What Is the 'Mar-a-Lago Accord'?

A strange new financial chapter may be unfolding in America...
Investors have whispered about the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" in elite circles for months ... yet most everyday folks have never heard of it.
It refers to a to a deliberate plan to dramatically weaken the U.S. dollar's value over the next few years.
This controversial strategy, as outlined by a major economic adviser to President Donald Trump, could hit unprepared savers hard...
In fact, if history is any guide, it could potentially slash the purchasing power of your savings by up to 40%.
But for those folks who are "in the know," the upheaval will also create extraordinary opportunities to profit.
Former Wall Street trader and 40-year market veteran Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig is breaking his silence to warn that a very strange day is coming to America, thanks to this monetary reset. (Watch his full documentary on the Mar-a-Lago Accord by clicking here.)
Doc has successfully navigated multiple economic downturns... including 1987's Black Monday crash, the global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2022 bear market... and now he believes we're on the cusp of a "controlled demolition of the monetary order."
Understanding what the Mar-a-Lago Accord is and how it works can help you not only protect your wealth, but even potentially grow it dramatically in the years ahead...

The Three Most Important Ideas Behind the Mar-a-Lago Accord
There are three big ideas behind the potential for the Mar-a-Lago Accord...
First, the U.S. dollar is being deliberately devalued.
Officials in the Trump administration's economic team have a plan to reset the global currency system by weakening the U.S. dollar. The intent is to boost U.S. exports and domestic manufacturing competitiveness, a key part of the "America First" agenda.
In practical terms, this could mean the U.S. dollar's value drops 20% to 40% over the coming years, similar to what happened after the 1985 Plaza Accord.
Expect that imported goods will get more expensive for everyday Americans... But certain assets tend to rise when the dollar falls. It's those assets that Dr. Eifrig is urging Americans to focus on in the coming years.
Case in point, gold is poised for a historic revaluation.
Many experts, including government insiders close to the plan, believe that the U.S. Treasury could officially revalue its gold reserves to a far higher price.
Right now, gold is carried on the government's books at roughly $42 an ounce, a holdover from the 1970s after President Richard Nixon ended the dollar's convertibility to gold. But with gold trading above $3,600 – or more than 85 times the government's "official" price – there's speculation that a new fixed price could be declared.
That move would instantly bolster the Treasury's balance sheet... and likely send gold-related and other hard-asset investments skyrocketing.
Finally, an "America First" industrial revival is underway.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord isn't just about the dollar and gold. It's part of a broader strategy to rebuild American manufacturing... from industrial supply chains to factories, technology, and infrastructure.
And the one genuine requirement for this industrial resurgence is energy.
Whether you want to build semiconductor-chip plants, auto-manufacturing facilities, or artificial-intelligence ("AI") data centers... they all need energy.
Power consumption is already climbing sharply across the nation. And unprecedented investment in U.S. energy – especially nuclear energy – is coming.
Before we get into each of these three themes, let's take a look at the big picture behind why this is happening now...
A 'Controlled Demolition' of the Monetary Order
A secret meeting of power brokers behind closed doors deciding the fate of the world's reserve currency... It sounds like the plot of a movie.
But in 1985, that's exactly what happened at New York's Plaza Hotel. The resulting Plaza Accord saw the U.S. join with allies in a coordinated agreement to actively push down the dollar's value, which had been wreaking havoc on trade.
Now, 40 years later, many analysts believe history is repeating...
This time, the term "Mar-a-Lago Accord" has emerged as a nickname for what could be a new Plaza Accord-style plan to remake the global financial system. It's not yet a formal, signed deal... Rather, it refers to a series of signals and policy moves from the Trump camp indicating a grand strategy to devalue the dollar.
Stephen Miran coined the phrase in his wonkish 2024 paper titled, "A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System." Miran was just appointed to the Federal Reserve board and formerly served as Trump's top economic adviser.
In Miran's view, the current system of the dollar as the dominant reserve currency has ironically hurt the U.S. Because of the global demand for dollars, our currency valuation has been held artificially high... and as a result, our trade deficits have piled up.
