Within months, the five companies featured in this report achieved an average gain at their highs of 69.03% (strongly outperforming all gold miner ETFs and the TSX Venture Composite Index). NIA has recently identified similar valuation disconnects in the nickel, antimony, and titanium-vanadium sectors, while identifying natural hydrogen as one of the most significant emerging natural resource megatrends that could shape the coming decade.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>We are not perma-bulls or perma-bears.<\/strong> When Michael Saylor&#8217;s MicroStrategy was buying Bitcoin above $100,000, we published multiple articles and reports exposing his ponzi scheme. When a social media-promoted graphene company hit a $2.87 billion market capitalization in March 2026 on only $6,000 in revenue, we called it out while pointing investors toward superior alternatives with better technology, far greater revenue, and valuations that were only a fraction of its own. When Eric Sprott was buying Hycroft Mining at extremely overvalued prices as high as $45-$50 per share, we warned our members and accurately predicted its dramatic decline. When one of Europe&#8217;s most prestigious professional football clubs was trading at only 1x revenue despite its strong balance sheet and consistent profitability, while U.S. sports franchises commanded valuations of 10\u201315x revenue, we highlighted it as perhaps the last remaining opportunity to invest in a world-renowned sports franchise at such a low valuation multiple.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- FOUNDER -->\n<div class=\"nia-section\">\n  <h2>About Our <span class=\"accent\">Founder<\/span><\/h2>\n  <p>NIA was founded by Gerard Adams in 2009. Before founding NIA, he had already begun building what would become a remarkable track record in both media entrepreneurship and independent financial analysis.<\/p>\n  <p>In 2012, Gerard co-founded Elite Daily, an online media platform that by capitalizing on the Facebook algorithm became the #1 most-visited media website for millennials. He owned 30% of the company and sold it to the Daily Mail in 2015 for $50 million in cash.<\/p>\n  <p>Gerard also founded <strong>Leaders Create Leaders<\/strong>, a YouTube series interviewing some of the world&#8217;s most recognized entrepreneurs and influencers, including Gary Vee, Grant Cardone, Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty, Tom Bilyeu, Ed Mylett, Lewis Howes, Ryan Holiday, Patrick Bet-David, and Jake Paul, among dozens of others.<\/p>\n<a\n  href=\"https:\/\/www.inflation.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lcl.jpeg\"\n  target=\"_blank\"\n  rel=\"noopener\"\n  style=\"display:block !important; margin-top:16px !important; margin-bottom:20px !important; text-decoration:none !important;\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\"\n    src=\"https:\/\/www.inflation.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lcl.jpeg\"\n    alt=\"NIA Founder Gerard Adams with Grant Cardone, Patrick Bet-David, Jake Paul, and Jay Shetty\"\n    style=\"display:block !important; width:100% !important; max-width:100% !important; height:auto !important; border-radius:8px !important; border:2px solid #e2e8f0 !important;\"\n  >\n  <span style=\"display:block !important; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important; font-size:11px !important; color:#64748b !important; margin-top:6px !important; font-style:italic !important; text-align:center !important;\">NIA Founder Gerard Adams with Grant Cardone, Patrick Bet-David, Jake Paul, and Jay Shetty \u2014 a few of the entrepreneurs interviewed for Leaders Create Leaders<\/span>\n<\/a>\n  <p>Prior to those ventures, he produced a series of economic documentaries for NIA that collectively received <strong>tens of millions of views<\/strong>, including <em>College Conspiracy<\/em>, <em>Meltup<\/em>, <em>Hyperinflation Nation<\/em>, <em>The Dollar Bubble<\/em>, and <em>Debt Slave<\/em>. These videos helped introduce millions of Americans to the dangers of fiat currency debasement and the case for hard assets.<\/p>\n  <p>Gerard also founded <strong>Fownders<\/strong>, a startup accelerator in Newark, NJ focused on helping inner-city entrepreneurs launch and scale businesses. His business partner was Tony Delgado, who has since built Latino Wall Street into one of the fastest-growing financial education organizations in America, earning the title &#8220;King of Puerto Rico&#8221; from President Trump.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"nia-pullquote\">\n    &#8220;The easiest place to make money is to go where the hate is.

The GDXJ\/GLD ratio remains historically undervalued. The United States faces the prospect of having no domestic nickel mine within years. America currently imports virtually all of its antimony from China. Heavy rare earths (essential for every F-35, every drone, and every advanced permanent magnet) are almost entirely controlled by a single country.<\/p>\n  <p>These are not abstract macro arguments. They are specific, identifiable, measurable gaps between what resources are worth and what the market currently prices them at. That gap is exactly where NIA does its best work.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"nia-callout\">\n    <strong>Our current focus areas:<\/strong> The Richard Warke \/ Augusta Group pipeline (Highlander Silver and beyond); critical minerals for Western defense supply chains (titanium-vanadium, heavy rare earths, antimony, graphite); undervalued gold explorers approaching major permitting milestones; and overlooked technology pick-and-shovel plays serving the AI and defense infrastructure buildout.\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- CTA -->\n<div class=\"nia-cta nia-section\">\n  <h2>Stay Informed.
