Three times over the last 30 years.

That’s how often I’ve received the signal to go “all-in” on gold.

The first time was back in the 2000s…

The dot-com mania was nearing its peak, money was flooding into any and all tech stocks, and equity valuations were trading at nosebleed levels. 

I was in my mid-20’s. Just starting my first business. 

And although I didn’t have much capital to spare, I scrounged together as much money as I could to load up not on tech stocks… but on gold coins.

At the time, gold was despised by Wall Street.

Goldman Sachs called it “a 19th-century asset.”

One of Merrill Lynch’s top investment analysts said that it was only for “grandmothers and conspiracy theorists.”

And two of America’s leading economists at the time called it a “barren asset.”

Yet, I chose to go in at under $300 an ounce. 

My second signal came in 2008 when, amidst the chaos of the financial crisis, gold prices dropped briefly below $800 an ounce… and I once again went “all-in” on gold.

And a little over a year ago, I did it again… 

I moved roughly 50% of my liquid net worth into gold and Bitcoin:

Three “all-in” decisions… Each of which seemed crazy to most at the time. 

But for me… it was the most obvious move to make. 

Why? 

It’s all thanks to an incredible secret I learned from famed economist Kurt Richebächer – the last of the true Austrian economists.

What he taught me has been incredibly accurate at predicting the price of gold over the years. 

It’s helped me make an absolute killing each of the three times I went “all-in.” 

And right now, it is again predicting a shocking new price for gold in the near future.

3 Stocks Trading Near $5 With Massive Earnings Upside

Authored by Chris Markoch. Article Published: 2/8/2026. 

Summary

• Analysts expect these three stocks trading near $5 to deliver earnings growth of 74% to 150%.
• Each company has a near-term catalyst, including upcoming earnings reports.
• While volatile, these penny stocks offer asymmetric upside for risk-tolerant investors.

Despite mixed results this earnings season, earnings growth is traditionally one of the key drivers of stock price appreciation. For calendar year 2026, FactSet forecasts earnings growth for companies in the S&P 500 of 15% — above the trailing 10-year average of 8.6%. If accurate, that would mark the third consecutive year of double-digit growth.

While earnings forecasts look bullish across the board for 2026, some companies are expected to grow earnings by more than the S&P 500 average. The MarketBeat stock screener is a free tool that can help you screen for factors such as expected earnings growth over the next 12 months.

Gold Crashed 17% in 48 Hours

$5,608 to below $4,700.

Silver dropped 31%. The worst day since 1980.

The media called it “profit-taking.”

I call it what it is: a coordinated ambush.See Why March 31st Changes Everything & Get The Name & Ticker Here >>>

Using that tool, we identified three stocks expected to grow earnings by at least 74%. Better still, each of these stocks trades near $5, meaning they could be classified as penny stocks. These names can be highly volatile, but investors with an appropriate risk tolerance and the time to let the stories play out could find buying at these levels attractive.

Offshore Drilling Recovery Fuels 100% Earnings Growth Outlook

Oil-focused stocks have lagged the broader energy sector for much of the last five years as bouts of oversupply alternated with demand concerns. In 2026, however, conditions look favorable for rising oil prices as demand may begin to test constrained supply.

That is the bullish case for Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG), which provides offshore contract drilling services for the oil and gas industry. Transocean’s fleet is particularly suited for the complex requirements of deepwater drilling.

RIG is up more than 28% over the past 12 months, with much of the recent gain occurring in the last three months. The stock is trading above its consensus price target of $4.55. On Feb. 2, BTIG Research raised its price target to $6 from $5.

Analysts forecast 100% earnings growth for Transocean, following the company’s first profitable quarter in five last November. Transocean reports earnings on Feb. 19, which could confirm the optimistic outlook.

Gold Miner Positioned for a Catch-Up Trade as Earnings Rise

B2Gold Corp. (NYSEAMERICAN: BTG) is the laggard of this group by the metric used here: analysts expect the company to grow earnings by “only” 74%. B2Gold is a junior miner based in British Columbia with operations around the world.

BTG is up 86% over the past 12 months, but mining stocks have generally underperformed the price of gold — a situation that could change in 2026. The recent pullback in gold is unlikely to remove the catalysts that have been pushing precious metals higher, leaving room for a catch-up trade for miners like B2Gold.

Short interest in BTG is not a large percentage of the float but climbed sharply in the 30 days ending Feb. 5 as investors reacted to the sell-off in gold prices.

B2Gold reports earnings on Feb. 18. That event may validate the earnings outlook and help drive the stock higher.

Biotech Penny Stock With 150% Earnings Growth Potential

It’s common for lists of penny stocks with upside to include biotechnology names. One to consider here is Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: IRWD), a commercial-stage biotech focused on treatments for gastrointestinal disorders.

At first glance, IRWD might look like a poor choice since it trades roughly 20% above its consensus price target. However, that target likely does not account for the company’s updated January revenue guidance.

The company raised its top-line guidance by 40%, which prompted several meaningful price-target increases.

Ironwood still needs to execute — a key drug is entering a Phase 3 trial this year — but analysts forecast 150% earnings growth over the next 12 months, suggesting the stock may be significantly undervalued if the company meets expectations.
