Editor’s Note: As the Iran War drags on – and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed – the entire global supply chain has been thrown into chaos. Oil and gas prices have skyrocketed, and the flow of critical resources and consumer goods has been brought to a standstill.
But according to our friend Jim Rickards – a world-renowned resource expert and a former advisor to the Pentagon and the White House – this supply chain bottleneck could present a unique opportunity for those who understand what’s actually going on.
In fact, he’s just revealed one of his favorite resource stocks right now, 100% FREE – which he believes will come out on top as this supply chain shock unfolds.
Check it out for yourself right here.

Despite the tenuous ceasefire that’s currently in place, the U.S.-Iran war is still far from over.
The market volatility is likely going to get worse before it gets any better. And the shockwaves spreading throughout the global financial system are going to be felt for years.
They will impact every corner of the global supply chain to varying degrees and on different time frames.
As always, there will be winners and losers – and as the shockwaves spread, they will shake many investors out of their complacency.
To understand how this conflict will play out – and how to not only protect your portfolio from major losses, but how to actually profit from this situation – you need to know that the Strait of Hormuz is just one aspect of a much larger story.
It’s true that Hormuz is one of the most important global chokepoints, through which roughly 20% of the world’s seaborne oil supply normally flows.
With the Strait now closed, oil shipments are trapped in the Persian Gulf and cannot reach global markets.
However, bottlenecks in supply chains are like termites – there’s never just one.
This comes as a surprise to most observers who are not familiar with how supply chains work.
When a major disruption occurs, managers focus on fixing the most obvious chokepoint. But other hidden problems may exist elsewhere in the system.
Once the first problem is resolved, additional disruptions appear because the supply chain still isn’t functioning properly. Resources then have to be redirected to solve the next problem.
This process can create prolonged disruptions across industries.
For instance, this situation has been a nightmare scenario for emerging market companies – many of which rely on the distribution of semiconductors, technology and other goods through e-commerce.
Cutting off important shipping lanes – coupled with rising oil and natural gas prices – has caused a massive amount of strain on those countries and the businesses that operate within them.
However, while supply chain bottlenecks have rocked the overall market, there’s a major opportunity opening up right here in the U.S. thanks to a critical move by Donald Trump.
Thanks to this initiative, Trump has now opened up $150 trillion worth of untapped American resources – in everything from rare earths to oil and gas to gold and silver and more.
The U.S. is one of the most mineral-rich nations on Earth, and Trump’s move to open up millions of acres of federal land is going to ensure America is resource- and energy-independent for decades.
It’s also going to create a massive, long-term profit opportunity for good Americans who know how to play the trend.
So even while supply chain bottlenecks continue to squeeze the global economy, I believe the U.S. will weather this storm and come out stronger after the dust settles.
I’ve just identified one important company I think investors should consider right now that could come out on top – and revealed the name and ticker for free, in a brand-new presentation.
