Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

Fear mongers now claim that the U.S. will soon be replaced by China as the world’s reserve currency, and investors are asking about the validity of such an assertion.
There is certainly a chance that China attains a “reserve” status for its currency, but hurdles remain and markets probably won’t be impacted one way or the other.
Even if China gains this coveted status, the U.S. will not lose its place as the world’s reserve currency anytime in the next several decades.

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

The number of fear mongers exploded after the financial crisis, using various forms of media to dial into the emotions of those who lost money in 2008.
These financial predators make headlines with wild predictions of market crashes, but make most of their money selling newsletters, books, and/or seminars.
A broken clock is right twice a day, but an investment strategy predicated upon the world ending will do nothing positive for an investor’s portfolio or mental health.

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

Record margin debt seems to make the headlines every few months, and fear mongers are quick to point out that this is a predictive indicator of a future equity market crash.
Margin debt can exacerbate a sell off, but there is absolutely no statistical evidence that margin debt levels can predict an equity market decline.
Although the use of margin debt is never recommended in a conservative portfolio, investors are urged to ignore the rampant fear in such a meaningless data point.
