FORMER CIA CONSULTANT ISSUES RARE URGENT BUY RECOMMENDATION

The #1 Gold Pick

In the Next Decade, It Could Help Unlock Almost

Half a Trillion Dollars Annually

Jim Rickards

Hi, my name is Jim Rickards.

I’m a former CIA and Pentagon consultant, lawyer, and economist.

You might recognize me from my appearances on Fox, CNBC, and Bloomberg.

Or you might be familiar with the predictions I’ve made in my New York Times Bestselling books…

Jim Rickards' books

But most people don’t know I also helped the Nixon administration craft the Petrodollar Accord, which helped establish the US dollar as the world reserve currency…

I assisted President Ronald Reagan in negotiating the end of the Iranian Hostage crisis...

And I’ve been inside the West Wing of the White House to give advice to members of President Trump’s cabinet…

I predicted the Great Recession of 2008…

Trump’s 2016 victory…

And the COVID Crisis of 2020.

But what I’m about to reveal in the next few minutes might end up being the biggest prediction of my career.

If gold performs the way I think it will in the next few years, investors could make as much as 10 times their money.

And today, I'll show you MY favorite way to profit...

But -- as you’ll see…

My favorite way to play the yellow metal is not at all what you might think.

I've found a company in the gold sector that has never actually mined a single ounce of gold…

It doesn't have any royalty contracts…

And it has no gold bullion or coins on its balance sheet.

In fact, most wouldn't consider it a gold company at all.

But, as I'll show you…

This firm’s cutting-edge technology is set to help unlock $390 billion annually, which could lead to substantial gains for early investors.

And today, the timing couldn’t be better.

Over the past 2 years, gold is crushing the S&P 500…

chart:

The Dow Jones…

And high yield dividend stocks…

If you think gold has run too high, for too long, I have news for you:

It’s just getting started.

The price of a single ounce of gold could reach higher than $5,000… $10,000… even $20,000 in this bull market.

I’ll show you the math in a few minutes…

Now, I don’t blame you if you’re skeptical of those numbers…

You might even call me crazy.

But similar moves have happened before throughout history.

The first occurred from 1971 to 1980, when gold handed investors more than 2,300%.

chart:

In 1980, gold entered a bear market while the Federal Reserve aggressively fought inflation.

It lasted until 1999…

Then, the second gold bull market unfolded in 1999 through 2011.

And again, gold turned every $1,000 invested into more than $7,000…

chart:

After The Great Recession, the economy rebounded and interest rates rose, making gold less attractive.

But the bear market only lasted until 2015…

That’s when I went on TV and warned investors to buy gold before the 3rd bull market started.

TODO

And sure enough…

Gold bottomed out a few months later, then rose 170% ever since…

After calling the new gold bull market, I’m stepping forward today to say:

Gold’s most explosive gains could still be ahead.

My sources are telling me that President Trump and his advisors support the biggest change for gold in decades: 

The new Administration is considering bringing back the gold standard, which was dropped in the 1970s. 

According to my calculations, if the US returns to the gold standard, one ounce of gold is almost guaranteed to soar by more than 1,000% from today’s price.

It’s a prediction I first made in mid-2024, as gold really heated up…

Jim predicting gold will rise

And today, we have a government that supports it. 

Trump calls the idea “wonderful.”

His long-time advisor, Steve Bannon, believes this second term is when Trump could diminish the power of the Federal Reserve, and back every dollar with real, hold-in-your hand bullion.

And Project 2025, the conservative blueprint written by Russell Vought, a member of Trump’s transition team, devoted an entire chapter to the Federal Reserve…

He proposed eliminating the Fed and bringing back the gold standard.

Vought, by the way, was just confirmed to lead the White House budget office.

Most people don’t realize what’s happening.

The Republican Party has promised a return to the gold standard in every election since 2012…

So far, it hasn’t happened.

But with Trump’s mandate from the American people, he finally has the political power to make massive changes.

In his inauguration speech, he declared a new golden age for America…

Was it just a metaphor? That’s what most people think.

