The Answer You’ve Been Looking For

In the wake of Tuesday’s debate, Taylor Swift gave Kamala Harris her backing for president.

Maybe that tells you everything you need to know.

Either way, with a net worth of $1.3 billion, Swift probably isn’t too worried about the key issue the rest of us are…

It’s the economy, stupid.

Watching the candidates squabble for 90 minutes, it’s not clear they understood the assignment either.

When asked, “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” Harris served up an entrée-sized word salad with a side of waffle. The only shred of meat was her plan to give a $50,000 tax deduction to small business start-ups.

For his part, Trump briefly touched on import tariffs before straying onto the topic of illegal immigration. From there, Israel, Afghanistan, Ukraine, climate change, pet eating in Ohio, and political U-turns were thrown into the fray. Few, if any, straight answers or clear policies emerged.

In closing, Harris said Trump wanted to drag America backwards. Given that in his term the average yearly inflation rate was 1.9% and under the Biden/Harris administration it’s 5.7%, quite a few Americans would likely welcome a trip back in the old time machine.

Beyond that she talked visions, beliefs, aspirations, and hopes… and her intent to ensure the U.S. has “the most lethal fighting force in the world”… with the ink barely dry on the $95 billion U.S. military aid package Biden signed back in April, it’s questionable whether war-weary voters rank military might over the price of groceries.

Trump meanwhile said America was a global laughingstock headed for World War 3 under what he called “the worst president and the worst vice-president in the history of our country.” As to the solution… well, time was up. We didn’t get one.

My advice?

Don’t wait around for either candidate to come up with a plan, economic or otherwise, that works for you.

You’ve got to think for yourself. And think bigger. Beyond home borders.

The fact is, if everything you own is tied to the United States, the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. stock market, you’re putting your future in the hands of whoever wins the day on Nov. 5… and if it’s not the one you’re voting for then that could equal disaster.

The solution that’s been working for me for decades and that I offer to you now is global diversification.

It allows you to maximize your opportunities as an investor, regain freedoms long lost in the U.S., and provides ways to protect your assets, privacy, and legacy.

To be clear, this doesn’t have to involve a move overseas… the details are for you to decide… but being diversified offshore hands you that option should you feel the need to take it.

So, while the rest of America waits for the other shoe to drop, you can rest easy knowing how to sidestep coming chaos and make good your escape through a secret back door.

I’m gearing up to show a select group of my readers how to establish their own personalized Plan Bs when they join me next month in Porto, Portugal, for my Offshore Wealth Summit.

Along with more than two dozen of my closest and most trusted contacts we’ll share with those in the room 100% legal strategies to drastically reduce tax obligations, the inside track on the world’s best havens for bank privacy and legal offshore structures, where and how to profit from the best international real estate opportunities, and how to not only survive, but thrive and build wealth during the upcoming financial and political crises…

This, I believe, is the single most important wealth-building and wealth-protection event on my calendar each year. And this year, it’s more important and relevant than ever before.

A lot of people are playing the waiting game this election year. They’re holding out in the hopes things will go their way on Nov. 5.

I say there’s simply too much at stake for that kind of gamble.

A far better bet is to take decisive action now to stack the odds in your favor so no matter what happens back home, you come out a winner.

Stay diversified,
