Yesterday was Election Day. Whatever you think about who won, Wall Street’s most reliable playbook just opened. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has finished higher in the 12 months following every single midterm. Nineteen elections. Nineteen gains. Zero losses. The average move: up 15.1%. Even the worst stretch in the bunch — the 12 months after the 1986 midterm, which included Black Monday — still ended up 1.1%. If you’re sitting on $500,000 in an index fund right now, the historical average says you’d pick up $75,500 by next November.
You have to own gold before the signature happens. Not after
In 1933, the government took Americans' gold by force and revalued it to fill its own coffers.
It was the biggest financial injustice of the 20th century. And for 90 years, it's gone uncorrected.
The government still carries its gold at $42.22 per ounce on the books. The real price is above $5,000. That's a $1.2 trillion gap that every president since Nixon has ignored.
Trump isn't ignoring it.
He's talked about a "Golden Age." His Treasury Secretary confirmed plans to "monetize the assets." There's legislation from his own party to revalue the gold. A Federal Reserve economist published a paper on how to execute it.
Everything points to Trump using the same executive power FDR used, but this time to benefit citizens instead of robbing them.
If that happens, every ounce of gold held by Americans could jump in value overnight. No taxes. No act of Congress. Just one signature correcting a 90-year-old injustice.
But here's the thing. You have to own gold before the signature happens. Not after.
A free report called "The Great Gold Reset" lays out the full 1933 injustice, Trump's plan to undo it, and how to position your retirement in about 15 minutes.
Nineteen midterms since 1950 — through assassinations, crashes, wars, and a pandemic — and the S&P 500 finished higher after every single one.
