Economic downturns are strange things, mainly because they don’t always manifest themselves in the same ways for everyone. It largely depends on one’s economic status, of course, but the fact remains that everyone feels the effects to wildly varying degrees.
For instance, $4-per-gallon gas might cause some drivers to grumble while for others it determines whether or not they’ll be able to get to work.
It’s the same for something like food. Some will simply bear the brunt of higher grocery costs while others will change their eating habits entirely just to stay above water.
All of that is to say that economic environments like this will have most people constantly thinking about money regardless of how financially secure they are. To get through it, some are thinking about ways to cut spending while others are thinking about what needs to be done to make more money and stay ahead of the forces that are eroding personal wealth.
The volatility we’re seeing day to day caused by war and geopolitics is so ingrained in the collective psyche that it’s hard to imagine being able to decouple from it in order to get back to something that resembles normalcy. Instead, money management strategies now involve looking at the environment for what it is and figuring out what works despite the volatility.
That can involve both sidestepping it and playing into it.
In the case of what we’re witnessing now, playing into the volatility means buying into commodities.
The inflationary forces that have raised the cost of living are some of the biggest contributors to commodity prices rising. Traders and central banks have historically bought gold as a hedge against the volatility of fiat currencies and that’s playing out now just as it has in the past. And just like in the past, where gold goes, silver isn’t far behind. Both commodities are in a bull market with plenty of runway still in front of them.
Beyond that, commodities that keep society at large afloat have been enjoying time in the spotlight.
Copper is needed for the buildout of electrical infrastructure as nations try to get away from fossil fuels. Likewise, uranium is needed to bring nuclear reactors online as those same nations realize that renewable energy sources like wind and solar, while crucial, aren’t enough to meet the growing demand that they’re seeing.
It just so happens that both of those commodities are also in supply deficits that have been steadily building for years. Only now are the markets paying attention to that fact, and so prices have been on an upswing. That this trend was coming was clear to only a handful of investors, and now the rest of the market is slowly beginning to wake up to it, which is why you’re going to see prices in these commodities climb higher sooner than later.
The other option for managing wealth in this economic environment is to sidestep it entirely, and it can involve looking at those same commodities that are on the rise because of what’s happening.
It’s all about buying into the right companies before the public is even aware of them.
That means buying shares in the company directly from the company instead of on the open market from other traders, which is how most brokerage accounts work.
Going that route provides the buyer with shares at a discount as well as warrants that allow the buyer to buy more shares later at a discounted price. This is all done well before any news hits that would propel the company’s shares, so investors who buy privately are beating the crowd.
It’s the kind of investment strategy that allowed Nick and Gerardo to build their wealth and they’re showing their readers how to do the same.
And right now, there’s one opportunity that will only be available for a short period of time. It involves a C$14 million company with a massive gold asset that still has room for expansion. Not only does this company have gold, but it has a critical metal the US government is sparing no expense to buy up. As one of the few companies that can provide this metal, its value is poised to skyrocket sooner than later.
How high it will go is anyone’s guess, but the investors who buy in now, during the brief time that this window of opportunity is open, will be the big winners when it does take off.
