Dear Reader,
Markets just opened.
And exactly what analysts predicted over the weekend is playing out in real time.
Brent crude is surging after U.S. and Israeli strikes shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway that carries more than 20% of the world's oil supply.
ICIS director Ajay Parmar said it plainly: "We expect prices to exceed $100 a barrel if we see a prolonged outage of the Strait."
That outage is happening right now. Tanker owners, oil majors and trading houses have already halted shipments. There is no quick fix. No diplomatic resolution is imminent. Iran's Supreme Leader has promised retaliation.
This isn't a one-day spike.
This is the beginning of a sustained move higher.
Which means you still have time to position yourself - but the easy entry is closing fast.
Here's what most investors are doing right now: panic-buying Exxon, Chevron or an oil ETF. They'll get some of the move. But history shows they'll leave most of the gains on the table.
The smarter play is one that has returned 10X more than oil stocks during energy surges like this — and pays you monthly income from oil production whether prices keep climbing or stabilize at these elevated levels.
Charlie Munger discovered this strategy decades ago and turned a single $1,000 investment into nearly $100,000 in annual income.
You can get started for as little as $20.

P.S. The last comparable moment was March 2022 — Russia invades Ukraine, oil spikes, investors who moved in the first few days captured the biggest gains. We're in those first few days right now. [Don't sit this one out >>]
