Good morning Investors! Over time, I think many of us--even if you are a faithful "MAGA" supporter--have come to be somewhat dismissive of President Trump's never-ending stream of Tweets (or, these days, "Truths.")
More often than not, they are of the president venting his spleen over one thing or another and are more entertaining than they are informative on policy.
This one from week's end is decidedly different, however:
I'll have much more to say about this in the days immediately ahead, from an economic, markets, portfolio and related standpoints. That will variously come in a fresh series of Special Reports, podcasts and the most proprietary/specific of things to our Members here at The National Investor.
But suffice it to say for now that President Trump--after several months of vacillation on this matter--appears to at last be prepared to fully pursue the "Donroe Doctrine."
In part, that means much greater care to the economy and security in our own hemisphere (even if--as in the past week's destroying of a vessel with, purportedly, 11 drug runners aboard--some of these things are done with less than the "legal protections" and "due process" some insist should have been respected.)
It means making greater deals with countries in our own region IF they allow the U.S. to be more of an overt "big brother" (witness Secretary of State Rubio's South American trip this week.)
All of this also means permanently strained (and dwindling) relations with the two most populous countries on the planet, India and China...
...and letting Europe suffer the consequences of its own economic and cultural suicide, in part where Russia is concerned.
And for good measure this now-accelerating move toward a more fragmented, multi-polar world will likewise serve to galvanize the development of the so-called BRICS bloc of nations.
This means a LOT of things to America; promising and (near term) perilous alike.
On the latter, it means an even greater urgency for the U.S. to move at "warp speed" now on an URGENT economic and national security initiative:
And that is, to replace the myriad energy inputs, critical metals, their processing and more which we have become dependent on these other countries for.
Fast.
And this is why the upcoming Better In Our Back Yard Mining & Energy Expo just took on FAR greater importance!
RIGHT HERE, (or click on the above graphic) you can get insights into the agenda from my recent conversation with BIOBY's Executive Director Ryan Sistad.
Whether you are looking at all this as a citizen...policy wonk...an investor...or a combination, this is not only going to be a vitally important (and potentially profitable from an investment standpoint) conference.
As I said, given the president's recognition of the direction America is going, it's that much more timely.
Though still beset by myriad challenges, The Trump Administration is clearly of a mind that our policy, economic and related efforts to take back control of our own destiny--and energy/critical materials independence--must aggressively move forward.
To that end, the latest and most important addition to BIOBY's Expo agenda was just announced this past week: that the Hon. Katharine MacGregor, Deputy (to Doug Burgum) Secretary of the Interior, will be our Keynote speaker Thursday night the 2nd.
Stay tuned for more...including a new series of "Investor Playbooks" coming out this month from Yours truly as, in part, what I've called the "World War 3 over Commodities and Currencies" goes into its next act.
All the best,
