    Can You Put Gold in Your 401(k) or IRA?
    2026/02/26
    Can you legally convert a 401(k) or IRA into physical gold?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos explain how Precious Metals IRAs work — including how investors can transfer retirement funds into physical gold and silver without triggering tax penalties.
    With metals already exceeding price forecasts this year, the discussion shifts from speculation to strategy:
    • How Gold IRAs are structured
    • Why there are no tax consequences when done properly
    • Liquidity inside retirement accounts
    • The difference between digital bank credits and tangible assets
    • Why diversification into precious metals remains relevant
    As global volatility, inflation, and debt levels rise, more investors are asking whether part of their retirement portfolio should be held in something real.
    This episode walks through the process step by step.

  • Will $63 Trillion Debt Push Gold as High as $10.000?

    Will $63 Trillion Debt Push Gold as High as $10.000?
    2026/02/20
    Is $10,000 gold by 2030 unrealistic — or inevitable? In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down Morningstar’s projection of a potential gold supercycle and examine the fiscal forces that may be driving it. With U.S. gross federal debt projected to rise from roughly $39 trillion to $63 trillion within the next decade — and annual deficits climbing toward $3 trillion — the structural pressure on the dollar is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. This episode covers: • Why short-term gold volatility doesn’t change long-term trajectories
    • The difference between crypto speculation and physical gold stability
    • How rising deficits impact currency strength
    • Comparisons to World War II debt levels
    • Why deficit growth of 50% matters
    • The math behind a potential gold supercycle Dean and Chris explain why gold has historically outperformed conservative forecasts — and why long-term fiscal trends may matter more than daily price swings. Is $10,000 gold hype… or arithmetic? 👉 Hear Chris & Dean on THE SECRET WAR ON CASH

  • The Slow Erosion of Dollar Dominance

    The Slow Erosion of Dollar Dominance
    2026/02/18
    Germany is reassessing BRICS — and Deutsche Bank says the dollar has “lost its exceptionalism.”
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze two developments that may signal accelerating pressure on the U.S. dollar:
    • Germany signaling it was wrong to alienate BRICS nations
    • European efforts to build bridges with India and Brazil
    • Deutsche Bank stating the dollar has “lost its exceptionalism”
    • Investors hedging the dollar instead of running to it
    • AI-driven capital concentration risk
    • Comparisons to dot-com era overexposure
    For decades, the U.S. dollar was considered the world’s safe haven. But if global investors now view it as “riskier,” what does that mean for long-term confidence?
    This isn’t about sudden collapse. It’s about steady erosion — and global capital repositioning in real time.

  • Is the AI Boom the Next Dot-Com Bubble?

    Is the AI Boom the Next Dot-Com Bubble?
    2026/02/13
    From California’s controversial Super Bowl tax to unprofitable AI startups, are we seeing economic distortion build again?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze two major trends shaping today’s financial landscape:

    • AI startups burning cash without profits
    • Comparisons to the dot-com bubble
    • Crypto volatility parallels
    • Investor risk vs tangible value
    • California’s “duty-day” tax on Super Bowl players
    • High-tax state migration trends
    With speculative capital flowing into AI companies that have never generated profits — and state governments stretching tax policy in creative ways — this episode asks a larger question:
    Are we repeating past mistakes?
    Dean and Chris explain why fundamentals matter more than buzzwords — and why investors should distinguish hype from sustainable value.

  • Is China Taking a Hammer to the U.S. Dollar?

    Is China Taking a Hammer to the U.S. Dollar?
    2026/02/11
    Is China accelerating the global move away from the U.S. dollar?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin, President & CEO of Swiss America, and co-host Chris Agelastos examine reports that China has instructed state-run banks to reduce exposure to U.S. Treasuries — formalizing a trend that has been building for years.
    At the same time:
    • The U.S. added $132 billion to the national debt in a single month
    • Total national debt approaches historic levels
    • The U.S. Dollar Index has weakened significantly
    • BRICS nations continue diversifying reserves into gold
      Even Wall Street voices, including the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, have warned that America’s borrowing trajectory is unsustainable.
      Dean and Chris break down:
      • Why China’s Treasury reduction matters now more than ever
      • How BRICS alignment changes the scale of de-dollarization
      • Why this may not be a sudden collapse — but a steady erosion
      • What “unsustainable” borrowing means in practical terms
      • Why central banks are increasing gold reserves
      • How dollar weakness impacts inflation and purchasing power
        This episode explores the difference between panic and repositioning — and why sovereign-level capital movement tells a bigger story than headlines alone.
        If global confidence in the dollar continues to erode, the implications could extend far beyond currency markets.

  • Why BRICS Now Control Half the World’s Gold

    Why BRICS Now Control Half the World’s Gold
    2026/02/05
    Countries around the world are selling U.S. Treasuries—and buying gold. In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze a major financial shift as BRICS nations continue dumping dollar-denominated assets in favor of physical gold. Brazil’s sale of $61 billion in U.S. Treasuries is just the latest example of a broader trend reshaping global reserves. The discussion explores:
    • Why central banks and governments are abandoning U.S. debt
    • How BRICS now control over half of global gold supply
    • Why sanctions and financial weaponization are accelerating de-dollarization
    • What surging U.S. debt means for the dollar’s future
    • Why gold has dramatically outperformed cash and Treasuries
    • What happens if global confidence in the dollar breaks
    This episode offers a clear, grounded look at sovereign-level financial behavior—and why gold is becoming the preferred asset in an increasingly unstable monetary system. 👉 Hear Chris & Dean on THE SECRET WAR ON CASH

  • Gold & Silver Forecasts That Change the Next 5 Years

    Gold & Silver Forecasts That Change the Next 5 Years
    2026/02/03
    Where could gold and silver be over the next five years—and why are governments racing to acquire them now?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin, President & CEO of Swiss America, and co-host Chris Agelastos break down bold five-year outlooks for gold and silver and explain why central banks, BRICS nations, and major institutions are aggressively accumulating physical metal—often far more than they publicly disclose.
    The conversation explores:
    • Why China and central banks are quietly stockpiling gold at record levels
    • How confidence in paper assets, currencies, and debt-based systems is eroding
    • Why gold price targets extending toward the end of the decade are being taken seriously
    • How silver’s dual role as both a safe haven and an industrial metal (AI, data centers, solar, technology) could drive sustained demand
    • Why owning physical metal is fundamentally different from ETFs, futures, or paper claims
      This episode isn’t about short-term speculation. It’s about long-term positioning in a world undergoing monetary, geopolitical, and technological change—where confidence, not just price, determines value.
