $400 million.
But now the White House is preparing to launch a $5 billion mining fund to invest directly in these kinds of stocks.
NICK:
Just think about that...
We saw MP Materials jump more than 300% after the Pentagon moved "just" $400 million into it.
The Pentagon put $36 million into Trilogy Metals. It didn't have to put any new money down for its Lithium Americas stake.
So, it has put less than $500 million into the market.
What do you imagine happens when the government starts buying with 10 TIMES more money?
I'll answer my question, because this is really the crux of everything I'm here to talk about...
We're going to see some truly enormous returns in the next phase of this story. And soon. I'm talking 20 times, 50 times, even 100 times your money.
MOLLY:
I'm sure investors would pay a lot for a chance to see that shortlist of stocks the White House plans to invest in next.
It seems like every time a new name gets added to the list, the stock explode higher.
NICK:
That's exactly what's happening. It's a race against time, and these stocks are the only answer.
Again... think about what we've seen so far.
- Perpetua Resources – up 500% since last year.
- U.S. Antimony – up 959%.
- Guardian Metal Resources – up 1,289% since 2023.
Of course, these are extraordinary market examples. And past performance is no guarantee for future results.
But just imagine owning the next stock on that list – because that's exactly what I'd love to help you do.
And you know... there's another dimension to this story, too. And that's Wall Street.
The government is leading things. But Wall Street is following.
Just recently, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon announced a $1.5 trillion resources fund to be invested over a decade.
That's $150 billion a year moving into the market.
Again, the government has committed less than $500 million to resource stocks so far.
But once you factor in Wall Street, there's 300 TIMES more money coming every single year for the next decade.
That money could start moving literally any day now.
In other words, both the US government AND Wall Street are about to ramp UP the buying spree.
The deal with China really just gives us a short window of time to prepare for the day Beijing finally DOES cut us off.
MOLLY:
That's incredible.
Rick... could this be the biggest resource stock boom of all time?
RICK:
I think so. I think we're still early in the story. By the time this is over, you're going to see some stocks do incredible things.
MOLLY:
You know, I'm lucky enough to interview a lot of people in the financial markets. A BIG topic this year has been finding the next big AI winner.
But it strikes me that THIS story is a really smart way to play the rise of AI, because without these minerals... there's no AI.
NICK:
Absolutely. And it's far more profitable right now.
For instance, Nvidia is up 28% this year... but a stock like Guardian Metals is up 8 TIMES more...
Or what about another AI darling – Super Micro Computer (SMCI). It's up just more than 50% this year – but U.S. Antimony is up 4 times as much...
Then you have a stock like Palantir (PLTR), the AI military firm that has absolutely exploded this year after big deals with the Pentagon.
It has more than doubled. But you could have made nearly 3 times as much by holding the rare earth stock the Pentagon has partnered with, MP Materials...
And I'm convinced there's a lot more upside ahead.
Owning the next stocks to hit Washington's list is going to be extremely lucrative.
MOLLY:
Well, no one knows what a 100x winner in this space looks like better than you, Rick.
Like I said at the start, you've been involved in some absolutely legendary wins.
Like Franco-Nevada – up more than 100,000%.
And you were a founding shareholder of Pan American Silver, which jumped thousands and thousands of percent after you invested.
But I'm guessing this is NOT a market where you can expect to throw a dart and land on a winner?
RICK:
Correct, Molly.
There are something like 7,400 natural resource stocks in the world.
But the problem is that a lot of them have no real value.
In fact, I'd say less than 10% of the market has any real potential. And it's those stocks the government – and investors – are going to have to find.
MOLLY:
But it's safe to say that after spending 50 years in the business, and getting to know everyone who matters, you already know the best companies that are likely to make the list?
RICK:
Now look... I know that there's a lot of mystique surrounding the world of resource investing. It can seem like the Wild West. If you're an outsider, it can feel truly baffling.
And if anyone at home has ever felt like that, it's certainly not their fault.
That's why we're here today. The resource industry has been very good to me – as the examples we've discussed today show you. I've made 10 times my money more than I can remember, and seen 100 times returns multiple times.
But it's not because I'm a math whiz and, to be frank, I consider myself a lousy trader, too.
MOLLY:
So how do you explain your success?
RICK:
The secret isn't always the ability to spot the best deposits or the best geology. Though obviously that matters.
The real secret is the ability to spot the best people.That's particularly true with smaller stocks.
I know that sounds old-fashioned, especially when everyone in the financial world seems to have a fancy high-tech system.
But in the resources industry, people still matter.
If you truly want the opportunity to lock in the staggering gains that this world is famous for, well, then you've got to focus on aligning with the very best people available to you.
MOLLY:
I'm guessing this is where 50 years in the industry puts you way ahead of everyone else. You must know everyone!
RICK:
Yes, for better or worse! I can pick up the phone and get most people who matter to talk to me. But it wasn't always like this. At the start, I had to do it the hard way.
When I moved to Canada for school in the '70s, I worked at night and went to school during the day.
My only transferable skill at the time was the simple fact that I was a big kid. I boxed from ages 8 to 18.
And because I had those skills, and because I preferred to remain sober while others were drinking, it meant that I could work as a bouncer.
In really short order, I progressed from bouncer to bar owner. Meaning I was still a student when I came to own a bar in downtown Vancouver.
This bar became the after-hours nexus for all of the main characters involved in the Vancouver Stock Exchange at the time... from Peter Brown – who was the dean of that exchange – all the way down the totem pole.
MOLLY:
So, you literally went from a doorman to a peer of some of the country's most powerful people.
