The Insiders Are Fleeing While You Buy the Dip

Corporate insiders just logged a buy/sell ratio of 0.23, near a multi-year low. They are cashing out. Robert says the only smart exit is gold and silver.

Dear Reader,

Yesterday the government told you wholesale prices dropped 0.3%. Inflation is cooling, they said. Wall Street cheered. The S&P 500 ticked up another 0.38%.

I was not cheering. I was watching something else. Something the financial media barely mentioned.

The people who actually run America's biggest companies -- the insiders -- are selling. Fast. The latest insider Buy/Sell ratio just came in at 0.23. The five-year average is 0.35. The lowest it has ever been was 0.17 in February 2023, right before the regional banking crisis hit.

We are sitting at 0.23 right now. And nobody is talking about it.

Inside today's issue:

Insiders Know What Is Coming

Let me tell you what I have learned about insider buying and selling over 30 years of studying markets.

When the CEO of a Fortune 500 company buys his own stock, it means one thing. He knows something good is coming. When he sells, he knows something the rest of us do not yet see.

Right now, insiders across the entire U.S. market are selling at a ratio of 0.23. For every dollar of insider buying, there are more than four dollars of insider selling. These are the people with access to the real earnings numbers. The real inventory levels. The real order books. They are not guessing. They are acting.

Meanwhile, gold is sitting at $4,061 per ounce. Silver is at $57.94. These metals are telling you the same story the insiders are telling you with their Form 4 filings. The purchasing power of the dollar is being destroyed. The national debt just crossed $39.72 trillion. That is $118,562 owed for every single American alive today.

The Fed held rates at 3.75% this month. Frozen. Paralyzed. Inflation is still running at 3.5% annually by the government's own numbers. Real inflation -- what you pay at the grocery store, for energy, for housing -- is much higher. The Fed cannot raise rates without blowing up the bond market. It cannot cut rates without igniting inflation again. That is a trap. And the insiders know it.

Now add Iran. New U.S. strikes hit Iranian military targets this week. Tehran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. Twenty percent of the world's oil passes through that waterway every single day. If it closes -- even partially -- Brent crude does not stay at $84. It goes to $120 or higher. That blows up every inflation model the Fed is counting on.

There is one more piece. Goldman Sachs data shows hedge fund exposure to the AI and tech basket at its lowest point of 2026. Big money is rotating out. The semiconductor index dropped 5% in a single week.

So I want you to ask yourself: if the insiders are selling, if gold is holding above $4,000, if oil is a geopolitical fuse waiting to blow -- where exactly is the safe place to be?

I will tell you exactly what I am watching. But first...

But first — our friend Porter Stansberry has been tracking something that connects directly to this story. Take a look:

The Only Exit That Matters

Here is the answer to the question I left you with: gold, silver, and real assets.

That is not sentiment about shiny metals. That is following the data. When insiders sell paper assets, they are voting against the system. I am voting with them -- except I am buying what they cannot sell on a Form 4.

Gold has run from $2,600 to over $4,000 in less than two years. Not because speculators are gambling. Because institutions, central banks, and smart money are abandoning the dollar. J.P. Morgan is now forecasting gold at $6,000 by year end. I have been saying that for a long time. They are finally catching up.

Silver is even more compelling. At $57.94 with a gold-to-silver ratio of 70 to 1, silver is historically cheap relative to gold. And unlike gold, silver has industrial demand. Solar panels. Electric vehicles. Medical devices. The same geopolitical chaos driving energy prices higher also drives demand for silver-dependent technologies. I have said silver reaches $200. I still believe that.

My poor dad believed in job security, savings accounts, and a 401(k) full of stocks the insiders are now dumping. My rich dad taught me to own things governments cannot print. Gold. Silver. Real estate with cash flow. Assets that hold value when politicians and central bankers fail -- and they always fail.

The time to prepare is before the crisis. Not during it. Not after. The insiders are preparing right now. The question is whether you follow their actions or their press releases.

Buy gold. Buy silver. Get out of paper before paper gets out of you.

To your freedom,

P.S. The governments of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait once hired our friend Larry Benedict. So did the banks that hold money for Exxon, Chevron, and Shell. For decades, he helped the most powerful players in oil grow their money. Now he's revealing his top oil strategy, adapted so ordinary folks can use it too. Watch the free presentation here.

P.S. Most people think Warren Buffett got rich by picking great stocks.

That is only part of the story.

While everyone else chased the next hot company, Buffett spent decades buying something far more valuable.

Leverage.

He understood a simple principle: if you own the road, you do not have to worry about which car wins the race.

Today, the richest companies in the world have discovered they cannot build the future without using roads that men like Buffett already own. The pipelines. The power. The infrastructure underneath the entire AI boom.

I have spent my life studying how rich people get richer. Again and again, I see the same pattern.

The rich do not chase opportunity. They buy the asset everyone else eventually needs — and then they wait for the world to come to them.

I've found one company that owns exactly that kind of road in the energy chokepoint. Attend The Great American Energy Summit live on July 16th, and I'll give you its name and ticker free, right there on stage.
