Have you visited the Federal Reserve's website lately? It seems everyone's favorite gang of unelected money maestros has quite the opinion of itself. A proud blue masthead at the top of its site claims it provides "a safe, flexible, and stable monetary and financial system." Hmm. Yeah... That's not happening. [The #1 Stock Under $5. Check it out here.] Empty promises from Big Gov are nothing new, of course. We can look back 150 years and see that folks in charge had the same overarching goal as today's do-nothing politicians... Stay in power. By any means necessary. Whether that means pushing an agenda that has no chance of becoming reality... or simply lying to constituents... Like, say, denying that we're most certainly heading toward a recession... The actual numbers tell a different story. Which do you trust? The No. 1 Threat to Your MoneyIt's been said in these pages again and again. It isn't inflation, geopolitical turmoil or even crumbling stocks that pose the biggest threat to your money... It's the folks in Washington. Just look at what a difference a few years makes... In the chart below, we see the performance of the S&P measured against the increase in dollars flowing into crypto. The blue line represents rising interest rates. The trouble for investors, as you know, kicks in right around the start of 2022. The mere notion of a rate increase was enough to pop the crypto bubble. And while crypto was the most speculative of all "frothy" trades... it certainly wasn't alone. Nearly everything has sold off as the Fed has yanked rates higher. The chart doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. Investors have grown quite accustomed to near-zero rates. And they don't care for the sudden intrusion of reality. It was more of the same as Jay Powell doubled down last month, bumping up rates by another 0.75 points. The question is... Will he keep his firm hand? The fates of 401(k)s, IRAs and pensions around the nation are in the balance. Good NewsYou might be wondering just how this all came to be... How the whims of an unelected few could have so much power over us and our economy. The good news is... you're a Manward Financial Digest subscriber. We've got the answer for you - along with some other crucial ideas - RIGHT HERE, in our special "Fed primer." It's yours, totally free of charge. And I urge you to check it out sooner rather than later. Because the info we've packed into this almost 40-page e-book has never been more vital. Very few folks these days have any idea about... - The unscrupulous origins of the Federal Reserve
- The powerful men who attended its first meeting
- How, in modern times, it's completely rewriting the rules of investing.
If you don't already understand just how much power the Fed wields over your money... prepare to be blown away. When prices surge... we don't want to be buyers. We want to be sellers. That's why this unique strategy is an ideal way to play rising inflation. It creates a prime income stream that should easily keep pace with rising prices. If you're unfamiliar with the idea, it's pretty simple... Keep reading. It's the type of resilient opportunity every investor is searching for right now. In this week's Stock of the Week, Alpesh looks at a well-diversified stock that was up in 2018... up in 2019... up in 2020... and up in 2021. And guess what? So far this year, despite chaos in the broad markets, it's up AGAIN. Find out why Alpesh thinks the company still has room to run in this week's video.