In addition, Trump's new Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is a currency-market veteran who has openly hinted that a "grand global economic reordering" is necessary, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Bessent earned his fame (and fortune) working for billionaire George Soros... even helping to orchestrate Soros' legendary bet against the British pound in 1992.
In other words, these are people who know how to strategically move currencies. And they're now in the driver's seat of U.S. economic policy.
Trump himself has repeatedly signaled displeasure with a strong dollar, both during his first term and in his campaign rhetoric for 2024. So if these efforts to knock down the dollar work... the result would be resetting global trade with a cheaper dollar that makes U.S. exports like vehicles, technology, tractors, and soybeans more affordable to the rest of the world. That would boost domestic industries... and also reduce the real burden of America's $37 trillion national debt since we'd be paying back creditors in "cheaper" dollars.
This is a radical plan with massive and far-reaching implications. But there are also important precedents...
- The Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944 established the dollar as the reserve currency, albeit still pegged to gold.
- The Nixon shock in 1971 ended that gold peg, effectively devaluing the dollar and launching a new era of floating exchange rates.
- Then the Plaza Accord of 1985 knocked the dollar down as much as 40% compared with other currencies.
Each time, these were closed-door deals made by the nation's elites... followed by major financial consequences for Americans from all walks of life. The Mar-a-Lago Accord may be the next major inflection point.
And the dollar is already weakening. As we wrote over the summer...
Halfway through 2025, the U.S. dollar is looking downright sickly...
The once-mighty greenback has slumped so much this year that it will likely post its worst first-half performance since 1986. For context, that was right after the Plaza Accord – when the dollar was deliberately pushed off a cliff by global policymakers.
This fall has coincided with a flurry of actions from the Trump administration... from aggressive tariffs to jawboning the Federal Reserve for rate cuts. And not coincidentally, we've also seen a surge in gold prices to all-time highs.
Doc calls it a "controlled demolition of the monetary order." And he warns it will affect everything you own...
Think about it...
What's in your savings account? Your money market fund? What is your mortgage valued in? How do you express the value of your stocks and bonds? Unless you're one of those rare Americans who has money parked overseas, every single thing you own is in dollars.
That's what makes this intentional devaluation so dangerous. And this isn't speculation, by the way. It's already happening: The dollar has suffered its worst six months in more than half a century. The "Mar-a-Lago Accord" is the driving force behind this alarming drop.
And this is just the beginning.
Again, this plan is all written down in black and white... as you're about to see.
Doc warns that Americans who don't prepare could watch their retirement savings lose 40% in real value. But those who prepare could not only preserve their wealth... but potentially see significant gains over the long term. (You can watch Doc's full Mar-a-Lago Accord documentary here.)
The Mar-a-Lago Accord is a high-stakes gambit...
- If it succeeds, it could reinvigorate American industry and lessen our reliance on the rest of the world.
- If it's mismanaged, it carries significant risks... including higher inflation, spiking interest rates, and a loss of confidence in U.S. assets.
Let's take a look at the three big ideas behind the Mar-a-Lago Accord...
Idea No. 1: The Dollar Reset
This spring, my colleague Sean Michael Cummings encapsulated the core idea of the potential for a Mar-a-Lago Accord with one line...
Currencies are only as good as people's confidence in them... And right now, some of America's biggest policymakers have knives out for the dollar.
The dollar has plunged 10% so far this year... as anti-dollar chatter from the White House has grown louder.
Trump has publicly pressured the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, which typically weakens a currency. And as we just mentioned, he even recently appointed Mar-a-Lago Accord architect Miran to the Fed board.
This has all sent a clear signal to the market... The U.S. government wants looser monetary policy and a softer dollar. And it will make drastic, unprecedented moves to get them.
So it's worth taking a look at the mechanisms behind "resetting" a currency...
The first tool is typically monetary policy. If the Federal Reserve cuts rates or prints money, the dollar tends to fall.
We've seen hints of that... Fed officials have started shifting from fighting inflation to worrying about growth. And with the recent rate cut, it's clear that Miran's appointment to the Fed is another step in ensuring the central bank is on board with pro-easing policies.
Lower interest rates mean less global demand to park money in U.S.-dollar-denominated assets, which weakens the dollar overall.
The second tool is direct intervention. The U.S. government can sell dollars in the open market and buy other currencies to drive its value down.
