Executive Order No. 14330 Could Impact Your Retirement Account 

Here's What Happens Next

President Trump signed Executive Order No. 14330, a sweeping change that could forever alter retirement accounts.

For the first time ever, physical precious metals like gold are being formally opened to retirement portfolios.

J.P. Morgan projects that a massive wave of demand could send gold prices toward $8,500 per ounce.

But here's what most people don't realize:

You don't have to wait.

If you’re 59½ or older, you can move part of your 401(k) or IRA into gold today, tax-deferred and penalty-free.

Meaning you can beat the rush to gold, AND preserve the tax advantages of your account.

With Executive Order #14330 now signed, the timing has never been clearer:

  • Gold prices rose 64% in 2025

  • J.P. Morgan forecasts gold hitting $8,500/oz

  • Ray Dalio recommends a 10-15% gold allocation for all portfolios

We've created a free guide that explains how to buy physical gold with your retirement account.

The IRS loves when you pass down cash to your kids or grandkids. 

Bank accounts and brokerage statements are reported.

Easy to track. Easy to tax.

But certain gold coins are classified as non-reportable under IRS rules—no tax forms, no CPAs, nobody notified when you sell.

These assets sit outside the banking system.

Yet… you can buy them using your retirement account, tax-deferred and penalty-free.

Article Icon 1Downburst Batters West Valley

A strong downburst packing 60 to 80 mph winds tore through the West Valley on Sunday night, knocking out power to tens of thousands of customers.

The storms collapsed carports, sheared the roofs off several mobile homes in Glendale, and toppled utility poles in Glendale and Phoenix. In Avondale, high winds sent at least eight large drainage culvert pipes rolling from a construction site into a neighborhood.

At one point Sunday night, more than 52,000 Salt River Project and Arizona Public Service customers were without service. APS reported dozens of downed poles.

Forecasters say chances for storms will continue through midweek, with the biggest chance of heavy rain and flash flooding Wednesday into early Thursday.

Article Icon 1Mining Industry Gets Boost

The state's mining industry will get a major federal boost through support for a potential $1 billion loan for a Pinal County copper project and a share of $180 million in nationwide mining education grants.

The announcements came as mining industry leaders from Arizona and other states attended a White House roundtable with President Trump on Friday in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Tucson, said the federal government recognizes Arizona as a leader in the nation's effort to produce critical minerals. Kray Luxbacher, executive director of the U of A School of Mining Engineering and Mineral Resources, called the school funding a historic investment.

The potential $1 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank would support Ivanhoe Electric's Santa Cruz Copper Project near Casa Grande, pending approval through the federal lending process.

Article Icon 1Court Upholds Voter Registration Law

A federal appeals court upheld a 2022 Arizona law that bans multi-county registrations and makes it a felony to register someone already registered in another state.

State Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, said the law also aims to block any future efforts to forward early ballots to people registered to vote in other states.

Voto Latino, Priorities USA, and the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans challenged the law.

In a 35-page opinion Friday, the 9th Circuit rejected claims that the law was unconstitutionally vague. The ruling affirmed a three-judge panel’s November decision lifting a preliminary injunction.

The Next $435B Energy Empire Is Being Minted

In today’s dollars, John D. Rockefeller would be worth $435 billion. But “oil money” is old news, and what’s next might surprise investors in 2026: a $2.1 Trillion opportunity in “clean” coal*.

Now is the “Rockefeller” moment for Frontieras North America as it reforms coal into sulfuric acid, diesel, and other valuable commodities (just like Rockefeller did with oil). With a White House that favors domestic energy, the NASDAQ ticker FASF reserved, and the ground broken for their flagship coal reformation plant, Frontieras is positioned for potential growth. 

The opportunity to invest is closing soon. Become an early-stage Frontieras shareholder by 8/27.
