Two Ways to Handle a Volatile Market By Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig Sometimes I don't enjoy being right... Back in July, I warned Health & Wealth Bulletin readers to be ready for anything: If you've learned anything from this year's global political rhetoric, it's to not be surprised by events you never thought possible. We're not going to bother trying to predict the next big political move. Instead, we're going to prepare for whatever may lie ahead... whether that may be more tariffs, a bear market, or even a recession. Last summer, it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility that we'd go to war with Canada. We didn't... But we're now part of a new conflict in the Middle East. On Saturday, the U.S. and Israel began strikes across Iran with a goal of "eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime," according to President Donald Trump. These strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump says the country's navy and air force have been "knocked out." And the death toll continues to rise in the region as the conflict spreads. War is bad news for the world. So you might think it's also bad news for your portfolio. It's true that markets don't love uncertainty, like geopolitical conflict or a pandemic. The markets have been volatile over the past week, with many stocks and other assets selling off. But history tells us that over the long term, you should keep your money working for you... Look back to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. When it was clear a war was likely, stocks fell in the beginning of the year as nervous investors fled the markets. But within a few months, they decided the invasion would bring greater stability to the region. Stocks ended 2003 up around 26%. What's more, over the long term, this back-and-forth doesn't even show up as a blip on the stock chart. Take a look... This is another lesson to not let fear drive your long-term portfolio strategy. Stocks have survived wars, recessions, and pandemics. This time is no different. But you still need to be prepared for times of volatility – like we're facing right now. You can do that by buying great long-term stocks and waiting out the crisis. That's what I usually do in my Retirement Millionaire newsletter. But a second option, in the short term, is to use volatility to your advantage... My colleague Greg Diamond has done just that. Since joining Stansberry Research nearly a decade ago, he has shown his readers an incredible 41 chances to double their money or better... all by leveraging the kind of volatility that most investors flee from. And right now, Greg is sharing a way to protect your money and potentially generate thousands of dollars in profits over the next two months. This strategy doesn't depend on what will happen next in the current conflict or other global news. Like we said, some things just aren't possible to predict. Instead, Greg's strategy is a way to leverage the looming wave of volatility. He's sharing all the details in his 2026 Market Crash Summit on Tuesday, March 10. To help you hit the ground running, he has agreed to detail a trade setup on a company he has always recommended successfully. And he's giving away its name and ticker for free.

The Best Pans for Cooking Q: My wife and I are buying new cookware, and I wondered if you have a preference since I've heard Teflon is dangerous but it's easiest to use. Thanks for the advice. – K.S. A: Teflon is a handy nonstick surface, and I use Teflon cookware in my own kitchen. But it's true that it poses risks when used in certain ways. So if you buy something with Teflon, keep these points in mind... First, at about 500 degrees Fahrenheit, the coating on Teflon pans starts to decompose, and your pan releases toxic particles and gases – including known carcinogens. These gases soak right into the food you're cooking. And Teflon can release fumes toxic enough to kill birds. So you should only use Teflon pans for low- to medium-heat cooking. I try to keep the heat as low as possible when I'm using Teflon-coated cookware. Second, if Teflon gets chipped or scratched, pieces of the chemical coating can end up in your food. So I only use silicone or rubber utensils on my Teflon, never metal or hard plastic. If you'd rather avoid Teflon, or need something for higher temperatures, I recommend stainless steel... Stainless steel is inexpensive and harmless, and it lasts a long time. It's not nonstick like Teflon, but all you need to do is add a little bit of oil or nonstick cooking spray – like Pam – before using the pan.
