Gold hit a record high while you slept last night. It’s done so each week for the past six, kissing $4,000 per ounce on cheek today.
Silver just turned in its highest monthly close, ever.
Bitcoin is also at an all-time high today. It’s added more than $15,000 since the end of September to trade over $125,000.
These assets are going up because of rising government debt, inflation, and the government’s unwillingness to do anything about it.
Stocks Are at Record Highs Too
The S&P 500 — the major US stock index — also hit an all-time high in the past few days. The NASDAQ, which is the go-to tech barometer, is also at an all-time high.
These assets are going up because of robust economic growth.
US GDP was revised up to 3.8% for Q2 and will be close to 3% for Q3 when the number comes out later this month.
If the number comes out, that is. The government is shut down, after all, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) suspends operations and data releases during such times.
If an economy grows 3% in a quarter and there's no 3-letter government agency to report it... does it make a sound?
That question has already been answered by the stock market, which, if you haven’t heard, is at all-time record highs — up some 14% for the year.
The real question isn’t what markets have done this year…
It’s what have you personally done?
We Told You This Was Coming
Did you listen to me in Foundational Profits back in July, when I told readers that:
…it was going to be a bullish second half of the year, there would be no recession, and that coming reflation would boost our portfolio.
Did you pay attention to Gerardo in the June issue of Junior Resource Monthly, calling for silver to run higher:
After 13 years the silver price finally broke the $35 level in a convincing way. Next stop technically is a break of the $38 level followed by a move to the $40 level. It’s been 13 years since we saw prices this high and I suspect the fun in the silver space is just beginning. Things are turning up all around in the hard asset space. Recall that all last year I explained my enthusiasm for the second half of this year. We’re here and excited to be positioned the way we are.
Indeed, the Foundational Profits open portfolio is up 50% more than the record-setting S&P this year. And the average open winner in Junior Resource Monthly is up 164%.
Positioned Before the Panic
We didn’t do anything to “prepare our portfolios for a government shutdown,” as so much clickbait implored you to do over the past few weeks. There was nothing to do. The course of the market had been set long prior, and we were positioned for it in multiple ways.
And that’s just in the monthly letters.
Private Placements: Record Performance
In Private Placement Intel, we have participated in eleven private placements so far this year:
- Five are up more than 100%, including a 550% winner
- Four are up double-digits
- One is slightly negative
- One is about to list (a silver company at just the right time)
The average open position in that private placement portfolio is up more than 250%.
The next one is open now: A gold exploration and development IPO with gold at $4,000. It’s filling up fast. And the deadline is tomorrow, October 8th. Click here if you’d like to participate.
I said it last week and I’ll say it again this week: I’m having a great government shutdown.
We don’t need them to bank all-time record high profits.
Call it like you see it,
