George Friedman: Seat Belt and Retirement Plan

george friedman: Investing as this global march toward nationalism unfolds will be volatile, says George Friedman, founder and chairman of Geopolitical Futures, an online publication that forecasts and explains global events, according to Market Watch. Accordingly, whether you are a do-it-yourself investor, work with a financial adviser or contribute to a company-sponsored retirement plan, the political and economic climate ahead demands greater awareness about where your money is committed and why. Investors, keep your seat belt fastened. The transformation to a more closed, national-centered political and economic world order from an open international structure won't be completed this year or even next, Friedman adds, but rather will form over the next decade or so, defining Donald Trump's presidency and that of the U.S. leader who directly follows him. The new political order is at odds with the old economic order, and the ensuing struggle will impact your investments and possibly your job, depending on whether your industry is favored. Globally, this tectonic shift will reshuffle positions and places of power among both nations and corporations. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
