The Quiet Bull

Wall Street is in full “melt-up” mode, with popular stocks hitting new highs every day.

But most people are still missing the biggest profit opportunity out there…

It’s a sector that has quietly outperformed the NASDAQ — without a lot of buy-in from big institutions and everyday investors.

When they finally join the party, the gains will go into overdrive.

I’ll give you the details — including insights from our team — after our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.

Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:

• “Paradigm Portfolio ‘Report Card’” (Concierge Letter, Matt Insley): Our team has been on a real hot streak lately — delivering a steady stream of spot-on predictions and triple-digit profit opportunities. But if you’ve cashed in on our advice, you should be taking steps to protect and grow your windfall. That’s why Publisher Matt reached out to members, sharing money management tips and asset allocation suggestions. They’re the key to long-term success — so be sure to check out Matt’s insights!

• “China: Rising Power or Falling Star?” (Daily Reckoning, Jim Rickards): The United States and China seem locked into a geopolitical and economic chess game… so Jim explores whether the two countries are evenly matched. His analysis of Chinese strengths and weaknesses originally appeared in Jim Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence — but was too good not to share with a wider audience. See why member Michael V. calls it, “one of the most interesting and well-written articles I’ve ever read by Jim Rickards!”

• “IONQ’s Quantum Acceleration” (Altucher’s Investment Network, Ray Blanco): While Wall Street is still laser-focused on artificial intelligence, James Altucher and his team are exploring the next big thing — quantum computing. So Ray recently updated Altucher’s Investment Network members on IONQ Inc. (IONQ). This pioneer has delivered 257% gains… and Ray explores what’s ahead. Ray’s analysis was one of our most-liked stories last week. The stock’s price has also pulled back a bit, making this a great time to unlock it for you.

Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups above are our TOP ones for the week — including one that had been roped off from the public. If you want to stay ahead of the pack, make sure you’re caught up now.

The Reader Forum:

First in the Forum today, Jim A. tells James Altucher and his team:

You guys rock. Your picks are solid and they are soaring. I brought my portfolio up from $130,000 in April of this year to $236,171 present time.

I hope you’re reading this, Jim… because that’s amazing! You’ve doubled your money in about six months.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, though. Our team has been delivering home run after home run. But it’s great to hear that our research is having a real impact on people’s wealth.

Here’s to your continued success!

Next, Paul M. recently received help from Joan, who’s on my customer care team. He reports:

Joan went above and beyond during the call, delivering a smooth and seamless experience that truly reflected excellent customer service. She provided me with all the information I needed, ensuring clarity and confidence throughout the entire conversation.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Paul. The men and women who answer our phones and respond to your emails are a critical part of Paradigm Press. So I love hearing when my team is doing exactly what they’ve been trained to do!

I’m sure that if you ever need our help again, you will have a similar experience — whether you deal with Joan or anyone else!

Finally for today, last week we shared members’ praise for Chris Cimorelli, whose 10X Trade Club delivered massive overnight gains.

Robert H. replies:

Why didn’t Chris share some of these 10x ideas with his Microcap Millionaire subscribers?

10X Trade Club and Microcap Millionaires are separate services, Robert, with their own focus, risk profile and recommendations.

But that doesn’t mean Microcap Millionaire members missed a win!

On Sept. 16, Chris sent a special bonus trade for Microcap Millionaire. It was similar to his stock option recommendation for 10X Trade Club… but tailored for Microcap Millionaire’s overarching strategy.

So when Chris’ prediction came true, the Microcap Millionaire trade jumped, too. Anyone who had followed his Microcap Millionaire alert had a chance to profit — just like 10X Trade Club members did.

Of course, the profits weren’t quite as big… because Microcap Millionaire members aren’t looking for super-speculative options trades. They want to know the names of Wall Street’s hottest up-and-coming stocks.

And Chris has delivered on that front, with open recommendations up 148% in 11 months… 289% since July… and a mind-boggling 401% since April!

That wraps up this week’s Reader Forum.

Now, here’s what’s happening around the water cooler this week…

The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More

“Does the average mainstream investor even know that the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is beating the Nasdaq year-to-date?” asks Greg Guenthner, one of our top chart specialists. “I doubt it.”

Paradigm Press has spent the last few years telling you to buy gold.

And since November 2023, the precious metal has soared from under $2,000 an ounce to just shy of $3,800.

Meanwhile, GLD — the exchange-traded fund that follows gold prices — is up 43% year-to-date… while the Nasdaq is only up 16% for the year.

You’d think a move like that would capture Wall Street’s attention. Yet everyday investors and big institutions are chasing high-tech investments instead.

“Everything’s going right for the mining sector now,” says Jim Rickards’ go-to analyst, Dan Amoss. “But their stocks still haven’t had cash flows from institutional buyers.”

He calls it a “quiet bull market.”

Greg agrees. “I don't believe we're anywhere near the fervor of the last bull run leading up to the 2011 top,” he tells us.

In other words, the real action won’t begin until we’re seeing “cash for gold” signs and advertisements everywhere.

Jim Rickards expects gold to top $4,000 an ounce this year… and $5,000 next year — on its way to an eventual $25,000 an ounce.

So if you’re holding gold and mining stocks, be patient. The best is yet to come.

And if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, thinking you’ve missed your chance to capture precious metals gains — it’s not too late.

“There’s still plenty of room on the bandwagon,” says Greg.