When you consider what he’s already accomplished…

Fortifying our borders by deploying troops and the Coast Guard…

Opening up offshore drilling and energy exploration…

Restoring merit-based hiring for government employees…

Securing $500 billion in private sector investment for the largest AI infrastructure project in history…

And reopening dormant assembly plants in middle America.

It’s clear our country is back on track.

But what’s coming next will catch most people completely off guard.

As America could return to some kind of gold standard.

headline: Trump picks another Fed member who believes in the gold standard. This one really means it. - CNN Business

Judy Shelton, Trump’s 1st term economic advisor, is a major advocate of making this move.

She's proposing it happens on the nation’s 250th birthday…

On July 4th, 2026.  

That's why there’s no time to waste…

There is now a bill in Congress to reestablish the gold standard.

But even if this bill doesn’t pass Congress…

History shows Trump could single-handedly kickstart the process.

In 1933, FDR issued an executive order, requiring Americans to turn in their gold…

FDR executive order

Then Nixon signed an executive order to sever the dollar’s link to gold internationally…

All it takes is a single signature from Trump to undo the mistakes of our past and begin the return of gold-backed dollar.

Rumors of this impending move are already circulating online…

online rumors of Trump returning US dollar to gold standard

And soon, what began as whispers and rumors could become the financial shot heard ‘round the world…

Now - what does this all mean for the price of gold?

This question is up for debate.

Based on the current M2 money supply and the gold inside Treasury Department vaults…

If we return to a full, 100% gold standard, the price for one ounce of gold would have to soar to nearly $69,000.

That’s about a 2,250% increase from today’s price.

But what if the Trump Administration doesn’t adopt a full gold standard?

What if they decide to return to what our country had from 1913 to 1946, when the legal requirement for the Federal Reserve was to hold a minimum of 40% of the total money supply in gold?

If this happens, here’s what I believe the impact on gold will be …

Today, the total money supply, including cash and savings accounts, is worth about $17.9 trillion.

The World Gold Council says the U.S. has 8,133 tonnes of gold reserves.

When you divide $17.9 trillion by 8,133 tonnes… it’s easy to see the price of one ounce of gold would shoot up to $27,533.

And even if it doesn’t soar to $27,000… I’d be shocked if it didn’t double or triple in the near term.

Most investors might be thinking, “I missed it.”

After all, gold just hit a new all-time high, but if you remain on the sidelines now? You could be kicking yourself in the months to come.

How do I know?

Well, it’s simple…

Do you think the government is likely to decrease the money supply anytime soon?

I can just about guarantee you the answer is absolutely not.

After all, our money supply increased 364% since the beginning of the pandemic.

And they’ve shown no signs of stopping anytime soon.

In other words…

The price of gold measured in dollars MUST go up. And $27,000 could happen sooner than you think.

I’m so confident, I published this prediction on ZeroHedge, for everyone to see.

article: $27,000 gold

If you think $27,000 gold is outlandish…

Just consider that roughly 12 years ago, the “experts” were saying gold would never break past $1,400.

headline: 7 reasons the gold price may not see $1,400 again - Mining.com

Since then, it’s more than doubled, and demand for precious metals is only increasing.

In January, London vaults experienced its largest outflow of gold in history…

There is now a gold shortage in the UK.

headline: UK faces gold shortage as London traders divert bullion to New York amid Trump's tariffs - SmallCaps

Gold demand hit its highest level on record in 2024… in large part due to central banks.

chart: Total Gold Demand Reached Highest Q2 On Record

Central banks bought twice as much gold in 2023 as they did just 2 years prior.

And in 2024, central bank gold purchases hit a record high.

According to The World Gold Council, there is “no let-up in the pace of central bank gold buying.”

In other words…

The world’s top bankers are abandoning ship.

All at once, they’ve recognized that their dollars, euros and yen aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Not for much longer, anyway.

So they’re loading up on gold, creating a supply and demand imbalance that’s pushing gold even higher…

But the Trump Administration isn’t just answering their gold buying spree with a potential gold standard return…

There is speculation the U.S. Treasury is now considering monetizing America’s gold reserves.

The government’s gold holdings are currently on the books at 1970’s prices, or $42 an ounce.

Now think about this for a second.

Let’s say you bought a home in the early 1970s for $30,000.

