How to Invest As the U.S. Becomes a Banana Republic
The U.S. is rapidly turning into a banana republic.
All the signs are there:
- Phony (or unpublished economic data).
- Rampant corruption.
- Loose monetary policy/ currency devaluation.
Let’s start with #1.
Rather than publishing fake data like China, the U.S. has simply stopped publishing its economic data. The alleged reason is that the government shutdown, but we all know that if the data was good, the Trump administration would have found a way to publish it. After all, as the President routinely claims, the economy is fantastic and arguably the best of all time.
The lack of economic data is not the only thing pointing towards the U.S. becoming a banana republic. Regardless of which side of the political aisle you sit on, it is clear that corruption is rampant throughout every major institution in the U.S. Congress is full of people getting rich off insider trading, bills are passed that no one even bothers to read, people commit major felonies and aren’t even indicted let alone arrested, heck… the central bank which controls the value of the U.S. dollar has people who commit mortgage fraud, insider trading and worse deciding economic policy!
Which brings us to #3: the U.S.’s banana republic monetary policy.
The U.S. dollar has lost a THIRD of its purchasing power since 2008. Heck, it dropped 10% in the first six months of 2025 alone. And this is BEFORE the Fed starts printing money again (the Fed has in fact been DRAINING liquidity from the financial system over the last two years).
As I write this, the $USD is sitting on a 15-year bull market trendline. When this goes, inflation will return to the financial system in a big way. Higher inflation is a hallmark banana republics/ emerging markets.
Ok, so now the big question is… how do we, as investors, profit from this?
Hard assets.
Stocks are up 15%. That sounds pretty fantastic until you consider that hard assets like gold and silver and up 60% and 97%, respectively.
They’re not the only hard assets soaring. Copper, uranium, even coffee prices are up more than stocks!
On that note, we just published a Special Investment Report concerning FIVE secret investments you can use profit from the next major bull run in hard assets.
The report is titled Survive the Inflationary Storm. And it explains my top precious metals plays, including their names, their symbols, and the resources they own. These are HIGH OCTANE positions that are already up 40%, 120%, 120%, 140% and an incredible 450% this year alone!
Normally I’d charge $499 for this report as a standalone item, but we are making just 100 copies available to the public.
To grab one of the last remaining copies…
