Felix Prehn - The Global Monetary Reset Has Begun (Hint: Gold, Bonds, Japan are Just the Start) + Stock Market New 07 September 2026 · Felix Nikolas Prehn's Podcast

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: You literally have 11 days left.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: 11 days until a deadline that no one's really talking about.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: And it's gonna hit the money in your bank account and in your portfolio, whether you're paying attention to it or not.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: The president of the United States gave the people who print your money, the Fed, an ultimatum.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: And the actual words, and I'll put it on the screen for you, is something like lower the rate, or I'll stop trading with countries with which we have a deficit.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Lower interest rates, or I start this incredible trade where we haven't seen.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: And he called high interest rates a very fair disadvantage and told the Fed to be patriots.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: And this ultimatum comes to you on September 16th.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's the day the Fed walks into a room to decide interest rates, which the market is currently expecting to go up.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: He wants them to go down.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: But something much stranger and bigger is actually happening at the same time.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why I really, really wanted to put this out for you.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And apologize, the audio might be a bit windy and so on on the beach.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: But there are pallets of actual gold being loaded onto planes and flowing out of America right now.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Country after country pulling their gold home for the first time since 1971.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: And the last time a president leaned on the money printer while the world pulled his gold out, what happened to the dollar?
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what we're going to cover today.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: So this isn't ancient history.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's literally a playbook that we've seen again and again, and it's literally happening again right now.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't care whether you love Trump or you can't stand them.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Forget your politics.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's not what this is about.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Because when the printer starts answering to the politicians, the people who understand it early do really, really well.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: But everybody else spends a decade or two watching their money shrink, which is what we've seen in the 70s and again after COVID, right?
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: How does inflation feel to you right now?
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: So the Trump thing is the loud, noisy thing.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's in the news.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: But there are four much quieter things that are happening at the same time.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: And people are not connecting them.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: And that's really why I wanted to put this out for you guys, because I want you to understand this.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's really, really important.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: The system itself, like the plumbing under your bank account, your pension, your 401k, is being reset right now, not sometime in the future, and I'll show you the data for it.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Gold is walking out of American bolts.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's getting shipped home to Europe.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: The biggest, safest, most boring pile of money on earth literally just announced it's dumping a chunk of America's debt.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: 21 of the largest banks on the planet, think Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Bank of America, they're teamed up and they're building a new dollar.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: And again, for some weird reason it isn't in the news when it's like the biggest thing that's actually happening right now.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: And at the same time, Japan, the country that I covered a few weeks back, that wiped a trillion dollars off Wall Street, turns out that was not the earthquake, that was like the first tremor, which is maybe not the greatest analogy referring to, you know, to Japan.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I love Japan, but you know, there we are.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: So four separate things, but they're actually all tied together.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: And by the end of this video, give me 10, 15 minutes or so, you're gonna see the whole machine and how it actually works together and know what a regular normal person like you and me can actually do about it.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: So we're not gonna panic, we're not gonna like, you know, run for the banker, we're gonna have a plan, right?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: My name is Felix Bryn.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm sitting on the beach.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: I used to be a banker, and I started teaching this stuff to regular people about seven years ago.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: And we've taught about 25,000 people over the last seven years as my mentors doing the teaching.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: And none of this is sponsored and not, you know, ever endorsed by gold mine or any of that nonsense.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, fair enough people do that, but I'm very lucky I don't need to, so I can just give you my opinions.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's all this is.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a financial advisor.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: I can give you my opinions without any filter, and that's really my goal here.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: So um, there's gonna be a lot to cover here because we're having like four or five things together, and I'm gonna put all of that together for you into a uh into a free report.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: You can download that, I'll do that after I have a dip.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um and and and you can download that at um feedexprends.org slash shift, ethic.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's really what this is.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: This is a shift in the entire, well, in your portfolio, quite frankly.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Feedexprends.org slash lift, it's in the description.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh download it, it's free.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: But the fact that you're even watching this so far is is is incredible because it puts you ahead of 99% of people.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because most will find out about this in a headline in about six months or 12 months.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna get it to you, into your brain today.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: So give yourself credit for showing up and watching some financial education here.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because the trap most people are sitting in and don't even know it is this.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: When the world feels a bit shaky, you want to do something safe, right?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: And for 40 years, the safe thing is mean put your money in an index fund.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's generally the sort of accepted uh, you know, gospel.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Buy the SP 500 and just don't think about it.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's diversified, it's America, it's always going up, right?
