Gold’s Rally Is More Than a Safe-Haven Story

Eric Fry Editor, Smart MoneyDAILY ISSUEGold’s Rally Is More Than a Safe-Haven StoryVIEW IN BROWSERHello, Reader.Before I began my nearly 30-year career as a global macro investor, I was a kid in Southern California collecting precious numismatic coins, like the Walking Liberty Half Dollar.This silver piece, minted from 1916 to 1947, features Lady Liberty turned towards a brilliant sun. She holds both laurel and oak branches, symbolizing civil and military glory. On the back of the coin, a bald eagle perches on a rocky crag, representing strength.As a work of art, this Beaux-Arts half-dollar ranks atop the most beautiful American coins ever minted.While it’s sometimes comforting to invest in hard assets that gleam in the sunlight and clang when you drop them on a table, the precious metal market can be very difficult to analyze on a traditional basis. That’s because gold never opens franchises across the country and generate cash flow. It’s just a thing that sits there.Silver is, too, to a great extent. (Although, industrial consumption of silver has been soaring for the last few years, mostly because of solar.)Of course, all prognostication is a guess. But when it comes to the precious metals, it’s like a triple or quadruple guess because they are not productive assets.From childhood to investor-hood, I’ve been a huge gold and silver fan. And both are seeing renewed upside this week.So, in today’s Smart Money, I’d like to share my two cents – pun intended – on the state of the precious metals market.Let’s jump in…Recommended LinkThis isn’t about politics. It’s about your financial future.This message from Louis Navellier may be the most important of his entire career. What looks like routine policy from President Trump, is actually the catalyst for the most aggressive wealth transfer in modern American history. This isn’t about politics. It’s about your financial future. Click here to see this urgent message now.Precious Metals’ Renewed UpsideOne thing I’ve learned about markets over the years is that the highest volatility that you see tends to be countertrend. If a market is punctuated by steep drops, that’s probably a market that’s in a bull market. In other words, it goes up slowly, and then you get a steep drop.The converse is true: If you see a market trending lower, but then you get an abrupt, short-covering rally, that’s usually a countertrend move.Applying that to the gold and silver market, we’ve had a market that’s been trending higher. And not just this year, but for two or three years. So, when you get rapid and wild one-, two-, or three-day selloffs – like we saw a few weeks ago – that’s generally a countertrend move in an ongoing bull market.Gold is up more than 55% this year; and it remains on track for its best annual performance since 1979. And although it had a recent pullback from last month’s record high, the metal reached a near three-week high this week, trading above $4,100 per ounce.Gold’s traditional safe-haven status contributed to its recent growth. While the House of Representatives is expected to vote on ending the government shutdown today, ongoing economic uncertainty remains.I have long recommended gold and other precious metals as a hedge against uncertainty across my services. Two of my current gilded recommendations in Fry’s Investment Report are up over 200%. And those who followed my SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) recommendations in Leverage pocketed a whopping 220% gain in seven months.Now, while I focus on long-term megatrends, like gold’s multiyear climb, my colleague Jonathan Rose zeroes in on the short-term “surge points” that occur inside those same trends.Jonathan uses a trading strategy to pinpoint rapid gains. And featured in this strategy is something called an “expected move.”In his Masters in Trading LIVE video yesterday, Jonathan looked at an “expected move” in GLD – the very company I recommended – and shared his own expectations for the gold market.Let’s listen in…Profiting from Surge Points Here’s Jonathan…The expected move is the potential movement for an asset across 30 days. It’s how far the market thinks a stock or index might move up or down. Think of it like an “over/under” in a sports game. You might have the over/under, or the collective score of a football game, be 50. That’s the combined score. Over 50, you bet on the over. Under 50, you bet on the under. It’s like a binary event.When price nears the expected move, traders tend to take profits or reduce risk. If price breaks the past expected move, it signals something unexpected could potentially happen. GLD is right by the expected move. I think gold will continue following through to the upside and no longer pull back like it has been.Back in the summer of 2020, Jonathan pinpointed the surge point of another precious metal. He noticed that the silver markets were “broken,” i.e., the price of gold was soaring, but silver was stagnant. That sent the gold-to-silver ratio to the highest level it had been in decades.He correctly predicted that it was just a matter of time before this corrected and silver went on a big run. So, he told his members to place a trade to bet on a price surge in silver.The chart below shows what happened next.The price of the metal immediately took off.To put it simply, Jonathan studies where Wall Street’s most significant money is positioning early.And I recently joined him in a special Profit Surge Event earlier this week, where he explained how tracking real-time shifts in buying pressure can help you move in sync with the market’s true leaders.But that’s not all. Jonathan also showed how applying a simple tweak can multiply the payoff by 500% or more.If you missed it, don’t worry. You can still catch a replay here to see how Jonathan and I view our current market environment – and how you can sharpen your strategy for the final stretch of 2025.Click here to watch the free replay of our special event.Regards,Eric Fry Editor, Smart Money

