Let me tell you exactly why… [CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH VIDEO OR READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT BELOW »»]( > ADVERTISEMENT < Gold is about to SOAR — here's what you need to do Everything is lining up perfectly for a historic gold bull run. One gold research firm says they've found the best way to get in, for less than $10. [MORE here...]( For a transcript of this video, see below.

Why I’m Recommending You Add Small-Cap Stocks Today As their name suggests, small-cap stocks are companies with relatively low market capitalizations — typically between $300 million and two billion dollars. They’re certainly not the biggest companies… But historically, they’ve outperformed large caps by a wide margin. And as you’ll learn today, I believe they’re set to surge… Bear Markets Aren’t Kind to Small-Caps Small caps tend to struggle in bear markets, but shine in bull markets. Their struggles during bear markets are linked to three factors: - Most small caps don’t have the brand-name or cachet that a larger company does, so they’re not considered “safe havens” during bad times. - When the market is a mess, investors crave dividends. But generally, small caps don’t issue dividends. - Small caps don’t have big balance sheets or lots of cash. This makes them higher risk. But during bull markets, they can shine. Here’s what I mean… Small-Caps Run with the Bulls During boom times, the value of many companies grows. But the value of a small cap often grows faster. Makes sense — it’s easier to go from a billion-dollar market cap to two billion dollars, than from $100 billion to $200 billion. As you can see below, over the past forty years (mostly boom times), the Russell 2000 (heavily weighted with small caps) has outperformed the S&P 500 (heavy with large caps): Bottom line: small caps can be dicey in bear markets, but perform well in bullish ones. But given that the market’s been bearish for most of 2022, why scoop up small caps now? There are two key reasons… Two Reasons to Invest in Small Caps Now First, an inflection point may be on the horizon. Sure, we’re currently facing some sort of recessionary period, but it’s likely that a bullish period is right behind it — and that’s great news for small-cap investors. Second, small-cap stocks are oversold right now. Let me show you: This is a two-decade snapshot of large-cap stocks’ Price-to-Earnings ratio. This is a useful metric for determining whether, historically speaking, you’re paying too much or too little for a certain level of earnings. See the orange arrow running left to right? Any time the P/E ratio is over that line, historically speaking, stocks are overvalued. And as you can see, currently, large caps are way above that line. Now look at small caps: The P/E ratio is currently below the line, meaning we’re in oversold territory. This is where you can make some money! Look at the Hiring Data Small caps are ripe with potential. But which ones should we target? Simple: Look at my hiring data! For example, here’s a small-cap semiconductor company called Wolf (NYSE: WOLF). Its hiring is up, up, up: Helmerich & Payne (NYSE: HP), a small cap focused on drilling, is hiring, too: And Steel Dynamics’ (Nasdaq: STLD) hiring is soaring right now: Earlier, I mentioned that small caps don’t typically issue dividends. But Helmerich & Payne pays a two-and-a-half percent dividend. And Steel Dynamics pays around one-and-a-half percent. When I’m looking for the “right” small caps to invest in, I look for accelerated hiring and dividends… But I also look for revenue growth. And sure enough, Wolf is forecasting forty-two percent growth in 2023, and Helmerich & Payne is forecasting thirty-five percent growth. Very good. Small Caps are Poised for Growth So now you know: small caps are poised for growth. And certain small caps are poised for the most growth. I showed you two examples of such small caps today.
