(Ad)Jim Rickards believes the Trump administration is about to take a direct stake in a $2 stock sitting on the largest mineral reserve in the country - enough gold for a new Fort Knox, enough copper to rebuild the U.S. electric grid 25 times over. The Trump administration has previously staked positions in MP Materials, Lithium America, Trilogy Metals, and USA Rare Earth - each time shares moved higher. A landmark policy decision expected before November 3 could reprice this stock from $2 to $20 or more within a year.Click here to see why Rickards believes this stock is next 2/15/20258,000,000 shares $1.05 billion +10.8%2.9%2.4 $130.63 1/31/20257,220,000 shares $1.02 billion +3.7%2.6%2.3 $141.88 1/15/20256,960,000 shares $1.01 billion +6.6%2.5%2.2 $145.47 12/31/20246,530,000 shares $913.02 million -15.3%2.3%2.3 $139.82 12/15/20247,710,000 shares $1.16 billion +1.2%2.7%2.8 $149.87 11/30/20247,620,000 shares $1.29 billion -6.3%2.7%3.1 $168.78 11/15/20248,130,000 shares $1.31 billion +31.3%2.9%3.4 $161.61 10/31/20246,190,000 shares $1.05 billion +11.7%2.2%2.6 $169.00 10/15/20245,540,000 shares $1.05 billion +4.5%1.9%2.6 $189.40 9/30/20245,300,000 shares $1.01 billion -3.8%1.8%2.1 $190.77 9/15/20245,510,000 shares $1.07 billion +12.5%1.9%2.2 $194.80 8/31/20244,900,000 shares $924.92 million -7.4%1.7%2 $188.76 8/15/20245,290,000 shares $927.13 million -0.4%1.8%2.1 $175.26 7/31/20245,310,000 shares $955.48 million -13.5%1.8%2 $179.94 7/15/20246,140,000 shares $934.26 million -10.9%2.1%2.4 $152.16 6/30/20246,890,000 shares $971.01 million +3.0%2.4%2.9 $140.93 6/15/20246,690,000 shares $955.20 million -1.3%2.3%2.9 $142.78 5/31/20246,780,000 shares $1.00 billion +2.7%2.3%2.8 $147.87 5/15/20246,600,000 shares $1.04 billion +11.3%2.3%2.7 $157.58 4/30/20245,930,000 shares $844.97 million +11.3%2.1%2.5 $142.49 4/15/20245,330,000 shares $794.54 million +6.8%1.8%2 $149.07 3/31/20244,990,000 shares $821.10 million +6.9%1.7%2 $164.55 3/15/20244,670,000 shares $708.44 million -12.7%1.6%1.9 $151.70 2/29/20245,350,000 shares $799.24 million +2.1%1.8%2 $149.39 2/15/20245,240,000 shares $761.79 million +21.6%1.8%2 $145.38 1/31/20244,310,000 shares $615.90 million -16.6%1.5%1.6 $142.90 1/15/20245,170,000 shares $795.77 million -1.9%1.8%1.9 $153.92 12/31/20235,270,000 shares $800.93 million -21.3%1.8%2.1 $151.98 12/15/20236,700,000 shares $1.01 billion -1.2%2.3%2.5 $150.07 11/30/20236,780,000 shares $865.60 million +9.2%2.3%2.6 $127.67 11/15/20236,210,000 shares $794.26 million -5.2%2.1%2.4 $127.90 10/31/20236,550,000 shares $683.82 million -8.4%2.2%2.4 $104.40 10/15/20237,150,000 shares $741.17 million -1.9%2.4%2.7 $103.66 9/30/20237,290,000 shares $783.46 million -3.8%2.5%2.6 $107.47 9/15/20237,580,000 shares $851.46 million +2.7%2.6%2.6 $112.33 8/31/20237,380,000 shares $878.37 million -1.5%2.5%2.5 $119.02 8/15/20237,490,000 shares $950.03 million +9.0%2.5%2.5 $126.84 7/31/20236,870,000 shares $872.63 million -8.5%2.3%2.4 $127.02 7/15/20237,510,000 shares $978.63 million -11.9%2.5%2.5 $130.31 6/30/20238,520,000 shares $1.04 billion -13.4%2.8%2.8 $121.69 6/15/20239,840,000 shares $1.14 billion +2.2%3.3%3.3 $115.38 5/31/20239,630,000 shares $1.03 billion +5.8%3.2%3.1 $106.84 5/15/20239,100,000 shares $999.18 million -3.6%3.0%3 $109.80 4/30/20239,440,000 shares $1.04 billion -17.3%3.2%3 $109.82 4/15/202311,410,000 shares $1.12 billion -5.1%3.8%3.5 $98.25 3/31/202312,020,000 shares $1.17 billion -11.1%4.0%4 $97.69 3/15/202313,520,000 shares $1.30 billion -9.3%4.5%4.7 $96.28 2/28/202314,910,000 shares $1.38 billion +8.5%4.9%5.5 $92.48 2/15/202313,740,000 shares $1.36 billion +6.6%4.6%5 $99.24 1/31/202312,890,000 shares $1.27 billion -4.6%4.2%4.6 $98.69The cash in your checking account has a problem (Ad)There's a pile of cash sitting in your checking account, earning next to nothing while you weigh your options.