Unsubscribe3 Quiet Movers to Watch as 2025 Winds Down (From Market Maven Insights)Rare Earth Stocks: The Truce That Isn’t a TruceWritten by Jeffrey Neal JohnsonRecent headlines celebrating a U.S.-China trade truce have lulled the market into a false sense of security, triggering a sharp sell-off in domestic rare earth stocks. But behind the headlines, a more strategic and confrontational reality is emerging.Beijing is now crafting a validated end-user (VEU) system, a surgical tool designed to maintain the flow of rare earths to approved, purely civilian American companies while explicitly blocking access for the U.S. military and its vast network of contractors. This is not a de-escalation; it is a declaration of a new, more targeted front in the global tech and defense race. This policy shift makes the development of domestic producers, such as MP Materials (NYSE: MP) and USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ: USAR), not only strategically important but absolutely mission-critical.China Sharpens Its Weapon, Russia Joins the FrayThe pressure to build a secure U.S. supply chain is now coming from two global rivals, transforming the strategic landscape and solidifying the long-term investment case for domestic producers.First, China has sharpened its export control weapons. The VEU plan is a sophisticated escalation that weaponizes its supply chain dominance by creating a potential red list for defense-related firms. This sows uncertainty for any U.S. company with dual-use applications in sectors like aerospace and automotive.The targeted approach is designed to inflict maximum pain on America’s national security apparatus while minimizing collateral damage to the broader commercial relationship, making it a more sustainable and dangerous long-term policy.Second, while China refines its export tools, Russia is now moving to build its own. President Vladimir Putin’s recent directive to create a national strategy roadmap for rare earth extraction signals a long-term strategic pivot. This raises the prospect of a coordinated China-Russia bloc in critical minerals, which would further consolidate supply away from the West.This development elevates the U.S. domestic supply chain initiative from an important industrial policy to an urgent, non-negotiable national security mission. The investment case is no longer a speculative hedge on a trade war; it is now a fundamental bet on a government-mandated build-out of a specific, defense-oriented supply chain.De-Risked and Ready to DeliverChina’s VEU plan makes the U.S. government’s recent multi-billion-dollar investments in its domestic rare earth sector look not just strategic, but prescient. Washington is building a resilient ecosystem designed to withstand this exact threat, with MP Materials and USA Rare Earth as its cornerstones.MP Materials: America’s Designated Prime Contractor. China’s strategy to cut off the U.S. military directly elevates the importance of MP. Its contracts with the Department of Defense are now more critical than ever. The 10-year price floor, which began on Oct. 1, is a direct countermeasure, guaranteeing revenue stability for the very products China seeks to restrict. MP Materials’ recent third-quarter 2025 earnings report showed record production of 721 metric tons of high-value NdPr, demonstrating its ability to meet this secure demand with sufficient feedstock. With a $1.94 billion cash hoard, it has the firepower to accelerate its build-out to meet any new defense-related demand surges.USA Rare Earth: The Strategic Second Source. In a world of targeted supply chain attacks, redundancy is key. USAR’s recent acquisition of UK-based Less Common Metals (LCM) is a strategic masterstroke, providing immediate, non-Chinese expertise in the specialized metals and alloys needed for defense-grade magnets. This move, combined with a massive post-Q3 cash position of over $400 million, positions USAR as the clear choice to become America’s critical second source, dramatically increasing its chances of securing lucrative DoD contracts as it approaches its Q1 2026 commissioning.The Market’s Miscalculation: A Powder Keg of OpportunityThe market sold off on the simplistic truce headline, creating a stark valuation disconnect. Analyst consensus remains a Moderate Buy on both companies, and the price drops have made the upside to their average price targets even more compelling.As of Nov. 11, the consensus price target implies a potential upside of over 26% for MP Materials and over 48% for USA Rare Earth.Adding a powerful technical dynamic is the high level of short interest against the sector, standing at a compelling 17.89% for MP and 14.45% for USAR. This extreme pessimism creates a coiled spring scenario. Any sudden geopolitical escalation, such as a formal announcement of China’s VEU list or a new U.S. defense contract, could instantly invalidate the bearish thesis, forcing short-sellers to buy back shares en masse.This rush of forced buying could trigger an explosive rebound. The race for rare earth supremacy is accelerating. For investors with a long-term horizon, the market’s current fear may have just put a strategically vital sector on sale. READ THIS STORY ONLINEThe Recession Already Started, Are You Prepared?

