→ Biden once said, “China is not our enemy.”

→ Obama said China needs to “succeed and prosper” as it’s “good for the U.S.”

→ And Bernie Sanders once hailed China for doing more for capitalism “than any country in the history of civilization.”

So why are these Xi Jinping cheerleaders now stone silent after a damning 60 Minutes investigation concluded:

“China could use U.S. farmland to attack America”?

You see, Communist China now owns “large tracts of land, especially close to sensitive U.S. military and government facilities” across the nation…

Including just a few minutes down the road from a USAF base that Senator Tom Cotton calls “the backbone of all U.S. military communications across the globe.”

And when interviewed about why foreign actors have now seized 45 million acres of our agricultural land…

Former national security official David Feith confessed to CBS’ 60 Minutes:

“It’s an entirely new way of war.”

One where Communist China and its dollar-hating BRICS allies manipulate crop prices…

Choke off our food supply…

And grind down the middle class with a falling dollar…

And all that before a shot is ever fired.

And for those of us who swore never to live under the boot of communist tyrants…

President Trump’s IRS is allowing patriots like you to access this little-known IRS Loophole… >>

So you can protect your retirement from China’s economic warfare by moving part of your savings into physical gold.

Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio is on record saying, “Gold is the money that is least at risk of being devalued”…

Monday’s Exclusive Story

Can’t Choose Between Silver and Gold? These ETFs Hold Both

Reported by Jordan Chussler. Originally Published: 1/19/2026. 

At a Glance

• The precious metals rally that began in 2024 has carried into 2026, with gold gaining 70% over the past year and silver gaining 194%.
• Those rallies have continued into the new year, with some ETFs providing exposure to both precious metals. 
• GLTR and GBUG hold both gold and silver and have posted one-year gains of 108% and 138%, respectively.

The precious-metals rally that began in 2024 has carried into 2026. Over the past year, gold has gained more than 70% while silver has surged more than 194%.

Global catalysts helped drive gold’s advance, including ongoing geopolitical conflict, renewed buying from central banks and institutional investors, and concerns about monetary policy and mounting fiscal deficits.

Wall Street ‘Sleeper Stock’ Could Become #1 Stock of 2026 (Ad)

Wall Street veteran reveals #1 investment trend of 2026 (not AI)

Will you potentially make money or lose money in the U.S. stock market in 2026? According to the 50-year Wall Street legend who invented one of Wall Street’s most popular buying and selling indicators – the answer has nothing to do with AI, quantum computing, or cryptos. Instead, it all comes down to the #1 stock he recommends you BUY now…And the #1 stock he recommends you SELL now.

Domestically, President Donald Trump’s policies also contributed to gold’s gains, as equity markets experienced heightened volatility and the U.S. dollar weakened—losing about 10% of its value during his first year back in office.

Silver, by contrast, has seen its price spike because the metal is facing a multi-year deficit: recent demand has far outpaced supply. This deficit is amplified by silver’s many industrial uses, from photovoltaic cells in solar panels and catalytic converters to water purification systems and aerospace thermal-control components.

For investors, choosing between the two while navigating the materials sector and its mining industry can be complicated. Fortunately, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer exposure to both silver and gold, allowing shareholders to position themselves for what could be another strong year for precious metals.

Precious Metals Look to Build on 2025’s Record Gains

While stocks have historically outperformed other asset classes over the past 50 years, commodities—specifically precious metals—have surged recently, outpacing the S&P 500’s returns.

In December 2025, the World Gold Council reported that gold set 53 record prices in 2025 as “global investors poured unprecedented capital into physically backed gold ETFs. Annual inflows surged to $89 billion, the largest on record as the gold price delivered its strongest performance since 1979.”

The World Gold Council added that global gold ETFs’ assets under management doubled to an all-time high of $559 billion last year. Meanwhile, the Silver Institute reported that in the first half of last year, inflows into silver ETFs already surpassed 2024’s full-year totals.

Looking ahead, Daniel Oliver, managing member of Myrmikan Capital, suggests it isn’t too late for investors who missed the rally over the past two years. In a research note published on Jan. 15, Oliver wrote that when gold makes prolific runs—like the one in 2025—it typically comes at the start of a new bull cycle.

He added that “the Fed has lost its leverage. Credit will continue to decay. The deficit will not be reduced in nominal terms. The dollar cannot recover its former glory. Gold will trade higher, though with increasing volatility. Gold miners will not see significant margin compression. We think 2025 was the start of a multi-year bull market.”

Meanwhile, several analysts have projected that silver could reach $100 per ounce in 2026, roughly 9% above its current trading level.

For investors unsure whether to add gold or silver to their portfolios this year, there’s good news: they don’t have to choose. The two ETFs below provide exposure to both metals.

abrdn’s Basket of Physical Precious Metals

Launched on Oct. 22, 2010, the abrdn Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares ETF (NYSEARCA: GLTR) tracks the spot prices of a basket of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Over the past year, GLTR has gained nearly 108%. By weight, the ETF’s allocations are:

• Gold bullion: 57.20% (342,403 shares)
• Silver bullion: 35.05% (12,554,789 shares)
• Palladium bullion: 4.16% (684,813 shares)
• Platinum bullion: 3.59% (45,654 shares)

At 0.60%, its net expense ratio is somewhat elevated for a passively managed fund, but still below the broad precious-metals ETF average of 0.68% and the commodities ETF average of 0.71%.

Notably, Wall Street’s bears have avoided GLTR. Current short interest stands at just 0.64% of the float, or 81,150 shares out of more than 12.7 million shares outstanding. Meanwhile, institutional investors have been net buyers, with inflows of $305.6 million over the past 12 months outpacing outflows of $100.28 million.

Sprott’s Portfolio of Precious-Metal Mining Stocks

As its name implies, the Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (NASDAQ: GBUG) holds a portfolio of some of the best-performing gold and silver mining companies worldwide, with 64.5% of its holdings based in Canada, 8.5% in Australia, and 8.4% in the United States.

Over the past year, the fund has gained nearly 137%. Much of that performance reflects the portfolio’s broad weighting distribution, with no single holding exceeding 4.58% at current allocations.

The ETF carries an aggregate Moderate Buy rating based on 54 analyst ratings of select companies in its portfolio over the past year, including AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) and Newmont (NYSE: NEM), the world’s largest gold miner.

Over the past year, those two stocks alone posted impressive gains of nearly 263% and more than 176%, respectively.
