Give me some stock folks that can double this year?

On April 23, 2025, gold was trading around $3,300. I went on the Schwab Network and said something very simple: "If you actually look at the chart of gold over a long period of time, it's only just now broken out in inflation-adjusted terms." Gold is now trading above $5,300. That's a 60%+ move in less than a year. At the time, everyone was still debating whether to buy the Mag 7 or QQQ. I said gold was widely under-owned. That central banks were buying hand over fist. That the longer-term chart structure was phenomenal. I also said something that's worth repeating today: "What do you call a market that doesn't let you in?" A bull market. That's EXACTLY what happened. Gold blew through $4,000. Then $4,500. Then $5,000. Hit an all-time high near $5,600 in January. It never gave you a clean entry. It never gave you a 20% pullback to wait for. It just kept going. And the miners? I said on that same interview: "The gold miners have been catching up with a vengeance. Their costs are well under control. Energy is a major component of their cost structure. Their profit margins are exploding." GDX returned 185% over the past year. All-in sustaining costs stayed around $1,600/oz while gold nearly doubled. Average miner margins blew past $2,500/oz. The thesis hasn't changed: Gold is insurance against irresponsible policies from central bankers and government officials. It protects you against the falling dollar. And it's an asset that isn't somebody else's liability. That last point matters more today than it did in April. With Middle East tensions escalating, the Fed boxed into a corner on rates, and geopolitical risk at levels we haven't seen in DECADES, gold is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The best calls are never the complicated ones. Sometimes it's as simple as: the chart structure is phenomenal, it's widely under-owned, and central banks are buying hand over fist. Buy GLD. Buy GDX. I said it then. I'M SAYING IT NOW.
