Dear Reader,

I believe the Trump administration is about to take a direct stake in a tiny $2 stock.

A stock that controls the largest mineral reserve in the country.

This single site has enough gold to establish a new Fort Knox.

Enough silver to build 57 billion AI chips.

Enough copper to rebuild the U.S. electric grid – 25 times over.

Quite simply…

I believe it’s the ultimate “Make America Great Again” stock.

And right now…

You have a chance to learn how to stake your claim.

Before the U.S. government makes its next move.

The only catch is…

You need to act before July 31.

That’s when a landmark policy decision could reprice this stock, overnight.

Causing shares to quickly surge from $2 per share – to $20 or more over the next year alone.

Don’t delay.

P.S. The Trump administration has taken a direct stake in MP Materials, Lithium America, Trilogy Metals, and USA Rare Earth. Each time, shares sprinted higher.Click here to see why I believe this one is next.

Father's Day Investing: 3 Stocks Built for Long-Term Returns

Reported by Chris Markoch. Posted: 6/16/2026.

This year, Father’s Day arrives at a time when it appears the long-awaited sector rotation is finally underway. But the story may get even better. Investors are always looking ahead, and the outlook for the economy is starting to look much stronger in the back half of the year.

That could mean a rotation into stocks and sectors that have been overlooked in the artificial intelligence trade. For gift ideas that go beyond a single day on the calendar, here are three stocks that are great ideas for dads who also like to invest.

A Recovery Story Still in Progress

Infrastructure means hammers and nails, as well as servers and semiconductors. That has been showing up in the performance of Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK). The stock is up 15% in 2026 as of this writing. That’s evidence of the recovery in industrial stocks, which has been one of the strongest sectors outside of technology.

SWK is within about 2% of its consensus price target, but there may still be more upside ahead. The latest quarter showed that the company’s performance was uneven depending on the category. For example, organic revenue in its Tools & Outdoor business unit, home of the CRAFTSMAN brand, was 1% lower.

To that end, Stanley Black & Decker is leaning into Father’s Day and the CRAFTSMAN brand. Its Longest Day Build Hub features DIY experts sharing outdoor projects to help create a more functional, family-friendly outdoor space. It also offers special offers on CRAFTSMAN products.

The larger catalyst may be the company's intentional efforts to reduce its supply chain's exposure to China. Analysts forecast earnings growth of about 15% over the next 12 months. That may not be fully priced into the stock, which has delivered a negative total return of 50% over the last five years.

That’s despite the company’s dividend. Stanley Black & Decker is a dividend king that has increased its dividend for 58 consecutive years.

The Housing Coil Keeps Tightening

Many DIY dads are frequent visitors to Home Depot (NYSE: HD). But that hasn’t shown up in the company’s stock performance. Home Depot has struggled amid a tight housing market, as consumers have put off major renovations. Over the last five years, investors have received a total return of around 8%. That’s far below the broader market and the company’s own history.

But HD is showing signs of recovery. The stock is still down slightly in 2026, but it is up more than 10% over the past 30 days. Analysts reinforce that sentiment with a consensus price target of $371.71, implying more than 10% upside.

Some of that optimism may be fueled by hopes of interest rate cuts that could unlock a frozen housing market. But it could also reflect the idea that the consumer remains resilient, which could show up in areas like paint and hardware. Lower fuel prices, which could lower commodity prices, may also support growth.

Plus, despite the stock’s uneven five-year performance, the dividend has continued to grow. As of this writing, Home Depot pays out $9.32 per share on an annual basis, has increased the dividend for 16 consecutive years, and has a history of paying a dividend that goes back 40 years.

A Premium Brand Playing the Long Game

YETI Holdings (NYSE: YETI) is an example of continued demand in the premium market. At the same time, even premium brands are having a difficult time passing along price hikes. The company’s Q1 2026 earnings report showed a continuation of the trend toward year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth.

That’s not the sign of a brand with declining demand. And just in time for Father’s Day and the Fourth of July, the company has restocked its Fire Pit Grill Kit, which is one of the brand’s top sellers.

But that YOY growth isn’t showing up on the bottom line. YETI beat estimates by 9 cents, reporting adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 26 cents versus expectations of 17 cents. That better-than-expected result, however, was still 16% lower on a YOY basis. The company’s margin pressure is due to tariffs, which it believes will soften in the second half of 2026 as YOY comparisons normalize.

Unlike the other two names on this list, YETI doesn’t pay a dividend. That’s a factor to weigh, especially for a stock that’s delivered a negative total return of over 45% in the last five years. However, YETI isn’t completely dismissing shareholder returns. The company recently expanded its share repurchase program, which still has $500 million available as of May 14, 2026. That’s one indication that management believes the stock may be undervalued.
