From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets
You know, I was sitting here this morning with my coffee, watching the futures ticker, and I just kept thinking — how many more warning signs do people need?
Oil blew past $100 a barrel overnight. First time in years. The Dow dropped 600 points before the bell even rang. And if you missed Friday’s jobs report — 92,000 Americans lost their jobs. Not “the economy added fewer jobs than expected.” Lost them.
I talk to regular Americans every single day who are worried about their retirement. And you know what? They should be. Because what we’re watching right now has a name that most financial people don’t like to say out loud — stagflation. That’s when your cost of living goes up while the economy goes down. Your groceries cost more. Your gas costs more. And your 401(k)? It’s going the wrong direction.
Meanwhile, gold is sitting right around $5,172 an ounce. Steady as a rock while everything else falls apart. That’s not a coincidence — that’s thousands of years of history doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Here’s what frustrates me. Most people don’t even know they can hold physical gold inside their retirement account. Same tax benefits as a regular IRA, but instead of paper promises from Wall Street, you’ve got something real. Something that doesn’t disappear when the market has a bad week — or a bad year.
It’s not that hard. You don’t need to be a financial genius. You just need to get educated about your options. That’s literally all we do here at American Alternative Assets — we help people understand what’s available to them and make their own decisions.
I put together a guide called The Big Beautiful Bubble that breaks down exactly what’s happening in the markets right now and what you can do to protect yourself. It’s free. No strings attached. Just real information for real people.
Got questions? Give us a call. Get educated. Then decide for yourself.
