The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bush v. Gore, effectively ending the recount in Florida and awarding the presidency to George W. Bush. The Court’s controversial 5-4 decision stopped a manual recount that had been ordered in the state due to voting irregularities.

Gold has been breaking record after record this year…
But these new highs could be the first spark of a much bigger rally.
Don’t let the trade wars distract you…
Don’t get swept up in the frothy “Magnificent Seven”…
My decades on Wall Street taught me to follow the smart money.
And when you’ve got the world’s Central Banks stacking their private vaults with record numbers of gold tons – pay attention.
I’ve just detailed my No. 1 gold stock to buy right now.
It doesn’t have anything to do with options, and it’s not a mining stock or ETF.
Instead, it involves using about $20 of your money to leverage two ounces of pure gold, worth around $8,000 today.
The last time we shared this exact recommendation, some folks had the chance to see a 995% gain.
But I believe the gains for one particular stock are far from over, and there could still be another 1,000% move ahead.
My latest research reveals a quiet initiative in Washington called “The Mar-a-Lago Accord,” which could ignite a gold FRENZY.
In short: A respected institutional adviser predicts gold could jump to around $20,000 an ounce… and one leading currency expert predicts a shocking $27,533 an ounce.
Over half a million people follow my money-making opportunities, but I believe this ONE idea could be the most lucrative in the coming years…
Yet most people have no clue about it.
So today, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you the full story – for free…
Here’s to our health, wealth, and a great retirement,

Hello Peter Anthony Hovis,
Fed Pivots to a “Meeting-by-Meeting” Approach
The verdict is in.
The Federal Reserve announced another 25 basis-point cut, along with the authorization of fresh Treasury bill purchases to expand its reserves.
The Treasury purchasing plan softened the blow when the central bank hinted at a possible pause in the rate-cutting cycle, with an outlook of just one interest rate cut in 2026.
Wall Street waited anxiously for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference, and he suggested that the central bank has done enough to propel the labor market while leaving rates high enough to push inflation down to the 2% target.

Powell talked about how difficult it is to navigate in the current environment. Unemployment moved higher to 4.4% in September — a jump from 4.1% in June. At the same time, the PCE index rose 2.8% in the year through September.
Naturally, the central bank sounded like it was inclined to leave rates unchanged for a while to bring both mandates to their targets.
The Fed also released its quarterly projections, and officials’ median projections showed one cut in 2026, and one in 2027. There’s a big division in the outlook, with seven officials seeing no cuts in 2026, while eight signaled at least two.
(Source: Federal Reserve / Bloomberg)
All in all, it sounded like a slightly hawkish cut.
The Treasury purchasing plan was the key that avoided an outsized reaction by the market. Over the next few months, the Fed will depend on incoming data to make decisions.
Right now, traders will likely look at incoming economic data to try and gauge what the Fed might do in the first half of 2026. And, of course, President Trump’s next Fed Chair pick will play a big role in the market’s outlook on rates.
Down 75% from Highs: Why Trex at $35 Looks Like a Screaming Buy
Today’s Stock Pick: Trex Company, Inc (TREX)
After the Fed’s recent rate cut, the environment is looking better for small-cap stocks that rely on lower rates for a strong business cycle.
Trex is one of them.
It operates in the home improvement industry that relies on lower rates to drive spending activity.
Now, listen: We’re trying to go green in everything. And wood decks would require a lot of trees, which bucks the trend of sustainability.
What’s more, wood decks are painful to maintain.
Wood will rot, warp, and splinter. And you’ll need to paint or stain wood seasonally. And eventually, it will fade due to termites and age. Anybody who owns a wood deck will remember these splinters that can pierce your fingers or feet.
Trex is leading the revolution of using materials that are 95% recycled and reclaimed, like plastic bags, to create high-quality, attractive decks. In fact, they often look better than wood. And best of all, it requires virtually zero maintenance (except for regular cleaning) and lasts for 25+ years.
(Source: Trex)
And you can see how composite materials last longer than wood in the photo below:
As a result, consumers are switching to composite decks more than ever. Composite has about 25% of the market share in decking, as of the most recent quarter. And composite continues to take about 2% share from wood every year.
Trex CEO Bryan Fairbanks believes that composite would eventually hold about 45-50% of the market share*:*
Each 1% market share would add ~$80 million to annual composite sales. Using the average of 2% growth, the composite market could grow by $160 million each year from taking the market share from wood alone.
(Source: Trex)
Cost comparison: Wood is slightly cheaper upfront versus composite deck, but composite wood is two times cheaper to maintain over the 25-year lifecycle.
The long-term comparison is simply a no-brainer in favor of composite deck. It lasts longer and requires far less maintenance.
(Source: Trex)
Best of all, Trex thoroughly dominates this niche in composite decks. The company commands more than 55% of category web traffic through its sites – trex.com and decks.com.
(Source: Trex)
And it won multiple prestigious awards for top products, brand awareness, sustainability, fastest-growing business, and best mid-size companies.
(Source: Trex)
Sure enough, the company grew 101%, which is nearly two times faster than the repair & remodeling market in the same period.
(Source: Trex)
The company sees its 2025 revenue to be at $1.16 billion, which would be almost unchanged from its 2024 full-year revenue. The company is perfectly positioned to grow when the remodeling activity recovers, as the CEO said in the recent earnings call.
The stock is cheap: With its strong financials, dominant market share, and solid growth, Trex’s stock was formerly popular. But due to higher rates, the stock has been beaten down.
The price was at $140 in 2022, and it is now trading at $35 a share.
Its P/E ratio is just 19.
This is a good value since Trex is a rare company that is in the right trend, dominates its niche, and holds pricing power.
Bottom line: The decking industry is going through a massive change, and Trex is at the forefront of this industry. It is known as the “Apple of the composite deck,” where its products are generally accepted as the highest-quality ones in the market. So, this is a high-quality stock.

