I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity...
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $500k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold uo in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen People making up to $500k in a month during high inflation
One strategy is to invest in assets that performs well during inflation. Another strategy is to focus on companies that have the ability to pass on price increases to their customers. Its also important to maintain a diversified portfolio. It may be a good idea to speak with a financial adviser who can help you develop a customized investment strategy based on your individual goals and risk tolerance
I used to manage my stock portfolio by myself, all that time I did not make any significant returns (but also did not suffer losses). Then out of nowhere 2008 happened, and I lost 50% of my savings in a very short period. That prompted me to hire a F.A. Since then I have been learning a lot about the stock market and I have made up to $1M in returns
”Helene Claire Johnson” is the lady's name. I first saw her on a CNBC report, then on Smart Advisors, and immediately looked her up on the internet; it was the best decision I've made to stay afloat in these crazy times. She has been outstanding.
Alasdair is my favorite guest on the show. Please get him back sooner! He is totally unbiased with geopolitics and really know his stuff about global finance.
He is really knowledgeable but he keeps saying things will crash. The us will not sit back and let the brics nations over take it. These things take a long time. I do like listening to his interviews. He’s right but timelines are the key!
He's love for Russia and the complete bias opinion is scary. Don't have him on again. He didn't even mentioned that the ruble nowadays are rubble. The sanctions have worked very well. But Alastairs says opposite. How is it possible. Because he gets money from Kremlin
👍A few weeks before SVB collapsed, in a RUclips interview ('Liberty and Finance') Alasdair called out a US regional banking crisis to happen in the next month. Champion.👍
Stocks will continue to perform well as long as currency is pumped into market. I believe it's being propped up purposefully. Similar to holding someone's place in line until they return.
It's good to be cautious, educated, always aware of how you could fail in any given position, but if you listen to what this man is saying, you'll miss a huge amount of opportunities sitting on your hands and waiting for every bad thing to happen.
He’s a gold bug, what are you talking about? It could go a number of directions other than gold shooting higher. They could introduce CBDCs and reset the game and gold will still stall
Adams always asks clear and relevant questions, even if they are hard for the interviewee to answer. Interesting to see how different people view the situation differently.
76,600 mortgage arrears in Q1 and 1160 home reposessions in Q1..Government announces emergency measures to let homeowners switch mortgages to interest only for 6 months and allow a 12 month grace period before any more reposessions..Dark times ahead 🙏🌏
Adam many thanks for having Alisdair back again. He is spot on about his analysis on Russia-Ukraine and BRICS/SCO etc. India and Turkey will play games with both Camps but Russia-China are probably well aware of that. I do worry about our Children and their future in terms of Investment strategy and their physical safety
Lucid analysis with great insights on home mortgages in UK and USA. Thank you - I feel this is coming - the foreigners will trigger the dollar fall. Makes complete sense -- sadly. It will be painful to walk through.
The financial market needs a benchmark to measure wealth against. Gold is the best solution to fill that need and has been accepted by society for thousands of years. It is impossible to build a house using an elastic ruler.
@dapred00 Gold is a failure due to its slow technological progression centralizing tendency, high holding costs, and constant debasement by gold miners. Also, never forget May 1, 1933-President Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102 required U.S. citizens to deliver on or before May 1, 1933, all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve, in exchange for $20.67 per troy ounce.
I started stacking to SAVE wealth. I've always been the type of person to spend my entire paycheck. I hate having money just sit in the bank. I am under pressure to grow my reserve of $950k. before I turn 60, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.
Alastair’s global monetary understanding is extraordinary and gives a layman like me a great insight of how financial markets are intertwined. His comments on a “new” global currency was surprising as were his words regarding comments on Russia taking Kiev. This on today’s announcement that the Ukraine will now receive cluster bombs from the US is quite concerning.
The bit about Brits and progress at the end had me in stitches. Gotta love the British humor. Great guest, why don't you ask him about bitcoin as a complement to gold? It's all about hedges right?
