3 Powerful Reasons ‘Safe Money’ Investing Works So Well

Highly rated stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ...

A healthy dollop of precious metals and mining shares ...

Income-generating investments to counter interest rate repression ...

Those are the kinds of investments I’ve been urging you to focus on for the last several months.

And I’m happy to report they’re delivering exactly what I’d hoped: sustainable income and sizeable gains.

All but four of the open recommendations in the Safe Money Report model portfolio was profitable as of last Friday. Several are up by double-digits, with gains as high as 52%.

Meanwhile, Weekend Windfalls subscribers have had the opportunity to rake in thousands of dollars in income over the past few months. That’s despite the Federal Reserve’s ongoing zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) approach.

Not every position works out. Losses can and do happen. And individual results will vary depending on entry and exit points. But the gains mentioned above speak to the powerful — and profitable — results a “Safe Money” approach can deliver.

Let’s consider the three forces driving them ...

1) Rock-bottom interest rates from the Fed, coupled with $120 billion per month in quantitative easing (QE), like buying Treasury and mortgage bonds ...

2) Enormous amounts of borrow-and-spend fiscal aid flowing from Washington ...

3) The gradual reopening of the economy, courtesy of aggressive COVID-19 vaccination efforts ...

Now, ask yourself if any of that’s going to change meaningfully any time soon.

The answer is clear to me: Heck no.

Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell is likely going to keep interest rates pegged to the floor for years, while only taking token steps toward dialing back QE this year and next.

President Joe Biden is going to keep pushing for trillions of dollars in spending on everything from infrastructure to climate change.

In fact, his budget outline from last Friday called for a whopping $6 trillion in spending for fiscal 2022. That number would climb to $8.2 trillion by 2031.

As for the pandemic, the U.S. vaccination rate keeps climbing even as the pace of improvement has slowed. Local, state and federal restrictions are also easing, and life is gradually returning to normal.

Unless and until these powerful trends show signs of shifting, there’s only one smart thing for you to do: Stay the course.

We’re having a great run here, and I want to help you squeeze every last penny of profit out of these markets while this environment persists.

Until next time,

Mike Larson