But today, your neighbors’ homes have sold for $900,000… $1 million or more.

Meanwhile, the government decreed that your house is still only valued at its 1970s price of $30,000.

What would happen if you could suddenly value your house at its true worth?

It goes without saying that the value of your house would skyrocket!

Well, that’s precisely what could happen in the gold market.

The government has valued its own gold at a book value of $42.22 per ounce since 1974…

But, as they revalue the gold on its books…

The price of gold is about to explode higher.

Today, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants to “monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people.”

And he said this change will occur within the next 12 months.

What does all this mean for you?

If the government simply values its gold at today’s price, the value of its holdings would soar from $11 billion to nearly $765 billion.

This money can be used to pay down our national debt and for much needed infrastructure projects.

And for in-the-know investors — it could add up to a massive windfall.

That's why, today my advice is simple…

Don’t wait to position yourself to benefit from these historic government decisions.

Make your move now, before gold potentially blasts to new record highs in the months ahead.

Will it get to $27,000?

Nobody can say for sure.

But even if it only does half as well…

Even if it only soars to – say -- $12,000 per ounce…

You could do quite well.

But if you buy into my #1 gold play for 2025, I’m convinced you’ll do much better.

It’s not a gold miner or a royalty company…

In fact, I’d wager none of the employees at this company look like they’ve ever spent a full day working at a mine.

Instead, they’ve developed a technology... 

A technology that, over the next decade, could unleash nearly half a billion dollars in efficiency gains annually according to McKinsey.

In short, the mining firms that control this technology will own the future of gold mining, adding billions to their bottom line just by deploying it.

The technology I’m referring to is something you’ve probably heard of before…

Google’s CEO said it will be more transformative to humanity than electricity or fire. In fact, it’s become the biggest trend in tech circles since the dot-com boom…

I’m talking about artificial intelligence, or AI.

Already, for every $1 a company has invested in it, it’s produced $3.50 in return, and we’re still only in the ‘first inning’ of its roll-out.

Now, I’m not an early tech adopter or a Silicon Valley cheerleader.

In fact, I recently published a book called “MoneyGPT,” which reveals how some forms of AI will endanger global economic markets and security.

Readers have called it the “untold side of AI” and an “eye opener.”

Overall, I'm skeptical about AI.

But just like the internet, personal computers, and every technology that came before…

Every new innovation comes with both risks and major opportunity.

Today, AI as a whole represents a $10 trillion opportunity available for early investors by 2035.

Yet, very few people know what’s coming.

It appears only those working at the world's largest mining companies are aware.

Why?

Because – for obvious reasons, it’s a closely-guarded secret…

AI could soon be more effective at finding gold than any technology or person who's come before it.

It’s why Jeff Bezos… Bill Gates …Sam Altman… and other billionaires are betting big on AI disrupting the mining industry.

Once I show you how mining with AI works, it will be no surprise to you why the world’s richest men see a big payday.

Just look at American mining company, Freeport McMoran.

Freeport owns a large copper mine, called the Bagdad Mine, 100 miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona.

This mine produces 9 million pounds of copper annually, but Freeport leveraged AI to boost it even higher.

They hired McKinsey, the world’s largest management consulting firm, to build an AI to improve every step of their operations.

Freeport began by installing sensors on all the company’s trucks, shovels, and stationary machines, to capture second-by-second performance readings.

Then, Freeport used all the data to train an AI to find ways to increase output at a lower cost.

And the results are nothing short of stunning…

Over the next five years, Freeport is projected to unlock additional copper production equivalent to an entire new mine.

Keep in mind: the cost for Freeport to build a new mine would be $2 billion and it would take ten years…

But today, Freeport is using AI to add an entire mine’s worth of higher production, in half the time…

That’s the power of AI in mining.

The President of Freeport’s Mining Services said: “It's almost like having a brand-new plant without having to go through the permitting process.”

Freeport’s new AI will increase production across all their mines by 200 million pounds.

At today’s price per pound, that’s an additional $800 million in revenue for the company.

Once their new strategy proved successful, Freeport expanded it to each of its ten mines, spanning North America, South America, and Indonesia.

