How to *really* keep your money safe

Nickolai Hubble | 1 July 2020 What coronavirus really taught us… Dear Reader,   Do you always agree with the government’s actions?   Primary schools reopened on 1st June as part of the government's plan to restart the country.   I know half of the parents didn't like the decision.   But it doesn't matter...   The government knows better. (At least it thinks so…)   The Education Secretary said that school is the safest place for children.   Isn't it funny?   The same government that told us to go for herd immunity...   Then forced us to go into lockdown...   Is now telling us to send our children back to school.   It's as if the rules are being written on the fly to better serve the administration's agenda...   It's about rules that I want to talk to you about today.   Did you know that during the last financial crisis the government passed a law that gives it control over YOUR money?   And by that, I mean, YOUR MONEY could be used to rescue a bank that needs a bailout.   Why would such a law exist?   Maybe it’s because a bank is the safest place for your money (that’s what the government would say)…   It looks like the government, again, knows better than you and me, right?   And certainly, a law would never be abused.   After all, it's never happened in a civilized, modern society before.   Just ask Sharon Connor – a British citizen in Cyprus.   When the bank bailouts happened there in 2013, her £155,000 (from the sale of her Cyprus house) was locked out of reach.   I'm sure the Cypriot government knew better... and the banks really needed that money more than Sharon Connor, who had recently lost her husband.   If the coronavirus has taught us anything is to expect the unexpected.   And prepare for it.   That’s why I want to show you six smart steps to take immediately to help shield a small portion of your money from potential danger.   The danger could be a bank bailout…   Or a market crash…   Or something completely out of the blue.   I will show you strategic ways to help shelter your capital in times like these.   I have used measures like these before… and shared them with tens of thousands of investors in previous crises.   >> Click here to start protecting yourself, your family and your money immediately   Best,   Nickolai Hubble Chief Strategist, The Fleet Street Letter Monthly Alert

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.
