You know how I feel about keeping what you’ve made and perhaps working a side hustle.

You also know the benefits of working with someone who can be unemotional about your money.

The entire country is emotional today. My RAGE Gauge, which measures Americans’ perception of risk in their lives, has been pegged at the maximum reading of 120 for months. To say that Americans are on edge is an understatement.

You can tell Americans are nervous about the future by taking a look at their gun purchases. In just the first ten months of 2020, Americans purchased more guns than in any complete year before. Americans have already made over 30 million gun purchases this year, and the last two months of the year are usually the most important for gun shops, with Black Friday being one of the biggest days of the year for gun sales.

E.J. Smith is Founder of YourSurvivalGuy.com, Managing Director at Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd., a Managing Editor of Richardcyoung.com, and Editor-in-Chief of Youngresearch.com. His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris. Please get in touch with E.J. at ejsmith@yoursurvivalguy.com
