"Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left."
— Victor Hugo
Ladies and gentlemen, come one, come all! Step right up and pick your stocks!
Take a ride on the Money-Go-Round…
Dizzy yourselves on the Tiit-A-Wealth…
The screams coming from this very tent? Never you mind! It isn’t the Strongman hoisting a horse over his head. The Bearded Lady isn’t having an afternoon shave. And Alligator Boy hasn't claimed his latest victim…
No sir!
The bellows you hear belong to none other than the main attraction here at the Cash Carnival, the financial fire-breather himself – Jiiiiiiiim Cramer!
With apologies to Mr. Cramer, watching Mad Money is indeed like watching a carnival barker. It isn’t his job to deliver solid financial advice to his viewers. He just needs to get asses in the seats. Cramer's function is that of an entertainer – not an infallible investment advisor. He’s paid to prioritize engagement over predictive perfection.
If you take a look at some of the boners he’s pulled over the years, that much should be clear.
On February 29th, 2000, he begged investors to pile into tech stocks weeks before the spectacular bursting of the dot-come bubble.
With a straight face – on the eve of the housing market collapse – he urged anxious investors to hold on to Bear Stearns: "No! No! No! Bear Stearns is fine! Do not take your money out!" he screamed.
Bear Stearns was completely broke by the end of week.
Cramer’s predictions got so bad that The Inverse Cramer Tracker ETF was launched to short all of Mad Money’s recommendations.
But I’m not here to trash Jim – I only pulled him into this carnival scene because of a message I received last Friday from longtime reader John K.
John wrote: “I'm wondering what Gerardo thinks of Jim Cramer's Mad Money prediction on copper pricing. He's indicating "Sell on Monday".
A fair question. I posited it to Gerardo and he laughed.
“You know just what that means. Copper is going higher!”
Lo and behold, that day copper opened near $6.64 and closed higher around $6.72 per pound. On Monday – when Cramer said to sell at the opening bell – copper hit a high of $6.82 per pound and settled near $6.79.
Now, Gerardo didn’t know that would happen because he was betting against Jim Cramer. He knew that because as a successful resource trader himself, he is quite aware of the macro and micro trends of the copper space.
In fact, at the very moment Cramer was making hamfisted predictions about copper prices, Gerardo was hobnobbing with the best minds in the global metals market at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit.
He took the time between high-level meetings to send an alert to his Junior Resource Speculator members saying:
“The real price action right now is in the copper space.
Copper is once again flirting with brand-new all-time highs. This is a theme that we’ve identified and talked about for many years here at Junior Resource Speculator. It’s why parts of the portfolio are positioned the way they are.
Copper is increasingly being targeted as a critical metal by the kind of capital that doesn’t really care what it pays for. It cares that it can find enough.
That’s a trend that will accelerate.
Despite a 50% pop over the past year, the real fireworks have yet to begin.
You want to build a house? Copper.
You want to rebuild your country? Copper.
You want to win the AI race? Copper.
I expect copper to continue to have itself one heck of a run for the next several years.”
While Jim Cramer is screaming into the camera, Gerardo Del Real is quietly gathering the information he needs to make himself and his readers real-life profits. He’s made the case that copper is a critical metal needed for practically every important building block of modern life.
But instead of simply trading on the copper price, he’s going right to the source.
That’s why he sent this investment dispatch from an undisclosed location in the heart of South Dakota.
He personally stood on what could be the single-most valuable piece of ground in the mining world right now and uncovered the tiny company that owns it – trading for under a dollar.
Seven critical minerals – including copper, gold, tin, lithium and tantalum – were confirmed in the drill core. Every single one of them is on the federal government’s official list. And all from the same property.
Almost nobody knows anything about it.
No one in the media has mentioned it.
And you certainly won’t hear Jim Cramer barking about it.
Come one, come all!
Turn off the TV and take a peek behind the curtain…
Godspeed,
Jimmy Mengel
