Dear Friend,
Bitcoin is down. Headlines are ugly.
And yet memecoins keep doing their own thing.
That is the part most investors miss. Memecoins do not trade on macro news the way Bitcoin does. They trade on virality. Community momentum. Social catalysts that have nothing to do with what the Fed or Congress is doing.
Which means while everyone else is frozen waiting for the market to "feel safe" again… the right memecoin can run anyway.
My analysts Brian and Joe have identified their #1 memecoin for right now.
It is still trading for pennies. It has viral potential, real utility, institutional interest building, and a capped supply with a built-in burn mechanism.
Their track record for finding memecoins that go on to gain has been remarkable recently:
→ $PEPE: 1,570%
→ $REKT: 3,110%
→ $DogWifHat: 8,200%
→ Plus a bunch of "quick flips" gaining 300%-1,100% in days
They do not find coins like this every week. When they pound the table, I pay attention.
The broader market might be stuck. This coin does not need permission.
Get the #1 Memecoin for Right Now (available for a limited time).
Do not wait for Bitcoin to recover. The move could happen before it does.

The Cold Snap Lit a Fire Under Natural Gas—3 Trades to Watch
Author: Chris Markoch. Article Posted: 1/27/2026.
At a Glance
- Natural gas stocks are gaining momentum as winter storms, data center demand, and tight U.S. supply push prices higher.
- UNG and BOIL offer tactical ways for traders to capitalize on short-term natural gas volatility during extreme weather.
- Generac provides indirect exposure to cold-weather demand as power outages increase interest in backup generation.
Late January brought snow, ice, and single-digit to sub-zero temperatures across much of the United States. Before the storm, several energy stocks rallied sharply, especially those tied to natural gas.
Here's the part of the story that may interest traders: U.S. natural gas output is near decade lows while demand (even without the recent storms) continues to rise.
Executive Order 14330: Trump's Biggest Yet (Ad)
While President Trump's official salary is $400,000 per year... his tax returns reveal he's been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn't touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed. If you love investing in disruptive new companies...
Discover how to invest in the fund Trump uses to collect this income >>One driver is data centers. While there is optimism about nuclear energy as a longer-term solution, natural gas remains the near-term answer for much of the power sector. That's why some aggressive traders are looking to capitalize with two ETFs better used as tactical tools.
But warming your portfolio this winter doesn't have to come only from gas exposure. Winter storms can also produce power outages, which boosts interest in a company that often benefits from severe weather.
And the best part for traders: each of these opportunities may have additional upside. Investors looking to trade this cold snap may want to consider these three options.
UNG Offers Direct Exposure to Short-Term Natural Gas Moves
The United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSEARCA: UNG) provides traders with direct exposure to movements in the spot price of natural gas via near-dated futures contracts. With U.S. production near decade lows and demand rising from power generation and data centers, UNG is a way for nimble traders to express a short-term bullish view during extreme winter weather.
The UNG ETF is up nearly 20% in 2026, and many investors are counting on further gains because of the supply-demand imbalance. Cold weather can tighten that supply even more.
However, the fund remains well below the highs it reached in 2022 and 2023 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. After that spike, UNG dropped sharply and was a difficult trade for much of the subsequent three years. In fact, the fund is down more than 61% over the last five years.
BOIL Offers 2x Leveraged Exposure to Natural Gas Futures
The ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (NYSEARCA: BOIL) amplifies volatility by offering 2x leveraged exposure to the daily returns of natural gas futures. That leverage makes BOIL especially attractive during rapid price surges tied to cold weather, infrastructure constraints, or sudden demand spikes.
For aggressive traders, BOIL can magnify gains when natural gas rallies over short periods. For example, the BOIL ETF is up nearly 38% year-to-date, roughly double the gain of UNG.
But the same leverage that boosts upside also magnifies losses. Over the last five years, BOIL is down about 99% — a substantially larger decline than UNG's. That makes timing critical. BOIL is best suited for experienced traders who can actively manage positions and capitalize on short-lived momentum rather than investors seeking a long-term natural gas play.
Generac: A Power Outage Play That Isn't Just for Hurricane Season
Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC) isn't a natural gas producer, but winter storms can make it a compelling cold-weather trade. Extreme weather increases the risk of power outages, driving demand for backup generators from both residential and commercial customers.
Many of Generac's generators run on natural gas, which aligns the company with growing interest in gas-fired backup power as grid reliability is questioned. While Generac is often associated with hurricane season, severe winter storms can produce similar demand surges. If outages persist or grid stress worsens, Generac could see renewed investor interest.
GNRC stock is up more than 22% in 2026. Still, the stock sits about 16.7% below the consensus price target, and those targets are rising. While Generac looks rich at roughly 31x trailing earnings, its forward P/E is closer to 20x.
Why These Trades Require Careful Timing
What goes up can come down just as fast. Both BOIL and UNG are directly tied to natural gas futures, one of the most volatile corners of the market. Leverage, daily resets, and futures roll costs can quickly erode returns if prices move sideways or reverse.
Weather-driven rallies can fade quickly if forecasts change or supply rebounds. Generac faces different risks, including slower demand if outages are limited or weather normalizes. Investors should treat these trades as short-term opportunities and not as long-term core holdings.