RICK:
Well, I don't know about "peer" at that point, but I was able to learn natural resource finance much more at night – pouring whiskey and talking to people with skin in the game... than I was during the day studying under professors who had never set foot in a mine.
That was where it all started. First it was about learning from the right people. Then later, as I built my resource company, it became about making sure I was in business with the right people.
MOLLY:
You know, it's refreshing – even surprising – to hear someone say that people still matter. We hear so much about technology and AI and all kinds of complicated trading ideas these days...
RICK:
Well, you've heard the Mark Twain quote about a gold mine being a hole in the ground with a liar standing next to it, right?
There's a lot of truth in that. And not just in the gold mining industry. That's the entire natural resource industry.
The real key is to find the good, smart, honest guys who know what they're doing. People who understand the geology and understand the market.
And most of all, you want to find people who are serially successful.
People who have a long track record of success. Find those people, stick close to them, and you massively increase your chances of finding a 50 times or 100 times prospect.
NICK:
That was really the key to your Paladin investment, wasn't it Rick? It was meeting John Borschoff that brought you the opportunity.
RICK:
Absolutely. John had been in the uranium industry for decades. He'd seen it all. And he was willing to back himself. He asked for a uranium database as his severance when he was laid off.
How many people do you think would have done that?
And that's a critical point to recognize. The genesis of that thousand-bagger was spotting a person I just knew would be successful.
That's the lesson that was the North Star of my entire career. Just invest with the best.
I see this over and over...
- There's Robert Friedland. He's a billionaire financier in the mining industry. And he's a polymath. He can talk to you about 20 things and he can listen. He asks really deep, probing, penetrating questions.
- Unsurprisingly, he has been serially successful. He hires the best people, and he is always, always, always working.
- It's no mistake that Robert has made five major discoveries in his life. Which is five more than most people make.
- Or you look at the Lundin Group. The Lundins have been responsible for 11 major discoveries in my lifetime.
- Ross Beaty is another. He's arguably the most successful mining entrepreneur in the world. He has founded 15 companies, and all 15 delivered a 10 times return for early shareholders.
MOLLY:
You've been a part of some of these companies, right?
RICK:
Multiple, thankfully.
Believe me, if Ross calls me up, or Robert Friedland or the Lundins call me up... I'm going to answer the phone... and if I can, I'm going to get on a plane and I'm going to get myself in on the deal.
MOLLY:
And that sort of rolodex is more valuable than ever today, considering that the government is racing to secure the resources that are key to our future national security.
RICK:
That's a large part of the reason why I'm here today, Molly.
What we're seeing today is unprecedented... and I say that as someone who has been immersed in this world for half a century.
NICK:
I want to really hammer this point home...
No one knows how long it's going to play out for. In six months or a year, the government could have already picked all the stocks it wants to own.
By then, it'll be far too late. That's why you need to move fast.
This is a rare, rare situation. In fact, the closest time you could compare it with would be Operation Paperclip, right after World War II.
RICK:
That's a great comparison.
NICK:
It's the only other time I can think of when the government basically bought the entire supply chain for a critical industry.
So if you're unfamiliar, Operation Paperclip involved taking 1,600 scientists and engineers from defeated Germany and bringing them to the U.S.
It was a massive operation. But it allowed the U.S. to dramatically accelerate its space program.
The White House went to these extreme lengths because the space race was seen as critically important to national security, global power status, and ideological supremacy.
Just like today's story.
In fact, those engineers played a key role in military research for decades. We may never have landed on the moon without Operation Paperclip.
That's the only other time I can think of that involved such a massive coordination across the government.
And today it's not scientific talent... but the stocks Rick and I have spent our lives investing in that are the key to the story.
There are millions of dollars to be made here. Some of these stocks are going to the moon.
RICK:
And Nick, you're the guy who's going to show everyone how to do it.
Molly, Nick is far too modest to say it... but what makes his track record so remarkable is that he doesn't just find these huge winners for himself... He does everything in his power to bring his readers along for the ride, too.
MOLLY:
That's absolutely true. Nick, your track record is full of the kind of stocks we'd all love to have owned.
You helped your subscribers land up to 9 times their money on nuclear stocks.
During the lithium boom, you gave readers the chance to land over 1,640%...
And one of your battery metals plays went up more than 4,500%.
A $5,000 stake in a play like that turns into more than $200,000.
These are serious, serious wins...
And Nick, you invest alongside Rick on a lot of deals, right?
NICK:
That's correct. I'm a very lucky man. And I'm able to share some of that intelligence with my readers.
So, Rick mentioned Perpetua Resources earlier today – it's up 500% in the past 18 months.
But I told my readers about that stock all the way back in 2013.
Look, we've covered what's happening in a lot of detail. But there's just so much evidence to back this idea up. We could be here a week and still not cover everything.
For instance, Rick mentioned that antimony is a big part of the Perpetua story he told.
Well, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency just gave U.S. Antimony a five-year contract worth $245 million. Unsurprisingly, the stock is up 959% this year.
What's happening right now in the resource sector is unlike anything I've seen in my career. Period.
I'm convinced investors will look back on this moment in years to come and wish they were right here, right now.
RICK:
It's unlike anything I've seen in my career... and I've been doing this since 1974!
Who knows when we'll get another chance like this – it could be another 50 years... if at all.
NICK:
Exactly. There are just so, so many crucial factors that have lined up perfectly today... and it's opening up a once-in-a-generation opportunity for investors, assuming they act quickly.
I've waited a lifetime for a moment like this.
And I want everyone watching at home to listen very closely when I say:
In this world, you really only need to be right once.
