A Green Light for American Birthright Opportunities
For those who have recently joined our community, the financial analysis you receive might seem overwhelming at first. Don’t worry… we are here to help by breaking down complex issues in meaningful and simple ways.
That’s why every week, I will answer select questions that you send into our mailbag.
Since I can’t talk to you personally (although I love conversations with readers at our company events), these Ask Me Anything sessions will give you insight into our trading strategies and what’s top of mind for me and my team each week.
Even though I can't give personalized investment advice, you can submit general questions, and we will publish a few selected ones on a weekly basis.
So, if you have any questions you would like me to answer, please send them along to askjim@paradigmpressgroup.com. We will select a few in upcoming Ask Me Anything sessions.
The mailbag included questions on Trump’s deregulating agenda, century bonds, and a major foreign policy blunder.
Here are a few:
Q: How will President Trump handle the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in allowing America to open its abundant resources to keep up with AI demand for energy resources? As deregulation is needed, do you believe he will disband the FERC? – Jeff W.
A: Trump will not disband the FERC. His preferred method in dealing with regulatory agencies is to capture them with his own appointees who are supportive of his deregulatory agenda. FERC will not stand in the way of opening U.S. natural resource development including oil, natural gas and uranium mining and processing. This is good news for investors who take advantage of American Birthright opportunities coming down the pipeline.
Q: Would issuing 100-year bonds be effective in reducing the U.S. national debt? – Tom R.
A: Issuing 100-year bonds by itself does not reduce the national debt. The Treasury would simply be substituting one maturity (100-years) for some shorter maturity (say, 10-years) without reducing the total debt. Still, 100-year debt might carry lower interest rates than other maturities because those instruments would be highly attractive to institutions with long-term liabilities such as insurance companies and endowments. A lower interest rate could save the government some interest expense, which could reduce the deficit slightly.
Q: Has Trump’s latest tariffs on India shaken the India - U.S. economic alliance against China? If so, how will this impact global trade? – Brenda B.
A: Trump’s tariffs on India are a huge blunder. The idea was to impose secondary sanctions on India because they buy oil from Russia and export refined products to the rest of the world. This effectively bypasses sanctions on Russian oil exports. The U.S. tariffs on India have not changed a thing. India has made it clear that they will continue to buy Russian oil. But the tariffs have soured a budding economic alliance between India and the U.S. The U.S. should ally with India and Russia in order to isolate China. Instead, the U.S. has alienated India and Russia and driven them closer to China. This will prove to be one of the greatest failures in the history of U.S. foreign policy. The impact on world trade will be slight but the damage to U.S.-India trade will be enormous.
