    That’s not politics, that’s smart fiscal policy. Trump is bringing intense geopolitical instability to the dollar.

      There is a reason that gold is in the biggest bull run of all time, and has eclipsed the one in the late 1970s sparked by the U.S. abandoning gold backing for the dollar. We’re witnessing the demise of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency in real time, and central banks have been loading up on gold in preparation for what comes next.

    Divesting makes perfect sense economically. Even if US stocks continue to grow, the USD is going to crash. They’re doing it on purpose.

    Pension funds must fucking sell their bubblified NVIDIA meme stocks right now.

    Buy Bombardier, SAAB, Alstom, Rheinmetall, Siemens Energy, ASML, Airbus, ABB, Skanska.

      Get off the US dollar ASAP. If Trump does this, it’ll plummet to out of the top 10 currencies. One that happens, since we don’t make anything the rest of the world needs/wants. The US will become a third world country over night.
