Every Shutdown Ends the Same Way... Here’s How to Profit

Every Shutdown Ends the Same Way… Here’s How to Profit

I’ve been covering financial markets for nearly four decades.

I’ve watched politicians and central bankers drag the market through wars… interest-rate shocks… and debt ceiling theatrics.

Outside of who we vote for, there’s not a whole lot we can do about that. And getting hung up on what you can’t control is a recipe for emotional and monetary poverty.

Here’s why I’m telling you this…

At 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday, the U.S. government shut down. Expect headlines screaming panic. Choppy markets. And talking heads warning of catastrophe.

That’s because over the coming days, we could see 750,000 federal workers and contractors furloughed (perhaps even fired) while Democrats and Republicans fight over the national budget.

Friends, I don’t talk politics much in my newsletters. My mission is to find ideas that help everyday folks build and protect their wealth. And do it no matter what the economy is doing or political headlines are screaming.

Here’s what I’ve learned about these shutdowns: At the end of the day, the politicians make a deal… and nothing really changes.

So whatever the outcome of the shutdown, I don’t want you to be paralyzed by fear – especially a fear about something you have no control over.

Because in investing, there will always be situations you have no control over.

We’re still in a bull market for stocks, metals, and crypto. And in a bull market, you buy into the pullbacks, you don’t sell into them. So if we see some sharp downward movements, use them to buy more of the best-performing ideas.

The key, though, is identifying where the opportunities will be. I’ll show you how I did that during the last government shutdown, the longest in history.