AI is a major reason why shares of Freeport have soared to a peak of more than 1,000% in 4 years.

chart: Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) soared 1,000%

Now, let’s take a look at Barrick Gold, the world's largest pure gold mining company.

According to company insiders, Barrick’s gold and copper mine in Pakistan is one of the world’s largest untapped mines.

The company launched satellites in the sky along with smart sensors on the ground to collect as much data as it could…

Then, the firm’s engineers fed all the data into an AI, which created a detailed 3D map of what’s underground.

underground scan showing gold

The results speak for themselves.

AI helps identify the most likely locations of mineral deposits much faster than humans can, resulting in reduced exploration costs.

But that’s not all…

Barrick’s AI partner claims it now has the ability to discover gold and copper at a pace up to 100 times faster than traditional methods.

AI is even helping Barrick predict equipment defects, so any machinery failure can be fixed before there’s costly downtime.

Shares have soared as high as 30% within 3 months of announcing its new AI.

chart: Barrick Gold Corporation (GOLD) rose 30% in 3 months

Newcrest Mining has adopted AI and IoT solutions for gold and copper production, and it started returning its investment in just 3 months.

MetInvest, a private company mining iron ore and coal, expects to see $100 million in savings.

Today, AI is as valuable as the physical assets that make mining possible.

The miners who use AI are on track to add nearly $400 billion to their balance sheets…

Not one time… But $400 billion, every single year.

And the lion’s share will go to companies that move on it first.

That’s more money than the economies of ten countries around the world.

The Head of MIT’s Computational Biology Group says AI will “surpass the best geologists.”

It’s no surprise spending on mining AI has nearly tripled from 2019 to 2024…

chart: Spending on Mining AI has nearly tripled

And according to industry insiders, it’s expected to grow 675% over the coming years.

chart: Mining AI Market Growth expected to grow 675%

When a new technology makes companies billions in additional profit, it becomes priceless.

Just ask Newmont Corporation, which reported a 15% increase in gold productivity at its Nevada mines, after adopting AI.

Or Anglo America, which saw a 20% reduction in equipment failures.

Some mining companies have reported a staggering 20% increase in productivity.

But there’s one piece of AI technology that stands out above all the rest in the gold mining industry. 

This technology is in a league of its own... 

And in a moment, I’ll show you how to get the name and full analysis of the company behind this technology, so stick around. 

But first, listen carefully – because this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a tech breakthrough transform an entire industry, unlocking billions in profits.

It’s happened time after time throughout history.

Oil is a perfect example.

Throughout the early part of this century “peak oil” was a major topic in the financial headlines.

But when oil production slowed, America innovated.

We created hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” which involves pumping high-pressure water and sand into the ground to create cracks in rock, allowing oil to flow more easily.

American oil production hit a low of 5 million barrels per day in 2008…

But now, with fracking, U.S. oil production is booming…

We’re now the biggest oil producer in the world, and we’re generating more oil than ever while using fewer rigs.

It’s all thanks to fracking, but here’s the big lesson.

The oil companies who were first to embrace fracking won the day.

I’m talking about Mitchell Energy, which pioneered fracking in the Barnett Shale of Texas.

It laid the groundwork with their technology in the late 90s, then in 2001, Devon Energy made a shrewd investment decision…

They bought the entire company.

Devon Energy soared to a peak 444% as fracking became the biggest innovation for oil and gas inside a decade.

chart: Devon Energy Corp (DVN) soared 444%

Haliburton was the first company to use fracking technology for commercial purposes.

chart: Haliburton Company (HAL) rose 1,240%

Its stock rose as high as 1,240% in a decade as other oil and gas producers tried to catch up.

And EOG Resources was an early adopter of fracking, using this new innovation for both natural gas and oil…

EOG skyrocketed up to 1,857% in a decade.

chart: EOG Resources, INC. (EOG) skyrocketed 1,857%

Fracking extracts oil and gas from fields we didn’t even know existed…

And we’re about to witness the same effect play out with AI and gold.

Why am I so confident?

Because AI is already having the same impact on other industries.

Today, pharmaceutical companies spend an average of 12 years to create a single new treatment.

