| The Misery Index, a blunt inflation-and-unemployment gauge economists coined in 1970, just hit a three-year high.
Rising grocery bills, pricier fill-ups, and heavier mailboxes aren't just anecdotal, this index confirms the trend official data sometimes glosses over.
See what the Misery Index tracks and the one asset historically linked to its climb.  |

In 2025, the dollar lost 12% in value. Real inflation hit 5%+. 12% + 5% = 17% purchasing power gone. And it's happening again this year. And next year. And the year after that.
The people who understand this are already moving. In a free presentation I just recorded, I'm revealing what we call "The 2026 AI Gold Rush."
The ONE AI-linked asset class the U.S. government has no choice but to fuel… and BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and 170 public companies are already positioning into it. The same strategy that delivered 12,480% for Mastercard investors since its 2006 IPO. Sitting idle isn't "playing it safe." It's the most expensive decision you'll make this decade.  |