Power Metallic Mines Inc. (PNP)NF has just released blockbuster results from its Lion Zone at the Nisk Project, including 4.40 meters grading 12.18% copper (14.34% CuEqRec) within 20.40 meters of 2.91% Cu (3.58% CuEqRec). With gold breaking past $4,300 per ounce, silver over $50, and copper and battery metals surging, PNPNF sits at the intersection of booming precious metals and industrial mineral demand. The company’s fully funded 100,000-meter drilling program through 2026 aims to expand high-grade mineralization across Nisk, Lion, and Tiger zones, offering investors rare exposure to ethically sourced polymetallic resources.
Strategically located near Hydro-Québec power, the Nisk Project benefits from low operating costs, shallow deposits, and exceptional potential for carbon sequestration, aligning with green mining initiatives. As global supply constraints tighten and Fed rate cut expectations lift metals markets, PNPNF emerges as a potential North American leader in critical minerals and precious metals. Its high-grade deposits of nickel, copper, cobalt, PGEs, gold, and silver are strategically positioned to supply the green energy revolution while offering diversified exposure for investors. Backed by leading figures in mining and resource development, PNPNF benefits from strategic guidance and credibility in the global minerals market.
This Week’s Featured Article
Reported by Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 12/10/2025.
There are three reasons Casey’s General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY) stock price will likely continue to trend higher despite valuation concerns. The stock isn’t cheap as of late 2025, trading at roughly 33 times its current-year earnings. Still, that price reflects a reliable growth trajectory, which could represent meaningful upside for long-term, buy-and-hold investors.
It is trading at about 10 times its 2035 earnings outlook, implying the potential for roughly 100% upside over the coming years. Below, we explore three reasons investors might expect the stock to trend higher in 2026—growth, cash flow and capital returns, and broad market support.
Trump’s Next Real Estate Deal Could Pay YOU President Trump’s real estate deals have returned as much as 4,800%. That’s enough to turn every $1,000 into $49,000. But his next “real estate deal” is different – and much bigger. It involves federal assets worth an estimated $5.1 trillion. And any American citizen can stake their claim. The mainstream media is largely ignoring this, but a former Trump advisor just went on the record.[GET THE FULL DETAILS HERE]
Casey’s General Stores delivered a solid fiscal second quarter (FQ2), with earnings resultsshowing strength and momentum that are expected to carry through to year-end. Net revenue of $4.51 billion rose 14.2% year-over-year (YOY), slightly ahead of consensus, driven by new-store expansion and comp-store increases. Store count was up 9% YOY and 0.6% year-to-date (YTD), helped by last year’s acquisition of Fike’s.
Strength appeared in both the inside and outside segments, with total inside sales up 13%, inside comps up 3.3%, and fuel-gallon comps up 0.8%.
Within the inside segment, both grocery and prepared foods showed meaningful improvement, including margin expansion.
The company widened its fuel margin, which helped offset higher costs elsewhere and preserve overall profitability versus the prior year. That margin strength contributed to a 17.5% increase in EBITDA, a 14% rise in net income, and GAAP EPS of $0.33.
Notably, the $0.33 EPS was about 630 basis points above MarketBeat’s reported consensus forecast. These results support a stronger full-year profitability outlook, and operating momentum is expected to continue into 2026.
While Casey’s operates with the modest margins typical of the retail sector, its operational efficiency and balance sheet strength allow it to generate substantial free cash flow. In FQ2, positive cash flow helped strengthen the balance sheet, with assets growing faster than liabilities. Total liabilities stood at about 1.25 times equity, and shareholder equity is rising.
Shareholder equity increased roughly 8% YTD even as the company continued to return capital through dividends and buybacks.
Neither the dividend nor the buybacks are aggressive; they are disciplined and consistent. The 0.4% yield as of mid-December represents only about 10% of the earnings forecast and is expected to grow over time. The company is a Dividend Aristocrat and is on track to extend its streak toward 50 years and potential Dividend King status.
Share repurchases have been modest but steady, reducing the share count incrementally each quarter. Investors should note that Casey’s share count rose YOY earlier in the year because the company preserved capital ahead of the acquisition of Fike’s. Buybacks have since resumed, lowered the share count in FQ2, and are expected to continue in 2026.
Beyond the earnings momentum and capital returns, broad market support has been an important tailwind for the stock’s longer-term appreciation. That support shows up in analyst coverage and institutional behavior.
Analysts who rate the stock a Moderate Buy have been nudging up their 2026 price targets, and that trend continued after the FQ2 release.
One notable update was a price-target increase from RBC to $591, above consensus and sufficient to drive a new all-time high. Institutions own roughly 85% of the shares and were net buyers in every quarter of 2026, purchasing about $2 for every $1 sold.

