🔍 Fred’s Take:
Markets are closed, threats are open, and your wallet’s about to feel both. It’s Independence Day 2025—and while most folks are watching fireworks, you should be watching your six and your stocks. Don’t get burned by inflation, enemy actors, or foolish investments. Stay smart, stay free, stay frosty.

🔍 Fred’s Take:
Once upon a time, the U.S. dollar ruled the world. Now? It's just another piece of paper drowning in debt and devaluation. You can’t print your way to power, folks—and America’s starting to pay the price.
