Wall Street says BUY GOLD, but …
Dear Member,
While practically every popular investment has been swinging wildly these past weeks …
Gold hit a new high just over a month ago.
And according to Wall Street’s biggest banks, this is just the start …
Goldman Sachs is telling clients to “buy gold” to protect from the trade wars and economic uncertainty.
JPMorgan says the yellow metal is on its way to hit $6,000.
And it’s not just words.
JPMorgan just had $4 billion worth of physical gold deliveredto the bank’s headquarters in New York.
Now, owning some physical gold in a portfolio right now is a great start for any investor.
But the undisputed fact is …
In every past gold bull market, going back nearly 100 years …
Investors had a chance to make exponentially bigger profits than simply holding physical gold.
We’re talking 13 times … 21 times … 157 times … even a surprising 1,000 times more.
All without buying another ounce of gold.
Now, just to be clear …
This has NOTHING to do with risky options trades, betting on silver or buying another off-brand metal.
To show you exactly how this strategy works — and how investors can use it in today’s gold bull market — go here for all the details.

Trump’s Iran Update Spikes Volatility. Now What?
Stocks gyrate after Trump extends the Iran timeline… what yesterday’s jobs data tells us… AI agents are coming for jobs… how to invest ahead of the Agent Supernova
Editor’s Note: Our InvestorPlace offices are closed tomorrow for Good Friday.
If you need assistance from our Customer Service team, they’ll be happy to assist you when we re-open Monday.
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend!
As I write on Thursday morning, stocks are doing something we’ve grown accustomed to lately – swinging wildly, keeping us guessing about what’s coming next.
Behind the volatility is President Donald Trump and his address to the nation last night about the situation in Iran. The short version: we’re winning – but expect another two to three weeks of heavy fighting.
Markets were hoping for an exit ramp. Instead, they got a near-term timeline for continued fighting with no detailed ceasefire framework or reopening plan for the Strait of Hormuz.
Stocks opened sharply lower on the news, rallied back to flat, and are now bouncing around. Oil has jumped – both West Texas Intermediate Crude and Brent trade above $105 a barrel, though both are off their morning highs.
Overall, it’s one of those sessions where the close is anyone’s guess.
Given that we covered the Iran war’s market implications in yesterday’s Digest, let’s shift gears and take a closer look at a data point that came out yesterday that got a bit lost in the excitement.
What did we learn from the ADP jobs report?
ADP’s March private payrolls report came in yesterday at 62,000 – ahead of the Wall Street forecast of 39,000 and roughly in line with February’s upwardly revised total. On the surface, that’s a decent number.
But dig one layer deeper, and the picture gets a lot less comfortable.
Two sectors – education and health services, and construction – accounted for nearly all the gains, contributing 58,000 and 30,000 jobs respectively. Meanwhile, trade, transportation and utilities shed 58,000 workers. Manufacturing lost another 11,000. And large firms, those with 500 or more employees, actually reported a net decline.
In other words, the headline number is doing a lot of heavy lifting to cover up what is really a two-cylinder jobs engine.
ADP’s chief economist, Nela Richardson, put it plainly:
We’ve seen two consecutive months of pretty steady job growth, but most of it has been in health care. That’s really the story.
Health care is transforming the labor market.
One sector carrying the labor market is not a sign of broad-based strength. It is a sign of narrow resilience – and narrow resilience has a way of becoming a problem when that one sector hits a speed bump.
We’ll get the official verdict soon. The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its March Employment Situation report tomorrow morning. Wall Street’s consensus is for 57,000 nonfarm payrolls – a bounce from February’s ugly 92,000 job loss, but still well below the pre-tariff monthly average of roughly 180,000.
One wrinkle worth noting: the stock market will be closed tomorrow for Good Friday. Whatever that number says – good, bad or ugly – investors won’t be able to react until Monday. It could make for an interesting weekend and Monday morning session.

Hottest stock in Silicon Valley about to go public (get in for under $10)
You’re running out of time to claim your pre-IPO stake in what many expect will become the hottest stock in Silicon Valley. And if you wait until the official announcement comes… you will almost certainly miss out on the biggest potential gains. Click here for the full story, and see – for FREE – the ticker you can use immediately to make your move.
