Louis Navellier here, I want to show you the math that most Americans never see. Over the past 20 years, wages in America have grown roughly 12%. The stock market? Up over 380% in that same period. Two decades. One kind of money barely moved. The other more than tripled. And it’s been this way for longer than that. In 1991, I built what I called the $400,000 Model Portfolio. Two of the stocks in it became the #1 and #2 best-performing stocks of the entire decade. The Los Angeles Times documented the growth of these companies. EMC Corp: 94% per year, nine years running. $10,000 became $3.96 million. Dell: 93% per year. Another $10,000 became $3.85 million. Microsoft, the “slow” one: 63% per year. $10,000 became $835,000. $30,000 split across all three became $8.6 million. Meanwhile, the people who stayed in cash — who kept their savings in the “safe” currency — watched their purchasing power quietly disappear. A dollar in 1991 buys significantly less today. It doesn’t make headlines when it happens. It just happens. Your grandparents bought a house for $20,000. Your parents paid $80,000. The same house now costs $400,000. That’s not the house getting more valuable. That’s the dollar getting weaker and never bouncing back. Everyone panics publicly when stocks crash or even follow a downward trend… But as the dollar loses its purchasing power every single day, nobody calls it a crisis… Which one is actually more dangerous to your financial future? I’ve been watching this for 47 years. And right now, I believe the gap between the dollar’s slow decline and the wealth being built on the other side is wider, and moving faster, than at any point in my career. I’ve recorded a free briefing explaining exactly what I’m seeing, and what I believe the right move is right now. Click here to watch my brand new free briefing.