Gold’s Breakout Above $4,000 Sparks a Historic Bull Market — And Scorpio Gold (OTCQB: SRCRF) Could Be at the Center of Nevada’s Next Multi-Million-Ounce Discovery.
Gold’s unprecedented surge past $4,000 per ounce in 2025 has ignited a powerful new bull market in precious metals. With inflation, global uncertainty, and central banks buying at record levels, some analysts now forecast gold could hit $5,000 by 2026.
In this environment, Scorpio Gold Corporation (OTCQB: SRCRF) is emerging as a standout junior explorer — backed by industry titans Ross Beaty and Eric Sprott, who together invested CAD$8 million to accelerate development of Scorpio’s 100%-owned Manhattan District Project in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane Trend, just 15 km south of Kinross Gold’s 15-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine!
Scorpio’s 2025 Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate outlined 740,000 ounces of inferred gold grading 1.26 g/t, marking the first modern resource in this historic district. Combined with several high-grade historical zones totaling 303,949 ounces at 5.89 g/t, and new drill results still to come, the company is poised for significant expansion.
With world-class backers, record-breaking gold prices, and a district-scale asset in America’s premier mining jurisdiction, SRCRF could be one of the biggest breakout stories of this new gold supercycle.
Discover why SRCRF is positioned to lead Nevada’s next great gold rush.

