Your Personal Bank

Ironic that the advice always the same. Stay the course. Hang in the there. It will get better.

Yet, institutional investors, hedge funds, Warren Buffett have significantly reduced their exposure to stocks.

Hedge funds sold the highest percentage of stocks in early March 2025 since the 2020 COVID correction.

Warren Buffett sold the most stocks last year, both total amount and percentage, in his entire career.

The concern is the reciprocal tariffs that will take affect 4.2.25.

Even Trump has stated there will be a transition period.

The current administration is upending decades of economic status quo.

It is not Trump causing the uncertainty. The other countries' responses are causing the uncertainty.

Markets hate uncertainty.

The transition will be volatile. If the current administration is successful, the long-term benefit for the US will be tremendous for decades.

I believe we are in for a chaotic year and a bumpy economic ride this year. It would be wise to protect your assets. Diversify. Reduce your risk. Reduce your tax liability. Increase returns safely. Increase liquidity to take advantage of future opportunities.

This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best rates in 40+ years! Insured with guarantees.

- Your Personal Bank policies are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years!

- Fixed Index Annuities have the best upside potential in 40+ years with no downside market risk. The principle is guaranteed. Some offer signing bonuses up to 16% with strong upside potential.

- Guaranteed Lifetime Income is the highest in 40+ years. Some products offer up to 30% signing bonus. Other products offer up to 10% increased guaranteed lifetime income each year you defer.

The Trump administration wants:

1. Fair trade rather than free trade.

- Many countries have taken advantage of the US for decades.

- Reciprocal tariffs are fair, stop taking advantage of the US.

- Making things in the US eliminates tariffs.

2. Bring manufacturing back to the US, build things again.

- The US barely builds anything anymore.

- Important for national security.

- Increase good-paying jobs.

3. Reduce government spending

- Causes inflation

- Spending has exploded. Debt and deficit are unsustainable.

- If allowed to continue, the US would go bankrupt. Economic chaos.

- Eliminating waste, fraud, and theft help reduce spending.

- The US is financially in trouble. Think of the current administration as a turn-around CEO.

- Turn-arounds are challenging. Cuts have to happen. It can be ugly but is necessary.

The transition will be volatile. If the current administration is successful, the long-term benefit for the US will be tremendous for decades.

Your Personal Bank TM is a financial concept that strategically integrates financial tools from the banking and insurance industries

to continue growth on funds even after you access the funds for other purposes.

Your Personal Bank TM is a two step process. 1. A high cash value policy is established to maximize cash growth, insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, and highly liquid.

2. A bank line of credit is typically established using the cash in the policy as collateral to access funds.

Typically, the interest or dividends earned are higher than the cost of borrowing funds. This creates positive cash flow on money that is spent! This is known as positive arbitrage.

You are able to earn interest on money spent each and nearly every year for the rest of your life. Positive arbitrage has typically been 2-3% annually for the past 40+ years. What if you earned 1-3% on money you spent each year? You would have significantly more money to live on for the rest of your life!

Why is this one of the best times to add Your Personal Bank to your portfolio?

Insurance companies invest heavily in bonds. Bonds are highly interest rate sensitive. Interest rates have increased at the fastest rate in the history of the Federal Reserve. Bond interest rates are 2-3 times higher than they were a couple of years ago. Insurance company profits are increasing as well. Dividends are profits of the company, therefore, dividends are expected to increase.

When the federal government spends more than it receives in tax revenue, it has to sell bonds to issue the currency. This is known as deficit spending. Also, the government does not pay down the existing debt. It sells new bonds at the current interest rate when the previous bond term expires to "roll over" the debt.

Deficit spending is at all-time record levels. The overall debt continues to increase $1 Trillion about every 100 days.

This is causing the federal government to sell record levels of bonds. And the amount of bond selling continues to increase. To entice institutional bond buyers to continue buying bonds, the government is having to offer higher and higher interest rates.

Until the federal government starts spending less than it receives to start paying down the debt, the upward pressure on bond interest rates will continue. Vanguard and others have recently predicted bond interest rates will increase over the next 5-10 years.

The federal government fiscal irresponsibility creates an opportunity.

Many financial experts are calling this the "golden age" of fixed investments. Even if the Trump administration does everything right, some problems will take a while to fix. Debt is a major challenge.

Record levels of debt requires record selling of bonds. This pushes bond interest rates higher.

Until the government starts paying down debt, bond interest rates will remain elevated.

When bond yields (interest) increase, institutional investors tend to move out of the stock market and into the bond market. Many institutional investors like banks, insurance companies, and pension funds are focused on obtaining steady consistent cash flow to pay their liabilities rather than accumulation. These large institutional investors have the ability to move markets. Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Vanguard analysts all predict S&P 500 index returns will average 3-5% annually for the next decade. If the analysts are correct, Your Personal Bank dividends, annuities, and guaranteed lifetime income will all outperform the S&P 500 over the next decade without market risk and tax-favored.

The amount of money wasted by the Federal Government is astounding. This level of waste is not incompetence, it is fraud. $2.7 trillion has been sent to recipients overseas who were not qualified to receive Social Security since 2003. This corruption has been happening for decades. Social Security is not going broke. It is being stolen. Just like any fraud, the thieves should be prosecuted, and the funds should be refunded to the victim. The victim in this case is the US taxpayer. The taxpayer deserves a break.

Most of Trump's executive orders are not changing anything. They are using common sense and moving the country back to it's foundational principles. The level of fraud and waste being exposed are shocking. This is a revolution of bureaucracy versus democracy. It is as significant as 1776 or the Civil War. This will likely result in a generational shift in how government operates. Citizens will demand transparency. After this, they will not accept massive waste of their tax dollars.

President Trump has signed many executive orders. Some of the challenges will be resolved quickly. Others will take more time. The federal debt will likely push yields and interest rates higher for several years. Ferenc shares why this is happening. When bonds mature, the government sells a new bond at the current interest rate. About $3T of the $36T of total debt matured in 2024. That was an all-time record. Almost no one is aware that about $7T of bands will mature and have to be sold in 2025. This will push bond yields, interest rates, and borrowing costs higher. Multi-trillion dollars of bonds will mature each year until 2030. Expect higher bond yields, interest rates, and borrowing costs for years. How to thrive in a higher bond yield environment : 1. Pay down debt, particularly high interest debt. Your Personal Bank can accelerate debt pay-off. 2. Reduce market risk. Higher bond yields are a risk to stock market returns. Higher cost of borrowing tends to reduce company profits. 3. Increase returns in fixed assets to maximize returns. Dividend paying insurance policies, annuities, and guaranteed lifetime income historically pay the highest returns in the fixed asset space.
