Dear Subscriber,By Jim Nelson

A shift is happening in the market right now. And there’s a brand-new way for you to take advantage of it.

For the past several years, nearly everything has been touched by AI … your smartphone, customer service, internet searches and more.

But nothing has been more attached to the growth of AI than the stock market.

The Mag 7, which are the best-known leaders in AI, now make up 34.3% of the S&P 500.

Think about that. Out of 500 stocks, only seven control a full one-third of the broad market’s main indicator.

So, when we saw the market whipsaw around this week, that was because of those tech giants.

What was missed by nearly everyone is that there were other stocks that had a great week.

In fact, for the past month, they’ve been on a tear …

While tech stocks have been faltering for the first time since Liberation Day last year, consumer staples, energy stocks and materials have been on a roll.

To put this sharp reversal into perspective, staples were the worst-performing group of the S&P 500 besides real estate over the past five years.

In fact, nearly half of their 32% gains in that half-decade have come in just the past month!

Why is that? Is it just because staples are defensive in nature?

That’s one reason. But that doesn’t explain why gold and silver have been just as erratic as tech stocks over the past eight days.

Gold and silver — while still favored safe havens and part of a larger commodity rally that’s ongoing — should have been the answer to market uncertainty.

But that’s not the case this time. The reason might be that we aren’t asking the right question.

Maybe investors aren’t looking to find safety in and of itself. Afterall, they could just hide their cash under their mattress until the market’s panic dies down.

Instead, they are climbing into consumer staples and energy stocks.

What do these have in common? They are tremendous income investments.

Here are all the S&P 500 sectors’ average dividend yields right now:

The worst-paying industry is no surprise: Information Technology.

The best? Energy … by a mile.

Consumer staples also offer a healthy 2.9% average yield, with many individual companies paying upwards of 5% and 6% right now.

This shift, from exciting AI-driven tech investing to a clear affinity for income-paying stocks, could not be happening at a better time.

On Tuesday, Dr. Martin Weiss will unveil a secret project our researchers have been working on behind the scenes.

It’s now ready. And he’s calling the unveiling event the “Infinite Income Summit.”

I saw a preview. And you will definitely want to see what he has in store.

It’s free to attend as a Weiss Ratings Member. But to get the link before it starts, you’ll need to register here.

It kicks off at 2 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Feb. 10. I hope to see you there.

Your experts are looking forward to it. But they have other ideas to help you grow your money even in this wild market …

Here’s How I Told My Mom to Sell Her Gold & Silver

Nilus Mattive — who I should mention will be a big part of Martin’s new project — is getting asked some interesting questions about gold and silver after the recent volatility … even from his mom.

This Simple Indicator Separates the ‘Buys’ from the ‘Sells’

Director of Ratings and Research Gavin Magor is, of course, the head of the team behind Martin’s new project. So, he’s been looking deeper into income-paying stocks himself. What he found is rather shocking.

Goldman Isn’t Bullish Enough on Gold

Sean Brodrick has not taken his foot off the gas of his golden rocket ship. In fact, after giving you his $10,000 price target for the metal, he thinks even that might be low.

Gold’s Paradigm Shift

The one-day collapse of precious metals a little over a week ago doesn’t represent the end of its historic rally. Bob Czeschin explains why it was more of a paradigm shift.

This Company Takes Center Stage in the New Global Order

Just because tech was not favored this week in the market doesn’t mean you should abandon ship. Michael A. Robinson lays out the case for one specific tech company at the center of a global story.

Have a great weekend!
