This week, we shared some of the best Sovereign Investor Daily articles of 2019.

They’re all great articles. So in case you didn’t have time to keep up with your email inbox this week, I wanted to give you a chance today to get caught up.

 

What the Government Shutdown Means for the Next Recession
An estimated 800,000 federal workers have missed at least one paycheck due to the partial government shutdown. Another estimated 1.2 million federal contractors have also missed paychecks.

And it’s this: Commercial real estate is the place to invest in 2020. A few factors are creating an ideal investment scenario.

That means now is the perfect time to get in, and I have two ways to trade it right now.

 

JPMorgan Chase’s New Cryptocurrency Takes Aim at Bitcoin
When bitcoin’s bear market ensued last year, its price dropped 85% to $3,200.
The bankers were surely laughing at bitcoin enthusiasts’ misfortune.
Behind the scenes, however, a cohort were busy building a rival to bitcoin’s technology.
And this means the fight has just begun.

 

Ted Bauman also had an important announcement on Wednesday.

You may have missed it. After all, I don’t exactly expect everyone to spend their Christmas Day reading financial newsletters.

So, just in case you didn’t see it, here’s what Ted had to say…
