Something extraordinary is happening in Washington.
For the first time in over a century, a sitting President could release a national treasure that's been tied up in red tape, for generations.
I'm talking about a $150 trillion American asset that's scattered across all 50 states.
While the mainstream media focuses on political theater, this story is quietly developing behind closed doors.
Former White House economic advisor Jim Rickards just came forward with a shocking prediction: "This summer, President Trump could announce the largest wealth transfer in American history."
This isn't about tax cuts, stimulus checks, or government handouts.
It's about unlocking a dormant asset that rightfully belongs to the American people.
And while citizens won't see a direct payment, investors who position themselves correctly could capture substantial gains as this wealth flows into a specific sector of the economy.
The window to act is extremely narrow, he says. Because once this story breaks, the biggest gains could already be gone.
We recently interviewed Rickards to get the full story and understand how everyday Americans can prepare for this historic event.

Friday's Featured News Joby Deal Gives Blade New Direction, But Stock Lacks Lift Written by Chris Markoch. Published 8/6/2025. 
Key Points - Blade Air Mobility will sell its passenger division to Joby Aviation, pivoting to a pure-play medical logistics model.
- The $125 million stock-based deal is set to close in the first half of 2026, introducing potential valuation and timeline risk.
- Investors may want to wait for deal clarity before getting involved with BLDE stock.
It’s been quite the week for Blade Air Mobility Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDE). On August 4, Blade and Joby Aviation Inc. (NYSE: JOBY) announced the sale of Blade’s passenger mobility business to Joby for up to $125 million. That sent BLDE stock soaring 30%. Blade will become a pure-play medical logistics company and change its name to Strata Critical Medical. However, the stock has given up most of those gains after the company delivered a mixed earnings report. Although it beat on the top line, it delivered negative earnings per share of five cents, which was a penny worse than the negative four cents analysts were expecting. The earnings report is a reminder that Blade has tremendous potential and serves a critical niche among business services stocks. However, the company is not yet profitable, and it may take some time for it to realize the economic benefits from the Joby deal. The Passenger Division Sale May Be Addition by Subtraction Blade Air Mobility operates as two divisions: Medical and Blade Passenger. The medical division is primarily comprised of its MediMobility Organ Transport business. The company is the largest dedicated air transporter of human organs for transplant in the United States. As of this quarter’s earnings, nearly 60% of the company’s revenue and 84% of its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) came from its medical division. In the quarter, Blade posted 18% year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth from the medical division. This contrasts with the combined 8% YOY revenue decline in its short-distance and Jets business in the passenger division. Blade Anticipates a Leaner, Profitable Business The company’s earnings report was heavily focused on the impact of the Joby deal on Blade’s business. Management was bullish on the outlook, citing an expectation for “continued attractive organic growth over the coming years.” The company also said it plans to pursue strategic acquisitions with the expected $200 million of cash on hand, pro forma for selling its passenger business. In short, investors can expect a leaner company with more predictable cash flows, focused on non-emergency medical transport (NEMT), organ transfer, and time-critical healthcare logistics. As the company’s quarterly results bear out, this is a less volatile space compared to urban air travel. The Risk Is in the Details The sale of Blade’s passenger business to Joby is for “up to” $125 million. That’s because the sale will be paid entirely in Joby stock. On the company’s earnings call, Blade’s management didn’t express concern over Joby’s ability to deliver. That said, a deal based on a stock-based structure opens the possibility that Joby’s share price could impact Blade's final payout. This risk is somewhat amplified because Blade's chief executive officer (CEO), Rob Wiesenthal, remarked that the deal will close in the first half of 2026. That’s not an unusual timeline for a deal involving regulatory approvals. However, it does extend the runway for stock price volatility, particularly for a pre-revenue aviation startup like Joby. BLDE Stock May Need Time to Take Off What Blade might be (i.e., a profitable, asset-light medical mobility company) is enticing. The company estimates the organ logistics market to be an addressable market worth about $1 billion, of which Blade already controls about 30%. But that’s not where the company is today. It’s also not what attracted some initial investors to the company. Those investors were attracted to the opportunity in air mobility. While the resulting company may offer stability and near-term profits, the upside will likely be capped. Until its passenger business is sold, investors should expect BLDE stock to reflect cautious optimism at best. However, it's likely to be choppy as traders look for opportunities for short-term gains. Investors with a lower risk tolerance may want to wait until the deal is closer to completion before deciding on BLDE stock. However, risk-tolerant investors may want to start building a position and scale in as the final details of the deal emerge.