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Great.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Except every single thing I'm about to show you attacks that very idea.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: The gold leaping, the debt being dumped, the digital dollar that's coming.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's all the world quietly saying the old safe isn't really all that safe anymore.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And if the definition of safe is changing, the most dangerous thing you can own might be the very thing that you were told is the safest thing to own, right?
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and if you own the SP 500, and most of you do, I I do, everybody does, right?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's in your 401k, it's in your Roth IRA, it's in your pension, and so on, you feel like you're spread out and safe and diversified.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: But 40% of that is just 10 stocks.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: And this year, those same 10 stocks drove 72% of all your gains.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: So when someone says to you, I own 500 stocks and the SP 500 are undiversified, you actually don't.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: 72% of your returns are coming from just 10 companies.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: And guess who those 10 companies are?
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: They are entirely AI companies.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: And those 10 companies are the most expensive, most crowded, most dollar-dependent names on the planet at valuations we've never seen in the history of the world.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Right at the moment, the world is backing away from the dollar.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to believe me on that, by the way.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Two of the most careful, most respected value investors alive, like the calm ones, you know, the ones who are supposed to love a boring index fund, won't touch them.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: One of them, a man named Charlie Munger, called his best friend.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: One of them is Warren Buffett's own company.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: They quietly sold their SP index fund, right?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: And he was telling everybody to buy that for decades.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: And the single most bullish voice on Wall Street, the man who called this entire rally year after year, is now warning of a 20% drop.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: So you get the biggest bull and the most careful bears all backing away from it.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: And you might definitely want to know what to do about it as well.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what we're gonna do, not this week, but the coming weekend, um, when I'm probably no longer on the beach.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: I might still be, who knows?
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm gonna run a free life training.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: And it's the first time we've run this.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's probably the most important thing we've done, and probably the last time we're gonna run it, and it's called the index fund trap.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like why the SP 500 is actually lying to you.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do it live, we're gonna do a real Q ⁇ A, you can ask me anything you want.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'll show you how to check your real concentration and all of that.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll show you where the smart money is going instead.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Because when the smart money leaves those 10 names, it's gonna go somewhere else, but it's gonna leave the people who are in those 10 names that you're in pretty devastated.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: And it's completely free, no credit card, no catch, anything.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a part of like what I what I love doing, which is teaching you um how this really works.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: So show up for yourself, right?
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna show up for myself in the comments down below.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Claim your free seat.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's at indextrap.com.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: Indextrap.com, and that's precisely what it is.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: But let me show you the machine that's happening right now so you understand more than most, even before the week's out.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: So let's start with gold, because gold is kind of the lie detector of the financial world.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Gold doesn't have you know earnings, it doesn't have a CEO, it doesn't, you know, tweet and all of that.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: All gold does is sort of sit there and it tends to hold its value why while paper money slowly loses it.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: And for 80 years, a huge chunk of the world's gold is sat in one place.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: The volts under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is allegedly a tunnel to JP Morgan, but that's a rumor I can't confirm.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so countries stole their gold in America because America was the safest, most trustworthy place on the planet to keep it.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's basically the deal.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: But that deal is breaking.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: And look at what's actually happened here.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: The Netherlands pulled 86 tons of its gold out of North America just and they shipped it to London.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: France finished pulling out 129 tons out of the New York petrol volts.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Germany moved about 300 tons of its gold home again out of New York.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um now, the central bankers will give you a very calm, very technical reason for it, you know, liquidity, you know, uh preparedness, uh, trading standards, blah.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, okay.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: Stip away the jargon, but the only question is this why after 80 years of leaving your gold in America, because it was the safest place on earth, would you suddenly go to all the cost and trouble and risk of physically shipping at home, right?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you only do that for one reason.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: You want it where you can put your hands on it.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: You want it out of somebody else's control.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: So this isn't some technical BS, it's just it's a trust decision.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: Trust is breaking, trust is leaving the building, literally on pallets and on planes.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: And if you think, okay, someone moved a bit of gold, so what?
