US Treasuries Are NO LONGER Safe

Join us for the next Nomad Capitalist Live event:

In this video, we cover reporting indicating that United States treasuries are no longer a safe bet. Mr. Henderson explains how the US's exorbitant privilege has led to out-of-control deficit spending and debt levels that should scare away investors. He also reveals other countries with better fiscal discipline where investors could consider purchasing government debt and potentially obtain a residence permit or citizenship.

Nixon defaulted on us debt by closing the gold window

"This is not from some crack pot news service. This is from Reuters". lol.

Incorrect about "the right wing" at least in Finland. The left in Finland is very eager to implement things like exit taxes, etc, and the right wing is thankfully pushing against that. May be different in the US of course, but Trump has mentioned the possibility of ending citizenship based taxation. That would be grand for those who want to live elsewhere, because renouncing your citizenship is still a big deal.

Us dollar no longer call shots. Embrace the BRICS initiative.

Wait, wuuut, the government isn't my benefactor and silent partner in my success? Who knew! Yet, the US government wants people to believe that without the government, we would not have any chance of achieving even a modest quality of life. We're expected to be good tax cattle and stay on the pasture without question, sure, there are some rudimentary fences and obstacles to dissuade most of the tax cattle from leaving for greener pastures. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

A US Presidents priority should not be to make it easier to leave the US but to make and keep the US so desirable you have to reason or desire to leave. Unfortunately we have moved so far past that. The US is no longer that desirable to live in. Unless maybe you are handed everything, at the expense of the taxpayer, when you cross the border

When I lived in Azerbaijan I received 17% interest on my savings account!

Right now bond yields are climbing up and the dollar is strengthening because of the resources are in short supply. Now is the time to believe Main Media, like a head like from Reuters? This is a good way to lose your shirt. If you know nothing about Bonds or markets, consult a financial advisor, NOT some headline. Do your own research and homework.

[RWROW]

"No longer safe" is over-stating the situation. Fair comment would be Treasuries are no longer as safe as they were. The text books do need to stop equivalencing them with zero risk. There is no zero risk financial asset in the world today.

Hillary Clinton would have been better for wealth than Donald Trump??? 😂😂😂

[eaglesfan]

To Andrew's point on Trump. Even if Trump wins, it is (at best) a 4 year reprieve for the markets and maybe the direction of the country.

[JohnDoe-ivyu]

This won't happen overnight... but it WILL happen!

[basook]

USA Govt. is printing $1T every 100days, and interests payments is $1.2 T... what value does USD have???

[rebeccarenner]

Spot on Andrew. The jacket you are wearing is classy. Nice look

[orenalbertmeisel]

I would only invest in 6 month or one year US treasuries, when there's an acceptable yield like right now.

5 years or 10 years? GTFO

[melissamelissa]

Some people are saying that Trump won’t tax anyone at all, not even a penny and so he’ll make everything more ok than it’s been in a long time.

Mexico is still the best value for residency. You do not have to give them your money you just have to show them that you have a minimum amount to get residency. Also the real estate there is a great investment. Belize is even easier you just have to go there and stay for a year as a tourist.

I understand your customers are wealthy. Most of u.s. are not. You do however have knowledge that the reas of us could benefit from. How about tossing us a bone? A video for middle class Americans. I for one have 150k cash and some house value, where can I go buy some bonds or a house and get a visa?

[Evangelionism]

I wanted to hear Andrew do his Trump impression here 2:58 😄

I'm an American and I wouldn't buy them
