Key Concepts & Sites for F3A Investors
Today's securities marketplaces differ greatly from past marketplaces.
There was literally no such thing as a risk-free asset into 2021's year-end. Stocks, bonds, and real estate have always varied in price so investors knew there were elements of risk inherent in them. In 2008, even money market assets proved to hold some risk. And the almighty (is it?) dollar holds more risk than most Americans know.
On a long-term basis, every asset type will be affected by a host of forces that include fiscal policy (government), monetary policy (central bank), money-printing, inflation and more. Sovereign debt levels should be of major concern to all investors nowadays. The same goes for the value of your dollar which may not be exclusively the world's "reserve currency" much longer. When your gallon of gas goes from $3 to $4, the purchasing power of your dollar has lost 33% versus gasoline ... so, without becoming a currency expert, you may at least want to know how the powers-that-be are affecting you with their policies ...
Our goal is to manage investors' assets effectively through changing markets, while regularly educating our clients about the forces working against them, including the government, the central bank, Wall Street and others that are supposed to be working for them.
Data suggests those entities are working for some, particularly themselves, but definitely not all.
Following are resources we believe informed investors should explore, then visit regularly:
If you only pick two:
The Pete Peterson Foundation
The Mises Institute
More sites worth your time:
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Calculated Risk
Freakonomics
Liberty Blitzkrieg (Mike Krieger)
Matt Taibbi blog
Of Two Minds (Charles Hugh Smith)
Peak Prosperity (Chris Martenson - Crash Course)
Zerohedge