Both the Treasury and the Federal Reserve are legally allowed to intervene in foreign-currency exchange markets. And in practice, they typically do so jointly.
Direct intervention used to be more common. But since the mid-1990s, the U.S. has only done so three times – in 1998, 2000, and 2011.
The third method is to reset the terms of global trade so other nations voluntarily drop the dollar standard.
For example, if tariffs make it painful to hold a strong dollar, countries may begin letting their currencies rise... or they may settle trade in alternate currencies.
Since World War II, the world has used the U.S. dollar as the default "reserve currency." That means the greenback is the currency of choice to settle most cross-border trade... from barrels of oil to shipping containers of Labubu toy monsters.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord concept might include bilateral deals, currency swaps, or even digital currencies... all in an attempt to nudge global trade away from the U.S. dollar.
So what does this mean for everyday Americans?
In his public warning, Doc shows that your dollars could lose up to 40% of their value in the years ahead. That's roughly how much the dollar fell after the 1985 Plaza Accord.
In addition, after Nixon abandoned the gold standard in 1971, the dollar lost more than 30% of its value compared with gold and other currencies in the following years.
In both cases, Americans saw inflation as imports and commodities got more expensive in dollar terms. That's especially dangerous for anyone who is retired or on a fixed income... as you suddenly notice that your dollars don't go as far.
And stock investors aren't immune, either. A dollar decline can help boost the stock market initially... but as currency volatility picks up, so does broader market turmoil. As Doc noted in his documentary, you might have seen some of the warnings about the Mar-a-Lago Accord in mainstream headlines:
Forbes calls it a plan to remake the financial system... that could "turn global financial markets upside down."
The Financial Times says, "the unimaginable is becoming imaginable"... and that it could "upend the global monetary system."
And the Wall Street Journal calls it a "New World Order."
Whatever happens in the short term with the Mar-a-Lago Accord, it's clear that a monetary reset will create volatility.
And one major difference between a currency reset and a normal financial crisis is that cash is not king.
That is, it might feel safe to hold dollars in the bank... But if those dollars decline by 10% – as they have so far in 2025 – your nest egg is "safely" getting 10% smaller.
That's why Doc recommends holding real assets...
Idea No. 2: The Comeback of Real Money
When a currency is intentionally devalued, where should investors go for safety?
Historically, the answer has been real assets, especially gold...
Gold might seem like an ancient relic to some, but it quickly becomes relevant in times of monetary stress.
Under Bretton Woods, gold was the anchor of the global monetary system. When Nixon broke the gold peg in 1971, gold's price was set free... and it soared from $35 to $800 within the next decade.
Gold then stagnated for years, until after the 1985 Plaza Accord and dollar devaluation... when it again rallied. It climbed roughly 50% over the next two years.
Fast forward to the 2000s. Massive money-supply growth and a declining dollar again saw gold jump... from around $250 in 2001 to nearly $2,000 in the wreckage of the global financial crisis.
And once again in the past few years, gold has again been rallying... recently hitting new all-time highs of more than $3,600.
If you're keeping track... that's a more than 10,000% increase in the price of gold during the past 50 years. And the bulk of the moves higher have happened shortly after monetary resets like what could come from the Mar-a-Lago Accord.
It's no wonder that Ray Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, Larry Fink, and many other billionaire investors have been buying gold. And gold was even the largest personal position of Bessent, as he noted in an interview before taking office as treasury secretary:
I think we're in a long-term bull market in gold... It's my biggest position.
In addition, central banks across the world have been accumulating gold at record rates in recent years, possibly in anticipation of currency volatility.
And perhaps one of the most fascinating and controversial aspects of the Mar-a-Lago Accord is the possibility that the U.S. government could revalue its gold holdings to help fix its financial books.
Today, the U.S. Treasury officially values its hoard of 261.5 million ounces of gold at just $42.22 per ounce. This "book value" hasn't changed since the early 1970s, even though the market price is roughly 85 times higher.
So if gold were revalued up closer to its market price... it would add nearly $1 trillion in liquidity to America's balance sheet. And it would also serve in the broader goal of weakening the U.S. dollar.
