Die Finanzmärkte können vor allem kurzfristig äußerst unvorhersehbar sein. Ob Pandemien, Kriege, Rohstoffkrisen oder Strafzölle – gerade Aktienkurse zeigen oft innerhalb weniger Tage große Kursverluste. Der Handels- und Finanzexperte Andreas Schweitzer zeigt allen Lesern eine interessante Alternative auf, die jedem Portfolio zu mehr Stabilität verhelfen kann. Außenhandelsfinanzierung als Investment ist nicht an die schwankenden Kurse der Finanzmärkte gebunden, und egal welche Krisen die Menschheit auch umtreiben – Handel wird immer getrieben.

Die unzähligen Skandale kosteten die Bank 22 Milliarden Franken − und ihren Ruf.

You're being robbed. Every single day. And it's completely legal. Every year, Americans pay $1. 1 trillion in interest to bankers who create money from nothing. Not from deposits. Not from reserves. From keystrokes. The bank types "$300,000" into your mortgage account, charges you $580,000 over 30 years, and if you can't pay interest on money they invented, they take your house. That's not banking. That's theft with a legal framework.

“Captivating . . . [Lowenstein] makes what subsequently occurred at Treasury and on Wall Street during the early 1860s seem as enthralling as what transpired on the battlefield or at the White House.” —Harold Holzer, Wall Street Journal “Ways and Means, an account of the Union’s...