You don't have to speculate wildly to profit from this breaking story. There is no need to.
The size of this opportunity is so big... so asymmetric... that you only need to dip your toe into this.
Meaning just a small stake could potentially turn into tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars or more... if Rick and I are even HALF right.
Look, there are certainly risks, as there are with any investment. But the potential rewards here are SO much bigger. This is the type of asymmetric trade you only come across a few times in your lifetime.
Just think about what we're seeing...
The richest and most powerful entity on planet Earth is now zeroing in on companies and buying up their shares hand over fist.
More importantly for us, by doing so, the U.S. government is also bidding up the portfolios of anyone who puts their money in the right places.
It's unprecedented.
RICK:
He's right. I think the move we're talking about is inevitable. It may also be imminent.
But it's really a case of "when" this happens, not if. That's why the time to move is now.
MOLLY:
Which brings me to the most important question of all... where exactly should we be moving our money?
NICK:
That's exactly what Rick and I have been working on.
We've spent months trying to answer this question. It's not easy.
As Rick said earlier, there are more than 7,000 natural resource stocks out there.
Most of them are worthless for one of two reasons.
- Either they're not run by people we trust to deliver success...
- The "serially successful" people, to use Rick's term.
- Or the geology isn't right – what's going on under the ground just isn't going to be viable in any real way.
RICK:
But more often than not, the two problems come together.
You find a lot of companies with terrible prospects under the ground, run by people who don't know what they're doing above ground.
NICK:
So our first job was to rule all of those companies out.
That eliminates thousands of stocks and leaves us with a much more manageable list.
Then it's really a case of doing the hard work. Getting on the phone and talking to the management. Getting on the road and visiting mines, talking to the landmen on the ground.
To touch on Perpetua Resources again...
MOLLY:
The gold and antimony company that jumped 500% inside a year...
NICK:
Right. I was trying to alert folks to it when it cost less than $1 a share.
And not because of some headline I read, but because I walked through the mine in Idaho!
I go out and walk the land, go down the mines when I can. It's the only way to be successful.
That kind of research helps us know exactly what to look for.
In fact, we've both spent decades – and invested millions of dollars – in exactly these kinds of companies.
And we're confident we've found our stocks.
They all either produce or are developing minerals that we know the government has classified as critical.
If I were President Trump, and I wanted to secure our resource supply lines, these are EXACTLY the stocks I'd buy.
RICK:
And it's worth pointing out, Nick has been early on this whole story.
He recommended his readers buy MP Materials long before the government got excited.
And I think he closed out something like a 185% gain on that one.
NICK:
That's true. Buying is one thing. But selling is another side of this altogether. In a volatile market like this, knowing when to take profits is just as key.
We're also up 184% on another trade in this space, in just nine months.
Another stock we recommended last year is already up 79%.
But there's a lot more to come.
Remember, the government is preparing to launch its $5 billion mining fund, while JPMorgan Chase is about to start putting $150 billion a year into this market.
There are only really a handful of super high-quality names out there – stocks I could realistically see the government taking a stake in.
A lot of them are companies I've recommended before. But you need to act now if you want the chance at the best gains.
MOLLY:
I think everyone wants the names of those stocks, Nick!
Of course, you both invest your own money in these types of stocks, right?
RICK:
Absolutely.
NICK:
I do...
I know that's unlike what the folks at home are likely accustomed to with research at MarketWise. Those editors can't invest in their recommendations. But we can – we have actual skin in the game.
Resource stocks made me a millionaire at 30 and a multimillionaire at 40.
We both have a deep understanding of these stocks.
And, given this historic moment, Rick and I dropped everything to identify the handful of stocks we expect to play a massive part in this story very soon.
That's why I'm thrilled to announce that we are launching a brand-new research service that's completely dedicated to this extraordinary opportunity in resource stocks.
It's called Underground Alpha.
And even after decades recommending dozens of big winners to my readers...
I truly believe that the biggest potential stock winners of my career are going to come from this new service.
So, we're throwing open the doors today for the very first time. And inviting everyone watching right now to become Charter Members and access our brand-new model portfolio.
RICK:
Now, this isn't a publication anyone at MarketWise will have heard about before, because it's not a MarketWise publication.
It's going to be totally new to your audience, Molly. And I want to be clear that while there are hundreds of resource analysts out there, there are very few other people on the planet experienced enough to create research like this dependably.
And Nick is one of those people. As I said before, success in this business is all about being able to judge people. And Nick is the real deal.
MOLLY:
So how does it work?
NICK:
It's actually really simple.
Underground Alpha is where you'll get the names of the best natural resource stocks around – stocks with the upside potential unlike anything else out there.
If the idea we've been sharing today has you excited... well, you'll absolutely love Underground Alpha.
If you want to own the next stocks the government could take a stake in or fast-track, before they potentially go up 500%... 1,000%... even 10,000%...
You'll hear about them in Underground Alpha first.
That's our goal.
Like I said, we've got a model portfolio of high-upside recommendations waiting for you.
But we've also prepared a whole library of special reports and bonuses especially for folks who join us today.
There's a lot to cover, but I can quickly give you the highlights here.
It all starts with a crucial new report called The Chosen Ones:The Stocks Set to Join the White House's Buy List.
Inside this report are the names and tickers of the stocks Rick and I are convinced you should own IMMEDIATELY to get ahead of the next big move from Washington.
And instead of you reading about these companies in the Wall Street Journal or Yahoo! Finance AFTER they've already ripped upwards, we want to share the names and tickers of the exciting stocks we believe are next in line... BEFORE the big moves take place.
Look, this story isn't some rumor or hot take. It's already well underway.