The same with huge silent majority of British supporters for Trump. You just happened on mainstream channels only. This folks like Alasdair would avoid BBC etc because they know the targetted audience is the Globalists.
Another great interview. Been looking around for a interview about FedNow, being mentioned in these default, currencies failing type themes. Since the FedNow launch this month or the mbridge news from Bank of international settlements 2 months ago. Its crickets, Gold to fiat to digital makes sense to me. They reset the system to gold then adjusted and reset system to fiat and with FedNow running they are resetting to digital. Cleveland fed has videos about FedNow on RUclips. I am looking for info on how the FedNow may bail out the US currency?
Toronto Real Estate prices are beyond absurd. It's the very definition of despair for those out of the market. What I wouldn't do to only pay inflated US housing prices...
I hear you. In the 80s I lived downtown w myAmerican fiancée. Interest rates were 18%… we looked everywhere from Hamilton to Pickering north to Aurora and lots of places along the subway routes east/west….. we ended up building a new custom house in Buffalo. I still fondly miss my Canadian home but I’m thankful to b able to afford a home.
It's very painful to watch the situation here in the Greater Toronto Area. A bungalo in Stony Creek listed for $1.5M a few months ago, and a well employed family outside of Barrie had to sell their customized home when their mortgage grew from $3000 to $6000 a month. They had to settle for renting a place for $4000 a month!
Awesome interview! I find his insights and approach to cutting through the situation that we are left with now enlightening. I look forward to the second interview tomorrow.
I am intensely pleased about all who participated in making the RE bubble, and for their sacrficing their fortunes and futures so that other's can eventually also participate.
Alasdair could not have known in January how high & fast the Fed would raise rates vs other Central Banks--That is probably a factor keeping the Dollar up on the DXY.
If my advisor told me the best tactic is to sell and wait, I'd do it. Nothing difficult about it. Perhaps have to use the cash to live for a year but that's not such a bad price to pay. Maybe buy gold bullion in the meantime.
Zero surprise London water system is in trouble. As an American living there I was appalled at how poorly managed the water bill invoicing was handled. There were buildings going for months without a water bill payment submitted to the utility,
If you look at the history, you will observe that one event will sank the fiat currency & bring crumbling governments down. The UK & its fiat currency were brought down by WW2 even though it won but the damage was already done. I travelled to Europe for the first time in my life in 1964 when: 1 BPS = 3.5 US$. 1 US$ = 4.5 SF. 1 BPS = 15.75 SF. Today: 1 BPS = 1.2 US$ 1 SF = 1.1 US$ 1 BPS = 1.1 SF The US$ has lost much of its value but the BPS is even worse. Churchill once said, “ The sun never sets on the British empire”. He was of course an alcoholic who used to consume half a bottle of Scotch whisky a day. Thus he was excused to be delusional. Similar event in the next few years will bring the US$ & the American empire down. I doubt it will take even until 2030. It will be much sooner.
First person that I have heard that Putin came out stronger from the Wagner event. Also referring to Russia as an economic hegemon when its economy is the same size as South Korea, slightly larger than Australia, and 10% of the size of China. Where is the best place to live? Russia. Nothing like giving up democracy for a lower tax rate.
@ 2:38 And the other side is . . . &c. Alas . . . Alasdair, do not forget India !!! They have the greatest potential to revolutionize geopolitics and are consistently underrated in EVERYONE'S discussions. It's like missing the role of California in a discussion of the Gold Rush in American history.
This Bro's geopolitical analysis is laughable. Fact: Russia is collapsing. I live 2 hours from the Russian boarder. Russia is completely different than he's presenting it to be. It's authoritarian, taxes are higher than he's claiming (unless you are low income) and their demographic collapse is abysmal. If Russia was so great, Alasdair would move there.
Look at at Mexico peso. It was 20 pesos to the dollar in 2022-2023 and now today(7-5-23) it is 17 pesos to the dollar. Dollar down almost 18% in nearly 12 months.
