After Donald Trump was elected in late 2024, markets became extremely volatile.
That wasn’t a surprise, given the turbulence of his first term.
But this time, the swings were even more dramatic.
With the White House taking unpredictable turns, investors are still being caught off guard.
Policy shifts come fast.
One day it’s a public fight with the Fed. The next, tariffs are declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Then new ones get introduced to counter that.
Add rising geopolitical tension, and you get a market environment that feels unstable.
Our readers were prepared. Right after the election, we posted this:
“…having gold in your portfolio is wise—not for gains (although they may happen, too) but as protection against excessive market volatility.”
Like many fundamental investors who believe in real assets, we expected higher gold and silver prices. Still, the recent gold rally surprised even us.
To be fair, the rally was deserved. And we don’t believe gold is overpriced even after its historic run.
But no price goes up in a straight line. A healthy correction in precious metals is likely.
Recognizing when it’s time to sell high will be crucial. Otherwise, investors risk turning paper profits into real losses.
During periods of uncertainty, staying on top of major news and acting with discipline matters more than ever.
This is the moment to bring your investment game to the next level.
Let us show you how.
With new technologies spreading information faster than ever, news outlets and social media flood investors with updates. Most people can’t read everything, let alone digest it and make decisions based on it.
That’s the price retail investors pay for relying on these platforms.
It has become nearly impossible to separate meaningful news from market noise.
Material news can move your portfolio. Noise has no fundamental impact.
And on top of that, fake stories circulate daily, adding confusion and stress.
Most of this information provides no real value.
In calm markets, this may not hurt much. But in a highly volatile environment, time is limited. Every distraction can cost money.
Proactive investors should rely on a trusted source of information and guidance. Doing so can save both time and capital.
This is where professional insight becomes valuable.
Personal financial advisors can help some investors by creating “tailored” strategies. (They often aren’t.) But their services are expensive. Their advice is infrequent. And clients are often pushed toward products the advisor benefits from — usually mutual funds filled with stocks they barely understand.
If the advisor is not too set in his or her ways, they may mention safe-haven assets like gold. Gold has historically outperformed during corrections and crashes.
But ask them about specific gold stocks — especially those that leverage the metal’s performance — and you’ll likely get little insight. It’s simply not their area of expertise.
Retail investors looking for real-time, practical updates need someone closer to the industry.
For precious metals, that means people from the mining sector.
People with hands-on experience.
People with a track record of creating value.
People who invest alongside their followers, not just talk about some hypothetical strategy.
You want someone who avoids unrealistic metal price forecasts and sticks to fundamentals.
Someone who stays cautious when markets run hot.
Someone who understands that only closed trades count as real gains and that unrealized profits can disappear quickly in volatile markets.
There are several newsletter writers who understand the mining industry well.
We know many of them and respect some of their work.
But if a guru becomes irrational and insists that metals will “go to the moon,” that rarely ends well for subscribers.
Don’t misunderstand us — we would love to see gold and silver double every year.
But that’s not realistic.
We recommend following experts with a more conservative, disciplined view of metals and mining.
People who won’t drag your portfolio down with overoptimistic calls.
People who aim to preserve capital and profit alongside their readers.
We see this approach in Rob Bruggeman’s The Wealthy Miner service.
Before launching it, Mr. Bruggeman served as chairman of AbraSilver. During his time there, he helped create significant value for shareholders. The company grew from about $5 million to a market cap of $2 billion.
At The Wealthy Miner, he provides real-time market updates and company-specific commentary.
He does not offer personal financial advice — regulators prohibit that — but he maintains an open discussion space for a focused group of mining-sector investors.
We recommend him as a reliable industry voice who can help investors navigate turbulent markets and profit from them.