In his documentary, Doc gets into the details behind a gold revaluation... and even looks at two currency experts' predictions behind how the price of gold could climb to more than $20,000 per ounce. As he admits...
I'm far from a gold bug myself. First and foremost, I'm a stocks guy.
However, gold now sits at the center of our financial futures and security – whether we like it or not.
Owning real assets like gold offers protection if the worst outcomes happen... and immense upside if the Mar-a-Lago currency reset sends gold much higher.
And of course, gold isn't the only real asset seeing huge demand today...
Idea No. 3: America's Industrial Renaissance
The Mar-a-Lago Accord isn't just about weakening the dollar and boosting gold... It's a plan to restore American economic dominance.
Trump has long railed about the decline of U.S. manufacturing and our country's reliance on foreign supply chains. Today, Doc notes that...
Trump's administration has already secured more than $5 trillion in new U.S. investments, including:
- $100 billion from [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing] to construct chip plants.
- $500 billion from OpenAI, investment firm SoftBank, and software giant Oracle to build out the AI infrastructure across the U.S.
- More than $500 billion from Apple, including developing data centers and opening a new manufacturing facility in Texas.
- And much more...
But in order to make America a powerhouse of production, you need power.
As new chip plants, AI supercomputers, electric vehicle factories and more are getting built, electricity demand is skyrocketing. As we wrote a few months ago:
Electricity demand in the United States is rising for the first time in two decades. PJM, the electricity grid that covers the mid‑Atlantic, expects peak demand to grow 3% to 4% a year through 2035, double last year's forecast.
And while 3% to 4% growth sounds small, PJM announced prices at its last capacity auction that were up more than 800% from the previous year, thanks to rising demand and shrinking supply.
And the most popular power option with the Trump administration is nuclear. This spring, Trump signed several executive orders related to nuclear power... with the goal of quadrupling the nation's nuclear power generation.
That's an ambitious target. And it will require an enormous amount of uranium to fuel the reactors.
The problem is that the uranium market has been severely undersupplied since 2018. Current production only meets about 80% of global demand... and roughly 25% of the enriched uranium we use in domestic nuclear plants comes from Russia.
So the clock is ticking for the U.S. to replace nearly a quarter of its fuel supply, even for existing reactors.
Looking ahead, Doc expects a massive uranium supply crunch in the months ahead. And the potential upside of this kind of market move can be startling.
As Doc details in his documentary, "this critical supply-demand mismatch creates a perfect storm for astronomical gains if you act now." He gives a few examples from the last time uranium prices skyrocketed between 2000 and 2007...
Here's the most important thing you need to understand... as uranium soared, the right uranium stocks went up EVEN HIGHER.
Industry leader Cameco shot up from around $2 to more than $50 – a 2,500% gain!
And look at Paladin Energy, a smaller, more speculative uranium stock. It catapulted from one penny to $10. One thousand times your money in just a few years.
Even though the uranium market is relatively small, it has attracted big attention in recent years as countries restart old nuclear plants and build new ones.
Keep in mind, uranium is notoriously volatile. Price spikes often cause demand destruction or government intervention... like releasing strategic reserves or even shutting down reactors for maintenance to save fuel.
But with global sentiment warming to nuclear, we might see more willingness to pay higher prices for fuel.
And finally, the U.S. industrial comeback can only be powered by a nuclear energy boom.
The key aspects of the Mar-a-Lago Accord... a weakening dollar, the revaluation of hard assets, and an American industrial renaissance... will send shock waves through the stock market.
Just reading this page and watching Doc's Mar-a-Lago documentary will give you an advantage over most Americans in terms of expecting what comes next.
So now, let's take a step back and look at the financial publishing firm and analyst bringing you this prediction...
About Stansberry Research
Stansberry Research is one of the largest independent publishers of investment research and financial education.
Founded in 1999, the firm made its name by giving individual investors access to the kind of in-depth research and contrarian ideas often reserved for Wall Street insiders. Today, its subscribers come from all around the globe. And its publications are read by hundreds of thousands of investors.
However, Stansberry Research is not a brokerage or fund manager... It doesn't manage or invest your money. Instead, it provides specific advice to its paid-up subscribers.
