The Freeport Navigator

Mr. Trump is simply Mr. Trump… neither bad nor good… but just another one of history’s useful dupes. All we can do is navigate. Today, Bill Bonner has a way of putting it all in perspective.

While most investors are sweating over news of Chinese AI model DeepSeek… Trump’s tariff threats… and what the Fed will do next, gold is steadily rising and making folks who hold it richer. But don’t expect the rally in gold to stay under the radar for long…

Last week, Ronan McMahon covered his No. 5 ranked destination – Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Today, he dives into his No. 4 and No. 3 ranked destinations. Pay special attention to No. 3. It was a favorite with John Wayne, Bing Crosby, and Ernest Hemingway.

Today, Luke Lango wants to let you behind the curtain about some of the technical catalysts he follows to make his projections. He’ll further review the fundamental Trump-caused catalysts lining up behind Bitcoin, and tell you about the quant-based strategy he uses to help his subscribers trade cryptos in times like these.

Tariffs are government taxes on American companies – and ultimately Americans – must pay. And we’d rather the government stepped out of the way and let us do as we please.

A lot has been written about DeepSeek, but some important questions remain unanswered… until now. Can we believe all the claims made about the power and cost of this new AI platform? Should we trust it? What does it mean for our investments? You’ll find the answers here.

Now that DeepSeek has entered the AI sphere, what we do about it? How do we protect our portfolios from any fallout? Will there even be a fallout? How do we position ourselves to profit from whatever comes next? To answer those questions, I sat down with Freeport Society friend and InvestorPlace tech investing guru Eric Fry.

Ronan McMahon here – your Freeport Society overseas real estate scout. As a Freeport Navigator reader, I will share with you the highlights from my top ranked destinations. These are “gold star” locations where I consistently find the best deals for profit and pleasure. I’ll start today with my No. 5 ranked destination.

Today, let’s zoom out and look at the bigger picture. DeepSeek isn’t just a stock market story. It also exposes the shortcomings of trade protectionism and the unintended consequences that follow.
