  History suggests this debt-fueled boom will not end well…

Last month, U.S. companies made a record $248.9 billion in mergers and acquisitions. That’s the most M&A activity in a single month in history… and well above the previous record of $240 billion in July 2015. Incredibly, there could be even more on the way…

So what is driving this frenzy? As real sales and earnings growth has declined, many companies are becoming desperate to boost earnings any way they can. This boom may not end tomorrow, but it will end… and history suggests it will not end well.

$  The $50 Marijuana Investment Jackpot
Marijuana legalization is sweeping the country… A record-breaking 8 states just passed new laws for recreational and medical use. Already, dozens of tiny marijuana firms have begun skyrocketing by 100%, 300%, 500% and higher. This is your chance to turn a single $50 bill… into an absolute fortune. But you need to take action BEFORE January 1st… Click here to find out how.

  “The next time you’re feeling sad or angry, recognize there’s a way to become happy again…”

Think of the least happy people you know. What are they always talking about? Their accomplishments. Their troubles. Their hopes. Their worries. Their this. Their that. In short, themselves.

The truth is that paying attention to yourself doesn’t make you happy at all. In fact, the more attention you give yourself, the less happy you’re likely to be. Focusing inward can perpetuate your feelings of hopelessness.

PBRG founder Mark Ford says there’s a simple cure for this type of depression: Relax your ego.

$  “Give Me 10 Tons of this WHITE OIL, and Don’t Tell the Americans”
He didn’t buy it in Saudi Arabia… because they don’t even make White Oil there. He didn’t buy it straight from the source in Nevada… because he didn’t want to send its dollar price to the moon. (A top venture capitalist says that this sector is about to explode 33,700%—or more. And a well-connected security expert has described it as the world’’s most strategic commodity.) No, this Chinese warlord bought 10 tons of America’s revolutionary new White Oil… from a “secret” dealer south of the border. Now you can stake your own claim on this trillion-dollar global energy game changer, if you CLICK HERE.

  The “Trump Revolution” was no revolution…

Instead, Trump’s transition team is filling up with the usual suspects—hacks, has-beens, and Beltway insiders.

Will the new president allow real change?

Longtime PBRG friend Bill Bonner says Trump will just bring in a new group of foxes to guard the henhouse. As Bill warns, “Keep your seat belts fastened and your eyes open. And brush up on your Spanish.”

$  “Project Fedcoin” to Start January 1st?
The U.S. dollar is in crisis. Fed members just wrapped up a special “behind-closed-doors” meeting to discuss one of the most dramatic changes to our money in the last 100 years. A change that not only affects how we spend, save, and earn… But that will also transform the very nature of “money” itself. This currency expert explains the shocking details here…

  The combined debt held by U.S. public pension plans will top $1.7 trillion next year…

This “pension tsunami” has already forced cities like Stockton, California, and Detroit into bankruptcy. The primary culprit: lawmakers who’ve catered to the past demands of government unions to enrich benefits while passing the costs on to future generations…

In theory, the government is supposed to protect these pension plans. But in practice, the political process does the exact opposite. That’s why asking for lawmakers to “be more responsible” or “think about the future” misses the point…

$  ANNOUNCED: Switch To “World Money” Could Happen Sooner
If you’ve got any money at all in a U.S.-based savings account, please pay attention. On September 30, a brand-new kind of “world money” was released into the wild. Its purpose? Ultimately, it’s the currency that could replace the U.S. dollar. But now there’s been a NEW development… and it could dangerously accelerate this move out of the dollar. You need to take at least three protective steps before this happens. Find out what those steps are—and what this threat is—by clicking this link.

  Gold will continue to catch a bid, but gold stocks might lag physical gold prices for a month or so…

Wall Street is still looking at gold only as a chaos hedge. It’s saying, “Okay, we had some chaos during the elections. Gold rallied… but this is going to be a short-lived thing.”

But The Palm Beach Letter’s Teeka Tiwari says “The Street” is dead wrong: We’re at the beginning of a longer-term move higher in gold prices… based on a downward trend in a key economic driver few are paying attention to.

In today’s must-see 3-Minute Market Minder, Teeka says when this driver kicks into high gear… gold will take off. (Read Teeka’s transcript here.)

(Another asset’s caught a bid due to recent market uncertainty: cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s price jumped 3% the day after Trump won the election. Teeka likes Bitcoin but thinks another cryptocurrency could surpass it as the most popular in the world. Learn more right here.)
