The Economy Was Supposed to Crack. It Didn’t.

Thank you for being a Global Market News Subscriber!

As we head into Christmas tomorrow, we hope you and your family enjoy a peaceful and meaningful holiday.

As we look back on the past year, one narrative dominated headlines, forecasts, and market commentary: dire predictions for the U.S. economy. Recession calls were constant. Consumer collapse was assumed. A hard landing was treated as inevitable.

Yet as 2025 comes to a close, the data tells a very different story.

The U.S. Economy Keeps Powering Ahead

For most of 2025, the consensus view was clear: growth would slow sharply as consumers pulled back and tighter financial conditions took hold. That hasn’t happened. Instead, economic momentum has proven far more resilient than expected, driven by a narrow but powerful mix of affluent consumer spending and sustained corporate investment, particularly in artificial intelligence, data centers, and productivity infrastructure.

But what can you actually DO about the proclaimed ‘AI bubble’? Billionaires know an alternative…

Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?

Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).
