My #1 Trade to Profit from the Russia-Ukraine Conflict Welcome to Moneyball Economics. Today I want to address the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The markets and media are misreading this situation! My reading of the tea leaves makes it very clear how we should get prepared — and how we should get positioned to profit. This Ain’t Vegas, Baby Unlike a trip to Las Vegas, what happens in Ukraine doesn’t stay in Ukraine. Why? Because Ukraine is hugely important to the global economy. And so is Russia. Both countries are major providers of core commodities like grain and iron to countries around the world, including the U.S. And Russia alone provides 30% of Europe’s gas. So when there are problems in these countries, there’s a massive ripple effect. History Repeats Itself We saw this ripple effect happen in 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula. When that happened, as you can see below, nickel prices soared a whopping 30%: Now Russia is set to invade Ukraine again. And yes — I’m convinced that actual fighting is going to break out. This will mean major disruptions to the world’s production and manufacturing pipelines. But as you’ll see in a minute, it also means opportunities for investors like us to profit. What’s Going on Here? But why is Russia about to invade Ukraine again? A lot of people are misreading this situation. Many in the Western world view Russian President Vladimir Putin as a throwback to the Soviet Era. But he’s not. In fact, he’s forward-looking. Putin sees a new Silk Road taking shape. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route linking the Western world with the Middle East and Asia. And at the moment, Putin is watching his country get bypassed. But he wants to change this fact. And that involves conquering Ukraine. Why the Ukraine? Two reasons… A Spot on the Silk Road The first reason is to grab a spot on the new Silk Road. Take a look at this: Notice two things: - All routes currently bypass Russia. - And right in the red zone — the “gateway to Europe” — is Ukraine. This is a critical corridor that Russia knows it needs to dominate. If it can seize control, countries including Kazakhstan will now be dependent on Russia. As for the second reason… > ADVERTISEMENT < ** GOLD WARNING ** If you own gold or gold stocks, read this warning immediately. An event in 2022 could have a massive impact on gold and other sectors, says the man who predicted the 2020 crash. "Move your money now." The last time he issued a public warning like this, the market went on to see its biggest one-day drop ever. [Click here for the full details.]( The Need for Naval Power It’s all about Naval power! You see, Russia needs a Naval presence in the Mediterranean so it can put pressure on Europe. Right now, its fleet has just two ports — one in Syria, and the other in the top corner of the Black Sea. This is a big problem! If an enemy wanted to, it could close up the Russian fleet with relative ease. Part of its annexation of Crimea in 2014 was meant to remove one of these bottlenecks. Now Russia is addressing the problem further by focusing on the Donbas region of Ukraine. If it can take this region, not only can it virtually eliminate Ukraine’s access to the water, but it can also establish contiguous territory from which it can prosecute a Naval battle! A Master Card Player Russia’s moves are part of a decade-long plan. But the country believes that right now is the time for action. Here’s why… First, for the past ten years, America has been entangled in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. But as those situations come to an end, American forces would be able to concentrate fully on Russia. Second, a new window has opened up in the form of the Biden administration. The same people who were in charge when Russia annexed Crimea are back in leadership positions today. And they’re trying to enforce similar sanctions against Russia. Newsflash! It didn’t work the first time, it’s not going to work this time — particularly right now. Inflation means consumers are spending more on things like gas and steel — and a lot of that money is going to Russia. That means Russia can afford to foot the bill for any sanctions being thrown its way. Russia is reading the situation well, and Putin is playing his cards masterfully. Bottom line: Russia’s plans are already in motion. So now let’s look at how these events will impact the stock market… A Lot of Profit Opportunities Ahead Get ready to see a very spooked market. In general, I’m betting that commodities will shoot up, and the S&P 500 will go down. But I also have some very specific investment ideas. If you’re a subscriber to my “Pro” service, check out the idea below ASAP. (If you’re not a Pro member, now would be a very good time to join.) Regardless, you really need to pay attention to what’s going on overseas right now. It’s creating turbulence — and a lot of profit opportunities. Zatlin out. I’ll talk to you soon.
