January 5, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Dear Survivor, In my conversations with you, you’re telling me you want firearms training. And you want to know where to get it. You know about my professional training at Sig Sauer in Epping, NH here, here, here, and here. But not all of you can get there. My advice: Go to your local gun […]

A President Speaks: “Hard Work Never Killed Anybody”

January 20, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

“It’s true hard work never killed anybody,” said President Ronald Reagan in an interview in 1987, “but I figured why take the chance?” In the same year, he also said, “Tear down this Wall.” “When Soviet Leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev came to power in 1985,” writes Thomas H. Naylor in Secession, “who could have imagined […]

I’ve Been in Richard Young’s Maximizers for Years

January 20, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

In speaking with a prospective client yesterday, he told me he’s been in Richard C. Young’s Maximizers portfolio for years. He said he uses an advisor but told him, “Here’s what I want to own, can you do it for me?” And he did. Fast forward—after making a big contribution to the account this year, […]

Are $2,000 Checks Going to Rebuild NYC?

January 15, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You can’t rebuild the world’s biggest economy with printed money. Production and business are what really make an economy strong, not the number of dollars in circulation. John Cogan and John Taylor explain in the Wall Street Journal that these sorts of payments don’t do anything. They write: President-elect Biden is promising another round of […]

The Fed is Sacrificing Retirees to Save the Banks

January 15, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You may have heard three cheers from Wall St. recently when JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced its “highest-ever quarterly profit.” The bank, America’s largest at the moment, got an extra boost by recognizing that some loans it had previously written off were actually going to pay. Good for the bank, right? Sure, but to make […]

There’s Always a Way Forward for Americans Like YOU

January 13, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

How did you learn how to make money? In reviewing a package of financial documents with a prospective client last week, he included his social security estimates. It was like finding a piece of gold as far as I was concerned. Why? Because it showed me that he began working at age 16. I was […]

Do You Remember When NASDAQ Dropped by 82%?

January 12, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

If you’re not a client of mine, and know someone that’s loaded with tech stocks, help them take a look at the overlap in their portfolio.
