Save Yourself (And Save Your Wealth)
The key is making sure YOU don’t get caught with all your eggs in a basket tumbling to the floor.
The way you avoid that is to CHOOSE to diversify your money.
As the review of the 2008 crash illustrated, you never want to have 100% of your investments in one place or type of investment.
And yet millions of Americans -- maybe even you -- might find that a careful look into their portfolios will reveal that their savings are indeed 100% dollar-based.
They’re in stocks, bonds, ETFs, and cash or cash equivalents.
It looks like diversified investing on the surface. You might have some energy stocks, some tech stocks, and some banking stocks.
But at a larger level, it’s all dollar-based stocks.
Now that you know about the different outcomes for investors
in the 2008 crash, you can decide for yourself how comfortable you are with a 100% dollar-based stock portfolio. Or, you may now feel that you’d prefer to diversify yourself and protect a portion of your money from the declining purchasing power of the dollar and the dangerous swings of the stock market by adopting a “crash protection strategy”.
One of the safest, easiest ways to do that?
Precious metals.