The companies that stock our pantries and fill our dinner tables are making big strategic moves, catching the attention of investors. The main course was served on Nov. 10, when private-label food giant TreeHouse Foods (NYSE: THS) saw its stock surge over 22% following news of a multi-billion-dollar buyout.This acquisition, orchestrated by a major private equity firm, signals that sophisticated investors see deep, untapped value in the food manufacturing sector. It raises the question: what other opportunities are hiding in plain sight? Beyond TreeHouse, key suppliers such as Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) and Dole plc (NYSE: DOLE) also reported significant developments, each presenting a distinct yet compelling investment case. For investors, this creates a menu of distinct opportunities, each with its own recipe for potential returns.TreeHouse Foods: An Acquisition Served With a PremiumThe most significant news driving the food sector is the agreement for TreeHouse Foods to be acquired by the investment firm Investindustrial. The all-cash transaction carries a total enterprise value of approximately $2.9 billion, a figure that sent a clear message to the market about the company’s underlying worth.Shareholders are set to receive $22.50 per share in cash.This price represents a substantial 38% premium to the company’s closing stock price on September 26, 2025, the last trading day before market speculation about a potential deal began.The market reacted swiftly, sending TreeHouse Food’s stock up 22.83% to close at $23.40 on the day of the announcement.This buyout presents a valuable exit opportunity for shareholders, particularly following a challenging third quarter during which the company reported a net loss and missed analyst expectations.The deal also includes a bonus dish for shareholders in the form of a non-transferable Contingent Value Right (CVR). This provides investors with a potential future payout tied to the outcome of ongoing antitrust litigation against Keurig (NASDAQ: KDP) and Green Mountain, related to the single-serve coffee market.For investors, the narrative for TreeHouse Foods has now shifted. The stock is no longer a bet on the company’s operational performance but an event-driven opportunity centered on the successful closing of the acquisition, expected in the first quarter of 2026. While several law firms have launched standard investigations into the deal’s fairness, the significant premium paid by private equity serves as a strong validation that there was substantial unlocked value in the business.Tyson Foods: Poultry Profits Power a TurnaroundAs the potential supplier of the Thanksgiving turkey, Tyson Foods is a household name, and its latest financial report tells a story of strategic resilience.Tyson reported strong fiscal Q4 and full-year 2025 results that exceeded analyst expectations on adjusted earnings, resulting in a 2.41% increase in its stock price to $53.95.The company’s performance was driven by the exceptional strength of its chicken segment, which is successfully offsetting industry-wide challenges in its beef business.Key results highlighting this dynamic include:Strong Full-Year Performance: Fiscal 2025 sales grew 2.1% to $54.44 billion, while adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) surged 33% to $4.12.Chicken Segment Dominance: The chicken segment delivered an impressive 10.4% adjusted operating margin in the fourth quarter, a testament to strong consumer demand and effective cost management.Beef Segment Headwinds: In stark contrast, the beef segment posted a negative adjusted operating margin of (1.6)% in the fourth quarter, squeezed by record-high cattle costs and weakening consumer demand at higher price points.Despite the pressure on its beef business, Tyson’s diversified model is proving its worth. In a strong signal of management’s confidence, the company’s Board of Directors approved a 2% increase in its quarterly dividend. Furthermore, the company issued an upbeat outlook for fiscal 2026, forecasting sales growth of 2% to 4%.For investors, the takeaway is clear: Tyson’s powerful poultry and prepared foods divisions are generating enough profit and cash flow to navigate the cyclical downturn in the beef market. The positive market reaction suggests investors are focused on this operational strength and the company’s confident outlook.Dole: Focused Strategy and Shareholder ReturnsNo holiday meal is complete without fresh sides and desserts, and Dole plc is making strategic moves to ensure it remains a top supplier. The company recently reported mixed third-quarter earnings results, with