The government raising interest rates to lower inflation has the opposite effect, & low employment is all lies. Higher interest rates kill the home builder jobs. A home buyer doesnt cause inflation, he causes jobs with people saving more money in the bank to make lower interest rates, with more houses built, that will make home prices cheaper, but higher interest rates causes builders to lose jobs. Higher interest rates makes lazies that make nothing to cause interest rates to go up. A kid who lives in mom's basement, borrows mom;s car, & credit cards to take a vacation to waste money in motels. Hiring in June doubled what the government expected. ALL THIS TRAVEL causes much hard to find help to cause more inflation with all these unneeded restaurants Once summer vacation is over motels layoff, credit cards, & student loans need to be paid back, then the depression hits.
@@SunofYork 64% of Americans are medication for a debilitating disease. 4 out 10 Americans have TWO debilitating diseases. $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. We lost every war since Hitler. Real wages have been negative for 25 months straight. I would hate to see what you think bad is.
Totally agree. I’ve tried all I can to get sales but for my own failings never cracked it yet these new developments are going to flood ai content blogs with rewritten duplicates. This suggests reputation will be everything. Very exciting times but need to wait until the dust settles? But then the pace will probably just pick up and up.
10 yrs from now that is a different story! Gold yes! Maybe only 5 yrs! I'll post when to buy gold. Right now heading for 1825-1850, but that's only for a trade and not to hold long term yet!
He makes a good point that we should look at the dollar thru others eyes. but I find the schpeil about gold kind of tiresome. A world where gold is valuable is not a good world, compared with what we're used to.
Oh yea, and things he is talking about real estate and morrtages for them that are about to explode in UK and usa? this is already happening in CHIna that he thinks is doing sooo much better ;PPeople are begging CCP to " stimulate" and pump money into real estate - but they can't , becouse they are desperatedly trying to save yuan from collapsing from all foreign investment leaving.
Very true, people downplay advisors role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, my stagnant reserve of $225K has yielded nearly $1m after subsequent investments so far
4:09 The goal of the investor is profit. If they can take out loans on a utility co and then declare bankruptcy due to bad management, they walk away with free money. We the people must combat this type of corruption
Tribe, interesting word choice to describe BRICS, more imperial thoughts to follow. Gold is the ultimate apex preditor. The financialization of the western economies will come home to roost.
Alasdair the "perma bear" is always welcome to visit this bear den 😀 Gold and Silver along with other commodities are ALSO going to get CRUSHED when the financial markets implode as investors furiously sell them to cover margin calls.
Apparently, there was quite a drop on gold in 2008 as well, though it was hard to pick up an ounce of physical without a huge premium, as few dealers wanted to unload their gold when the price was down. It's safe to say that one ought to also have food, cash, and other resources at hand during a crash as the PMs will likely take a dip at least at the start.
12:41 What does he mean by "joining BRICs"? That's just an acronym for 4 countries, so you can't exactly "join" it. Are they trying to make a free trade area? A currency union? What?
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio
T-bill and chill as long as government is expanding faster than private capital. 10YR interest rates dropped from 5 down to 3¾ and up to 4%. The market expects rates to fall but the banks see too much economic risk. Expect interest rates to rise but be aware the government cannot afford 7%+ and its pivot from fighting inflation has moved to fighting higher interest rates. Expect the banks to demand higher rates with because of scarce credit and cause higher rates. But 7%+ should be the ceiling the government can afford.
Thanks for the informative program. The flight to safety to the US stock market and dollar is keeping the market going, but a crash is inevitable due to the global economic crisis and excessive debt. Be prepared for the "Default Phase" with bankruptcies and asset seizures. To protect against inflation, trade long-term and consider Mrs caitlyn potter day trading, which has helped me earn over 72k in 20 weeks.
I also invest with Mrs. Potter; she assesses a 20% fee on profits following each trading session, which is reasonable given the amount of work she expends to generate substantial profits.
