Worst Dollar Plunge Since 1973 — Guess Who Already Left?
In just six months, the U.S. dollar fell 10.8% — its worst start to a year since 1973.
Back then, the collapse came after Nixon decoupled from gold.
This time? There’s no anchor to cut — just confidence to lose.
The 1%? They weren’t surprised — they were early.
Where?
Into farmland, not mutual funds
Into gold and energy, not Treasury bonds
Into countries with capital controls in their favor
Into assets the Fed can’t print into dust
Their plan isn’t to weather the collapse.
It’s to be somewhere else when it hits.
Because when the floor falls out, it's too late to shop for boots.