That's important because Stansberry's analysts only succeed if they recommend opportunities and make economic calls that subscribers find valuable. As a result, its research often takes an independent, contrarian view of the market.
Of course, not every pick is a home run. And it's important to note that Stansberry Research analysts regularly acknowledge their mistakes – including in an annual "Report Card" where its publisher grades each publication, no holds barred.
Its wide range of publications cover investment strategies like value investing, commodities, biotechnology, income, macroeconomic perspectives, and more.
In short, Stansberry Research is kind of like having a team of seasoned analysts in your corner, doing deep dives and bringing you opportunities you likely won't hear about from your brokerage or CNBC until much later... if ever.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord coverage is a perfect example. Stansberry analysts sifted through obscure policy papers and global financial news to piece together this narrative before it's obvious. They then not only explained it in plain language... but also provided actionable investment guidance to deal with it.
Now, let's introduce the man who has been central to articulating this Mar-a-Lago Accord story: Dr. David Eifrig, or "Doc" as he's fondly known by his readers.
Who Is Dr. David Eifrig?
Dr. David Eifrig, MD, MBA is a rather extraordinary individual with a one-of-a-kind career path...
He's currently editor of several Stansberry Research publications, as well as the CEO of Stansberry's parent company, MarketWise (MKTW). But what really sets Doc apart is the breadth of his expertise...
After receiving his Bachelor of Arts from Carleton College in Minnesota, he went on to earn an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, graduating on the Dean's List with a double major in finance and international business.
From there, Doc went on to work as an elite derivatives trader at the investment bank Goldman Sachs. He spent a decade on Wall Street with several major institutions, including Chase Manhattan and Yamaichi (then known as the "Goldman Sachs of Japan").
That's when Dr. Eifrig's career took an unconventional turn. Sick of the greed and hypocrisy of Wall Street... he quit his senior vice president position to become a doctor.
He graduated from Columbia University's postbaccalaureate pre-medicine program and eventually earned his MD with clinical honors from the University of North Carolina ("UNC") at Chapel Hill. While at medical school school, he was elected president of his class and admitted to the Order of the Golden Fleece (considered the highest honor given at UNC Chapel Hill).
Doc also completed a research fellowship in molecular genetics at Duke University and became a board-eligible eye surgeon. Along the way, he has been published in scientific journals and helped start a small biotech company, Mirus, that was sold to Roche for $125 million in 2008.
However, frustrated by Big Medicine's many conflicts, Doc began to look for ways he could talk directly with individuals and use his background to show them how to take control of their health and wealth.
So in 2008, during the depths of the global financial crisis, he joined Stansberry Research.
His flagship newsletter, Retirement Millionaire, has been responsible for some of the biggest gains across Stansberry Research history, including 1,172% gains on Microsoft (MSFT)... 800% gains on Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B)... and many more.
In fact, right now, the average open position in his Retirement Millionaire model portfolio is up 126%... Imagine having the opportunity to more than double your money in every single open position, on average.
Obviously, all investments carry risk. And past performance does not guarantee future success. You should never invest more than you can afford to lose.
But Doc's track record speaks for itself. And more important, he's the kind of guy who can talk about the benefits of red wine for your heart – he produces his own wine, Eifrig Cellars in Sonoma, California – and in the next paragraph, explain a complex options trade in easy-to-understand language.
Doc is a trusted voice for the market. He wants to improve his readers' lives, not just their financial returns.
And in the context of the Mar-a-Lago Accord, Doc's background is particularly fitting...
He experienced the last dollar reset firsthand on Wall Street in the 1980s. He traded through Black Monday in 1987. He's not one to panic. So I listen closely when he warns investors about something like this. As he puts it...
I've lived and traded profitably through the worst of the worst – and just about every shock the stock market could throw at a person.
And I'll tell you now:
If history is any precedent, the Mar-a-Lago Accord would devastate millions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Now, let's answer a few questions that readers have had about the Mar-a-Lago Accord...
Question 1: What exactly is the "Mar-a-Lago Accord"?
Answer: The "Mar-a-Lago Accord" is a nickname, not an official treaty... at least, not yet.
The term comes from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate... humorously suggesting that any new dollar agreement might be hashed out there, much as 1985's Plaza Accord was named after New York's Plaza Hotel.
