They can’t take it away from you. And you don’t need them to get it.
That’s what we’re building here: Portfolios, research, and advice for self-directed investors who want to manage their own money, make their own decisions, and insulate themselves and their families from the inflationary and policy pressures of the government.
Those pressures have been mounting for years.
Today, as we head into one of the most heated elections of our lifetimes, you can feel them all around you. “It’s a means to an end but the ends don’t seem to meet,” as Sturgill Simpson sings in the aptly named Livin’ the Dream.
It’s why longshoremen feel the need to try to ‘cripple the country’ to secure higher pay as they face the threat of automation.
It’s why the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ are growing farther apart, quickly. It’s why you’d better get yourself on the right side of that divide as soon as possible if you aren’t already.
And those inflationary and policy pressures… that money printing and bailing out… that providing of billion$ in bombs to fuel global carnage…
It’s also why gold is at an all-time high.
We discuss all this in the new episode of Investing in Bizarro World.
And bizarre it is, because amid all this pressure, negative sentiment, and global chaos… you also have a stock market that is at all-time highs.
Plus: Watch out for this gold sensitivity trap. A look at copper technicals amid Chinese stimulus. And we shake our fists at the clouds about app and water bottle culture.
It’s all in the 287th episode of Investing in Bizarro World.
