♟ Are the Banks Destroying Your Savings?
“The takeaway is clear: Your savings accounts are destroying your buying power.”
Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club
Editor’s Note: The U.S. dollar has been declining since early 2025, and recently reached a four-year low in early 2026.
In today’s guest article, Oxford Club Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld is showing investors what a weaker dollar means for their spending power, and where to consider investing to outpace inflation.
Marc also recently revealed a special account to park your money. The ultra-rich have been using it for decades, and Marc reveals how you can access it below.

Dear Reader,
Recently, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. has a “strong dollar policy.”
That’s simply not true. And that’s bad news for savers.
Just a day before Bessent’s statement, President Trump himself said of the dollar’s decline, “I think it’s great.”
The president has long been an advocate for a weak dollar, as it improves exports.
However, it destroys savings.
A weak dollar also means imports are more expensive, and since so much of what we buy comes from outside the U.S., that adds to inflation.
Oil, priced in dollars, typically rises with the fall of the dollar as well.
You can see on this chart that when the dollar started to decline rapidly in mid-January, oil prices took off.
The decline of the dollar is also one of the reasons gold and silver have gone parabolic. The U.S. dollar is down 12% since inauguration day last year.
Even if the dollar rebounds and doesn’t deteriorate your savings, the banks will.
The average interest rate on a savings account is below 0.4%. The average money market account pays less than 0.6%, and the average one-year certificate of deposit will earn you a whopping 1.6%. Meanwhile, inflation is currently at 2.7%.
The takeaway is clear: Your savings accounts are destroying your buying power.

Get Bryan Bottarelli’s Top Stocks…
Inside this report, you’ll discover the names and ticker symbols of all Bryan’s top stocks (they haven’t had a down month in 5 years!), along with more details on each recommendation.
You’ll see how much they tend to outperform during their special months, how they compare to the market, and most importantly… The exact type of play to make on each for a shot at the biggest gains. >>> Click Here.
And with the president’s determination to keep interest rates low, that’s not likely to change anytime soon.
So what can savers do?
For one, you can buy some T-bills. Currently, 3- and 6-month bills are paying slightly more than 3.5%. But when the bills mature, you may have to reinvest at a lower rate if rates go down (as President Trump is pushing for).
Those who can take on a little more risk can buy quality dividend growth stocks. That way, they can get paid at least as much as T-bills, but with the very high chance that those payments will increase every year, which will actually grow your buying power.
YOUR ACTION PLAN
Lastly, there’s an investment that I love right now that has generated an average annual return of 29% for the last 25 years.
It’s a conservative way to play the AI boom without investing in ultra-volatile stocks, unproven technologies, or any of the companies that have all that circular financing (where one invests in the other, which buys chips from the third, which owns a significant portion of the first).
None of that nonsense.
Just a company with a tremendous track record that was doing business decades before AI entered the mainstream.

Good investing,
