Economist & Former Advisor To The Pentagon and CIA
“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
–Vladimir Lenin
I’m very fortunate to have a host of experts available at the click of a button. People who can offer advice, speak the truth and help all of us navigate choppy waters. But, there’s no one I turn to more than my good friend Jim Rickards, especially right now, with all of the chaos engulfing the economy.
Jim is a straight shooter who deals in facts and evidence. He’s forgotten more than most will ever know when it comes to financial matters, investing and geopolitical issues. Jim is the man that predicted the biggest financial crash in American history, but he says even that will pale in comparison to what is on the horizon right now.
Jim is a former lawyer and investment banker turned economist and bestselling author and if there’s one thing you can guarantee with Jim, it’s that he’ll leave you with more answers than questions, and offer some rock-solid advice for protecting your wealth.
These are no normal times, but if there’s one man who has been around his fair share of financial crises and economic upheavals, it’s Jim Rickards. Jim believes we’re staring in the face of a collapsing global economy, and he’s been right many times before.
Yes, on top of the war in Ukraine, sky-high inflation and an energy crisis that is continuing to spiral out of control, we now have the prospect of banks failing left and right, and what Jim describes as the biggest bailout in history, the repercussions of which are unimaginable.
Jim spent over 35 years smack bang in the beating heart of Wall Street, holding senior positions at some of the world’s largest financial service institutions including Citibank, Long-Term Capital Management, and Caxton Associates.
For many, Jim Rickards is the man who negotiated the $4 billion rescue of LTCM sponsored by the Federal Reserve, a crisis that came within hours of shutting every major securities exchange in the world.
For others, he’s the bestselling author who makes it a habit to top the New York Times bestseller list with his hugely successful catalogue of books including The New Great Depression, The Road to Ruin, The Death of Money, and Currency Wars.
