Trump's Endgame? (R.I.P. China)

Dear Reader,   If you want to know Trump's endgame with the trade war…   Take a look inside this factory on the edge of Silicon Valley. Right now, it's ground zero for a bold experiment.   One involving a strange new technology that could ignite a $12 trillion manufacturing revolution…   And hand early investors a shot at once-in-a-generation gains.   I call it Trump's "New Golden Age" Tech…   Because it could finally let him steal the manufacturing crown from China.   NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, calls this technology "the next multi-trillion-dollar industry."   And Elon Musk put it even more bluntly:   "If you've got [Trump's 'New Golden Age' Tech], there is no meaningful limit to the size of the economy."   I've put together a short report showing how you could get in on the ground floor…   But, please, don't wait…   The biggest gains could vanish the moment the world catches on.   Click here to see the full story.   Regards,   Jeff Brown Founder & CEO, Brownstone Research Advertising Disclosure: This email contains paid advertisements.

Please, Don't Skip Tuesday's 'Prediction 2026' Event Dear Reader, Please... reserve your spot for Tuesday's big event. 5 Wall Street legends have endorsed a new form of "magic calendar" investing. And why it could double your portfolio this year, which the creator saw 13 different times back in 2025 on his official picks. If you're a client at the world's most successful hedge fund, then forget it. You don't need Tuesday's event. But for everyone else, this is the closest you'll get to a secret pioneered by a fund that has turned every $100 since inception into $2.1 million. If you don't reserve your spot now, here's what you'll miss: You won't get the 2 free recommendations on Tuesday – which comes from a fintech genius whose free pick the last time he held an event like this could have made you a 287% gain in 29 days. You won't see a startling prediction for Jan. 28, which could cost you a great deal in lost potential if it comes true this month. Frankly, Tuesday's event could be "the financial answer" you're looking for. It features Keith Kaplan, whose newest breakthrough has crushed the market by nearly 4-fold in backtests and disproved a 162-year-old finance theory. His firm's work helps users track $29 billion, for good reason. Their algorithms have nailed many of the market's biggest recent moves. He called last year's crash (and rally) 3 months before it unfolded. And now, on Tuesday, Jan. 20, he's sharing the culmination of his career. In short: Many popular stocks could soon see a nasty reversal, while a first-of-its-kind calendar could help you double your portfolio this year. At 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20… He's holding a livestream supported by 5 Wall Street legends to give you the full details, including 2 recommendations. Maybe you've seen our emails about this... maybe you haven't. Either way, today is your last best chance to get positioned for a historic shift in how most people could see the biggest profits over the next 6 to 12 months, and avoid the biggest losses. So please, even if you're busy on Tuesday morning… And even if Keith's message doesn't interest you… At least reserve your seat for Tuesday's 10 a.m. ET event so that you'll receive the free picks and a full written briefing to skim. Yours in smart speculation, Stephen Prior, Publisher Monument Traders Alliance P.S. If nothing else, get the 2 free recommendations at 10 a.m. ET Tuesday. One involves an AI stock with a 93% history of soaring, beginning days from now. The sooner you act, the greater the profit potential. Both stock tickers will be posted right here at 10 a.m. ET Tuesday. Monument Traders Alliance, LLC You are receiving this email because you subscribed to Monument Traders Alliance Alerts.

Did Trump Just Destroy the Silver Trade?

Plus, why Amazon is scrambling for copper...

