MONEY & MARKETS • PURCHASING POWER
The national average savings account is paying 0.38% right now. That’s the FDIC number — not some outlier, that’s what most Americans earn on their cash. Meanwhile, CPI just came in at 4.2% for May, more than double the Fed’s target and the highest reading since April 2023. Run the math on a hundred grand: your bank handed you $380 in interest while inflation ate $4,200 in purchasing power. Last Wednesday the Fed held rates steady again. Your savings account isn’t standing still — it’s falling behind.
For every dollar inflation took from your savings last year, your bank gave you nine cents back.

My accountant is going to kill me
She specifically told me to stop giving away my "Simple Options Trading For Beginners" book for free.
"Bill, you're leaving money on the table," she said. "That book sells for $29.97 on your website."
She's right. But here's what she doesn't understand...
Every trader I help avoid the mistakes I made is one less person who'll quit trading in frustration like I almost did decades ago.
So against her advice, I'm sending you this email.
Right now, you can grab a copy of the same book selling for $29.97 on our website... completely free.
It reveals the ONE options technique that took me 11 years to discover (and saves you from wasting time on the other 47 strategies that don't work).
Inside, you'll find out:
Why "more strategies" actually means "more losses"
The 10-minute nightly routine that replaced my 8-hour trading days
The specific market setup I look for (it's almost embarrassingly simple)
Good Trading,
Bill Poulos
P.S. You can buy this book right now for $29.97, or you can grab your free copy here.
