Gold, Guns, and the Golden Dome

A few days ago — before the world was blanketed in snow and ice — I sat down with Jason Freiert to catch up on the Angel Research Podcast.

You can watch it in full here. But I’ll also give you a bit of a run-down if you don’t have time.

The first thing we discussed was my “Gold and Guns” strategy, which I expect to build on the momentum it accumulated last year.

Indeed, we’ve already seen gold and silver storm to new record highs in this young year.

There’s more to come, no doubt. It’s simply a function of economic chaos.

Tariffs, trade wars, inflation, America’s spiraling national debt burden, attacks on the Federal reserve… All of these things are feeding into an investment climate that’s now saturated with uncertainty and distrust.

As a result, precious metals are rising largely at the expense of the U.S. dollar and Treasuries. Now more than ever, gold and silver are the safe-haven buys.

However, the chaos isn’t strictly confined to the economy, either.

We’ve got social unrest in the streets amid a massive immigration crackdown. We’ve got a government that can barely stay open, much less sort its spending priorities. And we’ve got simmering conflicts/crises in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran.

Heck even traditionally friendly allies like Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark and other countries throughout Europe and Asia have been jilted and forced to reexamine their relationship with the United States.

These burning conflicts have also coincided with a massive spike in ethno-nationalist movements, creating still more political strife.

And global institutions like the U.N. and ironclad alliances like NATO are at risk of completely disintegrating as the world descends into a free-for-all.

Again, amid all this chaos, defense companies have emerged as the big winners.

Old alliances are being tossed aside and countries that long depended on the United States for their security must now stand on their own, lest they be crushed or exploited by Russia or China.

Of course, while the Trump administration is retreating from Europe, it hasn’t been shy about flexing its muscle in places like Venezuela and Iran.

And Trump himself hasn’t been shy about the fact that he wants to completely remake America’s military. The Pentagon is moving lightning-fast to acquire new technologies and make progress on massive initiatives like the Golden Dome.

Speaking of which, you’ll also find me talking about that on the podcast.

Jason and I spent a few minutes talking about what separates it from the Iron Dome, how it will be implemented, what it will be capable of, and what companies will profit.

Spoiler alert: There are a lot.

The Golden Dome will stretch from sea, to land, to space, with an array of intelligence gathering assets, interceptors, and a digital cloud tying them all together.

So there’s going to be a lot of work to go around.

However, if you want to know my No. 1 Golden Dome play, you can only find that here. It’s up 85% in just the past six months.