In fact, given the huge wins you've already seen today... the fact that the White House is pumping money into these types of companies is a matter of national security...
I really don't think it's an exaggeration to say this could be the most important dossier you'll ever lay eyes on.
But this report is just the beginning...
Because there's also a second report that I want to send to everyone tuning in, called Ride the Metal of the Century to 1,000% Gains.
This report contains the stocks Rick and I think have just crazy, crazy upside as this story plays out.
Our goal is to make 2026 the best year of your financial life to date.
It's the perfect way to take this story even further... and focus on the one linchpin metal that we could soon run out of, leading to major shortages and a massive profit opportunity.
We can delve into things in more detail in a second, but first... there are a couple more reports I want to mention.
We just put the finishing touches on a third report called The Next Paladin.
That's obviously a nod to Rick's legendary 1000-fold winner back in the early 2000s.
Now, no reasonable person would forecast a 1000x gain. But we think we've found another opportunity just like it that could do truly special things in the days to come. We want to help all our readers take advantage.
MOLLY:
You're really handing people everything they need to be a part of this story...
NICK:
That's our mission, yes.
RICK:
Look, we should stress one point here...
This is an opportunity 50 years in the making. But it may not be around for all that long.
Like Nick says, there are only so many companies the White House can target. It's a finite list. Miss your chance and you won't get another.
NICK:
Absolutely. We've already seen several big moves this year.
We want – we NEED – to get ahead of the next big move.
So look, maybe we can cut to the chase here. There are additional reports and bonuses we've prepared for everyone, going even deeper into this opportunity.
We don't want anyone to miss what's already playing out right under their noses and regret it for years to come.
So we've prepared a whole suite of bonuses and elite-level research, which – when you total it up – comes to more than $10,544... although those watching at home won't need to pay anywhere even close to that today.
And please keep in mind, this is not run-of-the-mill information you'll see anywhere else...
This is the shared wisdom of my own career in this exciting world along with that of Rick Rule – whom I believe is hands down the world's best resource investor.
And unlocking it couldn't be simpler.
All you need to do is say "yes" today and become a Charter Member of Underground Alpha.
You'll immediately receive everything we've discussed already, and more...
Given the extraordinary information we're revealing, one year of access to Underground Alpha normally costs just $5,000.
Which is a steal when you consider the size and urgency of this opportunity. The stocks we're talking about are just soaring at the moment. This is the perfect time to make your move...
However, you won't pay anywhere close to that today.
We have reached an extraordinary tipping point in the U.S. stock market. With a WAVE of profitable stocks now poised to potentially skyrocket.
I don't want you to miss out.
Which means you can access all the research and opportunities we've discussed, plus several bonuses worth thousands we haven't even covered yet... all for just $2,499.
Given the huge, rapid-fire wins we're seeing right now, I don't think it's a stretch to say just one of these plays could potentially cover that cost multiple times over. That's certainly my goal.
But I should stress... if you're interested in being a part of this story, now is the time to act.
The stocks we're looking at could double or triple overnight, literally at any point, given what we're seeing in the markets.
That's already happened with Lithium Americas and MP Materials, to name just two. I really don't want people to miss the next move and get left behind.
The best way to avoid missing out is to join us today.
MOLLY:
Now Nick, we just covered a LOT... I wonder if we should slow down and really walk everyone through what they get with their Underground Alpha subscription and talk about the bonuses you've prepared.
NICK:
Absolutely.
So the key to this opportunity is that – as Rick explained – minerals MATTER.
That's why the authorities are stepping into the market with such large sums of money.
We can obviously get ahead of them if we own the right stocks.
But one point we haven't covered yet is the fact that public companies are following the government's lead.
So we mentioned the government has become the largest shareholder in MP Materials.
But Apple has also locked in a $500 million deal.
Other tech giants are making similar moves. Microsoft (MSFT) is already "mining" rare earths from old computer drives.
Amazon (AMZN) is doing the same with a big rare earths recycling plant.
How long before either of those companies takes a direct stake in a rare earth play?
MOLLY:
The way you put it, it kind of feels like it's inevitable...
NICK:
I'd say so.
After all, both Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have directly invested in a rare earth mine already.
The Saudis have even made mining the "third pillar" of their economy and signed a deal with MP Materials.
And you know... it's not that crazy of an idea that a tech firm would decide to just get into the mining business directly.
Elon Musk already did it with Tesla.
In 2022 he warned that he might take radical action over the price of lithium.
MOLLY:
It's the same story all over again...
NICK:
Exactly. And it's why Tesla started doing lithium deals with mining firms like Liontown Resources (LTR).
Liontown's share price went from $1 to $1.80 as a result...
The same thing happened with Piedmont Lithium. A September 2020 contract with Tesla sent its share price sky high – up eightfold...
Ford's CEO actually ended up saying it'd end up taking control of its supply chain "all the way back to the mines."
RICK:
Turned out that was pure prophecy.
But not just for Ford... for the entire U.S. government.
NICK:
That's so true.
And it means the stocks we're recommending have multiple triggers.
There's the U.S. government and its buy list of resource companies.
But then there's also darn near every big firm in Silicon Valley.
It all points in one direction. Some of these stocks are going to the moon.
And, if you act now, YOU can be a part of this story, right from where you are sitting.
Beginning with the top recommended picks in that first report I mentioned, The Chosen Ones: The Stocks Set to Join the White House's Buy List.
MOLLY:
OK, I'm crystal clear on that one.
But tell me more about the second report you mentioned...
NICK:
Absolutely. It's called Ride the Metal of the Century to 1,000% Gains.
