From the Desk of InvestorPlace: I don't forward many outside notes to my readers. But this one from my colleague Luke Lango stopped me cold. If you've been following the OpenAI IPO story — and most of our readers have — what Luke is about to share could completely change how you approach it. Please read this carefully before IPO day arrives.

Dear Reader,

It's no longer theoretical. It's officially in motion.

OpenAI – the inventors of ChatGPT – just filed the confidential paperwork to go public.

And it could be the largest IPO in American history.

We all knew it was coming. But here's what almost everyone is about to get wrong.

They'll rush to buy OpenAI the moment it hits the market.

And if history is any guide, most of them will regret it.

In nearly every blockbuster tech IPO of the last 15 years, the people who bought on day one underperformed.

While a small group of other folks made as much as 3,900% on a little known investment connected to the IPO.

I call it the Pre-IPO Backdoor.

In my view, it's one of the best moneymaking opportunities out there.

It rarely comes around. You only see it when a huge tech company goes public.

And it's about to open again, thanks to the OpenAI IPO.

There's only one catch. You need to get in before OpenAI actually goes public.

And now the filing is official.

P.S. There's every chance the OpenAI IPO will be the biggest in American history. And that means the Pre-IPO Backdoor opportunities could be the biggest ever too. You may never see another opportunity like this in your lifetime. For your free ticker, click here now.

BREAKING NEWS

🪙 The World's Central Banks Are Quietly Dumping Dollars & Buying Gold

Central banks are the people who manage a country's money. They decide what to hold in reserve in case things go wrong. Think of it like a country's emergency savings account. And right now, the people running those accounts are making a very clear statement. They're selling dollars and buying gold.

The World Gold Council surveyed 76 central banks earlier this year and the results were striking. A record 45% plan to increase their gold reserves over the next 12 months. And 74% expect to hold fewer US dollars five years from now.

That’s not a minor shift. That's nearly three out of every four central banks saying the dollar is becoming less important.

Here's why this matters right now:

• 🏦 Central banks averaged 1,000 tonnes of gold purchases per year over the past four years, double the pace of the decade before that. Poland, China, and India have been the most aggressive buyers. They're not slowing down.

• 💵 The US dollar now makes up less than 57% of global reserves in 2026, down from 71% at the start of the 2000s. Central banks are not panicking, but they are slowly spreading their money into other assets instead of relying mostly on the dollar.

• 🌍 The Iran war accelerated everything. The survey was conducted between February and May 2026, meaning most responses came in after the Middle East conflict began. A record 90% of central banks cited gold's performance during crises as the main reason they're buying it. War makes gold more attractive and this war is no exception.

The Munch Take: The people whose entire job is to protect a country's financial stability are moving out of dollars and in to gold. They're not doing it loudly. They're doing it consistently, year after year, tonne after tonne. Whether that tells you something about the dollar's future or just reflects normal reserve diversification is a question worth sitting with. My wife asked me why countries were buying gold instead of just keeping cash. I said because gold doesn't belong to anyone else. She nodded and went back to looking at jewelry websites. I chose not to comment.

STOCK OF THE DAY

🧠 The Chip Giant Behind Your AI Just Filed To Go Public In America

Most people have never heard of SK Hynix. But they’ve almost certainly used something that runs on its memory chips.

SK Hynix is one of the key suppliers of high-bandwidth memory used in many of NVIDIA’s AI systems, quietly powering the hardware behind the AI boom. It doesn’t sit in the spotlight but it sits inside the machines that do.

SK Hynix just filed to list its shares on Nasdaq, aiming to raise roughly $29.4 billion in what would be one of the largest IPOs in history. Trading is expected to begin on July 10 and the money raised will go straight toward building new production facilities and buying the advanced equipment needed to make next-generation AI chips.

Here's why this matters:

• 👑 SK Hynix just dethroned Samsung. For the first time in roughly 25 years, SK Hynix overtook Samsung Electronics as the most valuable publicly listed company in South Korea by market cap.

• 💰 The numbers are already exceptional. SK Hynix carries an operating margin of 58.58% and revenue growth of 28.2% over the past three years. For a company this size, those are remarkable numbers.

• 🤖 They make the chips Nvidia can't live without. SK Hynix supplies the vast majority of the world's high-bandwidth memory chips, the specific type that AI data centers need most. Micron is the only real competitor. Supply is so tight that customers are locked in years in advance.

The Munch Take: The company that makes the memory chips powering the entire AI revolution is about to land on Nasdaq. It dethroned Samsung. It supplies Nvidia. It has a 58% operating margin. The AI trade has many different entry points and this is one of the more direct ones on offer. Whether the IPO price reflects all of that good news already is the only question that matters. We’ll have a deeper breakdown as we get closer to the IPO.
