In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine two underappreciated financial risks now coming into sharper focus. The first is the SBA’s decision to send 562,000 pandemic loans to collections totaling $22 billion, raising questions about how much COVID-era lending was truly necessary, how much may have involved abuse or overreach, and whether a broader reckoning could still be ahead. The second is a deeper structural issue inside modern finance: the possibility that during a major market dislocation, Wall Street firms and secured creditors could have meaningful access to retirement-related assets through collateral arrangements, brokerage structures, and custodial rules. Dean and Chris explain why many investors assume their retirement money is sitting safely in isolation, when in reality the system is far more interconnected and contingent than most people realize. Key topics include:pandemic loan collections and fraud concernswhy the government may only be scratching the surfacehow “emergency money” can create long-tail consequenceswhy brokerage-held assets may carry hidden counterparty riskhow retirement funds can become vulnerable during a systemic eventwhy gold and silver remain important as unencumbered diversifiersBrought to you by Swiss America.Get your free Secret War on Cash Report today.Call or text: 1-800-289-2646Visit: SwissAmerica.com Subscribe to The Secret War on Cash for ongoing insight into gold, silver, inflation, central banks, the dollar, and the changing financial landscape.

In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine a new round of major gold forecasts, including Nomi Prins’ projection that gold could reach $6,000 before year-end and $7,000 to $9,000 in the coming years. The discussion focuses on why these calls are getting harder to dismiss, especially as central banks continue accumulating physical gold, geopolitical instability remains high, and inflationary pressure continues to shape the global financial landscape.The conversation then turns to the idea of major monetary resets, using inflation-adjusted historical comparisons to show how quickly gold can reprice when the financial system is forced into a new equilibrium. Dean and Chris argue that these events do not unfold in a slow, comfortable way. When they happen, they tend to happen fast, which is why preparation matters before the shift, not after it.Key topics include:Nomi Prins’ gold forecastcentral bank buying and physical demandwhy the gold story keeps strengtheninghistorical reset scenarios and inflation-adjusted price comparisonshow major revaluations can happen abruptlywhy hard assets remain central in an unstable systemBrought to you by Swiss America.Get your free Secret War on Cash Report today.Call or text: 1-800-289-2646Visit: SwissAmerica.comSubscribe to The Secret War on Cash for ongoing insight into gold, silver, inflation, central banks, the dollar, and the changing financial landscape.
