Hi, Tim Plaehn here.
Gold just shattered another record, breaking through $5,000 per ounce for the first time ever.
In just the first 26 days of this year, gold has surged 15%...
Building on last year's historic 65% gain.
But I've found a smart way to play this gold surge.
It's a simple gold fund that's been quietly delivering up to 64% in yearly distributions — paid monthly — while gold climbs.
That means while others wait for gold to go higher…
You could already be collecting $1,152 a month.

The next payout could be just days away.
To your income,

3 European Stocks Built to Shrug Off Tariffs
Reported by Dan Schmidt. Date Posted: 1/28/2026.
What You Need to Know
- The Trump administration reignited tariff threats to Europe in January over the purchase of Greenland.
- While the Greenland debate seems to have abated, the threat of tariffs on U.S. trading partners isn't likely to end anytime soon.
- These three European stocks are largely immune to tariffs and can serve as safe havens for capital if these threats return.
A year into the second Trump administration, the market conversation has centered on tariffs — threats to increase duties on Canada and Mexico, new levies on Europe and Asia, and even talk of worldwide "reciprocal" tariffs. These threats have rattled markets multiple times.
The year opened with a fresh round of European tariff threats after Denmark rebuffed an offer to purchase Greenland, and as of late January, South Korea faces 25% tariffs for not approving terms from last year's trade deal. Everyone caught up?
Market Panic: Trump Just Dropped a Bomb on Your Stocks (Ad)
tock Market Panic: Trump Just Dropped a Bomb on Your Stocks
The market is in freefall—and Trump's new tariffs just lit the fuse.
Millions of investors are blindsided as stocks plunge… but this is only Phase 1.
If you're still holding the wrong assets, you could lose 30% or more in the coming weeks.
While many tariff threats are saber-rattling, the hostility has prompted U.S. trading partners to begin insulating themselves from unpredictable import-tax policies. India and China have been particularly proactive in filling the void left by the United States, and comments by U.S. and European officials at the Davos summit last week signaled that this icy relationship isn't thawing anytime soon. European stocks continue to outpace U.S. equities; the gap has widened over the past three months as the S&P 500 has advanced less than 1.5%.
The "Sell America" trade is likely overblown, but international diversification has been gaining momentum for several years. With gold and silver reaching new highs, investors are clearly allocating capital across borders and asset classes. Recent moves by BlackRock and Vanguard to reallocate funds internationally reinforce this trend, nudging more investors toward global diversification. The best-performing international stocks in 2026 will likely be companies with wide moats that shield them from U.S. tariffs.
3 European Stocks Minimally Affected by Tariffs
Europe's tariff reprieve could be short-lived, especially if the bloc deepens ties with other trading partners. The most reliable way to avoid future import-tax unpredictability is to invest in European companies that generate revenue outside the United States, or in firms that sell products and services typically exempt from import duties. Below are three stocks that trade in the United States and fit that description. (Note: these securities trade over-the-counter as American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs. Make sure you understand the differences between ADRs and traditional shares before buying.)
Rheinmetall: Primary Beneficiary of Increased Defense Spending in Europe
One of 2025's biggest winners was German defense contractor Rheinmetall AG (OTCMKTS: RNMBY), up nearly 200% over the last 12 months and about 1,800% over five years. We covered Rheinmetall's breakout last year as the war in Ukraine intensified and Germany relaxed its debt brake, freeing up defense spending.
With recent U.S. threats around Greenland raising sovereignty concerns, European defense budgets are likely to favor domestic contractors over U.S. firms such as Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT), which could benefit companies like Rheinmetall.
The stock is approaching a key technical inflection point, with the share price nearing the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) that acted as strong support for much of 2025. Despite some technical wobbling, the fundamental tailwinds make Rheinmetall a candidate for further upside in 2026.
BT Group: Safe Sector and Strong Dividend
Telecom and utility stocks often serve as safe havens, and BT Group plc (OTCMKTS: BTGOF) provides mobile and broadband services across the U.K. Unlike many European telecoms, BT's revenue is almost entirely domestic and it exports virtually no products or services to the United States. That stable revenue base, a solid dividend (about 4.2% yield), and limited exposure to trade conflicts help explain why shares are up more than 35% over the past 12 months.
Technically, the stock appears to be consolidating as the 50-day and 200-day SMAs converge. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is turning more bullish, suggesting there may be upside in the near term.
Veolia: Is a Breakout Imminent After a Year of Sideways Trading?
Sometimes a slow build leads to the best outcomes. You wouldn't keep watching a serialized show if it resolved every mystery in the first episode, and the same patience can pay off with certain stocks—especially international names that can remain undervalued for long stretches.
Veolia Environnement SA (OTCMKTS: VEOEY) operates essential services—water and waste management—that are typically local and therefore insulated from cross-border trade disruptions. Its contracts tend to be long-term and often indexed to inflation, providing steady, recession- and trade-war-resistant cash flow. Veolia also yields about 2.9% and trades near 8 times forward earnings.
After roughly a year of sideways action, the stock looks set for a potential technical breakout. A bullish wedge pattern—characterized by lower highs and higher lows—has formed on the daily chart. That pattern often precedes the next wave of momentum in the incumbent trend. Veolia is nearing the wedge's apex, and if price confirms the breakout, upside could follow relatively quickly.