But researchers are projecting AI may be able to cut the time to develop new drugs nearly in half which will save countless lives.

That’s a 40 to 50% savings in both wait time and costs.

MIT Technology Review said: “AI is dreaming up drugs that no one has ever seen.”

In one instance, a biotech company called Exscientia used AI for developing 136 new compounds for its cancer drug in a single year.

Its stock shot up as much as 345% in less than 2 years.

chart: Exscientia (EXAI) shot up 345%

Another biotech company, Absci, is using AI to fight cancer and other diseases.

It produces high-quality drug candidates in as little as six weeks.

Absci’s stock has soared as high as 437% in 6 months.

chart: Absci Corp (ABSI) climbed 437%

The efficiencies created by AI have sent these stocks to new highs.

Today, computer chips are the world’s most traded product, after oil and motor vehicle parts.

It’s a market worth nearly $600 billion…

Google has now developed an AI that designs new chips in 6 hours that would normally take a human months of work.

This isn’t something that may or may not happen…

Google’s AI has already designed chips the company is using today.

Since its AI-designed chips hit the headlines…

Shares have grown 63% in 2 and a half years.

chart: Alphabet Inc (GOOG) up 63%

Like Google, Nvidia is using its own AI to produce chips faster.

A computer chip typically takes about 1,000 people to build, but Nvidia’s AI is designed to cut their training time down significantly.

The company trained its AI on 12 billion data points from Nvidia’s 30-year history of designing chips…

It learned all of the code, design documents, bug reports, and more…

And it’s now paying off for Nvidia.

Shares were up as high as 200% over the past year alone.

chart: NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) 200% growth

Computer chips and cancer drugs are just the start…

One of the first industries to recognize the profit potential of AI was Wall Street.

75% of the largest institutional asset managers are clients of a financial tech company called Virtu Financial.

Virtu uses AI and mountains of data to help their clients make predictions in the stock market.

They’re able to see metrics you can’t find on Yahoo Finance, giving sophisticated insights the average investor never has access to.

Wall Street is using this technology to get another leg up, helping them grow even richer…

Meanwhile, Virtu’s stock went up as much as 139% in less than a year.

chart: Virtu Financial Inc. (VIRT) 139% gain

AI is disrupting the $10 trillion drug industry… the $600 billion computer chip industry… and the $55 trillion stock market…

Now, it has gold in its crosshairs, and my # 1 gold company is at the center of it.

Andreesen Horowitz, the Venture Capital fund which backed Airbnb, Instagram, Coinbase, and OpenAI, said there is “no obvious competitor in the space.”

The firm’s list of investors reads like a “who’s who” of Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

Names like:

Bill Gates…

Jeff Bezos…

Sam Altman…

Richard Branson…

Ray Dalio…

Michael Bloomberg…

Alibaba’s Jack Ma…

Linkedin’s Reid Hoffman…

The list goes on and on, but I think you get the point.

These billionaires know how to spot a “moon shot” investment when they see one. That’s how they got rich in the first place.

The World Economic Forum named my #1 gold company one of the 100 pioneers in technology today, the same recognition Google received.

What this gold company is working on is so critical, the Federal Government is supporting a $2.3 billion infrastructure upgrade to facilitate it.

And this growth is already paying dividends…

The company has grown 860,000% in size over the past 5 years and we’re still only in the “first inning.”

The New York Times reported their first big find could eventually be a “huge payout for investors.”

headline: potentially huge payout for investors - New York Times

Right now, they are focused on critical metals but I expect they will soon expand into gold as well.

When you see the full story, it’s not difficult to understand why….

AI is transforming the mining industry, and it’s happening virtually overnight.

For a century, the industry has relied on sampling soil and sediment to discover new mines.

The traditional way of doing things worked for years, but not anymore.

chart: Gold Producton Is Down Everywhere

Gold production is down in practically every region in the world over the past 5 years.

