Moody’s Cut Our Credit, Trump Cut Trillion-Dollar Deals and Main Street, It’s Your Move.

Wealth Matters 3.0 Breaking News Brief May 2025

There are moments in history when geopolitics, macroeconomics, and Main Street opportunity collide.

This past week, between President Trump’s multitrillion-dollar Middle East tour and Moody’s historic downgrade of U.S. credit, was one of those weeks that history will remember.

We are standing at the fault line of a new economic era:

• One where the U.S. is actively reordering global alliances around capital, technology, and defense.

• One where global investors are questioning the solvency of the world’s largest economy.

• And most importantly, one where savvy, agile investors have a once-in-a-decade opportunity to align their strategies to ride the waves of a generational wealth shift.

And it won’t be just Wall Street that wins biggest this time—it will be those closest to the value. Main Street operators. Entrepreneurial investors. Strategic allocators.