I remortgaged early and paid a early redemption charge. But I got 2.78 for 5 years and now my savings are getting double that. IN YOUR FACE BANKERS. I WIN. I WIN.
Well done. I hate to rain on your parade, but unless your savings are earning more than the real rate of inflation (almost impossible to do even if investing in extreme risk assets) plus taxes and fees, then your savings are still losing buying power. You might have your buying power being eroded less than others, but unless you're earning 15+% on your savings, then you're still losing. The big winner - at your expense - is the Federal Government which benefits by inflation because it allows them to pay interest on the enormous debt with inflated, thus less valuable, dollars.
@@raymond_luxury_yacht No sir. There is no point or time where small returns or small earning "win" over higher returns. I'm genuinely happy that you have secured a measure of financial freedom, but the whole "small wins" slogan sounds like a cope. And when it comes to money, nothing is worse than smoking the copium.
I love listening to people I disagree with. I give him a thumbs up. The dollar is the world currency because there is no other choice. How many FX trades are settled in the dollar on a percentage basis? If I was in another economy and believe what this gentleman espouses I would make my next loan in the dollar because it would depreciate against my local currency. I think the dollar is going down but not anytime soon...barring a very large war. Brazil is taking the rad cabbage ...how has the devaluation of the CNY help the bricks argument? I would say not well. The dollar is still the cleanest sheet in the dirty hamper.
As BRICS starts moving Settlement provisions of Commercial Contracts from Dollars to Yaun or whatever for about half the People on Earth it is inevitable that Dollar loses Value because Currency Value is strongly Pegged to Value of Life Support goods and services any given Fiat Currency is used to acquire. This is a most difficult reality for many to understand. "Half the People on Earth are moving off the Dollar." brings a Shoulder Shrug from many very smart People as well as Denial that BRICS may find it possible to use Currency other than Dollar to conduct Commerce. The most frequent Comment I hear on the Topic is"The Dollar isn't going anywhere" As to Transition Time, look to length of Commercial Contracts outside of Force Majeure? 5 Years is a good average in Individual Contracts. I expect BRICS meetings to focus on Contract Settlement provisions with an eye to making new Master Contracts (Contract Templates) have non Dollar Settlement provisions. We shall see how things proceed. Many poo pooh Mult Polarity and again Shrug Shoulders when reminded of Hundreds of Billions stolen from Afghanistan and Russia via Sanctions. Full Faith and Credit to be sure. Denialism Rules! TY for excellent presentation. I'm no Wiz on anything. I'm Joe Six Pack with pleanty of experience bidding for Work under public Statements of Work via Master Contracts. There's also the little issue of 55 Billion Cubic Meters of anual Natural Gas indefinitely off line via Nordstream. Shoulder Shrug. Maybe Covid Vaccine has unidentified side effects? A great many People across Earth exhibit major Cognitive issues on simple cause and effect. I find it most disturbing that so many people can't understand Multi Polarity is real. I feel like Cassandra in a World of Zombies. Not you Adam. TY again for a small dose of Sanity. I'm poor in Money but even I'm squirreling away a 5 Dollar Gold Piece and roll of silver Dimes each month Incase things go splat I can have something to spend. I grow my own Garden, preserve Food, do lots of Hunting and Fishing so I can get buy. It's going to Appocalyptic for many. I really appreciate people like Mr. McLeod. It helps me keep me centered in a World of Zombies. Maybe I'll make him a Coon Skin Hat for Christmas? Soon to be EU Winter fashion rage

The financial market needs a benchmark to measure wealth against.

This Bro's geopolitical analysis is laughable. Fact: Russia is collapsing. I live 2 hours from the Russian boarder. Russia is completely different than he's presenting it to be. It's authoritarian, taxes are higher than he's claiming (unless you are low income) and their demographic collapse is abysmal. If Russia was so great, Alasdair would move there.
Good for you. Your comment is laughable.