revenue beating expectations while earnings fell short. However, the bigger story for investors lies in the company’s strategic pivot toward a leaner, more focused business model.In August 2025, Dole completed the sale of its Fresh Vegetables division.This move was a key strategic milestone, freeing up capital and allowing the company to concentrate on its core, higher-margin businesses.This discipline is already paying off for investors. Dole’s Board of Directors promptly authorized a new $100 million share repurchase program, demonstrating a clear commitment to returning capital to shareholders.Despite sourcing cost pressures that impacted the Q3 EPS of 5 cents, the overall business is performing well. Key indicators of this strength include:Strong Revenue Growth: Third-quarter revenue grew an impressive 10.5% year-over-year to $2.3 billion, surpassing analyst forecasts.Raised Full-Year Guidance: Citing strong momentum, management raised its full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization guidance to the upper end of its target range of $380−390 million.For investors, Dole represents a compelling special situation where a strategic change is unlocking value. The investment case is centered on a more profitable and streamlined company with a clear and aggressive capital return policy, achieved through dividend payments and share buybacks. The strong revenue performance and confident outlook suggest the company is successfully navigating its operational challenges.The Final Bite: A Plate for Every PalateThe blockbuster buyout of TreeHouse Foods has confirmed what savvy investors suspected—companies that stock America’s pantries are undervalued. The recent earnings reports and strategic announcements from Tyson Foods and Dole plc reinforce this theme, each showcasing a unique path to creating value. The Thanksgiving table offers a diverse menu of investment opportunities. TreeHouse Foods presents an event-driven play with a defined cash payout at a substantial premium. Tyson Foods represents a resilient industry giant, leveraging its powerful poultry segment to navigate the cycle and reward shareholders with a growing dividend. Finally, Dole plc presents a compelling narrative of a company strategically refocusing to unlock and return significant value through an aggressive buyback program. For investors paying attention, the food sector is serving up more than just dinner this holiday season. READ THIS STORY ONLINE3 Quiet Movers to Watch as 2025 Winds Down (Ad)While headlines focus on the shutdown endgame and tariff talk, the real story is what’s happening underneath the surface. Certain small-cap names are quietly seeing renewed attention as capital begins to rotate back into AI, energy infrastructure, and defense systems heading into 2026. Our team has pinpointed three under-the-radar companies showing early accumulation and momentum before the crowd catches on.[GET TRADE ALERTS + FREE REPORT NOW — LIMITED ACCESS]C3.ai’s Reset: Why New Leadership Could Spark a TurnaroundWritten by Jeffrey Neal JohnsonFor enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) firm C3.ai (NYSE: AI), the narrative has soured. Once a high-flyer in the artificial intelligence space, the company’s stock now trades near its 52-week lows, having shed more than half its value year-to-date. The decline follows a stunningly poor first-quarter 2026 earnings report that saw revenues fall sharply and full-year guidance withdrawn, fueling a crisis of confidence among investors. Compounding the uncertainty, the company’s high-profile founder, Thomas Siebel, has stepped down from the CEO role. Yet, in moments of peak pessimism, strategic opportunities can emerge. With a new CEO now at the helm, the central question for investors is whether this leadership change marks the beginning of a genuine turnaround or a continuation of the decline.A Crisis of Execution, Not TechnologyThe catalyst for C3.ai’s stock price downturn was the company’s fiscal first-quarter 2026 results. C3.aireported total revenue of $70.3 million, a 19% year-over-year decline and a significant miss against the consensus analyst estimate of approximately $104 million. The operational pressure was also evident in the GAAP gross margin, which compressed to 38%, leading to a net loss of $116.8 million for the quarter.In the subsequent earnings call, then-CEO Thomas Siebel did not mince words, labeling the results “completely unacceptable.” However, his diagnosis of the problem provides the foundation for a bullish outlook. He attributed the failure not to a weakening market or emerging competitive threats, but to two specific internal