Dear Reader,

I believe the Trump administration is about to take a direct stake in a tiny $2 stock.

A stock that controls the largest mineral reserve in the country.

This single site has enough gold to establish a new Fort Knox.

Enough silver to build 57 billion AI chips.

Enough copper to rebuild the U.S. electric grid – 25 times over.

Quite simply…

I believe it’s the ultimate “Make America Great Again” stock.

And right now…

Before the U.S. government makes its next move.

Don’t delay.

Regards,

Jim Rickards

P.S. The Trump administration has taken a direct stake in MP Materials, Lithium America, Trilogy Metals, and USA Rare Earth. Each time, shares sprinted higher. Click here to see why I believe this one is next.

Market Signal Report
Three buyouts, two biotech wins, and one Boeing deal worth watching tomorrow. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌
MARKET SIGNAL REPORT
POWERED BY STOCKSTOTRADE
Monday, Aug 10, 2026   S&P ▼0.1%   Nasdaq ▼0.3%   Oil ▲ $80+   Gold ▲ $4,406

The S&P 500 came into Monday off its best week since April and spent the session giving a little back. Oil did the damage: crude pushed back above $80 after Iran attached new demands to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Energy led the tape, REITs and utilities got sold.

Quiet day for data. That ends midweek when CPI and PPI hit. Here's the signal from today's session. 👇

📈 TODAY'S TOP 5 GAINERS

 
1 · BWMN  +55%
Bernhard Capital is taking Bowman Consulting private at $43/share in cash, a deal worth about $1B with debt.
2 · VREX  +48%
Teledyne agreed to buy Varex Imaging, the X-ray component maker, for $18.90/share. Roughly $1.1B, all cash.
3 · HZO  +45%
Blackstone's Safe Harbor is acquiring MarineMax for $53/share in a $1.5B all-cash deal.
4 · SLN  +41%
Silence Therapeutics' Phase 2 SANRECO trial hit its primary and secondary endpoints. Biotech data winners on real volume tend to stay on scanner watchlists for days.
5 · ABCL  +36%
AbCellera's mid-stage data showed its hot-flash drug ABCL635 beat placebo after a single dose.
🎯 THE SIGNAL
Three of the five are all-cash buyouts. Deal stocks gap to the offer price and pin there. The entire trade happened in the opening minutes, and chasing a stock pinned at its deal price is collecting pennies with no upside left. The tradeable names on this list are the two biotechs, where price discovery is still happening.

🛢️ THE HEADLINE THAT MATTERED

 

Oil back above $80 as the Hormuz reopening stalls

Last week's rally leaned partly on hopes for a quick deal to reopen the strait. Iran's new conditions pushed crude up more than $2 on the session, and that single move explains most of Monday's tape: energy up nearly 3%, rate-sensitive sectors down, and indexes slipping off record highs.

It also raises the stakes for the inflation data coming midweek, because oil feeding into CPI is exactly what this market doesn't want to see right now.

👀 ONE TO WATCH TOMORROW

 
✈️ Archer Aviation  (ACHR)

Archer is buying Boeing's electric aircraft unit Wisk Aero plus two subsidiaries, SkyGrid and Insitu, and Boeing is taking an equity stake in Archer. The stock opened up 20% and settled around +12% on heavy volume.

Why it's the watch: this is a real catalyst, not a press-release pump. Archer just absorbed autonomous flight technology and a defense-adjacent drone business while getting Boeing on its cap table.

Day two is the tell. If ACHR holds the gap and builds above Monday's range, that's institutions accumulating and the move can extend. If it fades back into the gap, the news is priced and the trade is over. Watch the open, watch the volume, and let the stock prove it first.

See you at the next signal. 📡
