[Outsider Club logo] Don't Freeze to Death [Jimmy Mengel Photo] By [Jimmy Mengel]( Written Dec. 06, 2018 Last week I brought you the harrowing story of the Donner Party. The pioneers are infamous for chasing the American Dream by moving across the country in covered wagons and attempting to start a new life in California. It didn't end well... They burned their place into American History by eating one another to survive. This week I’m going to show you how to weather any stock market storm, and save you from cannibalizing your portfolio. [Let’s pick up where we left off...]( At the beginning of November, the Donner Party reached the Sierra Nevada mountains… They were almost immediately trapped by massive snowfall around Truckee Lake – now cruelly renamed Donner Lake – around 11 miles from Lake Tahoe. They built makeshift cabins and survived as best as they could on the meager provisions that they’d had left. Some packed all that they could onto mules and rode off to find help at the nearest fort. Most of those members survived. Those who tried waiting it out didn’t fare so well… In the end, of the 83 members of the Donner Party that were trapped in the mountains, only 45 survived and reached California. Dozens were cannibalized. It goes to show you that you really don’t want to run out of food — just like you don’t want to run out of money during retirement. With a similar November/ December stock blizzard upon us, you’ll need the following things for any pioneer journey or any stock portfolio… [Revealed: 27 agencies ready to send you a paycheck like this...]( - $2,157 paid monthly to Bernard G. - $2,686 paid monthly to Paul S. - $3,745 paid monthly to John H. - $3,319 paid monthly to Michael C. - $4,526 paid monthly to Robert S. - $____ paid monthly to YOU!

[If you want a copy, click here now.]( Tools I shouldn’t have to explain the importance of tools to you. When a wagon breaks down, you’ll need tools to fix the broken axles. When a felled tree is blocking your path, you’ll need a saw and an ax to remove it. When you need to create a makeshift cabin to hole up in for the winter, you’ll need carpentry tools like hammers, nails, mallets, and planes. Tools aren’t going away. And there’s one company that’s been there almost since pioneer times to meet those crucial needs… Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) Illinois Tool Works manufactures and sells industrial products and equipment worldwide. It’s now one of the best-performing dividend stocks of the last century. It’s flourished through wars and recessions and has expanded its businesses around the world. The company is not only a dividend aristocrat; it’s also a dividend king. This means that it’s had over 50 years of consecutive dividend increases. Had you invested 20 years ago, you’d be sitting on an astounding 510% return, turning $10,000 into $61,095. [Market Oracle Makes Final Prediction]( In 1964, James Dines recommended gold at $35 and silver at 92.5¢. By 1980, gold was trading at $850 and silver had shot up 50-fold to $49.45. In 1984, he told his readers to buy a little-known computer stock at 44.5¢. Apple Computers went on to return 30,000%... or 300x your money! Now he’s making the boldest prediction of his legendary career… [Click here to watch the full emergency briefing now.]( Medicine Whether you’re on a cross-country journey in a wagon or not, at some point, you’ll need medicine. Thankfully, medicine has come a long way since the Oregon Trail days. The leading cause of death on the trail was Asiatic cholera. You could seem fine in the morning, but you’d be dead by the end of the day. Insect bites, snakebites, scurvy, malaria, and dysentery plagued the westward settlers. And all of these had to be addressed. Out in the wilderness, people hauled questionable medicines like essence of peppermint, pine tar and turpentine, castor oil, laudanum, quinine tea, vinegar, and the cure-all: whiskey. These days, companies like AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) are addressing far more vexing diseases and conditions… AbbVie is a relatively new company, but it has deep roots. It was one of two divisions created when Abbott Laboratories split and started trading under ABBV at the start of 2013. Abbott Laboratories grew from the business of Wallace Abbott. In 1888, the physician and drugstore-owner isolated the active parts of medicinal plants, such as morphine, quinine, strychnine, and codeine, which he formed into granules and sold to the public. It’s among the top-five pharmaceutical companies by market cap. Its focus is on immunology, oncology, neuroscience, virology, and a handful of targeted investments in promising research for other potential drugs. Long term – if you count their time with Abbott – the company has declared 378 consecutive quarterly dividends since 1924 and has increased the dividend payout for 46 consecutive years. That is a company you can count on... Homeless man turns $500 into $978,750 in just five weeks Jake Studebaker had lost his house... and was living on the streets of Los Angeles. Things were looking pretty grim for Jake, until one day he was notified that his grandfather left him a $500 inheritance. You won't believe what he did with it... Jake went into a local brokerage office and turned that $500 into $978,570 — in just five weeks of trading — all thanks to a simple secret he discovered. The brokers were absolutely stunned. But here's the thing: you can do this, too.

These would just be the basic staples. Other foodstuffs could include sacks of rice and beans and also dried peaches and apples. Bacon was often hauled in large barrels packed in bran, so the hot sun wouldn’t melt the fat. Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE: HRL) What better item could pioneers have used than canned food? If the Donner Party would have had access to Spam, things may have turned out differently... Hormel Foods Corporation produces and markets various meat and food products in the U.S. and internationally. It produces everything you could imagine. And I bet that you have at least one of its products in your pantry… Hormel has been consistently paying dividends for many years and has been raising them for 53 years, making this company another dividend king… This company won’t make you rich overnight, but it will deliver you sure and steady income for years to come. If you invested $10,000 in the company 20 years ago, you’d be sitting on $93,387 today. That’s an 833% increase. [Massive Silver Shortage About to Shock Global Market]( The global silver market is facing deficits of 126 million ounces of silver a year by 2020. Even if miners up production. If this trend continues, we could run out of usable silver — disrupting society. This sets the stage for a major price jump in silver. Far bigger than the last silver bull market. Insiders are calling this “Peak Silver.” Billionaire investors like Elliot Sprott and Hugo Price regard it as a major money-making opportunity. But the average investor could call this their ticket to set-for-life profits.

If you stick to the route, time your investments right, and don’t sit around idly when things seem scary, you’ll be just fine in the end. The Donner Party was doomed by a lack of timing, forethought and execution. Had they been properly prepared and educated about their trip, many more would have made it out alive. You can do the same with your portfolio during times of feast or famine. I just released a new book called [The Big Black Book of Income](.