And in it, we've taken a deep dive into another highly profitable part of this story.
Now, we've already spoken at length about rare earths...
But there's another metal that's critical to the future of the technology industry – again, from AI to electric vehicles to robotics...
And that's copper.
It's very much the metal of the century.
But we could literally be months away from massive shortages.
In fact, I think we're approaching a perfect storm for copper prices.
MOLLY:
Why?
NICK:
Two reasons...
First, because demand is only going to go up from here. It's going exponential. Copper is crucial to all the AI data centers springing up everywhere. It's also vital to renewable energy and EVs.
RICK:
It's everywhere. Demand is only going one direction – UP.
Over the past 11,000 years, all the copper ever mined in history comes to about 700 million metric tons. That's about three and a half million Statues of Liberty all standing in a line.
But today – because of the skyrocketing demand – the world needs to mine another 700 million metric tons all over again...
But instead of having 11,000 years to do it, they have just 22!
NICK:
But the copper supply is very, very shaky.
There have been warnings that we're going to have copper shortages for years.
But it looks like now we're finally seeing those predictions play out because of three major supply disruptions.
First, there has been a big mudslide accident at a mine in Indonesia.
Second, Panama's supreme court closed down a major copper producer, impacting more than 300,000 tons of supply in one go.
And third, the world's biggest producer – Chile's state miner Codelco – just hit a 25-year production low.
That's why Goldman Sachs now says we'll see a deficit in the copper market next year. And it won't take much to push us from deficit... to all-out shortage.
RICK:
And you can't just magically create new supply overnight.
You often need a big, painful shock to really change things. I think that's coming for copper.
It won't just be a gradual squeeze. It'll be like a rocket under the price of copper.
That's why I personally own a small number of really high-quality copper plays. There's so much upside here.
NICK:
Like I said, it's the metal of the century. And we've listed our favorite copper stocks inside the pages of the new report I mentioned, Ride the Metal of the Century to 1,000% Gains.
I'd be surprised if the folks watching at home have ever heard of these stocks.
And then you have the third report we want to send folks immediately, The Next Paladin.
RICK:
Maybe I can lay out the case here, Nick. I think we're already in the early stages of a massive uranium bull market.
It's almost like the setup we saw in the early 2000s, but on steroids.
Back then, nuclear energy supplied about 20% of America's power. But Three Mile Island and Chernobyl pushed the market into a big decline.
Uranium was hated... but essential. Like I said earlier, I knew that either the price of uranium had to go up, or the lights would go out.
The lights didn't go out, thankfully.
And when the market turned, the results were spectacular. The price of uranium rose 1,800%.
And that just lit a fire under the market. We talked about Paladin, which rose 1000-fold.
But there were many, many other winners in the space. Like Cameco (CCJ), which went up 2,500%...
I think now we're seeing a similar setup, but on a much, much wider scale.
And that's because we're seeing a sweeping move back towards nuclear energy across the board.
NICK:
The story certainly feels similar...
In 2011, the Fukushima disaster looked like it had killed off the nuclear industry for good.
And for most of the next decade, no one wanted anything to do with nuclear energy or uranium.
Prices fell. Mines closed. No one had the slightest interest in developing new supply.
RICK:
Which is exactly how truly massive bull markets are created.
NICK:
Exactly. Because the pipeline of new uranium supply basically dried up to nothing.
That means when demand turns around... you get this massive price spike.
RICK:
Well, demand has well and truly turned around.
I think we always knew this would happen. Even after decades of investment in solar and other renewables, nuclear energy still provides 19% of America's energy supply.
That hasn't really changed since the early 2000s.
But what has changed is that lots of very powerful organisations have woken up to the fact that we're going to need massive amounts of energy in the future, and nuclear is going to have to provide it.
NICK:
I'm a long-term uranium bull. And I never thought we'd see companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) or Amazon (AMZN) or Meta Platforms (META) get directly into the nuclear industry.
But that's exactly what's happening today.
Meta just signed a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy (CEG), a big nuclear energy firm.
Microsoft is powering up the Three Mile Island site again.
Alphabet is funding three nuclear sites to power its AI data centers.
And Amazon just signed a huge deal with a big nuclear firm in Pennsylvania.
RICK:
You have to ask yourself... what do these powerful tech firms know that the regular public doesn't?
NICK:
I think I have the answer.
They know their AI systems are going to need monstrous amounts of energy.
And they know that nuclear is the only way to reliably provide it.
That means both massive and long-term demand for uranium.
RICK:
But the supply just isn't there...
NICK:
Nope. In fact, Goldman Sachs says we'll be in deficit of 17,000 TONS by 2030.
Where's the uranium going to come from? Nobody seems to know.
RICK:
There's only one logical outcome from a situation like this.
We're going to see a massive price spike – and likely a big boom for uranium miners that can bring new supply online.
My friend and legendary speculator, Doug Casey, says:
"When the market wants into uranium stocks, it's like trying to force the contents of Hoover Dam through a soda straw."
It's a very small market.
So you want to own those stocks before the real melt-up phase arrives. It'll come. I'm sure of it. You just have to be patient.
NICK:
Again, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these stocks make Washington's buy list.
Peter Thiel – a big Trump ally – is already moving his money. He's building America's first privately owned uranium enrichment facility in Kentucky.
MOLLY:
That has to be something he's discussed with the White House...?
NICK:
I'd be astonished if he hadn't.
And look, we're already seeing stocks in the sector begin to move.
- Cameco, the biggest uranium miner in America, is already up 70% this year... and more than 700% since 2020...
- Uranium Energy is up more than 120% in a year...
