From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets
You know, I was sitting at my desk this morning reading the headlines, and I almost spit out my coffee. The IMF — the International Monetary Fund, the folks who are supposed to keep the global economy from going off the rails — just came out and said that America’s federal debt is now a threat to global financial stability.
Let that sink in for a second. The world’s top economic body is saying our government’s spending problem is so bad, it could destabilize markets worldwide.
And the timing? It couldn’t be worse. Treasury yields just surged past 4% on the 10-year. The new Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, is talking about shrinking the Fed’s $6.6 trillion balance sheet — which, you know, sounds responsible until you realize what that means for bond prices and your 401(k). Meanwhile, inflation is stuck at 3%. Your grocery bill knows it. Your gas pump knows it. Your retirement account is feeling it whether the headlines admit it or not.
I talk to regular Americans every single day. People who’ve worked 30, 40 years. They’re not day traders. They’re not watching Bloomberg 24/7. They just want to know: is my money safe?
Here’s what I tell them: it’s not that hard to protect yourself, but you have to get educated first. You have to understand what’s happening. Because the rules that kept your parents’ retirement safe? Those rules are being rewritten — right now, in real time.
Gold is sitting above $5,170 an ounce today. That’s not because people are speculating. That’s because smart money — central banks, institutions, people who do this for a living — is moving to protect itself. And if they’re doing it, maybe you should at least understand why.
My team put together a guide called The Debt Death Spiral. It breaks down exactly what’s happening with the national debt, why Treasury yields matter to your retirement, and what steps experts recommend you consider. No jargon. No pressure. Just plain English.
Got questions? Give us a call. Get educated. Then decide for yourself.