The World Gold Council reported: “The industry is struggling to report sustained growth in production.”

headline: World Gold Council: It's getting harder to mine gold - Yahoo Finance

For decades, miners prospected the surface of the Earth to hit paydirt, but all the “low hanging fruit” is gone. And these surface minerals are never returning…

The Wall Street Journal warned: “The industry needs to adopt new methods.”

headline: ...most deposits close to the Earth's surface have already been discovered and the industry needs to adopt new methods, such as AI, to find commodities that are hidden deeper underground. - The Wall Street Journal

The future of mining depends on the ability to discover new deposits at depth, miles underneath the ground. But traditional methods aren’t effective…

That’s why so many billionaires – from Jeff Bezos to Richard Branson -- are backing my number one gold company.

Its technology is totally proprietary, thanks to its AI backed by 10 patents.

This AI is like “Google Maps for the Earth’s crust.”

When exploring a new territory, the company sends modified Cessna planes into the sky to get radar and magnetic readings…

It uncovers 100-year-old maps from explorers…

Captures high resolution satellite imagery…

And acquires data from government sources.

The company even drops sensors into the ground for density readings of the underground world.

It combines tens of millions of documents to create a 3D visualization of a specific territory.

Then, its AI sifts through all this information to find geological patterns, to make predictions on where a deposit is most likely to be hidden.

It’s like a “cheat code” for geologists to know where to dig.

And the results speak for themselves…

Humans have been mining in Zambia, a country in Southern Africa, for centuries.

Just about all of the easy surface minerals have been taken.

But when my #1 gold company visited Zambia with its new AI, it discovered a deposit hidden one mile underground, which no one even knew existed…

After the AI pinpointed where to dig, the company discovered the largest and highest-grade copper deposit in the world.

The average copper mine today has an ore grade of 0.6%, while this Zambia mine has a grade of more than 5%.

chart: Copper Ore Grade

By 2030, It is expected to produce 300,000 tons of copper every year…

Equivalent to billions of dollars’ worth annually.

But the company says the value of the mine could grow even higher because it’s still mapping the full extent of its highest-grade ore.

Billions of dollars a year is only the tip of the iceberg since this is just a single mine.

My #1 gold company is now rolling out its AI to 60 exploration projects in North America, Africa, and Australia…

We could be talking tens of billions, even hundreds of billions in new revenue.

When this AI was deployed in Quebec recently, it discovered nickel sulfide in 8 out of the 10 holes it recommended drilling in.

Andreesen Horowitz viewed the results and concluded the AI “algorithms are working.”

The miners who have access to this new technology will own the future, but there is one problem.

Today, my #1 gold company is a private business, and executives say it may not go public until 3 to 5 years from now.

This is preventing average Americans from taking advantage of its rapid growth.

If you’re not a well-connected billionaire, you can’t buy a stake for yourself.

Fortunately, I’ve found a “backdoor” way for you to get in before it’s officially listed on the NYSE.

I’ve discovered a publicly-traded gold miner that owns private shares of my number one gold company, setting up a rare opportunity.

In a way, you could call it a ‘pre-IPO’ exposure in my favorite firm at the intersection of AI and mining.

As this private company rolls out its AI to dozens of new mines, potentially generating billions in untapped revenue, this one stock is set to benefit from all of it.

And here’s the best part…

This stock isn’t just a silent partner, it’s also leveraging my #1 gold company’s AI for some of its own mines.

That’s TWO ways to profit from this breakthrough technology…

The first is the growth of its private business, which has already grown an incredible 860,000% since 2019…

The second benefit is this mining company is one of the select few with access to this groundbreaking AI.

While other miners are stuck using archaic techniques, sampling soil and drilling random locations for gold, this stock has the “cheat code.”

It’s running its AI to find new deposits, miles underground, which other firms have no chance of discovering.

Of course like any investment, there’s no guarantees. I always say you should never invest more than you can afford to lose.

But investing today will give you exposure to one of the fastest growing private businesses. A business only billionaires have gained exposure to, until now.

A business which will dominate the mining industry for decades, not just gold, but silver, copper, battery metals, and more.

I want to send you its name and full analysis of both the private business developing this AI and the “backdoor” gold stock that owns part of it.

It’s why I just published my newest report: The Billionaire ‘Backdoor’ AI Mining Stock.

report: THe Billionaire 'Backdoor' AI Mining Stock

Spending on AI in mining is set to grow 675% in the coming years…

And what I reveal in this new report is the best stock you can buy in your brokerage account to potentially benefit as this cash floods in.

