At some point, you’ll have to stop because the pain will become unbearable. This is how our Freeport Society friend Eric Fry – editor of Fry’s Investment Report and highly respected investment strategist and global macro expert – views President Trump’s tariff wars. The hope is that, eventually, the pain will force him to stop bringing the hammer down. Time will tell. And hope is not an investment strategy. So what do we do? U.S. markets are in freefall. As I write this, the S&P 500 is down nearly 6% today, as is the Nasdaq. The Russell 2000 is down close to 5%. The Dow is down a little more than 5%. It’s the same blood bath across the European markets with the London FTSE and German Dax down about 5% and the France CAC down just over 4%. Asian markets are faring better, but not by much. The Japan Nikkei is down just slightly less than 3% and the Hong Kong Hang Seng is down 1.5%. The top three questions on all investors’ minds right now is: What comes next? Is this the beginning of a major market meltdown like 1929… or 2000… or 2008? What do I do with my portfolio? Those are all good questions… and all difficult to answer in an environment where the president has his foot on the chaos accelerator. But, we can answer them, which is why I got Eric on the line to discuss what you should do now to not only preserve your wealth, but continue to grow it through this turmoil. Click here or on the image below to watch now.  As you’ll hear from Eric in the video, all the indicators point to us enduring a repeat of the 2000s… Many of the tech winners of the 1990s remained amazing businesses throughout the 2000s. But they weren't the best stocks. Amazon never stopped its transformation of the retail industry… yet its share price still dropped by 90% in the early 2000s. Microsoft remained dominant in operating systems and productivity software and yet still saw its shares go nowhere for 14 years. The market regime changed, investors rotated into other sectors, including value stocks and international stocks. The 2000s were a great time to invest if you had the right stocks in your portfolio. Eric believes we’re heading into a repeat of the 2000s. That means you too should rotate into different investments and even markets. Despite the current market mood, now is not the time to panic. Instead, look to the industries that Eric suggests in today’s video. Embrace diversification. Stay nimble. Keep reading. We’ll help you through this. To life, liberty, and the pursuit of wealth, |
