Dear Reader,

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over three decades of investing, it’s this:

What you don’t own matters just as much as what you do.

That’s why I’ve always been drawn to the idea of “upgrading” your portfolio — replacing overhyped or outdated names with stronger, lesser-known opportunities.

It’s the thinking behind a strategy I’ve come to rely on…

One I call “Sell This, Buy That.”

I’ve used it for years to show my followers how to move out of big name, well-loved stocks that are on the verge of melting down… and into ones with the potential to deliver serious upside.

It’s the strategy that helped me win the Portfolios with Purpose investing competition… beating out some of the most respected names on Wall Street and outperforming the market by more than 10-fold.

And it’s the same kind of thinking that’s helped me build a long-term track record — including 41 recommendations that have gone on to return 1,000% or more.

I’ve put together a brand-new presentation where I walk through some of my latest “Sell This, Buy That” pair trades that you can view today at no cost.

These calls are a little contrarian… I’ll be the first to admit that.

But if you’re open to viewing the markets through a different lens, here’s a quick preview of what I’m recommending today:

SELL Amazon. BUY [Click to Reveal]
SELL Bank of America. BUY [Click to Reveal]

Which Mining Firms Are Striking It Rich in the Metals Rally?

Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Originally Published: 2/6/2026. 

At a Glance

• Despite a sell-off that shed trillions of dollars worth of market value in just a few days, gold remains one of the best-performing investments in the last year.
• Companies in the business of mining gold and other precious metals, such as Hecla Mining, Coeur Mining, and Kinross Gold, have all experienced massive share price rallies alongside the movement in the price of gold itself.
• These three firms could stand out for their focus on expansion, their acquisitions, or their history of strong shareholder returns, among other factors.

Despite falling more than $600 from its all-time high of roughly $5,600 per ounce in late January, gold remains one of investors’ hottest buys in 2026. The swift sell-off that followed President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve chair wiped away trillions of dollars in market value in days. Still, many investors expect the rally to resume unless the underlying drivers of the precious-metals surge change materially.

When gold climbs, the share prices of many companies that produce the metal often rise as well. Gold mining stocks have done particularly well over the past year: the rough benchmark of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA: GDX) has returned about 147% in the last 12 months. A few names in the gold-mining sector especially stand out for investors who expect further gains in the months ahead.

A Dual Silver-Gold Play With Strong Fundamentals

Executive Order 14330: Trump’s Biggest Yet (Ad)

While President Trump’s official salary is $400,000 per year… his tax returns reveal he’s been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn’t touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed.

Hecla Mining Co. (NYSE: HL) operates as both a gold and silver miner, with assets in Alaska, Idaho and internationally. Its silver operations are increasingly a priority, and the broader precious-metals rally has helped push HL shares roughly 300% higher over the past year, even after a late-January pullback.

Although investors often view Hecla primarily as a silver miner, gold still accounted for 37% of the $410 million in revenue the company reported in the most recent quarter. That revenue was supported by consolidated free cash flow of about $90 million. Hecla has been reducing debt, bringing net leverage down to roughly 0.3x in the third quarter of 2025, which bolsters its balance sheet if silver and gold prices languish before the rally restarts.

Most importantly, Hecla’s assets have been performing well—each of its four mines generated positive free cash flow for two consecutive quarters. Risks remain, particularly around costs, but the company has so far balanced disciplined finances with production growth.

Major Merger Could Be Transformative for Coeur

At a time when many miners are looking to ride the metals rally through expansion, Coeur Mining Inc. (NYSE: CDE) is taking an M&A-focused approach. The company is acquiring New Gold in a deal expected to close in the first half of the year. Once complete, Coeur will operate seven mines across North America and is projected to produce roughly 1.25 million gold-equivalent ounces in 2026.

Coeur is supporting that growth by improving cash flow. The firm slightly missed EPS in the most recent quarter, but the expected boost from the New Gold acquisition has helped CDE shares roughly triple over the past year and has kept analyst interest high. Coeur maintains a solid Buy rating across Wall Street, even while trading slightly above the consensus price target of about $18 per share.

Solid Operations and an Attractive Shareholder Return Program

Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) has also gained from the rally while maintaining operational strength as a senior gold producer.

In the third quarter of 2025, Kinross produced more than 500,000 ounces of gold and generated record free cash flow of about $687 million. That stronger cash position has supported shareholder returns through both stock buybacks and an increase to its dividend.

Kinross’s portfolio of mining assets continues to develop as the company advances several new sites through engineering and permitting. Those developments—and the company’s operational results—have made it a favorite among many analysts, even as shares have climbed roughly 185% over the past year.
