Your Next Hidden “10x” Opportunity

Global stock markets are teeming with 10x trades.

Unfortunately, most investors don’t know where to look.

The Mag 7s, the technology sector, and the broader U.S. stock market are blinding them to the best opportunities.

It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the companies that produced eye-popping gains over the last 10 years will not deliver market-beating returns in the coming decade.

Like it or not, the world and the markets are changing.

Today, I’ll share one stock that will bulletproof your portfolio against rising inflation, a tanking bond market, and the new “sell-America” trade.

You may have never heard of this company, or don’t care to trade emerging market stocks. But if I had to pick one stock to buy and hold over the next five years, this name would easily be at the top of my list.

In fact, this obscure South African stock might pay your kids’ and grandkids’ way through college.

Here’s why…

Gold Is Paving the Way

If you want to know the market’s future leadership groups, Gold tells the story. 

Check out Gold and Platinum side-by-side since the mid-1970s.

They look almost identical except for one glaring contrast: Gold has rallied over 200% to new all-time highs while Platinum has yet to break through a 17-year downtrend line.

But it’s important to remember that gold actually leads commodity bull runs.

It was the first to break out in the early 2000s during the last commodity supercycle. And it was the first to break out in 2019, long before lumber, cocoa, or coffee was on anyone’s radar.

It’s only a matter of time before Platinum joins Gold, Copper, and all the other commodities that have reached their highest levels since the 1970s.

When it does, I want one stock in particular in my portfolio.

But before that stock doubles or triples in value, this next precious metal will likely post new highs.

Explosive Rally Incoming

When it comes to natural resource stocks, I’m equally interested in the underlying commodity as I am in the company itself. So the palladium chart sits at the top of my chart deck next to the platinum chart.

Palladium likes to trade within broad ranges. Explosive rallies run into overhead supply (resistance) and drop toward underlying demand (support) — an ebb and flow common among commodities.

Here’s Palladium zoomed out to the 1970s with a long-term momentum indicator (monthly MAC-D) in the lower pane.

All you need to know about the momentum indicator at the bottom is that a buy signal triggers when the dark blue line crosses above the green.

Here’s how it performed the three times this signal fired between 2000 and 2020:

  1. 200% from October 2003 to January 2008
  2. 300% from 2009 to 2011
  3. 490% from 2016 to spring 2021

The same buy signal flashed last fall.

Fast forward to today, and buyers continue to support prices where palladium bulls jump-started the previous rally to record highs.

The New Growth Stock

The following stock is one of the world's largest platinum group metals (PGM) producers with operations in South Africa, Australia, Europe, and the United States.

I’m talking about Sibanye Stillwater (SBSW).

The South African-based company produces and recycles various metals, including platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, nickel, chrome, copper, and cobalt.

Lithium, nickel, and zinc are critical components in the batteries that will charge tomorrow’s technology. Plus, the world will need these minerals and metals to rebuild Ukraine, Los Angeles, and the United States’ failing power grid.

Perhaps best of all, SBSW has stopped falling just above its 2020 trough…

Investors have put in the floor as the stock triggers the same buy signal as Palldium. I want to start building a position now.

It all comes down to minimizing regret. I’d rather begin nibbling on SBSW while it continues to churn below six bucks, then lift my head twelve months from now with nothing to show as it’s trading at eight or ten dollars with increasing upside potential.

I wouldn’t be surprised if SBSW rips through its record highs to $30 or even $50 before the commodity bull run ends.
