What’s at risk of breaking when governments are behind money expansion distortions?

Potential break #1: The purchasing power of our currency

Potential break #2: Lower-income Americans who can no longer make ends meet each month

Potential break #4: Higher for longer inflation

Potential break #5: A fracturing of our nation’s social cohesion

So, what do you do from an investment perspective? Balanced diversification.

Tread Carefully in Today’s Market

The mania in tech stocks today far exceeds the 2000 bubble.

by Porter Stansberry

First, stocks as a percentage of household assets are at an all-time high of 35%.

Second, the market today is more concentrated than ever before.
The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 Index now equal roughly 35% of the entire index’s value. The only other time the market was even close to this level of concentration was during the Great Depression.

Finally, the stock market is suffering from a growing lack of “leadership.”
