Pay for Your Gas With This Stock

Rising gas prices got you down? Try this to make it through the dark winter… Rising gas prices got you down? Try this to make it through the dark winter... [Energy and Capital logo] Pay for Your Gas With This Stock By Alex Boulden Written Mar 06, 2022 I went on a long hike with my hound dog last month. As I crossed paths with two other hikers, I overheard one of them say, “My grandfather made all his money in stocks. I’m not sure which ones.” I should have taken that as a forewarning, and I failed you, dear reader, by not mentioning it in these pages. But it’s been rolling around in my head ever since. It immediately reminded me of the “shoeshine boy indicator,” which foretells a market bubble and coming crash. The story goes that in 1929, Joe Kennedy, JFK’s father, sat down to get a shoeshine, and when the shoeshine boy started talking about investing and even giving him stock tips, he knew it was time to get out of the market. Legend has it he immediately sold all his holdings and shorted the market, becoming a multimillionaire in the process. The moral of the story is that when investing has become a pastime, with people who have no money to spare speculating in the market, it’s time to be wary. And we’ve seen as much lately with "meme stocks" and crypto. That’s not to say this market's all doom and gloom... but the volatility is real. The recent market correction was a sign of something that’s been brewing all along. We’ve seen a consistent downtrend the last few months, which could set the stage for a bear market this year. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was merely the catalyst and shows the frailty of some overvalued stocks. Back in the U.S.S.R. On February 24, Russians awoke to a televised speech by President Vladimir Putin in which he said, “Circumstances require us to take decisive and immediate action... Whoever would try to stop us and further create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history.” He further ominously stated that Russia's “one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the world.” The Russian leader even put his strategic nuclear forces on high alert, preparing them for “special combat readiness.” This leaves us in a state of heightened uncertainty, and Wall Street hates uncertainty. With the Ukraine invasion, gas prices increasing 40%, and an inflation rate of more than 7% in the U.S., we're headed toward a massive energy crisis. But if you’ve been reading us for any length of time, you know we here at Energy and Capital excel at finding backdoor ways to play major market trends. The $11.5 Billion Treasure Hiding in This Lake A remote lake, deep in the isolated forests of Canada, is hiding an $11.5 billion treasure. It’s called the “Miracle Mineral.” And it’s about to unleash a tidal wave of new wealth that could turn every $500 into $82,175. [See how you can take part in this massive opportunity.]( So I want to give you two strategies today to play this crisis, one through oil and one through precious metals. Crude Oil Exposure This first sneaky play can help you buy one tank of gas every month. You see, Western countries imposing stricter sanctions on Russian oil will decrease the global oil supply and drive prices even higher. Germany’s already frozen the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline, which has tightened the supply of natural gas. The Ukraine crisis has driven crude oil prices above $100 a barrel here in the U.S., and prices have soared more than 30% in Europe. Before the pandemic, Western Europe imported 40% of its oil from Russia. But the pandemic squeezed global oil supply, with not enough of it to meet demand. And seeing as Russia’s the third-biggest exporter of oil, trade disputes will only drive the price higher. Since I mentioned the Credit Suisse X Links Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (NASDAQ: USOI) last December, it’s up nearly 23% with dividends reinvested. [usoi2] How to Play the $30 Trillion ESG Trend ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing is predicted to become as big as $30 TRILLION... And with climate change making the headlines every day, one tiny company could become an ESG darling. Early investors already made 1,172% within a few months... And as soon as a green ETF includes this firm in its portfolio, shares could soar much higher. Today, you can get in for less than $5. But with a radical new global climate policy unfolding, there’s not much time to act. [Click here for all the details.]( USOI gives you oil futures exposure without having to participate in that complex market yourself. It does so in two ways. First, it tracks the popular United States Oil ETF (NYSE: USO), but it adds a twist by selling covered calls 6% out of the money. If you’ve ever sold covered calls, you know that you receive a premium for doing so. The ETN accumulates revenue by selling covered calls, with the goal of distributing that money as dividends to shareholders every single month. Here’s a snapshot of USOI’s recent dividend history... [usoi2] With February’s dividend payment of $0.17 a share, $1,500 worth of stock would have returned investors nearly $50 in dividends, a little more than the average $46.20 it costs to buy a tank of gas. Pretty slick. Let’s move on to the shiny metal. Gold Exposure Russia’s been called the Walmart of commodities, including crops, minerals, oil, and precious metals. If the world stops trading with Russia — and that's looking more likely by the day — prices are only going to go higher. Obviously, this is a developing story and the situation can change at any moment, but needless to say, the world's spooked. And when fear reigns, the safe-haven metal comes roaring back to life. You surely saw the recent headlines about the rise of gold and silver... Early Bitcoiner Is Now All-in on THIS Christian DeHaemer was one of the first independent financial analysts to recommend Bitcoin and Ethereum... setting people up to make over $1 million with a starting stake of just a few thousand dollars. But right now, he’s tracking six tiny NEW cryptocurrencies, each of which has the potential to rise 10,000% or more in the VERY near future. Check out his urgent report on the next generation of cryptocurrencies by [clicking here NOW.]( The hard metals cooled off and then rose again, and this volatility is exactly why I wouldn’t tell you to go out and buy gold. But gold miners like Newmont (NYSE: NEM), Barrick (NYSE: GOLD), and Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX), among others, are steadily outperforming the market... [WD gold chart 3.2.22] Experts are saying the greatest gold bull run in history is starting right now, but our mining and precious metals expert Luke Burgess says it’s going to be an even bigger bull market for the pick-and-shovel miners. It’s already happening, as you can see above. That's why Luke's giving Energy and Capital members [exclusive access to his latest research on the five best gold miners]( to play the trend. So while Congress was taking a nap the other week, we kept finding [the best plays to secure your financial future](. As always, we thank you for your support.