But the real threat won’t show up in tomorrow’s labor report
Even if tomorrow’s jobs report beats expectations, the structural backdrop for the labor market is shifting in ways that a single month of payroll data simply cannot capture. Let’s talk about why.
First, a quick primer on a term you’re going to hear a lot more of: AI agents.
An AI agent isn’t just a chatbot you type questions into. It’s a software program that can take actions on your behalf – autonomously, without you guiding each step. It can browse the web, send emails, book appointments, manage files, execute transactions and coordinate with other AI agents, all while you’re doing something else entirely.
Think of it less like a calculator and more like a tireless digital employee who never sleeps, never calls in sick and can be cloned infinitely at almost no cost.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang put it bluntly at his company’s GPU Technology Conference last month: one engineer with an army of AI agents at their disposal should be ten times more productive than one without. The math on what that means for headcount isn’t complicated.
Goldman Sachs estimates AI could automate tasks accounting for 25% of all U.S. work hours, projecting that 6% to 7% of jobs will be displaced over the adoption period.
Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle – one of the largest stablecoin issuers in the world – was direct about where this is headed when speaking at the Economic Club of New York last month:
AI agents will replace a huge percentage of work that’s currently performed by humans on a massive scale…
It’s going to be most dramatic in white-collar work.
Regular Digest readers will recall the Citrini Research scenario we covered in our February 26 issue – the self-reinforcing loop where AI capabilities improve… companies need fewer workers… displaced workers spend less… and the ensuing margin pressure pushes firms to invest even more in AI. Rinse and repeat.
Increasingly, that’s appearing as a real risk.
Take the story we covered in yesterday’s Digest, Oracle’s mass layoffs. They’re affecting potentially 20,000 to 30,000 workers at a company that just posted a 95% jump in net income. This is the Citrini loop in motion.
Bottom line: Tomorrow’s labor market data will tell us what happened with jobs in March. But the dynamic above tells us what’s coming this decade.
How to invest ahead of the coming Agent Supernova
The structural shift playing out above has a name – at least in the pages of Money & Megatrends.
Brian Hunt, editor of this free daily e-letter, calls it the “Agent Supernova” – and he’s spent the past two weeks laying out exactly what it means for investors.
Here’s Brian on the scale of what’s coming:
Within the next two years, the number of AI agents operating in the American economy isn’t poised to increase by 10X… or 50X… or even by 1,000X.
Try at least 100,000X.
This is the coming Agent Supernova. Agents working with people. Agents working with other agents. Agents running businesses. Agents negotiating and haggling with other agents.
To bring this to life, Brian offers a simple illustration. A single restaurant could soon run five specialized agents simultaneously – one managing cooking schedules, one handling accounting, one overseeing staff, one tracking supply orders and one general-purpose agent coordinating all the others.
Now, multiply that model across every business in the economy, and you start to grasp what 100,000X growth in AI agents actually looks like in the real world.
So, how do we invest?
Brian argues that this economic shift runs straight through the semiconductor industry. AI agents don’t live in the cloud alone – they run “at the edge,” inside our phones, cars, homes, offices, hospitals and factories. All of that requires specialized chips built for the job.
One company Brian has his eye on is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
Brian calls AMD one of the safest bets on the agentic wave. While Nvidia (NVDA)still dominates in GPUs, AMD has carved out nearly 40% market share in the CPU space – deeply embedded with hyperscalers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. As agentic AI shifts the compute mix toward CPUs alongside GPUs, AMD’s positioning looks increasingly strategic.
Brian has three more semiconductor names he’s watching in this space. To get those picks totally free – along with his full Agent Supernova investment thesis – sign up for Money & Megatrends here.
So, where does all this leave us?
This week’s ADP jobs number was decent. And Friday’s official labor report may well be “decent” too.
But “decent” is doing a lot of work in a labor market where two sectors are carrying everyone else, monthly payroll growth is running at roughly a third of its pre-tariff pace and the most powerful tech companies on earth are openly planning for a workforce where digital employees dwarf human ones.
The question for investors isn’t whether the March jobs number looks okay. It’s whether you’re positioned for the swarm of AI agents that will be coming after “okay.”
We’ll keep tracking these stories here in the Digest.
Have a good evening,
Jeff Remsburg

Must Read: The Bigger Story Behind March’s Market Selloff
The Bigger Story Behind March’s Market Selloff
Things rarely play out exactly how we expect.
