Dear Reader, Before tariffs were announced on "Liberation Day"... Stocks were trading at their richest valuations in history. More expensive than 1929... and just shy of the insane valuations we saw at the dot-com peak in 2000...  As we know today, the bubble found its needle... and it turned out to be tariffs. But today, after falling 24%, the Nasdaq has mostly recovered... And once again, valuations are near the highest in history. In moments like these, we must take a long hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves: Should we expect stocks to continue to trade at valuations history tells us only occur during massive bubbles? Or... Is the market offering us one final chance to take some money off the table before this bubble finds another needle? On June 5, my good friend and founder of Stansberry Research, Porter Stansberry, is returning to answer those questions for one day and one day only. Today, Porter sees a tale of two Americas, and it is hard to disagree... If you look on social media, you'll see people wearing designer clothes, flying on private jets, and summering in Italy. But the reality of life for middle-class folks and young people is a completely different story. The cost of food has gone up nearly 25% since 2020 alone... housing has gone up more than 20%... and the cost of transportation is up by 35%. In short: Most regular people are just doing what they can to get by. By "getting by," I'm not talking about being able to buy a new car every five years or go on a modest vacation. I'm talking about their ability to pay for groceries AND their rent without racking up credit card debt. Well, Porter says this is just one of many data points that tell him Americans are tapped out... and disregarding this situation will cost investors dearly. While the government's reported unemployment numbers remain near 4%... What you don't see in headlines is that more Americans are taking second jobs than at any time since the Great Recession – again, just to make ends meet. And 25% of Americans reported in April that they were now using "buy-now, pay-later" to pay for essential items like groceries... 
Meanwhile, if you turn on CNBC, all anyone talks about is what Mag 7 company will be the winner in artificial intelligence. Yet, one recent McKinsey report projects that over the next five years, 30% of current U.S. jobs could be automated thanks to AI and robotics. Only Porter thinks it is going to be much, much worse than any of these reports estimate. That's why he's returning for one day only this Thursday to hold an investing briefing that I urge you to sign up for and attend. We know you have questions... Well, Porter has the answers. On Thursday, he plans to explain: - Exactly how we got here...
- Why one of America's most commonly held retirement investments is more dangerous than ever before...
- The dangerous signal bonds are sending right now...
- The most likely "pin" that will pop today's bubble...
And most importantly: (Hint: It's not with gold, real estate, or any traditional hedge.) There are few people who have a track record like Porter's for both anticipating market meltdowns AND helping set his followers up to profit in advance. During the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the solution he gave his readers could've made them 77% and 71% gains in two months... In the throes of 2020's COVID crash, he recommended seven stock picks that could've doubled their money or more. On February 12 this year, he warned investors to raise cash and cautioned them not to buy highly valued tech stocks a week before the Nasdaq peaked...  And while the Nasdaq plummeted by 24% in the weeks that followed, the investments Porter said to hold rose by as much as 17%. But there's a very specific reason Porter is deciding to step forward at this exact moment in time... It isn't the collapse of a single stock or industry he's tracking... Instead, Porter says one of America's BIGGEST institutions is about to go BROKE – and that millions of investors are completely unprepared for the fallout. We encourage you to tune in on Thursday at 10 a.m. Eastern time to make sure you aren't one of them. You can learn more and easily sign up right here. Regards, Brett Aitken
