New to Bizarro World? Here’s how to get the most out of it.
Bizarro World is the front door to everything we do for self-directed investors.
The daily Bizarro World editorial and weekly Investing in Bizarro World podcast are built on a simple idea: today's markets and economy no longer operate by the old rules. Governments, central banks, geopolitics, technology, and global supply chains have created an increasingly upside-down world that rewards independent thinking over conventional wisdom.
We help self-directed investors cut through the noise, understand the forces shaping markets, and position themselves to profit from the opportunities hiding inside the chaos.
Gerardo and I have built and continue to manage our own wealth, primarily through natural resource stocks and by identifying important macro trends and market cycles early.
For more than seven years, we’ve shared those insights with investors for free every week on the Investing in Bizarro World podcast.
It’s recorded in front of a live audience every Thursday, and then published every Monday at BizarroWorld.com, on our YouTube channel, and wherever else you get your podcasts.
Let me give you an example of how we use that podcast to get you ahead of the news cycle and in a position to profit.
In Episode 373 on July 23rd we discussed an executive order that Trump signed that week. It was about critical mineral supply chains, especially Department of Defense sourcing of strategic materials like magnets, tantalum, gallium, and germanium. And we concluded that “more support is coming for domestic supply chains because the U.S. still cannot source many of these materials at home.”
In Episode 375 on August 6 we moved deeper into the accelerating U.S. policy push around critical minerals. The recap of that episode noted:
Trump’s July 20 executive order requires critical materials used in U.S. military equipment to increasingly come from domestic or allied sources.
The problem is obvious: China still controls an enormous percentage of global mining, processing, and refining for many of these materials. That gap remains one of the most important investment themes in the market.
The government response now includes FAST-41 permitting, direct federal investments, partnerships with mining companies, opening federal and military land to processing facilities, supply-chain tracking, and restrictions on exporting critical minerals and even scrap containing those materials. The administration is also meeting directly with CEOs from the critical-minerals industry.
Premium members get one more important thing: they join us live every Thursday — four days before the free episode is released — and hear the section where we discuss the stocks we own and/or are buying to profit from the trends we're covering.
In Episode 373, Gerardo discussed Hannan Metals (TSX-V: HAN)(OTC: HANNF) and Kingsmen Resources. And I talked about Gladiator Metals (TSX-V: GLAD)(OTC: GDTRF) and Energy Fuels (NYSE: UUUU)(TSX: EFR). Three of those four stocks have returned more than twice as much as the S&P 500 over that span. Energy Fuels has returned nearly five times as much.
In Episode 375, I discussed Versamet Royalties (NASDAQ: VMET)(TSX: VMET) and Almadex Minerals (TSX-V: DEX)(OTC: AAMMF). Those stocks have vastly outperformed the broader market since last week when I mentioned them, up as much as 26% in four days.
Many of those gains were propelled by the news coverage of Trump’s meeting with mining executives last Friday, during which he unveiled $3 billion in critical mineral investments to wean the U.S. off the Chinese processing teat it has been suckling for decades.
You may have seen that news late Friday or over the weekend.
But if you’re a regular listener of Investing in Bizarro World, you would have seen it coming weeks ahead of time and been in a position to profit with specific stocks that we’ve done diligence on and own in our portfolios.
