No matter where you live or where you’re from, it’s hard to avoid the U.S. election. Whether we like it or not, whoever holds that office has tremendous power and will undoubtedly affect the geopolitical landscape over the next four years.

In today’s episode, I am joined by two of my Expat Money team members, Marc Clair and Remso Martinez – who happen to be Americans and experts on U.S. politics. The three of us have a roundtable discussion about the recent election of Donald Trump and its potential impact on expats and your offshore plans. We explore what his promises around tax cuts, deregulation, and government downsizing could mean for Americans living overseas and why an offshore Plan-B remains essential in today’s volatile political landscape. Enjoy!

TODAY’S CONVERSATION ABOUT THE U.S. ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP:

• Join me and two American experts as we discuss Trump’s election victory, analyzing its immediate impacts on the U.S. economy and global conflicts.
• We explore the broader cultural shifts following Trump’s win: does it mark a turning point against wokeness and lockdown policies?
• Discover how the Internet and Trump’s last-minute campaign podcast tour played a role in his election success.
• Can Trump follow through on promises to cut government size and drastically reduce taxes? We share predictions on the direction his presidency could take.
• How did Trump achieve this victory? Marc and Remso unpack the conditions that paved the way, along with why this election didn’t see the same “shenanigans” as in 2024.
• Should Americans still create an offshore Plan-B and/or become expats with Trump as President?
• We delve into Trump’s potential impact on the BRICS alliance and its push towards non-dollar payment systems—will the trend towards de-dollarization continue under his presidency?

CONCLUSION

The entire reason I do this show is to share the strategies that actually work – the strategies that I actually employ in my own life – and to motivate others to seek shelter from what’s to come by diversifying offshore. This webinar is one of the most important I have done, and I hope it really helped drive home how you can take action now to get your Plan B in place before it’s too late.

I’ll see you all next Wednesday!

Peter Schiff is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. This is a conversation that I was originally a part of this year’s Expat Money Summit, and I wanted to share it with you today to give you a taste of the sort of exclusive content I bring to the Summit every year. 

Peter Schiff is someone who I have followed for years, and I think he brought tremendous value to the Summit with this conversation. Enjoy!

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH PETER SCHIFF

• Listen to Peter’s take on the most recent trends in the price of gold and how it’s affected by inflation and government deficit spending.
• Hear Peter’s early 2024 election predictions and what it will mean for the U.S. and global economy.
• Find out why Peter fears what I have been saying all along – that when the crisis hits, the government will make it very difficult for Americans to escape. This is why I always emphasize acting now! 
• Listen to Peter detail why failing prices, aka deflation, can lead to companies making more money, contrary to the popular opinion of many ‘mainstream’ economists. 
• If you think the headlines showing 20% inflation looks bad, wait until you hear Peter’s breakdown of what sort of inflation we’ve really experienced in the last few years.
• Find out why Peter believes the banks are currently in worse shape than they were during the 2008 crisis.
• Will the Federal Reserve continue to attempt to fight inflation or just let the banks fail? Hear Peter break down this no-win situation. 
• Hear Peter’s thoughts on why he didn’t get any mention in the film The Big Short for predicting the 2008 crisis. I had never heard him talk about this before!
• Find out Peter’s thoughts on some important topics like CBDCs, and a potential gold-backed BRICS currency. 
• Lastly, you won’t want to miss Peter’s predictions on what’s to come in 2024 – and how you can best prepare.

CONCLUSION

It was so great to finally speak to Peter Schiff and have him as a speaker at the Expat Money Summit. I have been following his work for years, and I’m so glad I was able to share this important discussion with everyone who attended the Summit and now with you all here today if you missed it then. 

Peter’s message echoes what I have been saying for years – the time to act to protect your wealth from the financial crisis that is unfolding is yesterday. Whether it’s getting your money into offshore investments or starting the process of acquiring a second passport, it’s essential to stop waiting around and take action. Those who do so will certainly be in a better position in the years ahead than those who sit around doom-scrolling all day. 

Until next time, I’ll see you all back here next Wednesday!

Johnny spent 15 years in finance managing a billion-dollar fixed-income portfolio before he quit his 9-5 job and abandoned his life in Chicago to pursue the life he always wanted but never thought was possible. 

He currently lives in Mexico, where he now practices and teaches Futures and Forex trading while opining on politics, current events, and economics on the Peddling Fiction podcast. 

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY PROFITA

• Listen to Johnny recount how he “fell into” the world of finance as someone for whom math ”wasn’t one of his strong points” – with a degree in history, not finance!
• Hear Johny lay out some of his rules for trading, most of which he had to learn the hard way – by making costly mistakes.  
• Johnny and I discuss the difficult but necessary task of removing feelings and emotions from the trading process. 
• I recall how some of the lessons I learned myself the hard way by losing money in my options trading days.
• Johnny explains his motto for trading: “1% day keeps the 9 to 5 away.”
• Hear Johnny describe the disturbing trend with IPOs over the last couple of decades which has seen many retail traders left holding the bag. 
• Johnny and I discuss the outlook for new traders looking to enter the market now, as high-interest rates have put an end to the flow of free money.
• Will the dollar remain the world’s reserve currency for much longer? Johnny gives his prediction of what’s in store for the world’s currency markets. 
• We discuss the fine line between being prepared for what is going to happen economically without acting like “The End” is always around the corner. 
• Lastly, Johnny highlights the sharp increase in happiness he has found since leaving his “abusive relationship” with Chicago and starting a new life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

CONCLUSION

What I had first planned as a conversation about Mexico turned into an important conversation about the nature of trading and how to avoid many of the same mistakes Johnny and I have made in our own time. Once the conversation turned to Johnny’s experience on this, I just had to dig in deeper, as it’s a topic we haven’t covered extensively on the show yet.

See you next Wednesday!
