George Noble, CIO of Noble Capital Advisors, argues we're in a regime shift where US exceptionalism is ending. He sees global rotation away from dollar assets as foreign capital heads home. He expects bond yields to rise significantly until markets force politicians' hands, recommending investors get out of paper money and into scarce assets like gold. Noble is bearish on US equities, especially consumer stocks and the Mag-7, favoring foreign markets and gold as protection against fiscal irresponsibility.
