Yes, if this central bank digital currency is not stopped, then what happened with the truckers will look liker childs play. We will lose all of our freedoms, well we will lose what we have left I should say. Pray that people will wake up and stand up for our freedoms and for what is right. Start using CASH....then use more CASH ! Peace and blessings
Beyond the segregation of assets, brokerages also have higher deposit insurance than banks do. E.g., IBKR LLC claims they have $500k of SIPC coverage plus an additional $30M of coverage per account through Lloyds. Much more than the $250k FDIC coverage in US bank accounts.
US treasuries are one of the safest cash equivalent asset that a lot of wealthy people around the world store their wealth in. I mean it's like the FDIC account with a better interest rate and a better tax scheme for Americans excluding municipal bonds with less risk than munis. You are correct though if the US Treasury ever defaulted storing you money in just about any other asset will be pretty worthless too.
Thanks Michael. Yes people think they should open many FDIC insured cash accounts. But the simplest way to hold a large cash position is through short term treasuries. With regards to where and how, the US is climbing up the ladder, given their non reciprocation in CRS. Decent wealth amount in Wyoming trusts now. Coupled with IBKR accounts. Enough name dropping.
It should also be added that many wealthy people think in "real" terms or at least they should be. Meaning just holding cash, either actual cash or on deposit at a bank, has a built in loss in the form of inflation. Just as an example, from 2010 until now USD has seen a total inflation of about 39%. So if a person had buried 100k usd in cash, or put it in a 0% deposit account, they would have roughly $61k purchasing power in terms of the 2010 usd. If that same person had put it in a low interest account like most US savings accounts and earned 0.5% interest then they would have 106k usd after but in terms of 2010 it would have roughly 65k purchasing power. To be slightly better than break even in real terms over that time a person would have needed to earn about 5% compounding interest over that time period. Anything less is losing purchasing power over time. This is why rental real estate as well as heavy cash flowing businesses are some of the best ways to store wealth. Usually speaking one can leverage those assets too which can increase the gains in real terms quite dramatically over time. As an example, the median new home price in the US in 2010 was roughly $210k and in 2023 the sale of homes 10-15 years old have a median of roughly $350k usd. Rent can be described in terms of the value of the home and the percentage is different from one area to another and change over time but it doesn't really change that much. This isn't always the case though and the income can often shield one in some ways from drops in pricing. Rarely do rents lower in higher demand areas even when prices drops. Generally speaking rent is at least as high as inflation in terms of the value of the home. Meaning if inflation is 4% per year then rent should be at least 4% of the value of the home divided by 12 but most likely more if you account for fees, taxes, etc. So in the $100k example, and just assuming the relative numbers are the same from above, then if a person had purchased a home and rented it out they would have a home worth almost $200k in today's usd and would have earned about $95k usd in rent over the time they held the property. This isn't accounting for taxes and other fees but it also isn't accounting for potential to leverage the equity over time in addition to leveraging the income. Still owning property is much better than a bank and even many other types of business assuming a person is focused on the long term and "real" value
Would love to see a video on best places to setup brokerage account. (for active traders, possibly LLC?) Is it possible to do this while living in a higher tax country? love your videos
You forgot the one other safe location, on a blockchain. Granted picking the rick crypto or stablecoin is important. But even the government will have trouble taking it if self custody is used and they can get at your wallet or recovery seed.
Religion Compound & Social Organisation & Jail System (Compound) if one have enter jail before, one have no way of escape out. The jail is the best security system one can build and keep wealth security.
Interesting to hear this. I figured out this thing for myself years ago. But my motivation was different. I wasn't as concerned about insolvency of bank as I concerned that banks are more regulated, and thus can be more aggressive in their derisking policies than brokers. Since I'm russian citizen, I thought broker is less likely to close my account (because there is less regulatory pressure on them).
@@OffshoreCitizen I would personally look into gold vault storage solutions which aren't attached to any bank. I don't know much about it. Perhaps you can make video on this topic? Ideally it should be one or few visa free, easily accessible countries where to keep gold bars (HK, UAE?)
A brokerage account is someone making money off you so your best interests aren’t their main concern. Keeping your money with them is. If the dollar bill fails then in my opinion your money is gone because they invest it in the stock market which is tied to the dollar bill.
Thanks for this video. That’s really interesting subject, about risks in different ways of storing money. Really interesting to hear your experience and experience of your clients about it.
For a small share sure but it's an asset that tends to under perform so I wouldn't usually recommend a high allocation in it. We did a video on gold in the past discussing the details
The a right after 2008 they passed a law that when the banks fail we bail them out. It’s called a bail in. They can take your money out of your bank if you have more than 250,000. Sorry because f the situation we are in right now. Don’t listen to this guy. Maybe in normal times. Except the real estate option he said and as long as it isn’t in the US
I looked into swissquote some time ago and I think their problem was high fees. My suggestion is to stick to a few of the top 10-20 brokers. Just google the top ones ;)
I disagree that money in India is NOT safe. If the money is legally earned and saved in bank accounts in India it has very stringent law to safeguard money. One bank can not go bankrupt that easily in India. India is open democracy. Tax evader from India move the money to offshore. You are so prejudiced and annoying. Please correct, India is not China where Govt can confiscate your money.

The Canadian government also froze citizens' bank accounts for people who donated to the truckers' convoy! They really crossed the line with that.
Which is why I'm leaving Canada. And the lockdown plus vaccine mandates. Hell no

no they didn't - the froze the donation account for those rednecks who broke the law, just be a law-abiding citizen and you will be fine.

So many assumptions that everything is and will remain hunky dory as long as status quo remains, whilst forgetting that the whole system is broken
No. You're broke that's why you think the system is broken.
The excellent video explains how to protect yourself against bank failures. Now it turns out to be very timely!
Thanks!

You don't store money - you let it work.
Haha what's your strategy surrounding that?
Stocks?
I thought you were going to say life insurance or becoming their own bank
And what do you think of the options we provided?

Similar though with some differences. Falls into some comparable categories
