Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, just issued a major economic warning. In Dimon’s eyes, the economy has falsely recovered from the tariffs imposed on Liberation Day, with investors exhibiting an extraordinary amount of “complacency” in the face of mounting economic risks. If the country’s biggest bank is saying this, why aren’t Americans listening, and what should you do with your investments right now to protect yourself from more risks to come?

The Liberation Day tariffs tanked the stock market and raised serious inflation concerns almost overnight. While the stock market has recovered, inflation fears are still peaking, economic sentiment has deflated, and consumer debt is rising. Is now the time to sell and move into cash in case a recession or more serious economic downturn arrives?

Dave is breaking down the most significant economic risks we face right now, which have the biggest effects on real estate, and how he is personally managing his money to protect himself from economic risks that most investors aren’t prepared for. But what should you be doing now? Dave is sharing his “capital preservation” checklist.
