Stocks are getting crushed right now.

But surprisingly, a small group of investors is making money — a lot of money.

In terrifying markets like we’re experiencing today, the wealthy have always found smart ways to protect and grow their wealth.

For example, they invest in luxury apartments in New York or London, or bars of gold.
