A massive policy shift just sent an unexpected signal to income investors. Some of the biggest winners from Trump's defense budget proposal may not be who everyone thinks they are. My portfolio was built for this, and the market hasn't noticed yet.

From AI dominance to gold's historic surge and global stocks beating the United States, 2025 was a blockbuster year for ETFs like GLD, GDX, EZU & IDV.

A massive global de-dollarization shift is quietly accelerating beneath the surface. Asset prices are sending a message most investors haven't noticed. I share how my portfolio is changing in response.

VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is upgraded from hold to buy, supported by strong technicals and robust 2025 performance. GDX's valuation is compelling, with a 13.1x P/E and a 41% long-term EPS growth forecast, yielding an attractive PEG ratio. Dividend discipline is evident, as GDX paid its highest dividend since 2007, reflecting improved capital allocation among gold miners.

SLVP posted a higher 1-year return than GDX but with a smaller assets under management (AUM) and slightly higher volatility. GDX is much larger, more liquid, and holds a broader basket of gold miners, while SLVP focuses on silver and metals companies.

A big slowdown in job growth

GDX charges a lower expense ratio than SIL and manages over 5 times the assets under management. SIL and GDX both delivered triple-digit one-year returns, but GDX experienced a milder five-year drawdown and stronger long-term growth.