It refers to a plan associated with Trump's economic team, especially Stephen Miran, to dramatically weaken the U.S. dollar's value relative to other currencies.
In essence, it's a monetary-reset strategy aiming to reduce the dollar's exchange rate by as much as 40% over the next few years. Unlike past accords, this one is unfolding via hints... including policy signals, tariffs, and personnel moves rather than a single signed document.
The goal of the accord is to devalue the dollar and rebalance global trade.
Question 2: Why would the U.S. government intentionally devalue the dollar?
Answer: A weaker dollar makes U.S. exports cheaper and imports more expensive. That in turn can revive domestic manufacturing and increase American jobs... a core Trump campaign promise.
It also effectively reduces the real burden of America's massive debts, since the U.S. would pay back its creditors in "cheaper" dollars compared with other currencies.
The goal is to move toward an "America First" economy... That means more factories at home and a lighter debt load, at the cost of the dollar's purchasing power.
Question 3: Who are the key people behind the Mar-a-Lago Accord?
Answer: There are three key men you need to know who are behind the Accord...
The first is President Donald Trump. Nothing can happen at the scale of a full monetary reset without his explicit endorsement. He has long favored a weaker dollar and has a history of unconventional economic moves.
Next, Stephen Miran coined the term "Mar-a-Lago Accord" in his policy paper titled, "A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System." Trump appointed Miran as his chief economic adviser, and then to the Federal Reserve's board of Governors.
Finally, Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is a veteran hedge-fund manager with an extensive background in currency trading. He famously has stated that the U.S. needs to have some kind of "grand global economic reordering."
Question 4: How would devaluing the dollar affect my everyday life?
Answer: Initially, you might not notice... The dollar balance in your bank account will stay the same number.
But gradually, you'll start to see imported goods and materials become pricier. Inflation will hit electronics, clothes, and cars. And travel abroad will become more expensive... Your dollars will "buy" fewer euros, yen, and pounds.
Already, the dollar has declined 10% in 2025. Expect that purchasing-power drop to continue as the hints around the Mar-a-Lago Accord start to show up in mainstream headlines.
Question 5: What about my stocks and 401(k)? Will the stock market crash?
Answer: History suggests a mixed impact on the stock market...
A weaker dollar can boost U.S. multinational companies' earnings when they convert foreign profits back to fewer dollars. Right now, companies in the S&P 500 Index derive about 40% of their revenue overseas.
In addition, inflation generally pushes stock prices up in nominal terms because corporate assets and revenues are valued higher.
However, the risk is that currency volatility bleeds into the market... especially if it causes economic instability in other countries around the world.
Question 6: What does it mean that gold could be revalued? Will the government confiscate my gold?
Answer: Revaluation means the U.S. Treasury would raise the official price of gold on its books from its current $42.22-per-ounce price to something much higher. This would increase the nominal value of the government's gold reserves, giving the Treasury a larger balance sheet and more liquidity.
The U.S. has revalued its gold holdings four times in history... and yes, in 1933 the revaluation did come alongside confiscation.
However, forced confiscation is considered unlikely today... not least because of how politically toxic the idea is.
Question 7: What about silver?
Answer: That's a great question. You might know that when gold goes on a tear... silver typically catches up and then skyrockets even higher.
In fact, silver has outperformed gold in every bull market but one.
And today, silver just broke through its highest price in 14 years... It's up 30% year to date... and if history is any indication, its move is only getting started.
So yes, silver is absolutely a factor in the Mar-a-Lago Accord. And Doc has laid out all the details in his new report, "How to Play Silver's Mar-a-Lago Mania." You can learn how to get the report delivered to your inbox... along with the full analysis of his favorite silver plan, the name and ticker of the stock, and another insider trick to buy physical silver without taking on risky leverage in his documentary.
Question 8: Why mention uranium in the strategy? How is that related to a currency move?
Answer: Uranium is the other side of the Mar-a-Lago Accord, the push for more U.S. industrial and energy independence.
Nuclear energy is central to powering new domestic industries... and it's favored by Trump's energy policies. And uranium fuel is the choke point for nuclear. With global supply short and Russia being cut off, the price of uranium is set to skyrocket.
