Why You're Losing Money: Assets Crashing, Inflation Soaring

Summary

We're entering a period where minimizing financial losses is paramount, as most asset classes are expected to decline. Several major asset classes have already seen significant drops: commercial properties are down by up to 80%, residential condo prices in many US cities have fallen 15% to 30%, and cryptocurrencies are down 50% to 80%. These declines are partly due to persistently high interest rates, which haven't fallen as anticipated. Furthermore, the official inflation figures are misleading. Real inflation, as measured by alternative methodologies and experienced through rising costs for necessities like insurance and healthcare, is actually between 7% and 12% annually. This means 70% of US households are experiencing a decline in their standard of living as costs outpace salaries. Governments are deliberately manipulating statistics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to reduce their debt interest payments and social security obligations. Internationally, China will likely support Iran in controlling the Strait of Hormuz, a move impacting global oil supply, though current oil prices at $91 are artificially suppressed despite ample supply. Precious metals like gold and silver, though currently in a correction phase after strong performance in 2025, are seen as a hedge against government money printing and potential economic disasters. Investors should prepare for a decline in real asset values, not just nominal prices, and consider accumulating physical gold, silver, and platinum. The market is manipulated upwards by a squeeze, and a massive decline is expected when it ends.
