Trump is replacing the U.S. dollar (Ad)

Porter Stansberry says a dollar reset is underway - one that has happened only once before in America's 250-year history, back in 1974 with a secret Saudi deal that reshaped an entire generation's wealth. Today, a landmark treaty called Pax Silica - signed by 13 nations in December 2025 and barely covered in the press - is at the center of what Fortune calls 'the biggest change to the world's relationship with the dollar' in a generation. The stocks to buy, the assets to avoid, and the moves to consider are outlined in Stansberry's new briefing.tc pixel
