Savers Led to the Slaughter

The USD’s greatest enemy… [The Daily FWD] April 14, 2023 [UNSUBSCRIBE]( Savers Led to the Slaughter Good Morning Reader, When our editors got together this week, not everyone agreed on the state of the markets. Some are seeing the sun poking through the clouds… while others warned of stormy weather on the horizon. But that’s the beauty of having so many editors at your disposal. They won’t always see the markets from the same perspective… but you’ll get every possible angle in order to form your own opinions. So, whether you’re looking for opportunities to invest and start raking in some cash… Or if you are ready to batten down the hatches and protect your wealth… The financial minds here at the Daily FWD have the resources for you to succeed on this lovely Friday. Speaking of the Daily FWD, we received a question that we thought would be fun to address. This one was from Bob F. who asked “What does the FWD stand for?” First we want to say: thanks for subscribing Bob, we hope you’re enjoying the experience so far. The “FWD” stands for Forward. Every day we “forward” you a handful of our best articles from our esteemed editors. We take care to compile topics that make sense together and can give you a better understanding of what we see as the five most important areas of investing. Here at the Daily FWD, we also are looking forward to the future. What’s coming? What can you expect from the markets? What should you look out for? And most importantly: what will your financial future look like? Well, with our editors on your side every day, we can say that your financial future is already brighter than before we started.

Now, let’s get into what is top of mind for this week… [Click here to learn more]( Jim Rickards: The Government’s Big Lie There’s an urgent situation unfolding right now. The Fed can’t get inflation under control despite the record 10 consecutive rate hikes. This has led to three banks collapsing, 186 other banks hanging on by a thin thread and Credit Suisse being bought for pennies on the dollar. On top of this, Joe Biden is planning to retire the US dollar and replace it with the central bank digital currency, also known as CBDCs. We’re entering a new era marked by total government surveillance and control, the total destruction of the financial system, the end of the US dollar, the biggest bailout in history and the biggest crisis the world has ever known. No doubt, we have a real disaster in our hands. A disaster for the economy, our money and our freedom. Although the government keeps on reiterating that the “financial system is sound” and that “bank deposits are safe”, we are actually being led to the slaughter. Jim Rickards sounds the alarm on who is the greatest enemy of our U.S. Dollar in the interview below… [⇒ Read More Here]( [read more...]( Alan Knuckman: The Fed Played Their Cards Right You could call Alan a perma-bull in that he always sees somewhere that stocks are going up. In truth, he simply has an ability to zero in on opportunities no matter how the overall market moves and he cares about one thing above all — fundamentals. While some of his colleagues are predicting the dollar’s demise, Alan points out that we’re still above the halfway point of the dollar’s 35-year price… and it’s in no way cheap. And even when the dollar was down (or if it continues to go down), this wasn’t and won’t be catastrophic. When the dollar is lower, stocks go higher, which will continue to give investors a chance to capitalize off the situation and profit. Plus, Alan predicts there will be a rate cut by the end of the year. He says there’s a 67% chance that the rate hike in May is the last one. As much hate as the Fed gets, he makes the case the Fed has played this perfectly. They didn’t break the dollar and while it’s down, the market has profit-making opportunities ahead. Here’s an article about seven ways to invest when the U.S. Dollar is weak… [⇒ Read More Here]( [read more...]( Sean Ring: Biden Bucks Are Bad Enough. Beijing Bucks Are Worse! Sean disagreed with Alan. In Sean’s view, saying Chairman Powell — or Chairman Pow as he refers to him — played this situation perfectly is premature. Rate cuts haven’t even started yet. And looking ahead, the May meeting will deliver yet another hike. And as for the notion that we didn’t “break the dollar”, Sean points to what is happening across the world with countries seeking out secondary monetary systems outside established currencies. Like Jim, Sean has his eyes set on CBDCs. The shift towards digital currencies and the emergence of innovative technologies such as blockchain will have an impact on the dollar's status as a global reserve currency. As these technologies become more widely adopted and accepted, they may provide an alternative to traditional fiat currencies like the dollar. We know that America has plans in the works to pivot to a digital dollar. These CBDCs (Biden Bucks we call them) are bad news for the USD… but if you think Biden Bucks are scary, just wait till you hear about Beijing Bucks! The Chinese have built a parallel system that evades the dollar entirely — bypassing the western banking system. So, these Beijing Bucks are CBDCs between central banks, not bank-to-customer. The result could be far worse for the dollar system than previously imagined. If foreign entities can trade with other countries safely without using the USD, there’s no need to buy the USD. The dollar loses its underlying natural bid. And the West’s reaction to this? Pushing Biden Bucks even harder! Here’s the story… [⇒ Read More Here]( [read more...]( Byron King: Trading With the Enemy The Biden Administration and Neocon advisers thought that Russia was weak and would fold like a cheap suit. The Ukrainian army was supposed to kick Roosky butt. And yes, Ukraine has fought very well in so many ways. But armies merely fight wars. It's energy, industry & logistics that win 'em. And the truth is — Russia has all these things. Byron thinks the Biden team is utterly incompetent (Afghanistan kinda speaks for itself)… simply military idiots. As we know, American taxpayers are paying for the much-needed fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia. The Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there. But what we didn’t know is that Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments. That leaves America looking pretty stupid, don’t you think? To top it all off, global trade sanctions against Russia — over Ukraine we might add — led to insanely high oil prices which directly affected your wallet. Now, because of our involvement, the highest oil-producing countries just slashed future outputs, effectively cutting the legs out from under a key element of the Biden administration’s energy policy and exposing an American strategic blunder of immense proportions. Here’s what that means for investors… [⇒ Read More Here]( That’s all for today, we’ll be back Monday morning with more of our top articles. Talk to you then.
