Financial repression.

How do you fight it? How do you beat it? What can you do as an investor when the strong arm of the government wants to appropriate your life savings?

You could accept things just are as they are.

You could try and invest your way past excessive taxes and restrictions.

Or you could just buy a yacht, sail off into international waters and conduct business as you see fit.

Ok, maybe that’s excessive, but is changing domicile and tax residency if you’re in your retirement years such a bad idea?

After all, if you think the government is heavy handed now, imagine what could be around the corner if they get really desperate.

If you think things will stay the same as they are, you’ll be in for a rude awakening.

Having seen first-hand around the world how governments always tinker and change and try to squeeze investors and their retirement savings, we know that what’s happening and what’s coming is to be expected.

In today’s Exponential Investor podcast, we bring in special guest, Nikolai Hubble from Fortune & Freedom to talk to us about financial repression and how investors can think about ways to fight for their financial futures.

What investments should be considered?

Are you thinking about how you hold your investments?

Are you thinking about where you hold your investments?

Are you thinking about how you can escape that heavy hand of the government in your later years?

If you answered “no” to any of those, then this is an episode of the Exponential Investor Podcast you absolutely don’t want to miss.

The market has bounced!

Hooray, we’re all saved!

Or… is it just a distraction from an ongoing gutting of the markets? Besides, why has the market bounced?

Isn’t a change in the mood of the US Federal Reserve (aka the Fed – that country’s central bank) supposed to decimate the growth market and make everyone sell up and move into value stocks?

As you know, growth stocks are those whose businesses are likely to expand sales and earnings very quickly over the coming years. Many are, in some way, tech related.

By contrast, value stocks tend to be long-established businesses that appear cheap in terms of a widely used yardstick such as the price/earnings (PE) ratio: often these companies pay a fairly substantial dividend.

When inflation in the United States has come in at 7% for December (year on year) it’s clear that there’s an inflation issue. We’ve been warning of this for at least a year now. The UK is sure to follow suit as well.

How do you combat the rise in costs and prices?

Well the smart money would be looking for investments that can pay you while gaining in capital value. But that’s not the whole story.

Also, it’s not just as simple as moving out of growth and into value.

It’s about balance and understanding what you might be leaving and what you might really be getting yourself into long term.

You might actually be getting yourself into a world of hurt long term just for some shorter-term chance to “make bank”.

Perhaps there’s more than meets the eye to this idea of rotating investments from growth stocks to value stocks because cheap money is just going to be slightly less cheap.

It could be that the real opportunity is actually in the very segment of the market that the market hates the most right now.

Specifically, this means stocks that show a trend towards greatness, but which are currently misunderstood.

It’s a nuanced approach to dealing with the market and your portfolio right now, an approach we think you need to know more about.

In today’s Exponential Investor Podcast we dive into the idea that moving from growth stocks to value stocks is far more dangerous than it first appears.

Well, we didn’t expect this…

The world’s mainstream media has turned on its masters before the population did.

Journalists are now openly questioning, investigating and reporting on what were considered conspiracy theories, falsities and impossibilities.

And it’s not just on the pandemic, either.

Inflation is overtaking COVID-19 as the biggest economic issue of our day. And the government is getting the blame.

2022 has begun with record Covid cases, a testing debacle and Brexit shenanigans. Some things never change…

However, the UK’s ability to deal with our challenges has changed. We are now sovereign. The question is, what’ll we do with that sovereignty? And what’ll it mean for our financial lives?

We’re back for 2022… although it might feel like we’re still in 2021, or even 2020!

If the market is anything to go by, well, it’s hard to tell which of those years we’re actually still in.

But while the markets might continue to behave in wild and unpredictable ways, that doesn’t mean an investor can’t make money out there.

If holding cash or risky growth stocks isn’t the answer – in fact, if there isn’t a single, easy solution at all – then what is an investor to do?

Well, in 2022 we hope to guide you through this conundrum, and share ideas and opportunities that you may not have considered before. Perhaps some tried and tested strategies to have fallen out of favour with investors in recent times may even see a revival.

One thing that might be a bit too much in terms of self-control is alternative investments like wine or whisky… Simply put, if you have a habit of drinking those “alternatives investments” then it may be best to steer clear.

And with markets as volatile as they are right now, then it would be very easy to look at a bottle of wine and decide to crack it open…

We discuss what investors should be thinking about at the moment as tech and growth stocks get hammered, China falters and the crypto market decides to collapse in on itself.

What to do, where to go, what signals to look for… even from the most unlikely and controversial of places.

All that and more in today’s Exponential Investor Podcast.…

It’s New Year’s Eve…

And we’re looking back at 2021 – which was another weird year.

If 2020 had been bizarre, so too was 2021. The unvanquished and frequently mutating Covid-19 virus continued to dominate headlines and – at times – financial markets as well.

But there were also other sources of weirdness.

Remember GameStop and AMC and the WallStreetBets short-squeeze phenomenon?

Meme stocks were all the rage early in 2021, as major market indices soared to new heights.

Of course, the second half of the year would prove to be very different – not least because it had become clear that the ascent of the aforementioned indices had been driven by a rather small group of very large, and technology-related, stocks.

Meanwhile, for people in the crypto world, 2021 was a year of two halves as well. Or, maybe, it was a year of two humps?

Either way, there are some important takeaways – takeaways that are very worthy of discussion – from the meme stock trading phenomenon, and the rise of the crypto markets into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class, to the words and deeds of Tesla CEO (and Time magazine’s Person of the Year) Elon Musk.

We dive into those takeaways in our 2021 Year in Review edition of the Exponential Investor Podcast.

And we also look at the most heartwarming story of 2021 that you didn’t know you needed to know about…

Have a safe, fun and festive New Year. We look forward to a successful and prosperous 2022!