- Energy Fuels is up 200% in a year...
RICK:
But the big moves are still ahead of us.
Remember, Paladin went up 100,000%. We haven't seen anything yet.
NICK:
And that's where the stock in The Next Paladin report comes in. It's the one stock we recommend to play this story.
But again... you really don't want to hang around on a story like this.
MOLLY:
Okay, so that covers the first three reports you mentioned.
And then we have all the other bonuses you haven't even revealed yet.
And I should remind everyone that shortly we'll be joined by a special guest from the MarketWise senior editorial team... and we'll be sharing the name and ticker of a great way to play this whole story, free of charge.
Nick, can you lay out the other bonuses for us?
NICK:
Sure.
The next report I want to send everyone is called The Best Gold Stocks in America.
Now, if you're a fan of gold, you'll know we're in a huge bull market today. The gold price has doubled since 2023...
And even with all the AI hype, gold has outperformed the major indexes pretty significantly since the turn of the century.
But what's really exciting is that the gold stocks have now begun to move as a result.
We've seen multiple stocks do far better than the metal itself...
- New Gold (NGD) up almost 255%...
- Kinross Gold (KGC) up 191%...
- Coeur Mining (CDE) up 180%...
- Iamgold (IAG) up 262%
But we know that when gold stocks move... they really move.
For instance, in the 1970s boom, the Barron's Gold Mining index rose 1,247%, returning more than 20 times the S&P 500 Index...
RICK:
Generally, gold miners lag the price of gold in the early part of the cycle... then explode past it in the second half...
But so far in this current cycle, stocks have lagged gold.
That's your opportunity. Because when that lag reverses, gold stocks will fly past gold itself and deliver massive returns.
That's what happened in the last cycle. I think that's exactly what'll happen again here.
We've seen some gold stocks double.
But the big, game-changing returns of 1,000% and more are still to come.
MOLLY:
I wonder... is gold considered as important as rare earths or copper?
RICK:
Absolutely. The White House has specifically designated gold as a critical mineral.
MOLLY:
So we could see gold stocks join Washington's buy file?
RICK:
Yes. And wouldn't that just light a fire under the whole story!
Imagine seeing the news that the government is getting into the gold mining business. It'd make the front page for sure.
NICK:
Now imagine you own the best gold stocks involved before that happens!
It's certainly possible, if you take a position in the stocks we've found for you.
Of course, no one gets it right 100% of the time. But there's no real way to know how soon the explosion will come. It could literally happen at any moment.
That's why we went through the entire market of public stocks and identified the only gold stocks we'd want to own in this kind of gold "melt up" scenario.
And we put them all in a report called The Best Gold Stocks in America.
Again, it's available as a bonus – 100% free – to anyone who joins us today as a Charter Member to Underground Alpha.
MOLLY:
And what about silver? Where does that fit into the story?
RICK:
Glad you asked, Molly.
Now silver is a very, very interesting setup...
It only very recently broke its 1980 high of $50 – and not by much.
To put that into perspective, gold hit $850 an ounce in 1980. It's now over $4,000. It's actually now above its inflation-adjusted price.
Which means just for silver to catch up with gold, it'd have to rise threefold from here.
That's an extremely bullish setup. Silver is like a coiled spring. Once it breaks out to new highs, it could move very, very fast.
NICK:
Right. Now is your chance to have a front-row seat for it. And this is where I'm the luckiest man alive. Because I get to call Rick up and say, "Hey, what's your favorite silver stock right now?"
And even better, he gives me his answer!
Which is exactly what I just did. Rick gave me just one name. And I've written up all our research on it in a report called Silver's Moonshot Moment.
Even though gold may be stealing the headlines, silver is outperforming it. We're convinced silver is only getting warmed up... and could have YEARS of explosive upside ahead.
RICK:
Consider this...
The first silver bull market lasted 10 years, from 1970 to 1980.
The second one was 9 years.
MOLLY:
Wow. So this is a move that could just run and run?
NICK:
Right. There's a saying in investing: "The wider the base, the bigger the move."
And, as we speak, silver is completing a 45-year-long cup and handle formation. Those with an understanding of technical analysis will know that this is very, very bullish.
So we strongly suggest everyone watching get the name of this silver stock immediately.
MOLLY:
Let's quickly recap, because we've covered a lot today...
When you claim your limited-time special Charter discount to Underground Alpha today, you will immediately unlock the names of the resource market's most exciting, highest potential upside stocks.
Let me walk through them quickly, before we welcome our mystery guest – and you reveal the name and ticker of your free buy recommendation.
-
- Your first report is The Chosen Ones:The Stocks Set to Join the White House's Buy List.
- These are the stocks Nick Hodge and Rick Rule believe are next in line for government backing... the stocks that could be poised to surge as billions in federal and private capital flood into the resource sector.

-
- In short, the companies Washington simply can't afford to let fail as China's sword of Damocles hangs over the entire American economy.
- You'll also receive The Next Paladin report, detailing the market's most exciting uranium play. Our guests believe it could deliver extraordinary gains as the world's most powerful people sprint to get as much nuclear energy online as possible.
- Plus, you'll unlock yet another elite-level research report, Ride the Metal of the Century to 1,000% Gains.

-
- This one focuses on copper... the lifeblood of AI, EVs, defense technology, and so much more. Inside its pages are the names of the copper plays Nick and Rick believe could multiply as copper's dangerous supply crunch skyrockets demand.
- Then there is The Best Gold Stocks in America report...
- Featuring companies our experts believe could thrive as monetary and political uncertainty drive investors back into hard assets.
