Happy New Year and welcome to 2026!
2025 was very much what our founders Nick Hodge and Gerardo Del Real would call living in a "Bizarro World."
The market rewarded AI-driven tech megacaps while at the same time showering a "barbarous relic" like gold with serious affection. AI stocks ruled the NASDAQ and pulled up the entire stock market. Gold and silver, however, blew away everyone’s expectations and hit all-time highs.
Record stock returns rarely coincide with precious metals rallies.
Investors showed clear optimism in AI technology stocks and yet a firm desire to insulate themselves from geopolitical risks and stubborn inflation. Despite early 2025 volatility and predictions of a bear market or even a recession, U.S. stocks still delivered double-digit gains for the year.
Here at Digest Publishing we avoided the mistakes that investors usually make in wild and unpredictable years like this. We avoided panic selling, stuck to our fundamentals, and maintained a balanced, diversified portfolio to navigate the high volatility and unexpected turns.
That’s why we offer publications that thrive in any bizarre environment – from the junior resource space that overdelivered gains in gold, silver and copper to the technology space that showered our readers with triple- digit gains.
Our readers had a phenomenal year. Don’t take my word for it. Here is a letter from member Marshall that arrived at my desk on New Year’s Eve…
“I just wanted to say thank you all for what you do. I walked away from individual stocks for over 10 years. A few years back I decided to get back into stocks and found Nick Hodge."
Last year, I actually started buying back into the stock market and was able to keep pace with S&P.
This year, my portfolio absolutely took off. I own around 40 stocks in this portfolio, all of which are recommended by your publications.
Just wanted to let you know I am definitely seeing an ROI from my subscriptions and am very much looking forward to the years ahead. Keep up the great work!”
Thank you Marshall for putting your faith in us. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the bizarro market and simply bury your head in the sand. I’ve spoken to countless readers who came to us after giving up on the market entirely and quickly realized how much they were missing out on by sitting out. We believe that you can’t win if you don’t play and there are always opportunities in the wildest market.
2026 will be no different.
Our editors have been carefully positioning their portfolios to snatch gains left and right in all of the under-reported sectors of the market. Nick and Gerardo have been shouting about the undervalued resource market for years. Both have positioned their readers to pounce on the commodity super cycle that is playing out in real time. Expect massive gains to continue in the gold, silver, uranium and lithium markets this year.
You can get access to Nick’s biggest gold play of 2026 right here.
Chris Curl has been reaping triple-digit gains hand over fist – he sold six of them last year, and currently has another 8 in his open Digital Dispatch portfolio. You can get immediate access to that portfolio right here.
Our results speak for themselves. Our New Year’s resolution is the same as it is every year: provide you, dear reader, the opportunities to increase your wealth right along with us. You can’t win if you don’t play, so get suited up right now.
To your future, your fitness and your financial freedom.
Godspeed,
Jimmy Mengel
