The Devaluation of Everything

With President Trump's reciprocal tariffs taking effect today, I've said we're likely heading into a stretch of volatility.
 

Note from Marc: With President Trump's reciprocal tariffs taking effect today, I've said we're likely heading into a stretch of volatility.

That's why I want to share a timely letter from one of my colleagues, Dr. David Eifrig. He got his start 17 years ago as an editor at our corporate affiliate Stansberry Research, but today he serves as CEO of our parent company, MarketWise.

And now, in his first message to ALL readers in this new role, "Doc" lays out the tragedy he believes is unfolding in America right now, what he calls "The Great Devaluation."

Doc has spent half a century studying wealth and retirement and warned his readers about inflation months before it reached 9% in 2022... but today, he says this message is the single most important he's ever published.

Keep reading for more details...


Dear Reader,

This is one of those things that you've known deep down for a long time...

Even if you haven't quite been able to put words to it.

We are living through a "Great Devaluation" in America.

Your labor is worth less...

(Take a look at the chart here and see if you can "spot" where wages detached from productivity growth.)

Your time is worth less...

Your money in the bank is quite literally worth less than ever before.

Sometimes it's easier to notice the (relatively) small ways this Great Devaluation is unfolding.

  • Like those incessant tip screens trying to force you to pay someone else's salary at every transaction (no matter how minor)...
  • Or the sneaky consumer packaging that gives you less and less actual product for the same price...

To the situation today: Fees for even basic components of travel like a seat and a bag... and a dignity-free melee for space every time we normal folks board a plane.

Of course, the problem goes way beyond junk fees and miserable travel.

The Great Devaluation is the real force undoing American greatness.

No one in power will tell you this, because folks in both parties have been helping it along for close to a century.

It's happening by design...

Because it does benefit someone—just not you.

And it's coming for your nest egg... your retirement... and your personal freedom if you don't do something to stop it.

My first public act as CEO of MarketWise (the parent company to Chaikin Analytics) was to put together a plan showing you exactly what I recommend you do.

This is what I think literally every reader should do before you touch any other stock... investing strategy... or research letter in the market, period.

I'm sorry if this message is hard to hear.

But we live in a country where bridges are collapsing...

Where we can't keep airplanes safely in the sky...

And where folks in disaster areas are left to fend for themselves.

Does anyone seriously believe this same system is going to keep its promises to you about your pension... 401(k)... Social Security... or health care?

It's not...

And folks are going to get left behind in painful ways.

This message is the culmination of everything I've learned and reflected on in half a century of studying wealth and retirement in America.

And while I can't know your specific circumstances, I'm all but certain that this goes to the very heart of why you found our company and our work in the first place.

I'm putting it online – including the concrete steps I recommend you take now – completely for free for the next week.

Please take a look...

It's the single most important message I've ever published.

Here's to our health, wealth, and a great retirement,

Dr. David Eifrig, MD, MBA
CEO, MarketWise
Senior Partner, Stansberry Research

P.S. I almost never talk about my personal finances.

But I want to say this very clearly:

The strategy I outline here is what I personally do with close to 100% of my own investing money.

It's what I personally believe in and what I've done consistently (and very successfully) for decades as dozens of trends and fads have come and gone.

If you want to pursue wealth the way I do...

This is the way.
