You didn’t vote for this…

Editor's Note: Porter Stansberry is urging Americans to prepare for what he believes could be a major reset of the U.S. dollar. He says President Trump has already set this change in motion — and has identified a core band of assets connected to the initiative that he believes could surge as a result. Below, Porter explains what’s happening and the three steps he recommends taking now... Dear Reader, Something strange is happening to your money. It wasn't voted on. It wasn't debated in the Senate. And most Americans have no idea it's even taking place but… President Trump is replacing the U.S. dollar. Not with crypto. Not with a digital currency. Something far bigger than that — and it's already been signed and sealed in the back rooms of D.C., ready to be issued by the U.S. Treasury. Bypassing every legal and political channel under the guise of "national security," Trump has enacted this total money reset using a landmark executive order (1421). Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, whether you support this new money or not, it doesn't matter. Soon, every U.S. citizen will be forced to use Trump's New Dollar to fill their gas tank, buy groceries, and pay medical bills. Which is why I've produced a critical new documentary laying out exactly what Trump's New Dollar means for your savings, your investments, and your family's financial future. Detailing three important steps you can take today to prepare — including the name of a core band of assets connected to Trump’s initiative that could surge as a result. As you’ll see in my briefing, the last time America reset its money like this — under Richard Nixon’s presidency in the 1970s — it created one of the greatest wealth divides in the history of our nation. On one side, it minted an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over half a century. And on the other… the folks left behind, drowning in debt, with no idea how to use America’s new money to create wealth. As Trump rolls out his new dollar, the question is: Which side will you be on? Good investing, Porter Stansberry P.S. If you’re wondering what Trump’s new money will look like, when it will be issued, what it means for your investments — all of those questions are answered in my briefing.

Running on financial fumes and lacking formal training, the scrappy American colonies took on the most powerful empire on Earth...

In 98 Days, We Beat the S&P 500 by 1,300% By Vic Lederman, publisher, Chaikin Analytics Running on financial fumes and lacking formal training, the scrappy American colonies took on the most powerful empire on Earth... Next to the British Empire, the colonies had nothing. Britain outmatched them in experience, troop numbers, funding, and weapons. It looked like an impossible war to win. We all know that the colonies went on to pull off one of the biggest upsets in history. Like with all underdog stories, there was something that gave the colonists an edge... Strategy. We see a similar underdog story play out in the markets repeatedly.  You see, the "smart money" often decides which stocks surge and which ones fall. In case you're unfamiliar, I'm referring to the biggest institutions on Wall Street. These big-time investors have more money, tools, and manpower than regular folks could ever dream of. Now, it's important to note that regular investors trade among these titans every day on the stock market. And if you couldn't guess, the "little guy" is at a huge disadvantage. Of course, that dynamic doesn't look likely to ever change. Just because mom-and-pop investors face a built-in disadvantage doesn't mean we can't attempt to level the playing field... Many of our regular readers know that our founder, Marc Chaikin, spent decades working on Wall Street. After he retired, he grew tired of seeing firms rake in profits while the average American struggled. The story took a personal turn in the 2008 financial crisis. A bad broker lost half of his wife's retirement fund. This experience inspired him to bring one of his most powerful tools to the masses. I'm talking about the Chaikin Money Flow indicator. Marc created a way to track the trading patterns of these deep-pocketed investors... and make money with that data. This is just one of the 20 factors considered in a Chaikin Power Gauge rating. But it's so useful that Marc devised a trading strategy based around these smart-money moves. That strategy helps average investors pocket quick profits... even as the markets swing up and down. It's one thing to talk about these gains. But to understand the true potential of this strategy, you need to see it in action... Recommended Links: New Power Gauge Project Lets You Capture Payouts in DAYS On September 1, Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin will reveal a novel way to use his Power Gauge system to target regular payouts like $713, $1,166, $1,488, and $2,608 in as little as seven days. Marc says an unusual market event that has been quietly building for years is hitting a breaking point – creating more income-generating opportunities than he has seen in nearly six decades on Wall Street. He'll explain exactly how this strategy works and share one of his best recommendations for free. Reserve your spot today. Billion-Dollar Companies Without Humans? Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang projects "frontier AI" could soon be running billion-dollar companies – without any human involvement. Right now, there's only a small window of time to position your money before this "godlike" AI technology cleaves the market into two classes of stocks – winners and losers. Get your FREE investment playbook here – and make six simple money moves before the market closes today. Following the Smart Money to a 40% Gain in Three Months Just a few days ago, Marc and his readers locked in a big win with retail giant Target (TGT). On April 8, I shared that Target overtook competitor Walmart (WMT) after falling behind in 2024. At that point, the smart money wasn't too interested in Target... That didn't last for long, however. Wall Street soon took an interest in Target and rushed to buy shares of the stock. On May 21, the Power Gauge flashed a "Chaikin Money Flow Buy" alert. Marc saw this setup and moved fast... That same day, Marc sent a midday alert to readers of his paid publication Smart Money Trader. In that alert, he recommended that they buy shares quickly. Readers who followed his advice ended up holding their shares of Target for 98 days. Three days ago, Marc advised these investors to sell their position. In the end, they walked away with a 40% profit from Target. Over the same period, the State Street SPDR S&P 500 Fund (SPY) grew a meager 3%. Put simply, Marc's strategy helped investors crush the performance of the S&P 500 Index. It's important to remember that this gain may not be typical. And though the Power Gauge still gives the stock a "bullish" rating today, there are now several weak points in the setup. So we would urge caution before buying Target now. But this is not the only time Marc has blown away the broad market by following the smart money. In fact, next week Marc plans to share how you can trade these smart-money moves, too.   Learn How to Get an Edge Over Wall Street On Tuesday, September 1 at 10 a.m. Eastern time, Marc will lay out exactly how he leverages smart-money moves to his subscribers' advantage. This is how he locked in a 40% gain in three months with Target. But it has also uncovered other quick, double-digit gains in stocks like Ciena (CIEN), Coherent (COHR), and Tower Semiconductor (TSEM)... all just this year. Now you'll get the chance to follow these moves with Marc. And you'll see how to make money off the backs of the biggest investors on Wall Street. This event is completely free to join. All you need to do is register ahead of time here. This isn't an event you'll want to miss. I hope to see you there!
