From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets
You know, I was sitting here this morning reading the headlines with my coffee, and I just had to shake my head. A federal judge orders $130 billion — that’s billion with a B — in tariff refunds. The Supreme Court already told the President his tariffs were unconstitutional. And what does the Treasury Secretary say? “We’ll have those rates back within five months.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
Meanwhile, gold touched $5,400 an ounce this week. Then it dropped to $5,081. That’s a $300 swing in days. And if you’re wondering why — it’s because nobody knows what’s coming next. Not the Fed, not Congress, not Wall Street. Nobody.
The Fed is stuck at 3.5-3.75%. They want to cut rates — everybody wants them to cut rates — but they can’t because we’ve got a war in the Middle East driving energy prices through the roof and keeping inflation sticky. So the economy gets no relief. Regular Americans get no relief.
Here’s what bugs me. I talk to people every single day who have their entire retirement sitting in the stock market. And they think it’s safe because, well, it’s always gone up eventually, right? But “eventually” doesn’t help you if you’re 62 and you need that money in three years. Eventually doesn’t pay the mortgage.
Look — I’m not here to tell you the sky is falling. I’m here to tell you that the system is showing cracks. Real ones. Constitutional crises over trade policy. A frozen Federal Reserve. Gold swinging hundreds of dollars a day. These aren’t normal times.
The people who come out of this okay are going to be the ones who got educated before the next shoe dropped. Not after. Before.
We put together a guide called The Big Beautiful Bubble that lays all of this out — what’s really going on, why the experts say the current market may be stretched to its limits, and what regular Americans can do to protect what they’ve built.
Got questions? Give us a call. Get educated. Then decide for yourself.