Hedge funds and governments are already stockpiling uranium, and historically uranium booms have yielded astronomical gains.
Question 9: Could the Mar-a-Lago Accord fail or be reversed?
Answer: There are plenty of risks and unknowns associated with the Mar-a-Lago Accord. For one, it's not yet a formal agreement... It's a plan in motion.
It could hit snags – like if inflation explodes and public outcry forces the Fed to raise rates instead of cutting them. Or trade partners could impose their own currency controls.
A recession could also derail things... If global growth falls, investors typically seek safety in U.S. Treasury securities, which could stall the dollar decline.
Alternatively, the Treasury and Federal Reserve could go too far – aiming for a 25% devaluation and accidently overshoot, which could cause a chaotic reversal like an emergency rate hike or currency intervention to defend the dollar to avoid a debt crisis.
So far, the intent is clear – Trump and his closest economic advisers want the dollar to decline. So unless evidence shows that they've abandoned that goal, positioning for a Mar-a-Lago Accord makes sense.
Key Terms Defined
Bretton Woods Agreement: The 1944 conference outcome that established the post-WWII international monetary system.
Bretton Woods pegged major currencies to the U.S. dollar, and it pegged the dollar to gold at $35 per ounce. It ended in 1971 when Nixon closed the gold window and the dollar became free-floating.
Devaluation: A reduction in the value of a currency relative to others. It can be an official, government-driven policy move... or a market-driven move.
Devaluation makes exports from a country cheaper and imports more expensive. The Mar-a-Lago Accord aims for a controlled devaluation of between 20% and 40% for the U.S. dollar.
Gold Revaluation: Adjusting the official price of gold to reflect currency valuations. For example, the U.S. revalued gold in 1934 from $20.67 to $35 per ounce... effectively devaluing the dollar by 40%.
Today, repricing gold from $42.22 to somewhere closer to its market price would add liquidity to the Treasury balance sheet and monetize existing government assets.
Inflation: The rate at which general price levels rise, meaning a dollar buys less than before. If the dollar is intentionally devalued, inflation is a likely result – particularly in imported goods and commodities priced in dollars.
Inflation is both a goal of the Mar-a-Lago Accord to reduce the real value of American debt... and a risk, if inflation accelerates too much and raises prices too high.
Monetary Reset: A deliberate change in the value or structure of a currency system. In this context, it means lowering the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies and possibly assets like gold.
It's akin to rebooting the financial system's baseline. The Mar-a-Lago Accord is essentially a monetary reset plan for the dollar.
Plaza Accord: A 1985 agreement among the U.S., Japan, West Germany, France, and the U.K. to weaken the U.S. dollar to address trade imbalances. It was named after New York's Plaza Hotel.
In the two years after the Plaza Accord, the dollar fell as much as 40% compared with other major currencies. It's a historical analog to what's being attempted now.
Reserve Currency: A currency held in large quantities by governments and institutions as part of foreign exchange reserves. It's used for international trade and financial transactions.
The U.S. dollar is the world's primary reserve currency, making up about 60% of global reserves. This status creates constant demand for dollars, which tends to keep it overvalued compared with other currencies.
Tariff: A tax on imports. Tariffs raise the cost of foreign goods, protecting domestic industries and pressuring trade partners.
In the Mar-a-Lago plan, tariffs are the "stick" to bring other countries to the table for a new accord. Tariffs also directly contribute to a weaker dollar by reducing import volumes as fewer dollars go out to buy foreign goods.
What Investors Should Do Today
The Mar-a-Lago Accord scenario may sound far-fetched...
And practically no one on Main Street is aware of the blindsiding event that's rushing toward them.
But today, we stand at a major turning point where yesterday's "rules" like a strong dollar and low inflation may give way to a new paradigm.
However, if you understand what's happening, this reset can become a chance for you to make extraordinary potential gains instead... and make these coming years the best of your financial life to date.
The last time we saw a monetary reset like this was back in 1985. Then, those who stood still lost up to 40% of their nest eggs.
But folks who were aware of the straightforward money move Doc explains could have doubled their wealth, or more.
And this time around, Doc believes your potential upside could even be as much as 1,000%... provided you take the steps he shares for free in his documentary. Watch it here.