Look at at Mexico peso. It was 20 pesos to the dollar in 2022-2023 and now today(7-5-23) it is 17 pesos to the dollar. Dollar down almost 18% in nearly 12 months.
Excellent guest, puts things into perspective🥇
Investing in cypto now should be in every individual, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision that you have made today.......
The thing about been successful is working toward it and not going the other way round
You are right. Been thinking of going into gold and cyptocurrency
It's obvious everyone is doing this online Investment
@@thylda7877I totally agree with you it has been an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
Investment is the key to achieving success with the current pandemic slowing down so many businesses aww
32:46 Please put long-run charts like that on a log scale, or else they're misleading.
The government raising interest rates to lower inflation has the opposite effect, & low employment is all lies. Higher interest rates kill the home builder jobs. A home buyer doesnt cause inflation, he causes jobs with people saving more money in the bank to make lower interest rates, with more houses built, that will make home prices cheaper, but higher interest rates causes builders to lose jobs. Higher interest rates makes lazies that make nothing to cause interest rates to go up. A kid who lives in mom's basement, borrows mom;s car, & credit cards to take a vacation to waste money in motels. Hiring in June doubled what the government expected. ALL THIS TRAVEL causes much hard to find help to cause more inflation with all these unneeded restaurants Once summer vacation is over motels layoff, credit cards, & student loans need to be paid back, then the depression hits.
Within the first ten minutes "the best place to be in the world right now is Russia"... Yea... Go buy a ticket then

Ohhhhhh… what a cliff hanger you left that on 👏
Totally agree. I’ve tried all I can to get sales but for my own failings never cracked it yet these new developments are going to flood ai content blogs with rewritten duplicates. This suggests reputation will be everything. Very exciting times but need to wait until the dust settles? But then the pace will probably just pick up and up.
10 yrs from now that is a different story! Gold yes! Maybe only 5 yrs! I'll post when to buy gold.
Right now heading for 1825-1850, but that's only for a trade and not to hold long term yet!

"If you don't get involved in politics..."
Funny thing that. Often it isn't our own choice to "get involved in politics."
I just got another credit card offer in the mail today. Plenty of lenders exist out there who are still eager to extend credit.
Man Adam left us on a cliff hanger this week lol well played sir 👍
Thank you very much...
He makes a good point that we should look at the dollar thru others eyes. but I find the schpeil about gold kind of tiresome. A world where gold is valuable is not a good world, compared with what we're used to.
10:08 That was dark. Doing alright, Adam? 🥺
I’ve never heard any predictions from McLeod which turned out to be right. Basel 3, end of the dollar …
Love Wealthion but I’ll skip this one. 🙄
Oh yea, and things he is talking about real estate and morrtages for them that are about to explode in UK and usa? this is already happening in CHIna that he thinks is doing sooo much better ;PPeople are begging CCP to " stimulate" and pump money into real estate - but they can't , becouse they are desperatedly trying to save yuan from collapsing from all foreign investment leaving.
Very true, people downplay advisors role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, my stagnant reserve of $225K has yielded nearly $1m after subsequent investments so far
4:09 The goal of the investor is profit. If they can take out loans on a utility co and then declare bankruptcy due to bad management, they walk away with free money. We the people must combat this type of corruption
Tribe, interesting word choice to describe BRICS, more imperial thoughts to follow. Gold is the ultimate apex preditor. The financialization of the western economies will come home to roost.
Alasdair the "perma bear" is always welcome to visit this bear den 😀 Gold and Silver along with other commodities are ALSO going to get CRUSHED when the financial markets implode as investors furiously sell them to cover margin calls.
Apparently, there was quite a drop on gold in 2008 as well, though it was hard to pick up an ounce of physical without a huge premium, as few dealers wanted to unload their gold when the price was down. It's safe to say that one ought to also have food, cash, and other resources at hand during a crash as the PMs will likely take a dip at least at the start.
12:41 What does he mean by "joining BRICs"? That's just an acronym for 4 countries, so you can't exactly "join" it. Are they trying to make a free trade area? A currency union? What?