Did Trump Just Destroy the Silver Trade? VIEW IN BROWSER By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily In This Digest: What Amazon’s big copper deal tells us Semiconductors are white hot, and the Chaikin Flash Portfolio is hotter Trump may have just popped the silver bubble The top themes emerging on the Predictive Alpha leaderboard A seasonal signal to take advantage of Your last opportunity to test drive TradeSmith’s most popular software for free Amazon is scrambling for copper… News broke Thursday that Amazon.com (AMZN) is partnering with Nuton Technologies, a private venture by British-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto (RIO). As part of the deal, Amazon will secure copper supply from Nuton to build data centers for its cloud-computing division Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS already operates one of the largest global data-center footprints on Earth. Now, AI is dramatically increasing the amount of compute power, electricity, and infrastructure those facilities need. And that requires lots of copper to handle those massive electrical loads — from power delivery to internal wiring and cooling systems. You may not think of Amazon as an AI stock. It’s more closely linked in most folks’ minds with those brown boxes on your doorstep, Ring doorbells, and Alexa speakers. But this story shows that Amazon sits at the center of the AI boom. And it’s becoming more and more clear that materials and energy are the top AI trade of the moment. Remember that tech titans Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) all secured long-term nuclear energy contracts last year. And even back in 2022, Tesla (TSLA) partnered with both Talon Metals for nickel supply and Piedmont Lithium for a steady supply of lithium – both key ingredients for the large batteries that power Tesla’s EVs. Not to mention the supply crunch going on in computer components right now. That’s sent the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) up more than 7.2% year-to-date, vs. a mere 1.26% gain for the Nasdaq 100 tech index. Recommended Link 5 Wall St. Legends Join Historic Event Tomorrow Tomorrow at 10 am ET, fintech genius Keith Kaplan unveils a breakthrough new system that could double your portfolio during a colossal “divide” coming to U.S. stocks this year. A new way to spot the biggest jumps on 5,000 stocks, BEFORE they occur, with 83% backtested accuracy. Including 2 free picks in a major event backed by five Wall Street legends. Click here to reserve your spot now. And the first five trades of our newly introduced Chaikin Flash Portfolio are all semi stocks… Not because we were so brilliant as to pick them. But because TradeSmith’s master algorithm did. In one of our newest trading strategies, TradeSmith scans for bullish patterns among the Nasdaq 100 stocks using our new Short-Term Health signal and Marc Chaikin’s Power Gauge. Then, a proprietary machine learning system narrows it down to five stocks that, together, strike the right balance of risk and reward. We call it the Chaikin Flash Portfolio. For the initial five picks we released on Jan. 5, the algorithm happened to select high-momentum semi stocks. And that was the right call. As I write, the portfolio as a whole is already up 12.4%. Out of respect for the Chaikin Flash Portfolio subscribers, I won’t reveal the names of the stocks here. And they’re all above our recommended buy range anyway. But if you’re not subscribed, keep an eye out for if and when we open membership again. Meanwhile, in the silver market, Trump may have just popped the bubble… In comments on Friday, Trump shifted the odds in the battle for the next Fed Chair considerably by suggesting he’s dropping one top contender: Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council. Bloomberg offers us the Trump quote on this: “I actually want to keep you where you are, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told Hassett during a White House event. “If I move him, these Fed guys — certainly the one we have now — they don’t talk much. I would lose you. It’s a serious concern to me.” In an instant, the odds that the “other Kevin,” Kevin Warsh, would lead the Fed shot up to 60%: That likely settles at least one piece of the “Warsh + No Tariffs” portfolio