Consider this year’s NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball tournament. The term March Madness certainly applied this year. In fact, there were so many “upsets,” with lower-seeded teams defeating higher-seeded teams, that only about 14,000 perfect brackets existed after the first round.
Of the 26-36 million NCAA men’s tournament brackets people filled out on major web platforms, nearly all were busted by the second round after Tennessee defeated Virginia.
If that’s not the perfect illustration of how hard it is to guess everything right, I don’t know what is, folks.
Of course, this year, there was a lot more than basketball upsets that made March a little “mad”.
The month was full of distractions on Wall Street, which understandably rattled many investors.
But the big one is the war in Iran.
And the market certainly felt it. In March, the Dow fell 5.4%, the S&P 500 dropped 5.1% and the NASDAQ slid 4.8% – and that’s even after a powerful rebound on Tuesday to end the month.
That sharp bounce is important. It tells us that while geopolitical shocks can hit stocks hard in the short run, sentiment can reverse just as quickly when investors begin to see a path forward.
That is why the real risk right now is not just volatility itself. It is letting all this noise distract you from the much bigger story quietly unfolding.
So, in today’s Market 360, I want to show you why the market’s recent March Madness may prove temporary, why investors are already starting to look past the latest Iran headlines – and why a couple of overlooked developments in Elon Musk’s orbit say a lot about where the future is heading.
Let’s dive in.

You’re running out of time to claim your pre-IPO stake in what many expect will become the hottest stock in Silicon Valley. And if you wait until the official announcement comes… you will almost certainly miss out on the biggest potential gains. Click here for the full story, and see – for FREE – the ticker you can use immediately to make your move.
The Big March Distraction: Iran
First, there’s the conflict in Iran.
Tensions in the Middle East reached a tipping point at the beginning of March, with the U.S. and Israel launching coordinated attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, military infrastructure and leadership on February 28. The conflict is now on day 34.
In retaliation, Iran not only launched its own missile strikes but also decided to halt shipments in the Strait of Hormuz, which has significantly impacted global food and energy prices.
Not only that, but the market has also been struggling to keep up as developments keep changing.
You may recall that last week, President Trump paused military action in Iran until April 6. Then, on Monday, Trump threatened to attack Iran’s vital energy resources and infrastructure if a deal isn’t met and the Strait of Hormuz doesn’t reopen.
But now the tone has shifted.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, stocks rebounded strongly as hopes for de-escalation grew, oil prices eased and President Trump signaled that he was prepared to wind down the conflict.
In other words, the situation remains fluid. But the market’s response is a reminder that headline-driven fear can reverse in a hurry when investors begin to sense an off-ramp.
While the rebound was a good thing, uncertainty remains high and energy prices are feeling the heat.
The Strait of Hormuz closure has pushed West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil to $100 per barrel, though both have pulled back from their recent highs as investors bet the conflict may not drag on indefinitely.
Even when a ceasefire is negotiated and the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, it will take months for energy shipments to resume to pre-war levels. About one-third of the world’s seaborne fertilizer trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and the resulting shortage will keep global food prices elevated.
So, food and energy inflation are anticipated to persist for several months.
The Problem With Distractions, and the Bigger Story…
Now, there are a couple of problems with these distractions. One is that they impede U.S. GDP growth.
Geopolitical shocks like this can interrupt economic momentum. They can push up energy costs, weigh on sentiment and make it harder for businesses – and investors – to plan with confidence.
The Atlanta Fed has already cut its first-quarter GDP estimate to a 2.0% annual pace, down from 2.8% on March 18 and 3.2% on March 5.
So, you might be wondering what happened to my prediction for 5% GDP growth this year. (I predicted this in early January, and by not even halfway through the month, signs pointed to it coming true.)
I still believe the U.S. economy has the potential to reaccelerate meaningfully once this latest wave of uncertainty fades. But in the short run, wars, energy shocks and Washington drama can all get in the way.
The second problem is how all of this complicates the path to lower interest rates.
Two weeks ago, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted 11-1 to keep the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.5%-3.75%. Surging energy prices, inflation fears and geopolitical concerns clearly played a role in the FOMC’s decision.
In fact, instead of saying that the war-related inflation would be temporary, the FOMC chose to say, “the implications of the developments in the Middle East for the U.S. economy are uncertain.”
