A Gold Mine in a Strip Mall
Dear Subscriber,

The 2026 IPO market is off to an amazing start.
Back in January, I’d told you we would see a “Big Year Ahead for IPOs.”
A full 75 companies have already gone public so far this year — with more on the way.
One of those 2026 IPOs was Eagle Nuclear Energy (NUCL).
Eagle joined the publicly traded club on Feb. 25.
And TOMORROW, I’ll join them as they ring the opening bell at the Nasdaq to celebrate their shiny new IPO.
That’s fresh off last month’s NYSE bell-ringing ceremony with Starfighters Space ( FJET) last month.
My “Eagle”-eyed subscribers will recognize the Starfighters, Fortuna Investments and Eagle principals at FJET’s ceremony.
I had the honor of standing up on that dais with them too as they celebrated this incredible accomplishment. (I’m the second person from the right.)
And this IPO train will only continue to pick up momentum.
The grandaddy of all privately held companies, SpaceX, could make the move to go public as early as June — with a valuation of $1.75 trillion.
Several other large, privately held tech giants may also IPO this year. Anthropic, Strike and Anduril are just a few companies that could make the move.
But … there’s a snag they’ll have to overcome.
Right now, the market has soured on tech stocks.
You can see it with the Magnificent Seven stocks.
Nvidia (NVDA) beat earnings for the 28th-straight quarter in February. Yet, shares tanked.
Microsoft (MSFT) has dropped to its 200-week moving average.
NVDA is down almost 5% since the start of the year, while MSFT has lost more than 15%.
In short, investors are looking beyond the top tech stocks of the past few years for their future returns.
Fortunately, there’s always an opportunity in markets.
Today’s opportunity? Hard assets.
And guess what?
That’s also fertile ground for pre-IPO companies.
I’ll tell you about one that’s caught my eye in a moment.
Why Investors Like Hard Assets Now
In 2025, gold surged nearly 65%, and silver more than doubled, returning 148%. Other metals showed similar big moves.
Energy was a mixed bag, as uranium prices soared.
While oil and gas declined last year, it was the top performing sector in the first two months of 2026. Oil even ran up above $100 yesterday morning before pulling back.
Companies like ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron ( CVX) have been hitting new 52-week highs — with more gains likely ahead — even as oil prices have barely nudged higher.
These energy majors are up more than 25% each, year to date. Again, that’s versus the S&P 500’s 1.3% loss.
It’s Not Just the Middle East Conflict
While Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz is putting the pressure on energy prices, that’s a newer development.
Oil’s surge also reflects the big move this year in intangible assets such as software stocks, which have taken a beating recently.
To another extent, hard assets have been out of favor for years.
So, some of this pop is a simple reversion to the mean — one where overvalued sectors take a breather while undervalued sectors outperform.
Whatever the reasons …
This Could Put a Floor Under Other Hard Asset Prices
AI stocks might be out of favor.
But AI itself isn’t going anywhere.
As AI infrastructure builds out, it requires data centers.
Which consume tremendous amounts of energy.
And they require commodities such as copper for wiring, and precious metals for some key chip components.
In short, commodities and hard assets have shown where the bottleneck is for the AI boom.
And now it’s their turn to lead the way higher.
Investors have plenty of opportunities to play this trend.
That can include buying precious metals themselves or the stocks of companies that mine them.
I’ve found an even more intriguing way to play precious metals.
One that isn’t publicly traded … yet!
The Power of Crowdfunding
In 2000, gold prices hit a cycle low of $250 per ounce. And gold mining companies faced the challenge of falling prices and fixed costs.
One company, Goldcorp, rose to the occasion. Its founder, Rob McEwen, launched the Goldcorp Challenge.
The company offered $575,000 worth of prizes to anyone who could help locate the company’s next 6 million ounces of gold reserves.
Over 110 sites were identified, more than 80% of which yielded massive reserves.
Talk about crowdfunding!
Today, Goldcorp is part of Barrick Mining (B) — one of the biggest players in the industry. And Rob went on to launch McEwen ( MUX), which mines and produces gold, silver and copper.
I’ll let my colleague Sean Brodrick speak to the quality and timing of those publicly traded miners.
But when it comes to one private company that’s finding new ways to extract resources?
I’m getting ready jump in.
From Strip Mines to Strip Malls
I’m talking about a private company that’s developed a new extraction technology for 30+ valuable metals.
Those include gold, silver, copper and rare earths.
And they come from a largely untapped source worth up to $60 BILLION annually.
While the big players in the industry need to replenish their reserves over time, this company has a BIG advantage.
Not only is this startup’s first facility already operational …
But it already has plans to rapidly scale operations across America and abroad.
Even better?
Its process is 10x faster … and requires up to 70x less capital expenditure … than traditional mining.
Simply put … it’s faster and cheaper than the competition, with profit margins potential that is unheard of in the resource sector.
As one of the principals of this startup told me, “You can build a gold mine in a strip mall” with this new approach.
Imagine that with me for a moment …
A gold mine in a strip mall.
One you can invest in … before it goes public!
Click here to see exactly how. But don’t wait.
That’s’ because I’m getting ready to introduce this startup to my Deal Hunters Alliance.
Plus, I plan to invest in this company myself.
And these deals tend to fill up FAST.
So, if you want to invest in this early stage startup …
One that can “mine” precious metals AND take advantage of today’s record-high gold and silver prices …
You’ve got to get ready to claim your stake.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