Nearly every global mining company wants its AI and you can get exposure today while its still a private company.

Gold bullion could have 1,000% upside from today’s price if we return to the gold standard…

And could easily remain above $3,000 for the foreseeable future if not.

But my “backdoor” way into the world’s greatest AI mining company has even higher upside…

And yet, I’d bet 99% of investors have no idea this “backdoor” stock even exists.

But the moment you get your hands on my special report, you’ll have everything you need to be one of the few who do.

You can’t buy it on Amazon or anywhere else, but I’ll show you how to get a FREE copy of my new report when you subscribe in just a few minutes.

Before I show you how…

There’s another opportunity that deserves to be on your radar…

Similar stocks have seen peak gains that could’ve turned a $1,000 starting stake into as much as $163,700 in 18 months.

During President Trump’s first term, he added $2 trillion to the defense budget…

He modernized our nuclear forces and missile defenses…

And he aided our allies by authorizing military equipment sales.

But now, in his second term, Trump’s efforts to modernize our military will go a step further.

The next war will be fought in cyberspace as much as the battlefield, and today, no weapon is as powerful as artificial intelligence.

As an individual investor, it’s setting up a huge new opportunity.

Defense companies are embedded in the construction and maintenance of classified U.S. defense systems.

Not only are Congress and President Trump unlikely to cut these programs…

But there’s a high probability defense spending will increase as we race to develop stronger AI than our enemies.

We don’t really have a choice.

America modernizes in the age of AI warfare or gets left behind.

And I don’t see President Trump waving the white flag, he’s not going to want to lose this race.

Over the next year, I foresee streams of cash will flow from the Defense Department into defense companies, and ultimately, the pockets of shareholders.

I’m going to show you everything you need to have the best chance to benefit.

My #1 stock for capitalizing on America’s new Defense AI has soared more than 1,000% over the past decade at its peak.

chart: Jim's #1 Defense AI Stock

Of course, gains like this are rare. But as you’ll see, I believe its best days of delivering capital gains to shareholders are still in front of it.

Why?

Because two-thirds of its employees have security clearances.

When the Department of Defense awards a contract, it chooses defense partners it trusts, and few have more trust than this company.

It generates $10 billion in revenue every year…

And yet, its costs are extremely low.

Its business is based on hiring the smartest people; it doesn’t require new factories, stores, or mines to grow its bottom line.

This is what I call a wealth-compounding business. Every year, its making shareholders richer.

Now, AI is about to unleash an entire new revenue stream.

Last year, the government awarded this defense stock with a $431 million contract to develop a new AI.

This was after it was awarded another contract for AI-related work in August, from the U.S. Army, worth $506 million.

This is just the tip of the iceberg…

As the government ramps up spending on AI, this defense stock is perfectly positioned to benefit the most.

Based on fundamental analysis, my #1 AI Defense stock has 185% upside from today’s price by 2030.

And that’s over the next five years…

Over the next decade, the gains could grow much higher.

Here’s the best part…

It pays a steady dividend yield, which has grown every year since 2014.

You can collect quarterly checks as my #1 Defense AI stock is positioned to soar over the years to come.

The Pentagon’s budget for AI defense spending more than doubled between 2022 and 2024.

According to a research firm which consults with over 100 Fortune 500 companies, the defense AI market will grow 44% annually through 2028.

This entire market is on track to grow 4-fold within the next 3 years.

And I believe my #1 Defense AI stock is in position to benefit the most from this growing cash flow.

Every one of these stocks is trading below their true value, because Wall Street doesn’t understand how dangerous the global geopolitical environment truly is.

But once they wake up to the realities…

The stocks inside this report could skyrocket.

The AI opportunities in mining and defense are what I’m most bullish about today…

But don’t forget…

According to my math, gold has 1,000% upside during this 3rd bull market.

Even if I’m wrong, and it only goes up half as much, that’s still life-changing wealth creation.

I’ve discovered a unique stock which has the power to multiply gold’s performance from how its balance sheet is structured.

