Escape Artist Insiders: Inside our December 2023 “Diversification” Issue

When it comes to putting together a Plan B, the main driver truly is Diversification. Diversification in your assets and investments, diversification in the currencies your hold, diversification in where you spend your time and money.

Our December 2023 “Diversification” issue of Escape Artist Insiders magazine is an early Christmas gift for anyone who is thinking they want to get moving on their Plan B in the new year. This issue is packed with actionable advice, along with insights that may help you gain a new perspective on where things are heading in the world.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the articles you’ll find in our December 2023 “Diversification” issue of Escape Artist Insiders Magazine. Click here to subscribe and get your copy now!

Diversify Before It’s Too Late by Michael K. Cobb

In this article, Mike Cobb discusses the potential economic issues that could arise with the mass retiring of the Baby Boomer generation.

It is estimated that Boomers will be liquidating $70 trillion of assets to pay for their retirement, and this is going to cause a supply/demand imbalance, with way too much supply and not enough demand. Future generations don’t have the liquidity to buy up all these stocks, and certainly not at today’s inflated prices. All these factors together could lead to a massive stock market crash, with average Joe and Jane Stockholder left holding the bag.

Mike goes on to detail importance of diversifying your investments outside of the stock market so you don’t have all your eggs parked in one basket, and how international real estate is a great way to do this. Boomers are already headed south in droves to stretch their dollars further in retirement and you have the chance to strike while the iron is hot.

Asset Protection for a Dangerous World by Joel M. Nagel, Esquire

Asset Protection

In this article, Joel details the importance of viewing asset protection through a wider lens than your financial investments alone.

Rather, he views a holistic asset protection plan to include your financial investments as well as legal, lifestyle and legacy matters.

When he speaks about laws, it really comes down to leveraging existing laws to properly protect yourself and your assets. For lifestyle, he talks about the importance of having a Plan B (and C, D, and E!) via additional residency, citizenship, or investments in other countries.

Finally, Joel discusses the importance of legacy planning, meaning “effectively stewarding wealth from one generation to another in the most effective way.” This involves long-term structures, investments and planning ahead, rather than waiting for a problem to arise.

You will definitely want to read this insightful article for ideas on what your considerations should be for defensively diversifying your life in today’s dangerous world.

Avoid Two-Legged Stools by Rich Checkan

Avoid Two-Legged Stools

In this article, Rich delves into how proper investment diversification can help you keep more of what’s yours.

His strategy is simple: don’t keep all your assets in one currency, one country, or one investment. Most people tend to invest in what is comfortable and easy, but that can lead us into dangerous territory.

Should you have all your assets in your local currency, what should happen if your currency is completely devalued? Should you have all your assets in your home country, what should happen if you go to war, or under the power of a hostile government?

Properly diversifying your investment portfolio will not only help to secure your wealth, but it will also help you sleep at night. Subscribe now to read Rich’s full article with simple tips to help you better protect and balance your investment portfolio.
