Money Idea #2

On May 21, 2026, the board of a federal bank voted unanimously to lend nearly $3 billion to build a gold mine on American soil. Congress got 25 days notice. Nobody objected.
Final papers are expected in the second half of this year. The day that ink dries, three things happen at once: funding risk goes to zero, the U.S. government becomes financially fused to the project, and Wall Street re-rates the stock from speculative developer to federally backed strategic asset.
One more detail. The company's own filings cite "substantial support and partnership from the Department of War," a phrase we've never seen on a gold project. The reason: alongside its gold, the deposit holds a metal China formally banned from export to the United States. The only domestic reserve in the country.
The company is about one fiftieth the size of Newmont.

Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed at 6.65%, down a couple pennies from last week.
A year ago it was 6.58%. That is not the unlock buyers keep waiting for.

Money Idea #4

On June 12th, SpaceX went public. Fifteen trading days later, the Nasdaq forced it into the Nasdaq-100, the fastest inclusion in index history.
Roughly $500 billion in retirement money had to buy. Automatically. Yours included. And this was only the first wave.
A forensic accountant whose research has been validated with Harvard, MIT, and Ernst & Young says the next two waves could force $24 trillion in mandated buying inside 24 months.

The AI boom is not only a stock story. It is a power story.
