With all the chaos in the markets, I know a lot of you are looking for investments that will weather the recession storm and be at the forefront when the global economy kicks back into full swing. One of my favorite places to look for reliable investments is in the mining sector – at the end of the day, no matter what happens, we’re always going to need the raw materials to make the things we need.

That makes owning miners a good bet.

I like quite a few mining companies and have written about them in the past – firms like Rio Tinto Group (RIO), Vale SA (VALE), and BHP Group Ltd (BHP) – and I still like them all. But right now, given the conditions we’re in, there’s one company I like even better than all of these, for one major reason.

All of these companies do one thing very well and make money at it, that thing being the extraction and processing of metals and minerals. But the company I want to tell you about today goes beyond that. Not only do they extract and produce basically everything that can be mined – metals, coal, and even oil and gas – but they also control one of the most sophisticated distribution networks in the world.

Basically, if there’s a ship on the ocean that has a commodity on it, this company either knows about it or is operating it. Seriously, in 2012, the BBC reported that they had more ships in their fleet than the entire British Royal Navy.

This allows them to participate in global commodity markets as a producer, supplier, shipper, and trader all in one. That diversification protects them against a potential demand slump due to recession, and when we come out the other end of that, their growth potential is simply massive, and you’re getting paid just shy of 5% yields just to hold it.

For the ticker, just check out the video below.

As I said, I know you’re all looking for ways to protect your capital as we head into a recession. Infrastructure is another area where the government is already spending billions, and I have a lead on a small company that could potentially solve America’s electric grid problems. Shares are literally less than $5 right now, but they’re preparing to close their doors to new investors this month.