Dear Fellow Investor,
In 2005, a bizarre and tragic incident made global headlines. According to USA Today, 450 sheep in a remote Turkish village jumped to their deaths after falling off a cliff. The cause wasn’t a predator, an earthquake, or a sudden shock.
It was one sheep.
One sheep wandered too close to the drop and fell. Another followed. And suddenly, hundreds—eventually more than 1,500—blindly followed the flock, piling over the cliff’s edge simply because the others were doing it. Many didn’t survive. The ones that did lived only because they landed on the massive pile of wool beneath them.
As odd as this sounds, it’s not a rare occurrence in nature. Herd mentality is a powerful force.
And traders fall for it every day.
Most investors buy because everyone else is buying. They sell because everyone else is selling. They chase headlines, social media hype, and emotional narratives. They jump when the market jumps, panic when the market panics, and often have no idea why they’re taking action at all.
It’s one of the costliest mistakes in all of investing.
Charles Mackay captured this phenomenon more than 180 years ago in his classic, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. He wrote:
“Men… think in herds; they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.”
Even though he wrote those words in 1841, they apply just as much today—arguably more. Markets now move faster, information travels instantly, and fear spreads across screens in milliseconds. The more connected we become, the stronger herd mentality gets.
But here’s the good news: herd mentality is predictable. And if you know how to identify it, you can exploit it—just as some of the world’s most successful investors have done.
The Billionaire Blueprint for Exploiting Fear and Greed
Warren Buffett has repeated one of the most valuable market principles of all time:
“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
Baron Rothschild famously advised investors to “buy when there’s blood in the streets.”
Sir John Templeton, who built one of the world’s most successful global mutual funds, bought stocks at the peak of pessimism—often when markets were in total panic.
Each of these investors made fortunes by identifying moments when the crowd was acting irrationally—and doing the opposite.
But there’s one key difference between their era and ours:
They relied primarily on fundamental analysis—studying earnings, valuations, and economic conditions.
We can combine that with technical analysis, giving us a more precise way to spot major turning points.
And that leads to one of the most profitable patterns in all of trading:
The Excessively Oversold Opportunity.
This is what happens when the herd has sold so aggressively—and so emotionally—that prices fall far below reasonable value. When sentiment collapses, panic replaces logic… and that’s exactly when smart investors step in.

Let’s look at Palantir (PLTR), which recently gave investors a textbook setup.
In early November, fears of an “AI bubble” sent shares tumbling from about $210 down to $147.56—a steep drop driven almost entirely by emotion. There was no collapse in earnings. No loss of major customers. No negative guidance. Just widespread fear that AI stocks had run up “too far, too fast.”
Investors panicked… and sold.
Analysts piled in with gloomy predictions… and more sold.
Momentum traders saw the drop… and sold.
But here’s the irony:
The AI bubble they were terrified of still doesn’t exist. AI adoption is accelerating, not slowing. And the companies powering it—including Palantir—continue to post strong fundamentals.
So what happened next?
As the panic faded, the stock rebounded sharply—rallying to $186.47.
The real question is:
How could investors have spotted this oversold opportunity before the bounce?
The answer lies in four key technical pivot points. Each of these signals helps reveal when fear has reached an extreme:
RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price moves.
When RSI dips to or below 30, a stock is considered “oversold.” Extreme drops toward that line often precede powerful reversals.
MACD shows momentum.
When it dips well below its mean or crosses into deeply negative territory, it signals that selling momentum is overstretched.
This indicator measures overbought/oversold conditions on a scale of 0 to -100.
When it falls below the -80 line, it indicates oversold conditions.
Like Williams’ %R, this is another momentum indicator.
When Full Stochastics dip below 20, selling pressure is approaching extreme levels.
Now here’s where it gets interesting.
When all four indicators reach these oversold lines at the same time, it’s often a major turning point.

Around November 21, every one of these indicators flashed oversold:
Even more important: when you zoom out and view these indicators across one or two years of price action, a clear pattern emerges.
Each time all four indicators hit extreme oversold levels simultaneously… PLTR bounced.
This is the power of studying the herd.
This is how you identify irrational selling.
This is how you exploit emotionally-driven panic.
Of course not.
No strategy in the market is perfect.
There will always be false signals, unexpected news, and periods when the herd stays irrational longer than expected.
But here’s what this method will do:
When combined with solid fundamentals—just as the great investors consistently demonstrated—these technical signals become even more powerful.

Our #1 memecoin pick (it’s not what you think)
We just identified what we believe is the #1 memecoin opportunity in the market right now.
And we’re not talking about Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, or any of the memecoins you’ve already heard about.
This is something different. Something with massive upside potential that’s still flying completely under the radar.
Here’s what makes this memecoin special:
–Strong community momentum building behind it right now…
–Institutional interest that is rare for a memecoin…
–Unique “utility” that separates it from the millions of other memecoins…
–Early-stage entry point before the mainstream catches on…
–Catalysts on the horizon that could send it significantly higher…
Our memecoin research team has been tracking this coin closely, and everything is lining up for a potential massive breakout.
But timing is critical. The best gains in memecoins go to those who get in before the explosive move—not after.

