Dear Reader,
They make up one-third of the S&P's value, and once accounted for 63% of its performance...
But now, if you're still holding the "Magnificent 7" stocks, you could get left behind by the next greatest moneymaking opportunity in the $7 trillion AI market.
That's according to one Wall Street legend – made famous for accurately predicting the 2012 Priceline collapse, the 2020 COVID crash, and the 2022 bear market.
Marc Chaikin's stock system flashed "bullish" on all seven of the Magnificent 7 stocks in early 2023, before their historic run-up.
But now, Chaikin says the next wave of AI winners looks nothing like you likely expect. And for the biggest potential gains, it's time to move your money away from the Magnificent 7...
And into these hidden AI stocks instead.
This message comes as one little-unknown stock jumped 934% in under two months.
And it's far from the only "hidden" stock on the move right now.
Marc Chaikin invented the Wall Street indicator that tracks the billions of dollars flowing in and out of U.S. stocks, every single day. However, more recently, his focus has been on helping regular Americans understand what's going on "under-the-hood" of the stock market.
And, as some unfamiliar stocks are shooting sky-high thanks to a new market move, he sat down in studio to reveal what's really happening — and what this means for your money.

He says:
"If you have $1,000 to invest today, buy this stock immediately".
Chaikin has a long history of bold, successful market calls like this. It led CNBC's Jim Cramer to admit: "I learned a long time ago not to be on the other side of a Chaikin trade".
Are investors about to realize that the Magnificent 7 is now the "Malicious 7"?

The Metals Market Is Heating Up—4 Stocks Poised to Shine
Written by Bridget Bennett. Published 11/6/2025.
Key Points
- Gold has risen from $1,800 to nearly $3,000—and according to Brett Eversole, it could go much higher.
- Retail investors are just starting to re-enter the gold market, signaling a new, accelerating phase.
- Four metal stocks offer potential upside for investors looking beyond bullion: AG, HL, EQX, and SA.
It's one of the fastest-growing markets out there, yet most investors are still ignoring it.
Gold has climbed from about $1,800 an ounce to nearly $3,000, and according to Stansberry Research's Brett Eversole, that's just the beginning. He believes this bull market could ultimately send gold to $8,000–$10,000 per ounce before it's all over.
Forget AI Stocks — This Device Will REPLACE the Microchip (Ad)
While everyone's chasing the same AI plays, George Gilder is focused on something completely different.
He says a 4-nanometer device that's 80 MILLION times more powerful than the chip he gave Reagan is now being made in America for the first time.
And he's identified 3 companies that control this technology.
That might sound bold, but the data—and the investor behavior behind it—paint a convincing picture.
A Shift in Who's Buying Gold
For years, central banks were the primary buyers pushing gold prices higher. Between 2022 and 2024, many global institutions sold U.S. Treasury bonds and increased their gold holdings. Retail investors, by contrast, largely stayed on the sidelines.
Now, that's starting to change.
Eversole points to a key indicator: shares outstanding in gold ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA: GLD), which had been falling for years. That trend has reversed, and ETF shares are climbing again—a sign that individual investors are returning to the market.
And when retail investors finally catch on to a boom, history shows what typically follows:
- The trend accelerates
- Valuations rise fast
- The boom eventually turns into a bubble
But, as Eversole puts it, "Between now and then, there's a lot of money to be made."
Why Gold (and Silver) Still Have Room to Run
Markets move in cycles. The last major gold boom began in 2001 and lasted about a decade, with prices rising roughly 600% before peaking. The current cycle began around 2018, so we're only about seven years into a similar long-term trend.
If history repeats, gold could roughly double from here—and silver may do even better.
Silver has long been the "wild card" of the metals complex: more volatile and more speculative, but capable of far larger percentage gains once momentum builds. Eversole believes we're reaching that stage now.
If gold hits $8,000, silver could reach $200 an ounce—roughly 4x upside from current levels.
That makes the right mining stocks particularly compelling right now.
4 Mining Stocks That Could Lead the Metals Boom
There's more than one way to invest in a bull market—and these four names illustrate different ways to gain exposure. They aren't household names (yet), but Brett Eversole believes they have significant upside as gold and silver move higher.
First Majestic Silver: A Pure Play on Silver's Breakout
If silver takes off in the late stage of this bull cycle, First Majestic Silver (NYSE: AG) could be one of the biggest beneficiaries. The company is headquartered in Canada, but all its mining operations are in Mexico—and about 60% of its revenue comes from silver.
This isn't a newcomer to metals rallies. "During the early 2000s, they were up five or six hundred percent in a couple of years," Brett says. "Coming out of the financial crisis, they were up a couple of thousand percent."
That historical performance suggests First Majestic doesn't just track silver—it can significantly outperform it in a strong rally.
Hecla Mining: A Low-Cost Producer with Big Leverage
Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL) offers exposure to both gold and silver, with production split roughly 50/50. What distinguishes Hecla is its low-cost production and attractive asset base.
"They've got strong assets in good places and they're a low-cost producer," Brett notes. "Their cost to pull an ounce of silver out of the ground is around $13 an ounce. That's about half what the industry average is."
That cost advantage becomes a powerful driver as metals prices rise: a low base allows Hecla to capture more profit on every price increase, without the geopolitical risks some peers face.
Equinox Gold: From Builder to Cash Generator
Equinox Gold (NYSEAMERICAN: EQX) has moved past heavy asset accumulation and is shifting into profitability just as gold prices accelerate.
Production is projected to increase from 800,000 to 1.2 million ounces by 2027, while costs are expected to fall from $1,900 to $1,500 per ounce. That kind of operational improvement is exactly what investors want to see.
Brett says, "This company is going to turn into a cash-gushing machine." Projected free cash flow could jump from around $80 million to roughly $1 billion, transforming Equinox into a much more cash-focused miner.
Seabridge Gold: A High-Upside Bet on What's Still Underground
Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) currently doesn't produce gold, but it may control one of the most valuable undeveloped gold and copper assets in the world. Its flagship KSM project in British Columbia is estimated to contain $25–$30 billion worth of metals.
What it needs is a partner. "I think that when that joint venture deal is announced… this is a massive upside catalyst for the stock," Brett says.
Seabridge's structure gives it strong leverage to the price of gold: as prices rise, the economic value of its reserves climbs dramatically. A joint venture announced amid a rising gold market could reprice the company quickly and significantly.
Why the Rally Still Has Room to Run
This rally looks broader than a short-term spike. Eversole argues we're still early in a global upswing that is lifting multiple asset classes:
- Stock markets around the world are at or near all-time highs
- Mid-cap and small-cap equities are breaking out
- Gold and silver are surging alongside them
When multiple sectors and geographies rally together, it typically signals genuine global strength rather than a brief rotation into a single asset class.
The Risk—and the Opportunity
Yes, metals can be volatile. Gold has moved sharply in recent months, and a pullback wouldn't be surprising. Eversole, however, views dips as buying opportunities rather than reasons to exit.
The "mania phase"—when everyone's talking about gold, ads flood the internet, and retail pours in at the top—hasn't arrived yet.
We're not there yet. That's exactly why there may still be time to position for what comes next.