Today, normal gold mining companies take on a lot of risk.

They spend money to find gold deposits…Then they spend more to build infrastructure around it… Employing thousands to move and store the gold.

Meanwhile, gold royalty companies spend very little to make money.

They bypass all the normal costs mining companies have to spend.

And the results speak for themselves…

Since 2018, when the 3rd gold bull market was starting to heat up, the leading junior gold miner ETF is up 112%.

chart: VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF up 112%

Not bad.

But my #1 gold royalty stock has delivered 167% peak gains over the same period.

chart: Jim's #1 Gold Royalty Stock 167% peak gains instead

They’re both gold investments, but one is superior due to its royalty business.

It receives all of the upside of gold, without paying the high costs gold miners have to.

You lower the risks and expenses of the mining business and every 3 months, you can potentially collect income……

My #1 gold royalty stock has raised its dividend for 18 consecutive years and counting.

It acquired many of its 430 assets years ago, when gold valuations were significantly lower than today.

This enables the company to generate lots of cash with little debt.

If all gold does is double from today’s price…

My #1 gold royalty stock has 300% upside over the next decade.

But if gold reaches $27,000, like I predict it could if we return to the gold standard, the gains could soar even higher…Surpassing quadruple-digit returns.

You can discover its name and full buy analysis in my report: The #1 Gold Royalty Stock.

report: The #1 Gold Royalty
            Stock

Before billionaire Jim Simons passed recently, he invested over $300 million in this single stock.

Simons founded The Medallion Fund…

A $100 investment in the Medallion Fund in 1988 would have grown to $2.1 million by 2018.

Like Simons, I recognize the massive profit potential here, and I want to show how you can benefit, too.

You’ll unlock everything you need inside The #1 Gold Royalty Stock.

But there’s one more bonus I want to give you…

I’ve shown you my two best ideas for multiplying gold’s performance over the next year…

However, gold bullion remains an integral part of a balanced portfolio.

Unfortunately, many get confused from all the different choices for owning physical gold, and some are much better than others.

That’s why I wrote the special report: The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio.

report: The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio

This report demystifies all of the confusion about gold bullion.

It’s a simple road map to follow for the years ahead.

Not all physical gold is equal, but this report will help you avoid the pitfalls others have made, so you can build a reliable portfolio for the future.

You won’t find The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio on Amazon…

It’s only available to subscribers of my elite subscription service, Strategic Intelligence.

If you join us today, you’ll receive every special report I’ve mentioned today…

Plus, our entire library of dozens more.

I’ve spent over 40 years in investment banking, international economics, political, and national intelligence advisory roles.

Nothing exactly like Strategic Intelligence exists.

These are just some of the benefits you’ll unlock when you join today…

It would require an entire presentation to show you all of them.

Now, I developed Strategic Intelligence for individual Americans. If I wanted to sell this research to Wall Street, I could…

But that’s not the business I want to be in.

My purpose is to help Americans protect and grow their wealth using intelligence you’re not going to find from mainstream resources.

I don’t do this to help Wall Street grow richer…

That’s why the normal rate for six months of Strategic Intelligence is $299.

When you consider all the value you’re receiving…the model portfolio… months of investment analysis… video lessons and more…

It’s a pretty good deal.

But you don’t have to pay the full price today.

AI is revolutionizing the gold mining and defense industries right now and we don’t have any time to waste.

On top of that… the Trump Administration could make the biggest gold policy change since the 1970s…

Sending the gold price soaring all the way to $27,000, based on my math…

That’s why I’m temporarily cutting the price of Strategic Intelligence by 84%...

You can join for 6 months today for just $49.

AI is rapidly modernizing the gold mining market…

Unlocking an annual $400 billion windfall few are even aware of … as soon as 2035.

Already, for every $1 a company has invested in it, it’s produced $3.50 in return, and we’re still only in the ‘first inning’ of its roll-out.

NOW is the time to move on this once-in-a-century catalyst.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Sam Altman are buying into the private business at the center of it…

But I’ve figured out a “backdoor” way in, which to my knowledge, is the only way for people who aren’t billionaires to gain exposure.

Spending on mining AI is set to grow 675% in the coming years…
