From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets
You know, I was sitting here this morning with my coffee, watching the news like everyone else, and I just kept thinking — how many regular Americans are watching gold whipsaw three hundred dollars in a single day and have absolutely no idea what to do about it?
Look, what’s happening in the Middle East right now is serious. US and Israeli strikes on Iran are in day four. A submarine just sank an Iranian warship. Embassies are closing. And the markets? They’re doing exactly what markets do when the world gets scary — they’re going haywire.
Gold shot past $5,400 yesterday, then crashed 5.5% to around $5,118. That’s a $300 swing in hours. The 10-year Treasury yield is up to 4.09% because everyone knows what happens if the Strait of Hormuz gets disrupted — oil prices go through the roof, and inflation comes right back to eat your grocery budget and your retirement account.
Here’s what bugs me though. None of this should be a surprise. The signals were there. Central banks had been loading up on gold for months. Treasury yields were telling a story. Energy markets were flashing warning signs. The institutions saw it coming — they’re always first in line.
But regular Americans? Most of them are finding out about this on the evening news, after the big moves already happened. That’s not how you protect a retirement.
It’s not that hard to read these signals if someone shows you where to look. That’s exactly why we put together “The Bellweather Signal” — it breaks down the same indicators the big money watches, in plain English, so you can stop being the last one to find out.
I’m not here to tell you what to do with your money. That’s your call. But I am here to tell you — get educated. Understand what’s happening. Then decide for yourself.
Got questions? Give us a call. Get educated. Then decide for yourself.
