Dear Reader,

‘If the disease is circulating elsewhere in this incredibly globalized interconnected world, the disease will come back again.’

That’s Stephanie Topp, a professor of public health at James Cook University in Townsville. Right now, the disease does seem to be circulating once more, almost everywhere. Topp is outlining Australia’s — and the world’s — dawning ‘Long COVID’ reality.

If you recall, that’s the title of an investment strategy paper Jim Rickards and I published earlier in the year.

Its thesis is simple: Despite vaccines, this crisis will be with us for years to come. Most mainstream analysts and commentators don’t realise this fact. Or have realised far too late.

Those who plan their money and investments now for a ‘Long COVID’ Decade could well end this decade well ahead of everyone else.

I suggest if you’ve not read this, you really should.

In the last few months, the progression of the pandemic has tracked pretty much exactly as Jim and I have predicted.

In first world countries, the vaccines are filtering to the masses at an increasing rate.

But…at the same time…so are new variants of the virus itself.

Infections worldwide ROSE 47% in March. By the beginning of April, the infection rate was actually HIGHER than it was for most of 2020.

It’s ripping through everywhere — South America, South Asia, the Middle East. Many emerging economies with healthcare systems that are breaking at the seams.

As Stephanie Topp says, their problem is our problem.

And will be indefinitely.

There is no end in sight with regard to Australia’s policy of sporadic lockdowns.

This is truly a long-haul situation.

And you would do well to prepare your investments accordingly.
