When building a well-diversified portfolio, you can find it beneficial to keep an ear to the ground and an eye on financial headlines. Knowing what may be coming our way—good, bad, or indifferent—creates opportunities for us to reexamine our asset mix and make any adjustments that could support a healthier financial outlook and, perhaps more…
On July 8, 2023, reports started coming in that RT, Russia’s state-run media outlet, had announced that a bloc of nations known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) would be introducing a new trading currency backed by physical gold. The concerns over this new currency, as well as a continued pattern of…
Once again, we find ourselves in a place of economic uncertainty with no clear consensus about the future. On June 27, 2023, CNN reported that “Americans are feeling far more confident about the economy,” and on June 28, 2023, President Biden said that he “doesn’t think is going to come,” citing slower inflation and a…
On June 26, 2023, the chairman of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) announced that the central bank would soon issue a new central bank digital currency (CBDC) on Switzerland’s SIX digital exchange. While the release is part of a pilot program, chairman Thomas Jordan said that “this is not just an experiment” and that the…
I’m the sort of person who prefers to act rather than react—especially when it comes to protecting myself and my family against an uncertain future. Take your car, for example. Would you rather have a good insurance policy before or after you get into an accident? The same goes for my financial portfolio. Even when…
As someone who consumes a lot of financial news, I understand how it can often feel like we, as portfolio owners, are never allowed to let our guard down. For example, on June 13, 2023, Reuters reported that U.S. Bancorp CEO Andy Cecere foresees a “moderate” recession of the United States, and on June 12,…
As we near a potential deal regarding the federal debt ceiling, some Americans are breathing a sigh of relief. The chances of our nation defaulting on its debts have been lowered, at least for now. But inflation continues to impact our wallets, and we’re faced with an important question: Even if the debt ceiling is…
A few days ago, I wrote about the importance of protecting the things we value most. For most of us, that means working extra hours or putting extra effort into making financial plans. But for others—for those who have served and continue to serve in our nation’s armed forces—protecting what matters most can come with…
When you hear the key phrase “the things that matter most,” what comes to mind? For many Americans, I imagine family and individual freedoms are close to, if not at, the top of that list. I know when it comes to my financial decisions, I always keep my children in mind—for both how I can…
On May 16, 2023, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that “the U.S. economy hangs in the balance” if lawmakers don’t act swiftly to increase the U.S. debt ceiling—the total amount that the federal government is allowed to borrow. The debt ceiling may be reached as early as June 1, 2023. As regular readers of “Gold…
I recently ran across an April 28, 2023, MarketWatch article with a headline that begins: “America’s personal savings just hit $1 trillion.” It then goes on to ask whether CDs, I-bonds, or online savings accounts would be the best place to put that extra cash. I’m a big believer in being prepared. It’s why I…
On April 20, 2023, MarketWatch reported, “The U.S. economic index sank 1.2% in March and fell for the 12th month in a row, continuing to signal a recession later in 2023.” That same day, Fox Business reported, “The Fed says a mild recession is in the cards this year.” A day later, on April 21,…
