Editor’s Note: As November 5 approaches, investors are feeling uneasy. However, here at InvestorPlace, we urge you to resist succumbing to fear and uncertainty.
If you’re seeking profitable strategies amidst this turmoil, consider implementing a quantitative system crafted to transform market chaos into opportunity. Last night, InvestorPlace Senior Analyst Louis Navellier detailed this system and its underlying strategy during the “Day After Summit.” This approach aims not only to protect your portfolio from volatility but to potentially use it to your advantage.

InvestorPlace CEO Brian Hunt, who wrote the definitive guide on the “Age of Chaos,” joins us today to explain how next Tuesday’s election may escalate this chaotic period even further.
Hello, Reader.
“We’re entering an Age of Chaos…”
This statement reflected my analysis shared with select InvestorPlace subscribers back in December 2023.
In that book, I indicated that the 2020s could become one of the most perilous yet rewarding decades in U.S. history.
This is due to multiple significant megatrends converging at once.
Today, we’ll observe how these “Chaos Agents” continue to accelerate rather than slow down.
Indeed, it feels like we’re on a runaway train heading for disaster. However, with the right preparation, you can safeguard your wealth—and even expand it. InvestorPlace’s quant expert, Louis Navellier, along with Freeport Society Chief Investment Strategist Charles Sizemore, elaborated on strategies for this during last night’s “Day After Summit.” Click here to watch the presentation.
Soaring Dollar Hedges Amid Financial Chaos
An essential “Chaos Agent” is what I term the Four D’s: Debt, Deficits, and Dollar Debasement.
Globally, many major governments have overcommitted, struggling under immense debt and unfunded liabilities.
These debts cannot be resolved with stable, honest currency but instead require increasing amounts of diluted cash.
This leads to significant currency devaluation and unpredictability in financial markets.
With proposals like Donald Trump’s removal of federal income tax and Kamala Harris’s plans to tax cuts for 100 million Americans, this situation appears to be worsening after November 5.
What is the situation in America?
Consider the latest government statistics on tax receipts and expenditures.
In 2024 alone, interest on the national debt is projected at $882 billion, while national defense spending stands at $874 billion. This implies we are allocating more to interest payments than to defense spending—a concerning trend.
Most voters and political leaders are reluctant to decrease spending, reinforcing my long-held belief: All roads lead to increased dollar debasement.
This trend explains why investments in gold, silver, and other dollar hedges are thriving.
If my observations on the Four D’s hold true, we can expect even higher values moving forward…
Subscribers of Charles’s Freeport Investor are well-positioned for these developments.
He integrated a gold exchange-traded fund into the model portfolio at the launch of The Freeport Investor just over a year ago, which has since risen by 35%.
AI Innovations: A Catalytic Force in the Modern Economy
Another significant “Agent of Chaos” discussed in my book is exponential technological progress.
After periods of modest growth, computers are now evolving at an incredible pace.
Each year, they not only become faster and more powerful but also cheaper and smaller.
This rapid evolution has profound economic implications, leading to swift changes within industries—both emerging and disappearing at lightning speed.
For instance, OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, reached 100 million monthly active users in just two months, a stark contrast to Facebook, which took 4.5 years, and Spotify, which needed a decade to achieve the same milestone.
Such exponential growth is propelling advancements in AI, robotics, self-driving technology, personalized medicine, and even new methods for space exploration.
Investors familiar with these trends are enjoying substantial returns in the stock market.
For instance, leading chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) has recently achieved a new all-time high, boasting an 850% increase since the beginning of last year and reaching a market cap of $3.4 trillion, making it the second-largest U.S. company behind Apple Inc. (AAPL).
Additionally, take note of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ). It remains one of my top choices for investing in this exponential advancement, nearing its 52-week high.

Uranium Stocks Shine as AI Power Needs Surge
A break above $33 would strongly reinforce the bullish view I have been promoting about robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
However, tapping into AI’s immense energy requirements remains a challenge.
Uranium Stocks at All-Time Highs
Training large AI models can demand up to thousands of times more energy than regular computational tasks.
Some estimates suggest that AI-focused data centers consume around 15 times more energy per operation compared to those handling standard workloads.
Nuclear energy meets these needs effectively.
As a potent clean energy source, it serves as the only viable “baseload” power option that can operate at a large scale.
Baseload power denotes the minimum continuous power necessary to satisfy the basic demand on the electrical grid, ensuring stability. Without it, there is an increased risk of blackouts and brownouts.
This explains the resurgence of nuclear power, propelled by significant technological advancements. Consequently, the popular uranium stock fund, the Global X Uranium ETF (URA), has experienced notable gains.
As AI continues to evolve, these trends are likely to gain momentum.
The Next Leap for AI
Recently, I was asked about what the next major breakthrough in AI would be.
My answer focused on the upcoming product or service that would capture broad public attention and drive substantial interest. I believe it might be a highly functional AI assistant.
Current AI systems like Siri and Alexa offer basic functions, such as playing music and providing weather updates. Yet, many users seek more robust capabilities, like booking dinner reservations seamlessly.
The demand extends to finding hotels, flights, answering medical and legal questions, and locating available products—all in an efficient way that saves time and money.
Once a tech giant—like Apple, Google, or Meta—unveils an advanced AI assistant, daily engagement with AI tools could skyrocket.
Luke Lango, a hypergrowth expert and Senior Analyst at InvestorPlace, shares this anticipation. He perceives the rollout of “Apple Intelligence” as a potential game-changer.
Apple’s vast customer base positions it to introduce high-functioning AI to millions. Users will see it on various devices, from computers to smartwatches, leading to a surge in demand for AI products.
The impact of this could be monumental, similar to the initial burst of engagement seen with ChatGPT. Apple Intelligence might represent a second transformative moment for AI.
With a significant election approaching, there will likely be a prolonged period of uncertainty that could affect market stability.
This situation may further intensify an already chaotic environment.
In light of this, Charles and Louis organized a special pre-election broadcast to provide insights into how this uncertainty could influence stock market behavior and present strategies for profitable trading.
They even revealed a potential trade to consider before the election to capitalize on the situation, regardless of election outcomes.
To life, liberty, and the pursuit of wealth during this turbulent period,
Brian Hunt