- We're living through a gold rush right now. And, as gold's price breaks through one new all-time high after the next, our guests say it's gold stocks' time to shine.
- And finally, a fifth report: Silver's Moonshot Moment.

- Silver usually lags gold... until it suddenly takes off. And with silver now outperforming gold, our guests see fireworks ahead for silver stocks.
- One stock in particular, whose name and ticker they've included here.

NICK:
Actually, Molly... before we welcome our mystery guest – or share the free stock recommendation – I want to do something special for everyone who's watching at home.
Look, this isn't just any ordinary market story. It's historic, it's unprecedented. This is a moment people will look back on in years to come with either intense relief or intense regret.
Which is why I want to do everything in my power to get as many people as possible in the door.

MOLLY:
THREE more bonuses? OK, now you've really got my attention...
NICK:
These limited-time bonuses are something truly special... and only possible because Rick here has been so gracious.
First, you're going to get exclusive access to a recording of Rick's recent keynote address at the 2025 Stansberry Research Conference & Alliance Meeting.
MOLLY:
This is one of the most prestigious financial events in America, Nick.
NICK:
That's right.
And Rick spoke at the most exclusive day of the event, for Alliance members only. It costs $33,000 to become a member of the Alliance. So, it costs thousands to get in the door and hear him speak – but if you act now, you can access Rick's full presentation for FREE as part of your Underground Alpha Charter Membership.
It's a masterclass in wealth creation and preservation from one of the most successful resource investors alive.
Plus, Rick even gives away an additional bonus stock recommendation that you can act on immediately.
MOLLY:
That's an incredible bonus. And you said there's more?
NICK:
There is. Special Bonus No. 2 lets you see behind the curtain of the resource investing world...
It's an exclusive recording from Rick's own Natural Resource Symposium, the world's leading resource conference.
These are types of conversations you'd never normally get to see or experience.
It's a recording of Rick hosting a panel of investing legends in the resource sector.
So you'll get to hear what it's really like to ride the highs and lows of the resource markets – directly from those who have lived it and survived to tell the tale.
It's a must-watch, eye-opening educational bonus for those who are serious about better understanding – and profiting – in this space.
RICK:
If I may be so bold... this is invariably attendees' favorite part of my annual conference.
I had four living legends of the industry gather behind closed doors to swap stories, compare war wounds... beat their chest, as it were, and discuss how they've made – and kept – fortunes through numerous different cycles.
These are lifelong friends, peers, and rivals – sharing hard-won lessons from half a century in the trenches...
Including what they learned... the mistakes they made... and how those mistakes made them better investors.
If you want to understand what separates a good investor from a great one, this is it.
MOLLY:
How exciting. I can't believe people get to see that. And you mentioned a third bonus?
NICK:
Yes – and this one might be my favorite of all.
It's a special behind-the-scenes recording of Rick and me.
Something we're calling: Inside the Vault.
In this candid conversation, Rick and I open up completely – no script, no teleprompter, just two investors talking shop at a truly pivotal time in the market.
We go deeper into what we really think is coming next for the resource sector... what we're personally buying... and what keeps us up at night. It's raw, unfiltered, and unlike anything we've released before.
MOLLY:
Amazing. I'd imagine that's worth the cost of entry alone!

Now, we still have more to get through – and I know everyone at home is eager to learn the name of Nick and Rick's free BUY recommendation, too.
More on that in a moment.
But first, I'm actually getting word that our special guest is ready to join us.
I'm thrilled to announce that dialing in from his home in the foothills of southern Oregon is Stansberry Research's longest-serving analyst...
Dan Ferris.
For those who don't know, Dan famously predicted the 2008 financial crisis...
And even called for readers to short Lehman Brothers... five months before it collapsed dramatically. Obviously, Lehman became one of the decade's biggest financial stories.
Flash forward to today, and Dan is convinced THIS is the one story everyone needs to focus on.
He is one of the leading voices within Stansberry Research when it comes to resource stocks, too... and heads a highly successful research service focusing on this corner of the market.
In fact, back in 2023, Dan and Rick shared the stage to predict the exact scenario that's playing out today... so, this reunion is long overdue.
Please join me in welcoming Dan Ferris. Dan, can you hear us?
DAN:
I sure can.
It's great to join you all. I'm happy we could make this work.
Hello to Nick and to my old friend, Rick Rule!
NICK:
Thanks for joining us, Dan!
I know you're a big fan of resource stocks, and have pointed your readers to some big recent winners across this market... from copper to uranium to gold...
So, I figured folks in our audience would be excited to hear from you.
DAN:
You're exactly right. Every time you blink, it seems another one of these companies has jumped hundreds of percent overnight.
As a guy who's used to looking at the market and wondering:"How can I be the only one seeing this?" I must say that this one is just so darn obvious!
And for the folks watching at home:
This story is so seismic, I believe it will forever justify your decision to follow independent financial research.
MOLLY:
Dan, you've gone on record to say this isn't just a bull market in resource stocks, it's a hypercycle.
DAN:
Correct. Look... I'm a dyed-in-the-wool contrarian, like the two men sharing the stage with you. A total sceptic.
I call B.S. on probably 99% of the investment opportunities that come across my desk... Lehman Brothers being the famous example, of course. I could tell America's fourth-largest bank was a fraud, and it turned out I was right.
My point is this...
For a skeptic like me to put his head above the parapet and actually pound the table about this opportunity... and say that anyone who acts today has a realistic chance to potentially make 5 to 10 times their money as this all plays out...
Well, that should tell you all you need to hear.
But for all that to happen, you need to be in the right stocks – and you need to be in them RIGHT NOW.
