President Trump is launching a new $250 bill with his face on it – the first living president to do so since Abraham Lincoln’s $10 demand note in 1861.

Earlier this year, he instituted another currency change – insisting that his signature appear on all new bank notes.

If you’re starting to sense that Trump has taken an unusual interest in our money, you’re on the right track.

In fact, I’d like to show you that his new $250 bill is a mere distraction from a far bigger and more consequential change to U.S. currency being orchestrated behind the scenes.

Something that will affect every dollar you've ever saved or invested.

Bypassing all conventional legal and political channels, under the guise of national security, Trump is enacting a total money reset using a landmark executive order (14241).

Democrat or Republican, support him or despise him, it doesn't matter – the wheels are already in motion.

And that means every American may soon be forced to use Trump's New Dollar to fill your gas tank, buy groceries, pay the bills.

Which is why I've produced this critical new documentary laying out exactly what this means for your savings, your investments, and your family's financial future…

Detailing three important steps you can take today to prepare – including details on a core band of assets connected to Trump’s initiative that could surge, if this plays out as I predict…

Plus the name and ticker of my #1 move to make today.

As you’ll see in my briefing, the last time America reset its money like this – under Richard Nixon’s presidency in the 1970s – it created one of the greatest wealth divides in the history of our nation.

On one side, it minted an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over half a century. And on the other… the folks left behind, with many drowning in debt, and no idea how to use America’s new money to create wealth.

As Trump rolls out his new dollar, the question is:

Which side will you be on?

Wall Street started the week with a sharp rebound. The Nasdaq gained 1.11%. The S&P 500 rose 0.41%. Amazon surged nearly 5%. And chips finally ended an 8-day losing streak. But the Dow fell. 

The equal-weight S&P 500 lost 0.32%. Only 3 of 11 sectors advanced. And the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%. That is the real story. Investors returned to AI stocks after last week's selloff. But most of the market did not follow. The rally was strong at the top. Underneath, weakness remained.

Monday, October 19

Monday brought relief after a brutal week for technology. The Nasdaq had lost 4.5%. Semiconductors had fallen about 15.7% over 8 sessions. CoreWeave lost roughly 25% during the final 5 sessions of last week.

Investors were questioning the cost of the AI boom. Then buyers returned. Chip stocks bounced. Amazon surged. Tesla rallied. But the concerns behind the selloff did not disappear. Borrowing costs remained high. AI infrastructure still required enormous capital. And most stocks outside technology struggled. This was a rebound. Not yet a broad recovery.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index gained 1.6%. That ended 8 straight losing sessions. The losing streak had wiped out more than $2 trillion in sector market value. Intel gained 2.4%. Other chipmakers also recovered. The rebound showed that investors were willing to buy after steep losses.

But one good session does not erase a 15.7% decline. The bigger question remains. Can companies spending billions on AI infrastructure earn enough to justify those investments? Demand is strong. But demand and profits are not the same thing.

Amazon jumped 4.98% to $262.45. Morgan Stanley named the company a top pick, helping drive fresh buying. Investors focused on Amazon's position in cloud computing, AI and online retail.

That combination matters. Amazon has several established businesses supporting its growth. It is not relying entirely on future AI revenue. That makes its investment case different from companies whose expansion depends heavily on borrowed money. Monday showed that investors still want AI exposure. But they increasingly favor businesses with established revenue and clearer paths to profits.

CoreWeave received an upgrade from Goldman Sachs. Shares initially rallied. But the stock finished approximately 0.4% lower. Its bonds told an equally important story. The yield on CoreWeave debt due in 2031 eased to approximately 15.13%.

That was down from more than 16% last week. But it remains an expensive borrowing rate. AI data centers require billions in upfront investment. When borrowing costs climb into double digits, profitability becomes harder to achieve. Revenue can grow. Demand can surge. But interest expenses still have to be paid. CoreWeave has become a key test of AI financing. The bond market wants proof that the economics work.

The S&P 500 gained 0.41%. But its equal-weight counterpart lost 0.32%. That is a major difference. The traditional S&P gives larger companies more influence. The equal-weight index gives each company similar weight. When one rises and the other falls, it suggests the gains are concentrated in the biggest stocks.

Monday made that clear. Technology gained 1.36%. Consumer discretionary rose 1.78%. But financials fell 0.83%. Utilities dropped 2.01%. Real estate lost 1.16%. Only 3 of 11 sectors finished higher. The headline indexes looked strong. The average stock told a weaker story.

The Dow slipped 0.07% to 51,966.03. That contrasted sharply with the Nasdaq's 1.11% gain. Last week, the Dow gained 0.7% while the Nasdaq lost 4.5%. Investors had been moving away from expensive growth stocks. 

Monday reversed part of that trend. Technology recovered. But financials, industrials and several defensive sectors declined. That matters because a healthy rally usually draws support from multiple industries. Monday's gains were concentrated. The market was not rejecting stocks. It was changing which stocks investors wanted to own.

Treasury yields moved higher. The 10-year reached approximately 5.14%. The 30-year climbed to 5.47%. Higher yields increase borrowing costs across the economy. They also make government bonds more competitive with stocks.

For AI companies, that creates a difficult combination. Data centers require massive investment. Financing remains expensive. And investors are demanding stronger returns. Inflation adds another problem. September consumer prices rose 3.7% from a year earlier. Oil prices remain elevated. That limits the Federal Reserve's flexibility. The higher yields stay, the greater the pressure on companies valued for future earnings.

WTI crude declined to approximately $98.54. That marked a retreat from last week's surge. Oil prices eased as investors assessed possible changes to sanctions affecting Russian supplies. The decline offered some relief.

Lower oil prices can reduce pressure on gasoline, freight and production costs. That matters when inflation is already running above the Fed's target. But crude remains expensive. And the Middle East continues to pose supply risks. A renewed oil surge could quickly revive inflation fears. For now, falling crude helped ease one source of market pressure.

The VIX fell 7.75% to 18.44. That signaled reduced demand for protection against near-term market swings. Investors appeared less fearful after last week's selloff. But lower volatility does not mean the risks are gone.

The Nasdaq remains below its level before last week's decline. Treasury yields are still elevated. And AI financing remains under scrutiny. The market became calmer. It did not become risk-free.

This week's earnings reports now carry greater weight. Investors will watch Tesla, Netflix, Texas Instruments and other major companies. The questions are simple. Are sales growing? Are margins holding up? Can profits justify current valuations?

For AI companies, one question matters most. Will enormous infrastructure spending produce enough cash flow? That is where the market's focus has shifted. Earlier this year, investors rewarded ambitious AI spending. Now they want evidence of returns. Strong earnings could extend the rebound. Weak forecasts could bring selling pressure back.

Monday left investors with a clear set of numbers:

Monday delivered a technology rebound. The Nasdaq jumped. Amazon surged. Chips finally recovered. But most sectors fell. The average stock lost ground.

And borrowing costs remained high. That is the distinction investors cannot ignore. AI demand remains strong. The question is which companies can turn that demand into durable profits. Wall Street is buying AI again. But this time, investors want proof that the profits can justify the price.