we designed last week. (The Supreme Court decision is still pending and didn’t release last Wednesday as many anticipated.) Now we can speculate that we’re going to get a more hawkish and deliberate Fed policymaker than previously thought. Kevin Warsh is a former Fed governor and isn’t seen to be as likely to cut rates at the same pace as Kevin Hassett… who currently has Trump’s ear in the White House. That speculation is creating knock-on effects. For one, the dollar reversed its earlier losses and continued its 2026 surge, now up more than 1% against a basket of other major currencies. And for two, silver – which has seen its price surge more than 20% this year – took a bath. It fell by about 3.5%, its worst decline since it fell by 9% on December 29. After all, if Fed policy is going to be more measured, that’s good news for the dollar. It means the Fed is less likely to risk inflation by slashing rates lower – which would make hard assets like silver attractive. It’s far too early to tell if this is just a bump in the road for silver or the beginning of a nastier decline. But we should keep in mind the warning signs that Alpha Signals editor Lucas Downey found last week. As he wrote last Sunday: Since 2006, whenever SLV has reached an 85+ [on its Relative Strength Index (RSI)], the ETF has seen: One-month average returns of -7.9% Three-month returns of -5.9% Six-month returns of -9.9% 12-month returns of -15.1% Bottom line – silver has rarely been higher after cresting such a strongly overbought level – and slower rate cuts are unlikely to help. Here are the top themes emerging in Predictive Alpha… Predictive Alpha is TradeSmith’s AI-based forecasting tool. Think of it like a “Large Numbers Model” rather than a “Large Language Model” like ChatGPT. Instead of guessing the next likely word in a sequence, Predictive Alpha guesses the next number. It does this by factoring in both recent and historical price momentum, along with other factors that are closely guarded secrets in our firm. I make a habit of watching the top Predictive Alpha forecasts by both potential gain and historical win rate. We find that the top forecasts tend to give you a good idea of what’s trending in the markets better than the headlines. I ran a screen for the top 10 bullish forecasts in Predictive Alpha across the S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 400 mid-cap indexes right now. Check this out… It’s a laundry list of stocks in exactly the industries we’ve been talking about lately: Precious metals mining company Hecla (HL) is right at the top, with a forecasted move of 15.8% by Feb. 17. Following that is lithium producer Albemarle (ALB)… Industrial semiconductor firm MKS… and digital storage company Western Digital (WDC). Energy storage company EnerSys (ENS), networking and data center company Coherent (COHR), and industrial materials company Hexcel (HXL) also all appear on the top. In other words, the top AI-based forecasts are in semiconductors, batteries, the materials required to make them, and the precious metals in a big boom right now. Take note and plan accordingly. And at least one of these is on a strong seasonal signal right now… Take a look at the Seasonality chart of MKSI. Just last week, on Jan. 13, it entered a new Seasonal Green Zone window: That window has seen MKSI higher in 13 of the past 15 years… and accounting for both wins and losses, it was up 4.8% on average. This seasonal signal just gives another layer of data to back up the trade in semiconductors. The beauty of it is – you can get these signals on pretty much any stock you want. Plus, indexes, ETFs… you name it. Go here to see exact times of year when your stock tends to shoot up -- year after year. We’re opening up free access to our seasonality tool when you register for our webinar on Tuesday, Jan. 20: Prediction 2026. See, a cycle is kicking off this year that requires a much more nimble approach to investing… And, beginning Jan. 28, we expect traders will see the year’s biggest money-making opportunity – if you apply our system to turn a chaotic market in 2026 to your advantage. We’re launching a powerful new feature that does exactly that. Click here to unlock free access to our seasonality tool and save your spot for our Prediction 2026.

