Returns 90d +7.6% (n=9) · 180d +18.1% (n=9) · 1y +28.7% (n=6)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

URANIUM
bullish
Wealthion · video
AI-driven doubling of the US power grid will increase nuclear fuel demand and drive primary uranium supply higher, pushing prices through the prior high of ~$60/lb just as gold and silver have broken their old highs

SILVER
bullish

RARE EARTH MINERS
bullish
Wealthion · video

MINING SECTOR EQUITIES
bullish
Wealthion · video
Capital will flood into hard rock mining equities just as it did into oil and gas, driving multiple expansion from a very low base as US industrial policy mandates Western supply chain self-sufficiency in critical minerals

Deliberate USD depreciation in a global currency war, a trillion-dollar Ukraine reconstruction cycle, and Western supply chain reshoring create a perfect-storm commodity supercycle across all hard assets that will dwarf the 2005–2011 run
