New Years Day…
One small gold stock will be preparing to mine its first ounce of gold.
I believe that once this news hits the markets, it will send this $2 gold stock soaring.
That’s because right now, the company is pre-revenue.
So, it’s invisible to the algos and AI programs that make up the bulk of daily trading.
But as soon as it starts generating gold - and cash - it will be like flicking a light switch.
The world’s most powerful trading computers will bid up prices to match fair value.
And it all happens early next month.
Which means:
You need to own this company now - before the company’s scheduled production begins.

Why Smart Money Is Looking Overseas for Bank Stocks
Reported by Dan Schmidt. Published: 1/11/2026.
Article Highlights
- The S&P 500 returned 2.6% over the last three months, yet another quarter where many international markets like Spain, Canada, and South Korea posted better gains.
- If the international outperformance trend continues into 2026, many of the winners could be in the banking sector, which is severely undervalued.
- These two international banks are well-positioned to benefit from these economic trends.
What were the best-performing sectors and industries in 2025? For most investors, some version of tech tied to AI is the answer, whether it's semiconductors, memory and storage, or software. It could be a commodities-based industry, such as gold or silver. Mentioning international bank stocks might raise eyebrows, but the sector deserves to be listed among 2025's winners.
Global banks, especially European ones, enjoyed tremendous outperformance last year, thanks to several tailwinds at home and abroad. Can these tailwinds continue in 2026? Two international bank stocks appear well-positioned to deliver additional upside as favorable trends remain in place.
International Stocks Continue to Outperform U.S. Peers
REVEALED: America just unlocked a $500 trillion asset (Ad)
REVEALED: America just unlocked a $500 trillion asset
Everyone's talking about AI stocks but almost no one is talking about what AI actually runs on.
Nickel. Copper. Cobalt. Manganese.
America just secured exclusive rights to the largest untapped supply on Earth.
One company is already in position and this could be one of the most important AI infrastructure plays heading into 2026.
Despite a resurgent artificial intelligence trade in the U.S., the fourth quarter of 2025 was another win for international peers. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) has gained 2.61% over the last three months, but that gain was more than doubled by ETFs representing equities in Italy, Canada, Spain, and South Korea.
South Korean equities are on a particular tear, surging nearly 27% since the start of October. The tech sector has done much of the lifting in the U.S. markets over the last few years, while international markets have become more diverse and cheaper on a valuation basis.
The outperformance of international equities continues to be driven by many of the same influences. The U.S. dollar is no longer free-falling versus other currencies, but it remains weak against majors like the euro and British pound. Currency moves are also highlighting the valuation disparity between U.S. and international equities. While the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the S&P 500 has drifted toward 30, European and Canadian indices sit at more modest P/Es between 17 and 20. The banking sector in these regions is particularly undervalued, often trading at P/Es between 10 and 12.
International banks also tend to be more generous with dividends than their U.S. counterparts. U.S. banks often prefer buybacks over dividends when returning capital to shareholders; buybacks can be more tax-efficient but are less helpful to investors seeking steady income. International banks frequently yield higher dividends than typical large-cap domestic banks.
Few Sectors Have Been Hotter Than International Banking: These 2 Stocks Lead the Pack
The banking sector of the European Stoxx 600 index has actually outperformed the U.S. tech sector since 2021, yet valuations remain suppressed.
If you're looking to diversify your portfolio away from tech-heavy U.S. stock indices, consider these international bank stocks that offer value and potential for further outperformance.
Deutsche Bank: No Longer the Sick Bank of Europe
For many years, investors avoided shares of Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB) like the Dallas Cowboys avoid playoff wins.
If there was a scandal in European banking, it was a good bet Deutsche would have a hand in it — fines and restructuring costs kept the stock in steady decline following the 2008 financial crisis.
DB shares are still well below their 2007 all-time high, but the stock is up roughly 500% since July 2022 thanks to a series of cost-cutting measures designed to exit underperforming businesses and restore profitability.
Probability has been delivered to DB shareholders: three straight quarters of positive EPS and three sizable revenue beats. Despite the strong results, the stock trades at just 13x forward earnings and about 0.87x book value.
Deutsche Bank no longer needs to be handled with kid gloves, and the chart shows a bullish trend with solid momentum behind it. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) was a reliable entry point for investors in 2025, and it appears to be holding strong into the new year.
HSBC Holdings: Bridging Europe and Asia
HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE: HSBC) is in a unique position as a large-cap bank with significant ties to both Europe and Asia.
The company is doubling down on Asia, having recently acquired and privatized Hang Seng Bank to leverage its footprint in Hong Kong.
HSBC's wealth management operations in Asia are also scaling quickly, providing the bank with multiple sources of fee revenue and interest income.
HSBC is a disciplined steward of capital, paying a 2.46% dividend yield with a 41% payout ratio. It also returned cash to shareholders via a special dividend and share buybacks funded by proceeds from selling its Canadian banking units.
A solid dividend and a growing global client base offer opportunities for income and stock-price appreciation, and analysts spent much of Q4 2025 upgrading HSBC. Zacks Research, Erste Group Bank, Bank of America, and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods all upgraded the stock to Buy or Strong Buy before the end of the year.
HSBC shares have risen nearly 20% in the last three months, so investors should watch the MACD for signs of a pullback. The 50-day SMA is again an attractive entry point should momentum wane.