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let me tell you about a guy called Jan Newenhuis, and I can't pronounce that, I believe he's Dutch.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: He tracks this stuff sort of obsessively, and he put out a reminder this week of what happened the last time, the last time this happened.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: And you gotta go back to 1971, the Netherlands, same country.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: Funny enough, um, and and they asked to convert$250 million it was holding into actual gold, because back then the dollar was basically backed by gold and you could swap one for the other.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: And a young American official was sent all the way to Amsterdam to personally beg the Dutch not to do it.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: That official's name was Paul Volker, a man who'd later become the most famous central banker in the history of the US.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: And the head of the Dutch central bank refused.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: So he wanted the gold, and Volker said to him, This is a real quote, you are rocking the boat.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: And the Dutch chap said, Um, if the boat capsizes because I asked to swap$250 million for gold, then the boat's already sunk.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: So what happened next?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: A month later, in August 1971, President Nixon went on television and slammed the gold window shut forever.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: He cut the dollars linked to gold completely because too many countries were showing up asking for the real thing America didn't have enough of.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: That one night is the reason your dollars a day is backed by nothing but a promise and a money printer.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: That was the last great monetary reset, and it started with one small European country, the lovely Dutch, asking for its gold back.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds a little familiar, right?
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: But forget the history books for a second.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: There is the part that actually matters to you right now.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: What came after 1971 wasn't some weird economic footnote.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: The 10 years that followed were the great inflation of the 1970s.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Price Lee roughly doubled.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: The value of the dollar in your pocket, it saved it carefully, well, it evaporated.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's what a monetary reset actually feels like.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's not some dramatic crash on a Tuesday afternoon and then a you know taco Tuesday on the afternoon.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: It is a slow bleed, it's a little every month, and most people have no idea for it, no plan for it, they don't know it's coming.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: So for me, gold leaving the US is the smoke, but there is always a fire when there is smoke.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I think this is the most important bit I want to explain to you.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: When the US government spends more than it takes, and which is always right, it makes up the difference by borrowing.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: And the way it borrows it, it sells you IOUs, and they call them treasuries because it sounds fancy about their IOUs.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a piece of paper saying America owes you money uh plus interest, and and for the last, since World War II, the world is lined up to buy them because lending America money was the safest thing you could possibly do.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: And that constant reliable demand is what kept America's borrowing cheap.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's kept your mortgage rate low, kept your car loan, your credit card all lower than it should be, and everything is tied to it.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: So watch what just happened.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Norway, right?
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Again, we're in Northern Europe, they run the biggest sovereign wealth fund on the planet because they have a lot of oil, and it's just a giant national savings account.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: $2.3 trillion.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: The most conservative big pool of money in existence in Norway, just formally proposed cutting how much government debt it holds.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: And they're going to slash it by about$80 billion of those US treasuries, those US IOUs.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: So you've got the single most cautious, large investor on earth stepping back from America's debt.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: And there is something even more alarming.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: The list of historically reliable buyers of America's debt is getting longer.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Japan, the Gulf states, Norway now.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: The steady dependable buyers who always showed up are just not showing up.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: So why should you care again?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't this some random thing in the financial world?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if fewer people want to lend America money, America has to offer a higher interest rate to tempt them.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: The same way you'd have to hire, you'd have to offer a better rate to borrow from a nervous friend.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: And when America's interest rate goes up, yours goes up, your mortgage goes up, your car payment goes up, the interest on the national debt goes up, the cost on building your infrastructure goes up, the cost of building data centers goes up.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: Everything is financed.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: So this is America's master switch behind every bit of your financial life.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: And the switch is being flipped.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: And this is where Japan comes back, and I'm not in Japan, but fairly close to it.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because a few weeks ago, I talked about Japan a lot in a video in the Yen, and a lot of you watched that, and I want to be very clear about something.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: That story was very real.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: It was a warning show.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: So for those of you who didn't watch it, I'm going to give you a sort of one-line summary of that.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: The United States spent a fortune propping up the Japanese currency, and that briefly cracked a giant hidden trade.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: And the Wall Street has wiped out about a trillion dollars of stocks in 40 minutes.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: But the point today is bigger.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: That Japan wobble wasn't a one-off Japan problem.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: It was the first place the pressure cracked, the weakest seam, if you wish.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: But now we have gold walking away.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: We have Norway backing away.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: The president leaning on the Fed in a way that we've never seen before.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: So yes, different countries, different headlines, but it's the same machine groaning underneath the same weight.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: And once you understand all that together, you kind of see this is not a coincidence.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: And you line them up, it is the symptom of a system being reset.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: Japan was the start, but what I'm talking about today is the reality right now.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: So if the old system is straining, the gold's leaving, the debt buyers are backing off, the question is, well, what replaces it?