Both
@@Wealthion A currency union would mean more transparency in reporting and less control over it, so I just can't see Xi and Putin ever going for it.
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio
T-bill and chill as long as government is expanding faster than private capital. 10YR interest rates dropped from 5 down to 3¾ and up to 4%. The market expects rates to fall but the banks see too much economic risk. Expect interest rates to rise but be aware the government cannot afford 7%+ and its pivot from fighting inflation has moved to fighting higher interest rates. Expect the banks to demand higher rates with because of scarce credit and cause higher rates. But 7%+ should be the ceiling the government can afford.

Top man Ally.

P.S. Thanks for all the., positive reviews.......mum!@!?😅🤪
Paradigm ending. What is next? digital specie? Decentralization?
Thanks for the informative program. The flight to safety to the US stock market and dollar is keeping the market going, but a crash is inevitable due to the global economic crisis and excessive debt. Be prepared for the "Default Phase" with bankruptcies and asset seizures. To protect against inflation, trade long-term and consider Mrs caitlyn potter day trading, which has helped me earn over 72k in 20 weeks.
I also invest with Mrs. Potter; she assesses a 20% fee on profits following each trading session, which is reasonable given the amount of work she expends to generate substantial profits.
How can I contact her as I'm new to this?
I was first skeptical until I made the decision to try. Its enormous profits are fantastic! I have little to say.
@clpotterfx
I will contact her right now, thanks.
Haha, nice cliffhanger!
Please host a 'face-off' between Alistair and the "Dollar Milkshake" guy (Brent Johnson?)
I remortgaged early and paid a early redemption charge. But I got 2.78 for 5 years and now my savings are getting double that. IN YOUR FACE BANKERS. I WIN. I WIN.
Well done. I hate to rain on your parade, but unless your savings are earning more than the real rate of inflation (almost impossible to do even if investing in extreme risk assets) plus taxes and fees, then your savings are still losing buying power. You might have your buying power being eroded less than others, but unless you're earning 15+% on your savings, then you're still losing. The big winner - at your expense - is the Federal Government which benefits by inflation because it allows them to pay interest on the enormous debt with inflated, thus less valuable, dollars.
Take those savings and start a small business. Make the money grow
Lol 😂 love that energy
@@juliancate7089 yeah i know. but small wins!
@@raymond_luxury_yacht No sir. There is no point or time where small returns or small earning "win" over higher returns. I'm genuinely happy that you have secured a measure of financial freedom, but the whole "small wins" slogan sounds like a cope. And when it comes to money, nothing is worse than smoking the copium.
I love listening to people I disagree with. I give him a thumbs up. The dollar is the world currency because there is no other choice. How many FX trades are settled in the dollar on a percentage basis? If I was in another economy and believe what this gentleman espouses I would make my next loan in the dollar because it would depreciate against my local currency. I think the dollar is going down but not anytime soon...barring a very large war. Brazil is taking the rad cabbage ...how has the devaluation of the CNY help the bricks argument? I would say not well. The dollar is still the cleanest sheet in the dirty hamper.
As BRICS starts moving Settlement provisions of Commercial Contracts from Dollars to Yaun or whatever for about half the People on Earth it is inevitable that Dollar loses Value because Currency Value is strongly Pegged to Value of Life Support goods and services any given Fiat Currency is used to acquire.
This is a most difficult reality for many to understand.
"Half the People on Earth are moving off the Dollar."
brings a Shoulder Shrug from many very smart People as well as Denial that BRICS may find it possible to use Currency other than Dollar to conduct Commerce.
The most frequent Comment I hear on the Topic is"The Dollar isn't going anywhere"
As to Transition Time, look to length of Commercial Contracts outside of Force Majeure? 5 Years is a good average in Individual Contracts. I expect BRICS meetings to focus on Contract Settlement provisions with an eye to making new Master Contracts (Contract Templates) have non Dollar Settlement provisions.
We shall see how things proceed.
