The stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, is down more than 15% this year, even after the recent mega-rally.
Now, having said this, a select group of investors who positioned themselves early are looking forward to checking their brokerage accounts every morning, crash or no crash.
Why is that?
Because they invested – and are still investing – in the one asset that has outperformed the market by double and triple digits – even while the market is down. This one investment is outshining everything.
Oops… I gave it away!
As I’m sure you already know, gold has been on a tear. It’s been a top-performing asset in 2020.
Last year, on December 31, gold closed at $1,519. Today the price is listed at $1,726.50. That’s a gain of almost 15% during one of the worst four-month periods in market history.
Take a look at what I told War Room members in May 2019…
I made the call to buy gold via Barrick Gold on May 7, when gold was less than $1,300… Here are the reasons we bought in May. They haven’t changed. And they will be the same reasons we will buy again. 1 – The U.S. Dollar is way too strong and is hurting our export market. President Trump has been trying to talk it down from day one and will continue to do so. 2 – Low interest rates are good for gold and negative for the dollar. Pressure on the Fed to keep rates low is a plus. 3 – Geopolitical issues are bullish for gold. 4 – By the middle of next year, we will see election-year volatility kick in. 5 – Volatility is very low right now, and the market is vulnerable for mini-corrections like we saw in December. 6 – China.
Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD) has more than doubled since, and I have recommended it in The War Room many times. Just last week members made 70% on my latest Barrick Gold recommendation.
Action Plan: Now, tomorrow I will tell you how you can own gold… even though you can’t get your hands on it from any dealer right now.
It’s our little secret, and I’ll share it with you tomorrow. Make sure to mark your calendar so you can read all about it.
You see, in The War Room, we want to bring you everything… options, stocks, metals… and even some extra-special plays that very, very few people know about.

About Karim Rahemtulla
Karim began his trading career early… very early. While attending boarding school in England, he recognized the value of the homemade snacks his mom sent him every semester and sold them for a profit to his fellow classmates, who were trying to avoid the horrendous British food they were served.
He then graduated to stocks and options, becoming one of the youngest chief financial officers of a brokerage and trading firm that cleared through Bear Stearns in the late 1980s. There, he learned trading skills from veterans of the business. They had already made their mistakes, and he recognized the value of the strategies they were using late in their careers.
As co-founder and chief options strategist for the groundbreaking publication Wall Street Daily, Karim turned to long-term equity anticipation securities (LEAPS) and put-selling strategies to help members capture gains. After that, he honed his strategies for readers of Automatic Trading Millionaire, where he didn’t record a single realized loss on 37 recommendations over an 18-month period.
While even he admits that record is not the norm, it showcases the effectiveness of a sound trading strategy.
His focus is on “smart” trading. Using volatility and proprietary probability modeling as his guideposts, he makes investments where risk and reward are defined ahead of time.
Today, Karim is all about lowering risk while enhancing returns using strategies such as LEAPS trading, spread trading, put selling and, of course, small cap investing. His background as the head of The Supper Club gives him unique insight into low-market-cap companies, and he brings that experience into the daily chats of The War Room.
Karim has more than 30 years of experience in options trading and international markets, and he is the author of the bestselling book Where in the World Should I Invest?