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: And here's the part that unsettles me because they are not actually hiding it.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: They're building the replacement in front of your eyes, and it's just not making the news.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't understand why it isn't the making the news because it's like the most important thing in the world.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: On September 1st, 21 of the largest financial institutions in the world, literally Goldman Sachs, City, Bank of America, UBS, and others, announced they're forming a company to launch a US dollar stablecoin.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to launch in 2027.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, what's a stable coin?
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, forget about crypto.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's got nothing to do with crypto, actually.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a digital dollar.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's a dollar that lives on a computer network instead of in a paper note or a normal bank account.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: And you can move it around the world instantly, like 24 hours a day, there's nothing you need in between.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: And there is an actual law called the Genius Act that lets us lays out the rules for it.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: There's a Euro version is being planned to follow.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: So for you Europeans, you're not safe either.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: And JP Morgan's not even joining that group.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually building its own.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's how important they think of this.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: Again, you might be thinking, well, why do I care?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Dollars are dollar, right?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, here's why.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Money that lives on a computer is money that can be tracked, moved, and managed in ways a paper note couldn't.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: Whoever builds the rails of a new dollar gets an enormous amount of say and power about how money flows, who can send it, how fast and under what conditions.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not here to tell you that's good or bad today, although I'm obviously leaning towards the bad.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you that the people building it are the biggest banks on earth alongside the government.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you and I are not on the rim.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: So when something this fundamental to your life gets built without you, the least you can do is understand and know it's being built and what it means.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: So the dollar is being rebuilt into something digital by the levies on Wall Street.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I can tell you, when you build new infrastructure like that, there'll be winners and there'll be losers.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: And the people who just keep their money parked in the safe old thing because nobody told them something new was happening, well, they tend to be on the wrong side of it.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that brings us all the way back to September 16th, the deadline I mentioned at the top.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: The Fed decides on rates.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: The president has told them he wants a cut or else, literally a threat.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: And you see that one thing that's meant to make the dollar trustworthy and that's meant to make people want to lend the US government money, is that the people who print it are separate from the people who spend it.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: The Fed is supposed to be able to say no to politicians.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that war, boring as it sounds, is a huge part of why the dollar is trusted and has been trusted for the last 80 years.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: So when a president stands up openly and puts pressure on the Fed to cut rates to juice the economy, and at the same time threatens trade war once again with its trade partners, well, people notice that.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: They think, well, if the printer now answers to the politician, how much do I really want to hold at this currency?
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: So they buy gold, they trim their treasuries, and they build new digital things that they control, which is precisely the four things that we just watched happen, right?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: Can you can you start to see it put it all together?
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's one machine.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Trump leaning on the Fed, the gold going home, Norway stepping back, 21 banks building a dollar, Japan cracking.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's it isn't five things, it's actually just one thing.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: It is the slow, deliberate remaking of the money that you have and earn.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not a forecast.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not telling you this is something that could happen.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's happening right now.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's already started.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: So what do you actually do about it?
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not I'm not here to scare you.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's really not the goal.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: So, what do you actually do about this?
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm not here to scare you.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm and leave you sitting in the dark, right?
