Each time I turn on the news, read a headline or open my internet browser, I grow more worried.

Why? Because income opportunities for investors are vanishing.

Even “safer” investments like Treasurys are no longer viable means of keeping your wealth protected.

What’s happening to average investors nowadays is deeply unsettling. But more unsettling is that no one in power seems concerned at all!

In fact, the government is actively responsible for our current situation in three ways ...

First, the government snuffed out anything approaching a decent yield.  

For money markets, you now get just a tiny fraction of a percent. 

If you lock up your money for 10 years in a Treasury note, they “reward” you with a meager 1% or so. 

Even high-risk junk bonds barely yield 4%. 

Second, the government fed the fires of inflation, driving consumer prices up by 5.2%.  

That alone puts all of the above yields deep into the red.  

Third, the government is preparing to roll out income tax hikes.  

What’s worse, the taxes are payable on virtually any kind of income ... including on yields that are wiped out by inflation.  

So, if you’re like me, you’re worried. 

Yet, most investors are still going about life, business and investing as if nothing has changed. 

They’re listening to the talking points, that this is all a short-term hiccup. But I think they’re burying their heads in the sand. 

The truth is, too few Americans realize $11 TRILLION has been pumped into the financial system over the last 18 months.  

And even fewer people realize the impact it’s already having on the economy, your wealth and your retirement.  

They think the inflation we’re seeing is transitory.  

Worst of all, they fail to grasp just how bad inflation is going to get … or just how devastating it could be to your future.   

So, what should you do? 

My colleague, analyst Jon Markman, recommends investors look for companies that are leading what he calls the “digital transformation.”

This shift from analog to digital — who can do it the fastest, cheapest and most creatively — will determine the next industry leaders. Companies that don’t adapt ... will get left in the dust, along with their shareholders.

He’s not just highlighting FAANG stocks but firms from all sectors that have utilized new technology to streamline their operations from top to bottom.

For more about the digital transformation — which Jon considers the fourth industrial revolution — and which companies he thinks are leading this movement, I highly recommend you read Jon Markman’s Pivotal Point.

Good luck and God Bless,