NICK:
Amen. And to that point, Dan...
Both of our teams were in communication in the run-up to today's big event, as you know. And we soon realized we were both following the exact same gold stock. A company based in Denver, Colorado. And a pretty unique company at that...
DAN:
Yep, that's right. It's a mining company with a twist. I told my readers that it lets you get out of mining and into "check collecting" instead.
MOLLY:
Could you expand a little on what you mean by that?
DAN:
Sure. What I mean is that, while this company is technically in the mining business... it's a royalty and streaming company.
NICK:
To clarify...
A gold royalty company gives funding to mine developers in exchange for the right to receive a portion of the future haul – which is the "royalty" part... or purchase some of the mined gold at a more attractive fixed price – which is the "stream" part.
Put simply: this company sidesteps the expenses and enormous capital requirements of the mining business. It doesn't have those day-to-day headaches, the armies of employees, and so forth.
DAN:
Exactly. Owning royalty companies is one of the all-time greatest ways to make money in this space, by the way. And this company owns interests in several of the world's most attractive mines.
RICK:
Royalty companies are simply better businesses. They offer tremendous leverage to rising metals prices with typically much lower risk than individual mining stocks.
And if they own interests in the best mines – which this company does – well, they are gifts that keep on giving.
DAN:
Right. This company pulled in record revenue of $719 million last year, with a $530 million operating cash flow... and it did it with just 30 employees!
This is not your average company, folks. It's not an opportunity you're going to hear about reading the newspaper or watching CNBC. Folks depending on these media outlets always end up a day late and a dollar short, as you all are keenly aware.
And since you're watching this, you can be different. In fact, that's why I was so happy to appear today...
Given the situation that's playing out right now in the resource space – like right this minute, as I speak to you – we are going to see a wave of well-positioned folks make an absolute killing.
And I hope you're one of them.
MOLLY:
Now, Dan, we're conscious of your time. But before we let you go, I think it's time for you all to reveal the name and ticker of the free stock recommendation.
NICK:
Of course, I'll do the honors...
Our free stock pick is Royal Gold (RGLD).
It's a great stock in a good position right now as gold hovers around all-time highs. And we believe it's still got a lot of runway ahead of it.
It's a great, lower-risk way to play this story.
That said, I see much, much higher potential upside in the stock names we put inside our reports for Underground Alpha Charter Members.
DAN:
Right. I'm a big fan of Royal Gold.
But here's what I want everyone watching at home to pay very close attention to...
What's happening right now is about as big as an investing story gets.
I was preparing for this situation as early as 2023. And my own readers have already had the chance to get in position, I can assure you. I don't want anyone watching at home to get left behind by this.
Which is why I strongly encourage you to give Underground Alpha a try.
This is the exact kind of research you need to have regular access to as this hypercycle reaches a fever pitch... thanks to the White House changing tack completely and starting to act like a hedge fund.
NICK:
Thank you, Dan. I appreciate your kind words.
DAN:
Oh, and just one more thing... to show my endorsement here is not some empty talk, I'd like to share one of my own very best recommendations from my own commodity-focused Hypercycle Portfolio with the folks who join you today through this Charter offer.
This is based on my analysis, but Nick and Rick have run it through their own screening to back it up.
So, consider this an extra bonus opportunity to help you get started right away.
I've put everything you need to know into a report called The No. 1 Commodity Supercycle Stock to Buy Today.
It's available to anyone who signs up today, at no extra cost.
It's my gift for trying Nick's work out.
MOLLY:
Thank you again, Dan. We won't take up any more of your time!
RICK:
Great to see you, Dan, as always. We will be in touch.
DAN:
It's my pleasure. Take care, everyone. And congratulations to all of your new Charter Members!
MOLLY:
We're just about out of time.
Nick, Rick – this has been extraordinary. Thank you both for sharing this with us today.
For everyone watching – if you want full access to all of Nick and Rick's official Underground Alpha recommendations...
Including every ticker, buy-up-to price, and ongoing updates as this government-led stock surge plays out...
Now is your moment to become a Charter Member of Underground Alpha using the button below.
NICK:
Thanks, Molly. And for those watching...
Look – what we've covered today is just the surface. You are standing at the door of what could be the most profitable period of the next decade – as government money floods into the stock market and into the critical assets we've listed in your reports.
I would love to bring you along with me for the exciting next phase.
RICK:
That's right. As I've said, this has been inevitable for quite some time, but now it may be imminent. This is your opportunity to own the companies being subsidized by the government.
And I truly hope you join Nick today... and get to share these stories for years to come.
Just please keep in mind – all investing carries risk. Past performance is no guarantee for future results, so you should never invest more than you would be comfortable losing.
MOLLY:
Nick, any closing thoughts?
NICK:
This truly is a one-time opportunity. The potential upside here is unlike anything I've seen in my career.
Frankly, if even ONE of these plays performs as we expect, it could more than pay for your entire Charter Membership many times over.
But Rick and I have told you everything we can tell you. Now it's your move.
If Underground Alpha is not for you, that's no problem. But from here, we will be moving ahead to the next phase with those who are excited to be a part of it.
You've done the hardest part by making it this far. And now, I hope you don't quit digging a few inches from gold.
This is a moment that's been decades in the making – but really, it's just the beginning of what's ahead.
MOLLY:
Well said. Rick, Nick – thank you both again.
And to everyone watching – this is it.
Click the button now, or call 1-844-334-4700 before our phone lines close for the day.
To all of our new Charter Members – welcome!
I hope you're all as excited for the road ahead as we are.
I'm Molly Hendrickson. Take care – and we'll see you inside.