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm my goal is to actually prepare you.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to be really clear before I say this.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a financial advisor.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: This is not financial advice.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not registered with anything.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's just me telling you how to think about it, and bear in mind Winston isn't here, so you know who knows what I'm gonna say.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm just gonna tell you what I learned from my Wall Street mentors to help you then make your own decision.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, first thing, don't hold too much of your life in cash.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that sounds backwards when things are scary.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: Keep an emergency fund, yes, three to six months of expenses.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you could possibly hold that in short-term, short-term US debt, essentially, because the interest rates don't move much, but cash could also be okay, some sort of savings account.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but beyond that, cash is definitely the thing that's gonna get taxed really, really badly by this money printing.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: When they print, the rates get pushed down to please a politician and the value of the paper in your account will leak guaranteed.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so cash is an ice cube in this ice cube in this tropical climate.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: Second, own things that hold their value when the paper money comes under stress.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Historically, that's meant hard things that can't be printed.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Gold is an obvious one.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh again, don't go 100% into gold.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: That'll be a silly thing to do.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: And there's another thing you can do, and that's what I also do.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um pieces of genuinely great businesses.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: Companies with what's called pricing power, which just means they can raise their prices without losing their customers.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: Inflation shows up, they ride it, you know, they don't get crushed by it.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: Look at what the president just bought.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: He bought Visa and MasterCard, not telling you to buy those, but those are, you know, those kind of businesses that have a very, very stable moat because, well, try launching a new credit card and getting into the hands of you know 300 million Americans.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, good luck with that.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: So if you if you wish, the place where I start with that research, it's the Winston app, which is what I built for myself and I shared with you guys now.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you can go in there, you can click on stocks, and you can pull up all the stocks.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: We show you score for all the fundamentals, we show you the moat scores, the highest quality stores, and so on.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Again, you've got to come to your own conclusions.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to do your own research, but it's a great place to start.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I do.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll I'll put a free one-month trial for you guys down there so you're not completely rudder-less and you actually have a place to start your research.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: Again, link is down below.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't like it, just cancel it.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's completely fine.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and look, you don't have to do all of this by tomorrow.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to bet the house on a single idea.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: Don't run out and panic and sell everything.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, this isn't about going all in on, you know, gold or something.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's about not being 100% exposed to the thing that's most in cross-house.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it's giving yourself a few things that tend to hold up, and the paper doesn't, some small, sensible, maybe slightly boring moves that might make you a little bit calmer.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's really the whole thing, right?
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I bought some railway stock in the last few weeks and stuff like that for exactly this reason.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Boring, simple businesses that actually make money.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna walk you through what's writing on this, how we write this thing, how we potentially come out of this to thrive, and we're gonna do that live together, step by step, assuming zero knowledge.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to be a genius at all for any any of this.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: So everything we just went through, the gold on the planes, the debt being dumped, the digital dollar, the president leaning on the Fed, Japan cracking, it points to an uncomfortable thing, right?
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what we've been told it's the safest thing in the world to do, put your money into the index fund.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that index fund is riding on just 10 companies.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: 72% of all your gains in that index fund come from just 10 companies.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: And those index, those 10 companies are the most expensive that any market has ever been, the most concentrated.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: And this reset, this shuffle in the markets is, I think it's gonna hit people pretty hard.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Not today, not tomorrow.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know when.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not one of another doom and gloom, you know, predictor.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm just saying the warning signs are there.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: You don't get the US bailing out another country if the stock market is glorious and everything is wonderful.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what next Saturday is for.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a free live training.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's called the Index Fund Trap by the S P 500 is lying to you.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna show you life, how to deal with it where the careful money, the skilled money is moving instead, how to build a plan now before the headlines.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's completely free.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's just the financial education you should have always had.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: So grab yourself a seat at indextrap.com.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: Links in the description.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, write show up in the comments.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna we all know that you're gonna show up for yourself.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: It might encourage one or two others to do the same thing.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: To me, the reset is stuff.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: The only question is, and it's the one that really matters, is like which side of this are you gonna be on, right?
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: Are you gonna notice it now?
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Are you gonna be prepared now and come out a winner and thrive?
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: Or are you gonna be unfortunately like many people?
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that's really why I do this.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's like don't wish for people to go through what they went through in 2000, go in 2008 if it's really painful for a lot of people.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: And then I think it's largely avoidable.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: So if you've got some value out of this, shop for yourself, share it with somebody else who might get some value out of this too.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I thank you for watching.
