One of the top minds in Washington is out with a shocking new prediction \u2026<\/h3>\n
Jim Rickards has spent close to 50 years working at the highest levels of Wall Street, international finance, and the U.S. government.<\/h3>\n
In that time, he\u2019s built a reputation for making calls that first seemed crazy \u2014 yet proved to be correct.<\/h3>\n
Back in the summer of 2008, he warned of a \u201cmajor market meltdown.\u201d And very few people believed him.<\/h3>\n
Yet within weeks, $8 trillion in stock-market wealth<\/a> was wiped out.<\/h3>\n
Then it happened again \u2026<\/h3>\n
In 2016, one major election model gave Hillary Clinton a 99% chance of winning the presidency. That\u2019s when Rickards went on multiple news programs to make a prediction that seemed insane.<\/h3>\n
He said Donald Trump would win \u2026<\/h3>\n
And once again, investors who saw what was coming had a huge advantage.<\/h3>\n
Then, along came 2020.<\/h3>\n
In January of that year \u2014 when the word \u201ccoronavirus\u201d was barely in the news \u2014 he sent a confidential memo to a small group of his readers, warning of a \u201ccontagion.\u201d<\/h3>\n
Three weeks later \u2026 the virus hit, and the stock market plunged 30% \u2014 the fastest crash in history.<\/h3>\n
Now Rickards is back with a new warning \u2026<\/a><\/h3>\n
\u201cThe weeks leading up to the 2026 midterm elections could bring about the most turbulent times in modern history.\u201d<\/h3>\n
What is he talking about? And what could it mean for America, your family, and your investments?<\/h3>\n
Rickards recently sat down and walked us through his prediction \u2026 along with a few defensive moves he\u2019s making with his own money.<\/h3>\n
For the time being, you can get the details right here.<\/a><\/h3>\n