Now, you may know that the Federal Reserve and other global central banks like to ignore food and energy inflation. Their favorite inflation indicator is core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which excludes food and energy. We’ll get a look at this next Thursday.
Despite the food and energy inflation caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure, I expect global central banks to cut key interest rates in the coming months to stimulate their respective economies. The Fed should join the global rate-cutting parade in May, when Kevin Warsh takes over as the new Fed Chair.
Once key interest rate cuts start and uncertainty fades, 5% annual GDP growth should materialize – as soon as the second quarter.
Don’t Head for the Bench
Now, it’s clear that recent distractions have caused many investors to call “time out” and head for the sidelines.
But I want to urge you to resist that impulse.
One thing I’ve learned in my decades on Wall Street is that you have to keep your head in the game. The second is that it pays to be an optimist.
For example, while Wall Street was glued to every new development out of Iran, one story reminds us of the bigger picture.
Yesterday, SpaceX filed confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). Some estimates value the company at roughly $1.5 trillion, making it the largest IPO in history.
Think about what that means. Even with war headlines dominating the news, America’s innovation machine is still moving forward.
That is the bigger story.
What You Can Do to Profit
I remain convinced that 2026 will be one of our best-performing years in decades!
Because what’s driving this recent volatility is temporary, and it’s distracting investors from where real growth is coming from.
Just look at what Elon Musk has been up to, for example.
Between xAI, SpaceX and the broader buildout now unfolding around artificial intelligence, data centers and next-generation infrastructure, it is clear that the world’s biggest players are not pulling back. They are accelerating.
And that is why I believe investors should pay very close attention to what Elon Musk is setting in motion right now…
Between xAI, SpaceX and the broader infrastructure boom unfolding around artificial intelligence, I believe his latest moves are pointing to where some of the biggest opportunities of 2026 may emerge.
That’s why I recently put together a special presentation explaining what’s driving this shift, why Wall Street may still be underestimating it and the companies I believe are positioned to profit most as it unfolds.

When Oil Rips, Markets Slip
Thursday, April 2, 2026
$29 is all it takes to start trading DON-DTE.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Don Kaufman goes live at the open to trade the 3-day 0DTE reset now built into Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet.
No alerts. No replays. You’re inside the process as same-day setups like XSP +171%, MSFT +95%, and IWM +206% take shape in real time.
The 7 biggest stocks in America reset 3 times a week now. Most traders haven’t caught up yet.
Don here…
Oil just ripped 11% overnight and closed at $111. That single data point makes me unable to get bullish on this market by any stretch.
We are heading into a three-day weekend with gasoline prices about to explode. Five and six dollar a gallon gas triggers what traders call demand destruction, and it will crush economic activity almost overnight.
The S&P 500 had a textbook rip-your-face-off rally this week. The index moved almost exactly 195 points to the upside, landing right on the upper edge of the weekly expected move.
That kind of precision matters. Zero DTE options are forcing the market into these expected moves with staggering efficiency.
SPX alone traded nearly five million contracts today. Add in the Spiders at 12 million and QQQ at six million, and those three products accounted for roughly a third of the entire options market.
Nothing else even traded.
The rally looks impressive on the surface. Underneath, the signals are flashing red.
Volatility futures are still bid heading into a holiday weekend. That almost never happens. The VIX term structure remains in steep backwardation, meaning the market is pricing more risk in the next 13 days than the next 47.
Here is what I covered in tonight’s video:
- Oil at $111 is no longer a US problem. It is a global demand destruction event that will show up in inflation prints across every sector.
- Private credit firm Blue Owl saw a 41% redemption request on roughly $33 billion in assets. They froze redemptions at 5%, and the contagion is now spreading to their technology fund.
- Blackstone is down about 30%. BlackRock and KKR are under duress. The private credit stress is bleeding into junk bonds and regional banks like KRE.
- NVIDIA has gone nowhere for almost a year. Meta is flat. Microsoft is approaching three-year lows. Tech was already broken before geopolitics kicked in.
- Next week’s expected move is $170. If you get up moves, short into them. If you get big down moves, keep your hands inside the vehicle and use defined risk.
Even if the geopolitical situation resolves over the weekend, the structural problems remain. Private credit redemptions, stalled mega-cap tech, and $111 oil do not disappear with a ceasefire.
This is far from over.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