factors: poor sales execution and disruptions caused by a comprehensive internal reorganization of the sales team. This self-assessment is critical for investors, as it frames the company’s recent struggles as operational and fixable, rather than fundamental flaws in its technology or market position. It suggests the engine is sound; it just needs a new driver and a tune-up.An Operator Takes the WheelTo fix its execution problem, C3.ai has initiated a significant leadership overhaul, centered on the appointment of Stephen Ehikian as the new Chief Executive Officer. Ehikian is not a caretaker; he is an operator with a specific and highly relevant toolkit for executing turnaround strategies. His background presents a compelling case that he is the right leader to address the company’s stated weaknesses.Proven Execution: Ehikian has a track record of building and scaling AI software companies. He successfully guided two firms, RelateIQ and Airkit.ai, to successful acquisitions by Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), demonstrating a clear ability to drive results and create shareholder value.Public Sector Acumen: He previously served as Acting Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), where he was responsible for technology modernization and the adoption of AI across the federal government.This background aligns directly with C3.ai‘s needs. His operational experience is suited to stabilize and optimize the sales organization, while his deep federal expertise aligns perfectly with one of the company’s most important growth segments. In the first quarter, Federal, Defense, and Aerospace contracts accounted for 28% of all bookings. This is more than a simple CEO swap; it is a full-scale operational overhaul, with sales and services now unified under a new Chief Commercial Officer and new leaders for North America and EMEA.Good Bones: The Foundation for a ReboundA new CEO’s success often depends on the quality of the assets they inherit. In this regard, Stephen Ehikian is stepping into a company with a strong underlying foundation, thereby mitigating the risks associated with the recent operational stumble.First, the company is financially stable. With $711.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and no debt, C3.ai has a substantial financial cushion to execute its strategy without financial pressure. This gives the new leadership team the flexibility to make necessary investments in its go-to-market engine.Second, a powerful growth engine is already in place. The company’s partner ecosystem, which includes multiple tech giants, is a significant driver of business. In the first quarter, 40 of the 46 agreements that closed came through this channel, underscoring its importance and providing immense leverage that a direct sales force alone could not achieve.Finally, contracted future revenue provides a predictable base. The company reported a Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) of $223.2 million, representing a backlog of business that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. This provides a degree of stability for the new team to build upon.Execution Is Now EverythingFor investors, the narrative surrounding C3.ai has undergone a fundamental shift. The company has acknowledged its execution failures and made a decisive leadership change specifically designed to address them. The bull case is no longer based solely on the vision of its founder, but on the operational capabilities of a new, proven leadership team inheriting a company with strong technology, key partnerships, and a solid balance sheet.The focus now turns entirely to future performance. Investors should watch for signs of stabilization in the upcoming quarters, particularly in revenue growth and the company’s ability to issue and meet financial guidance. Success will hinge on the new team’s ability to translate the company’s technological strengths into consistent financial results.Adding another layer to the story are recent reports that the company is exploring strategic options, including a potential sale. While still speculative, this development introduces a potential catalyst that could provide a valuation floor for the stock, offering another potential path to shareholder returns as the market anticipates a possible acquisition premium. The path forward for C3.ai now rests on execution, and with a new team at the controls, the opportunity for a significant rerating is clear. READ THIS STORY ONLINEYou Don’t Need Ultra-Software to Catch This Setup (Ad)You don’t need fancy software or AI tools to stay ahead — just the right signal before momentum hits.
