“Tax cuts without spending cuts are fraud” is one of my favorite quotes from none other than Mr. Rick Rule.
It’s the quote that immediately came to mind after a quick scan of the GOP budget being advanced by the Trump administration. The cost of the tax breaks — $4.5 trillion over the decade — doubles the $2 trillion in spending cuts to government programs.
The bulk of the cuts would benefit the richest among us and take it from all taxpayers. The $2 trillion in cuts, as proposed in the bill, would largely come from slashing spending on several social programs that include Medicaid, food stamps, and college grants.
However you feel about wasteful government spending (which is rampant on both sides), it is clear that the approach to getting corporations and the wealthy lucrative tax cuts is to pay for half of it at the expense of those most in need.
I’m no politician. I don’t like most politicians. I believe in smaller, more effective government and am hopeful that one day we’ll see a government that works for anyone and everyone seeking upward mobility. Not just those that can afford $5 million “Gold Visas.”
I also have very little influence, if any, on what either side elected to govern does on a national level.
What I do control is how I can position myself, friends, family, and subscribers to take advantage of whichever way the political wind blows.
My friend, business partner, and colleague Nick Hodge and I have spent the last decade-plus positioning for what we saw as a looming debt bomb waiting to explode. That’s not partisan; that’s math.
What we saw was a rush into gold and new all-time highs. Check.
We saw copper shortages that will last for years. Check.
Uranium supply/demand fundamentals that are exceptional and will last for years. Check.
And yes, even a lithium bull market that will also surge over the next several years.
We were also aggressive in financing companies through private placements.
The deals that worked turned out to be very lucrative. And as time has passed, we’ve added to our network of contacts and have made it a point to use that network to mitigate risk.
As I shared last week, of the 10 deals we offered to subscribers in 2024, three have yet to go public but will soon.
Of the seven remaining deals, we have four 200%-plus winners (that are just about to get going), two that are up double-digits, and just one in the negative column.
The winners all have warrants, which is the option to buy more shares at a fixed price for a fixed term.
And now, Nick and I are helping finance a little-known Finnish company that’s private but going public in the next quarter. The company is exploring in a region that boasts a geological endowment that could put the district on par with some of the best gold camps in the world.
We will be offering that deal to subscribers of Private Placement Intel later today.
This is #2 of three deals Nick and I outlined in our recent free private placement webinar.
We are guaranteeing that at least one of them will double in the next year. If that doesn’t happen, members who subscribe will get a free second year.
The next several years will be volatile ones but full of opportunity for those positioned correctly. We hope you’ll join us at Private Placement Intel.
Let’s get it!