Cracking the Code of the Market’s Seasonal Cycles

Cracking the Code of the Market’s Seasonal Cycles Editor’s Note: Long before modern markets existed, humans learned that survival depended less on predicting events — and more on knowing when they were likely to occur. From ancient calendars to monuments like Stonehenge, civilizations have always searched for repeating cycles that made an uncertain world more navigable. Today, investors face a different kind of uncertainty — geopolitical shocks, policy shifts, and rapid technological change — but the underlying challenge is the same: timing. In this essay, TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan shows how the stock market still follows seasonal rhythms that most investors overlook. Using decades of data and powerful analytics, he reveals how specific times of year have quietly shaped stock returns — regardless of headlines or market sentiment. As 2026 begins, this perspective offers a rare advantage: a way to focus less on noise, and more on the hidden patterns that have been there all along. If you’re interested in learning more about these hidden patterns, I’d encourage you to sign up for Keith’s Prediction 2026 event on Tuesday, January 20th. During the event, Keith will walk you through his proven seasonality strategy – and the key software he uses to stay one step ahead of a volatile market. You won’t want to miss it! Make sure to read on for more of Keith’s insights on the stock market’s most powerful, repeatable patterns… Human progress didn’t start with better tools. It started with better timing. Early humans paid close attention to repeating patterns in nature – the length of days, the return of floods, the timing of animal migrations. Those observations gave rise to the first calendars – sometimes recorded in stone and often anchored to the predictable cycles of the sun, moon, and stars. This helped early farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops, and helped hunters know when herds would pass through a region. These cycles didn’t explain why things happened. They explained when things happened. And that knowledge was enough to plan around. And when it comes to humanity’s long fascination with cycles, few monuments are as widely studied as Stonehenge in southern England. Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument near Salisbury in southern England Built about 4,500 years ago in several phases, Stonehenge is among the best-known prehistoric monuments. One enduring theory about Stonehenge rests on its alignment. Its main axis points toward the sunrise on the summer solstice. That’s led archaeologists to argue that Stonehenge was designed, at least in part, to mark key points in the solar year – signals that would have helped early societies anticipate seasonal change in a world where timing meant survival. Building a monument like this likely required generations of careful observation, tracking the sun’s annual path using little more than fixed landmarks and sightlines. Today, we don’t need to build huge stone structures to detect patterns that can help us thrive. We have more detailed data at our disposal and a lot more analytical power to help us put it all together. At TradeSmith, our mission is to give everyday investors access to the kinds of data and analytics once reserved for hedge funds. That work has led us to uncover a feature of the market that’s often overlooked: seasonality in stock movements. You can’t see these cycles with the naked eye. They only show up after you run decades of data through powerful algorithms to look for them. But once you do, a surprising picture emerges. Thousands of stocks have historically reliable windows – specific times of year when they tend to rise and others when they tend to fall. That includes bull and bear markets, manias and panics, wars, pandemics, and more. And I’m proud to say that, at TradeSmith, we’ve developed cutting-edge software to track those patterns. We’ve also created a rapid-fire trading strategy based on these signals that can pinpoint bullish seasonality windows on 5,000 stocks – to the day. In our backtests, the system’s trades have won with 83% accuracy. You can try it yourself right now to see the “green day” for 5,000 different stocks when you register for our Prediction 2026 event, which airs next Tuesday, January 20, at 10 a.m. Eastern. During that event, we’ll explain exactly how this works, including a new way to apply this secret in a model portfolio that’s turned every $10,000 into $85,700 in our backtests. Then read on for more on the seasonality phenomenon in markets and how, over the last 15 years, some stocks have followed their seasonality windows with 100% historical accuracy. Recommended Link Man Who Called 2025 Crash: “Jan. 20 Will Spark Panic” Beginning days from now, a U.S. government-based pattern ensures a 70% probability of a huge shift in 2026. Stocks could move as much as 20%. But if you understand how this move will take shape and why it’s happening – along with the secret to play it – it’ll open the most lucrative trading opportunity in 21 years. Click here to learn more. Seasonality Affects Markets, Too Commodity traders, for example, have long tracked planting and harvest cycles in crops like corn and wheat. Energy traders watch seasonal demand shifts tied to winter heating and summer cooling. The gold market has recurring seasonal tendencies, often strengthening during certain parts of the year tied to jewelry demand, central bank buying, and annual festivals in India and China. And stock investors have studied phenomena like the January Effect for decades. Even Wall Street’s old saying – “Sell in May and go away” – comes from observed seasonal behavior, not theory. But we’ve discovered that seasonality doesn’t just apply just to commodities and the big stock market index. Every stock has its own seasons to rise or fall – a kind of summer and a kind of winter, too – year after year. Big-box retailer Target (TGT) provides a good example. As one of America’s largest retailers, this stock moves with the rhythms of consumer spending throughout the year. But for all the money won – and lost – on Target over the last few years, there’s one certainty... Between June 22 and July 21, you want to buy the retail bellwether. Target has moved up an average of 5.2% during that summer period, rising 100% of the time over the past 15 years: That’s 15 years of summertime price spikes, starting long before it fell under the pandemic-era spotlight. And in 2025, the pattern held true: Target rose 10.3% during its 29-day seasonally bullish window. The chart you’re seeing above is from one of the breakthrough innovations from TradeSmith’s team of researchers, software engineers, and quant investors: our ground-breaking Trade Cycles Seasonality tool. It’s an easy-to-use tool that can take one of thousands of commonly traded stocks, analyze its movements, and point out its strongest seasonality trends – with starting periods narrowed down to the day. Here’s another example of a strong seasonality pattern, this time in Home Depot (HD): Over the last 15 years, between June 15 to July 27, Home Depot’s share price has risen 93% of the time, with an average return of 4.7%. And in 2025, the pattern held true again. It rose from $349.31 on June 16 to $372.69 on July 28 – a 6.7% gain in a just over a month. A Powerful New System for Seasonal Profits Target and Home Depot are just two examples among many others. Our development team has fine-tuned this tool to uncover seasonality cycles in stocks, stock market indexes like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, as well as in currencies and commodities. By crunching the data and compiling the historical movements of thousands of different assets and running 50,000 tests a day to analyze every stock in the major indexes, we’ve built a new system to help predict the biggest jumps on 5,000 stocks. Over our 18-year backtest, these seasonal trades delivered 857% in total growth. That’s more than twice what the S&P 500 delivered over the same time. Even in 2007, the worst year in our testing, we saw an average gain of 2.5% and an annualized return of 37.9%. That’s close to four times the average annual gain of the S&P 500. The question now: How can we make this powerful system work for you?