Editor’s note: We’ve seen plenty of volatility in the market over the past couple of months…
After the incredible recovery from the April lows, the S&P 500 Index kept hitting all-time highs. Then, volatility crept back in October and November.
Of course, we can’t know for sure what lurks around the corner…
Next year could bring a painful era for the market. In fact, our founder Marc Chaikin has said that there’s a 65% chance of a bear market happening in 2026.
In uncertain environments, using the best available data for stock picking is critical. That also goes for figuring out which stocks to avoid.
As Marc explains in this classic essay, his one-of-a-kind Power Gauge system shines in this area…
By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics“Based on the bearish Power Gauge rating, I think the risk of a negative earnings surprise is too great.”
I said those words in 2012, as I was appearing for the first time on CNBC’s Fast Money Halftime Report.
On the panel next to me was Jon Najarian. I’m guessing you’ve heard of him…
The NFL-linebacker-turned-high-profile-trader had become a household name in the financial world by then. He would go on to sell his publishing and trading platforms, optionMONSTER and tradeMONSTER, to E-Trade just a few years later for $750 million.
Jon was at the peak of his financial career. And although I’d been making the rounds on CNBC, this was the first time we had crossed paths.
The stock we were talking about was online travel agency Priceline, which later changed its name to Booking Holdings (BKNG).
Priceline was one of Jon’s bullish trades at the time. And I had just told CNBC viewers that it looked too risky.
The thing is, I didn’t know anything about Priceline.
But I did have the Power Gauge to guide me. And that was all I needed…Recommended Links:
On December 16, legendary market veteran Marc Chaikin is officially sounding the alarm on the U.S. stock market… and will reveal the No. 1 step to take with your money BEFORE January 1 to protect yourself and prepare as hundreds of stocks could soon suffer swift, brutal sell-offs. The last time he issued a warning like this, the average investor went on to lose up to 44% of their portfolio in the months that followed. Before it’s too late, learn more here.
As one market veteran is now warning, if you want to protect yourself from the chaos surrounding the AI bubble – and potentially triple your money – you need to make this ONE move before January 1, 2026. Click here to learn more.As longtime readers know, the Power Gauge is the culmination of my life’s work.
It combines more than five decades’ worth of data-driven market research. And it packages everything I’ve learned about the markets into actionable information for every stock it processes.
So I didn’t need to know much about Priceline. I just typed in the ticker and got my report.
Immediately, I saw that Priceline was set up to release disappointing earnings. The Power Gauge made it clear.
Obviously, the interface for the Power Gauge has gotten more refined over the years. Here’s an example of another stock that the Power Gauge turned “very bearish” on recently…
You’ve probably never heard of Kingsway Financial Services (KFS).
But that’s not important – because the Power Gauge has.
Each of these sliders is backed by data that can be further explored. And the data shows us that Kingsway is in a risky spot for investors right now.
That was the kind of setup I saw when I told Jon that Priceline looked like a no-go. The Power Gauge had provided me with the most important (and most relevant) information.
Again, Jon was excited about the stock. But he was a professional. And he was willing to reexamine his ideas.
The interview ended with Jon saying, “I’m going to take a harder look, since Marc Chaikin doesn’t like it.”
That was Monday, August 6, 2012. On Wednesday, the day after Priceline’s earnings, the Halftime Report did a highly unusual follow-up.
The host started by asking Jon, “Chaikin spooked you a little bit?”
“He did indeed. And I think… a lot of folks followed Mr. Chaikin. Those of us that picked up some cheap out-of-the-money puts… well, they worked out like a charm.
“Those puts went from like $1.80 last night to $15, $16,” Jon continued. “Again, great call by Marc Chaikin. And thanks, Marc, for helping me out.”
In short, the Power Gauge was right. Priceline missed earnings. And Jon listened to me, made a bet against the stock, and racked up big profits instead of taking major losses.
Now, one great call is just that – a single great call.
But it was only possible because I had the Power Gauge at my side.
The Power Gauge uses the best data available to help individual investors make consistently great calls. And my goal is to share that power with as many investors as I can.
Good investing,
Marc Chaikin
