| | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move.  |

CNN ran President Trump's financial disclosures against his Truth Social feed and found at least 44 purchases across 21 companies bought within a week of him publicly praising those firms, their products, or their CEOs.
Since those purchases, Intel is up 307 percent, Dell 271 percent, AMD 201 percent, Micron 134 percent, GE Aerospace 96 percent, and Nvidia 91 percent.
Porter Stansberry argues these companies share a common thread tied to a shifting economic doctrine investors need to understand now.  |
