The fundamental secret to becoming a wealthy investor is having the ability to anticipate the future. Right now, gaining that foresight is remarkably easy due to two undeniable factors.

First, governments will continually print fake money, guaranteeing an ongoing increase in the National Debt. As a direct result, inflation will keep climbing, ensuring that anyone relying on saving dollars will consistently lose out.

Second, the war in Iran is a holy war pitting Christians and Jews against Muslims. Because this conflict will never end, the cost of oil is destined to keep climbing, causing even more inflation.

For many years, I have warned that the individuals who will suffer the greatest financial losses are those who blindly drink the Kool-Aide. Following the traditional advice to go to school, get good grades, get a job, pay taxes, save money, and invest for the long term in a 401k or RRSP filled with a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs is a critical mistake. Additionally, the claim that US Bonds offer a secure haven is perhaps the biggest lie of all.

We are currently navigating a worldwide oil, debt, bond, money, banking, and inflation crisis. In times like these, the only thing that will truly keep you secure is yourself and the specific financial education you choose to acquire.

Throughout most of my life, I have known that if something can be printed, it is inherently fake. To me, this concept even extends to college credentials such as Bachelor Degrees and MBAs.

Therefore, I consider the best safe investments for 2026 to be tangible and digital resources. For me, that means real gold, real silver, oil, food, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

Please do not just take my word for it. I encourage you to examine the facts and determine what is real for yourself.

Take care.
