Government actions on cash?

Nick Hubble | 30 April 2020 Problems with cash – an unseen threat lurking in bank notes  Dear Reader,   If you haven't seen my urgent public warning yet – hurry! You'll discover why I believe hiding out in cash during the financial crisis could be a huge mistake.  One that could see your financial freedoms seriously restricted.  I have spent the last two years researching this threat and sharing my findings with my small circle of readers. But it is time to go public and warn everyone in the UK who has a bank account. If you believe the money you have in your account is 100% yours…   If you believe that it is sacrosanct, untouchable by third parties… If you believe that the government have no legal right to access any of your funds in a financial crisis… THIS IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL. You need to understand the severity of this threat. And the urgent steps you can take now to help shelter some of your money from it. A little effort now could save you a great deal of worry down the line. Click here – my warning about the spectre of financial lockdowns in Britain. Nickolai Hubble Chief Strategist, The Fleet Street Letter Monthly Alert   PS. What you need to understand is this: there are very disturbing contingency plans in place that could be enacted in the next financial emergency. Look around. Britain is facing an unemployment explosion, with our GDP falling off a cliff.        "Britain faces biggest economic shock in 300 years if coronavirus lockdown extends to summer Budget watchdog warns of slump not seen since 1709 under three month lockdown" – The Telegraph   In my view, you should ALWAYS be prepared for the worst case scenario… but now, with that scenario veering into view, it should be an urgent priority. Here's what you need to know and the protective options available to you.

Important Risk Warnings:   Before investing you should consider carefully the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.    General - Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments.    Overseas shares - Some recommendations may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Any dividends will be taxed at source in the country of issue.      Funds – Fund performance relies on the performance of the underlying investments, and there is counterparty default risk which could result in a loss not represented by the underlying investment. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with derivative exposure (leveraged or inverted ETFs) are highly speculative and are not suitable for risk-averse investors.    Bonds – Investing in bonds carries interest rate risk. A bondholder has committed to receiving a fixed rate of return for a fixed period. If the market interest rate rises from the date of the bond's purchase, the bond's price will fall. There is also the risk that the bond issuer could default on their obligations to pay interest as scheduled, or to repay capital at the maturity of the bond.   The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate certain activities, including the buying and selling of commodities such as gold, and investments in cryptocurrencies. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.   Taxation – Profits from investments, and any profits from converting cryptocurrency back into fiat currency is subject to capital gains tax. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change.   Investment Director: Boaz Shoshan and Charlie Morris. Chief Strategist: Nick Hubble.
