Chuck Norris....you have now been replaced....

This has nothing to do with investing, but I just wanted to include it on here. This guy was on his own and got ambushed by 30 Taliban. He single handedly neutralized the threat and even used a sandbag and a tripod. Amazing courage! We need to look after our Gurkha a lot better, it's disgraceful how we treat them.

Gold and Silver Update - 29 Aug 12

Urgent Silver update - 22 Aug 12

Things are heating up. My view is that gold and silver prices have started their bull run. I said that we wouldn't have these cheap prices for long and I was hoping they'd last till October, but hey...this is where the fun starts...

A little bit of controversy a day keeps the banks at bay...

Came across an interesting video a while ago. It's definitely thought provoking!

Maths has never been so straight forward...

So folks:
- John Paulson has just bought $18 Billion worth of Gold.
- George Soros has sold ALL of his financial stocks for $50 Million and bought $100 Million worth of Gold.
- The Central banks have gone from biggest sellers of Gold to biggest buyers.
- China has bought over $2 Trillion of Gold and Silver in the last 24 months.

- The Rothschilds and Rockefellers have joined forces for the first time since 1928 (a year before the Great Depression).
- Eric Sprott and Jim Rogers (billionaires) have most of their net worth in Gold and Silver.

So surely if the world's smartest billionaires are fleeing to Gold and Silver for financial safety...surely that's a sign that the rest of us should be doing so as well?

I'm no mathematician, but this algebraic equation makes perfect crystal sense to me...:

Brutal austerity + toxic politcal/financial corruption + rising bond yields + a lack of confidence in the financial system + banks that are massively overleveraged + a massive credit crunch + ERISA + global silver shortage + Rothschilds betting against the Euro + China owning more Dollars than the US + US debt increasing by $4 BILLION per day + Iran/Syria = A financial implosion of historic proportions + Gold & Silver prices to the moon + JP Morgan becoming insolvent + hyperinflationary depression.

Call a me a doom gloomer, but what's the worst that could happen by buying a lot of Gold and Silver? Please email me, because I see no reason not to...

History Doesn't Repeat Itself, It Just Rhymes Really Well!

On my DVD (www.HedgingAgainstUncertainty.com), I mentioned that in the world of finance and investing, history nearly always repeats itself. I then go on to say that because of this clockwork predictability, investing can be very easy if you know what you're looking for. Well...not long ago I was having a rather in depth conversation/debate with an acquaintance over the world crisis and he was adamant that history certainly does not repeat itself and that anyone who invests and hopes that history will pop up and say hello again is a fool. Although I disagreed and attempted to prove him wrong with some facts and graphs, the debate continued. However his argument did spawn 2 thoughts:

 i.) Hope is probably one of the worst things to have when you trade or invest. It's almost as bad as revenge or greed, so if you ever find yourself making a trade and 'hoping' it goes in your favour...you're in for a surprise! You really need to 100% know why you're making that trade based on facts. NOT what your gut is telling you. The market can't hear your gut.

 ii.) The history thing. It bugged me. So I recently re-watched the DVD again and studied a lot of my past work and research into the market data I've amassed over the years. As a result, I'd now like to make a retraction. :-S Although history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme really really well and most of the time, when it does rhyme, it tends to be sung in a sinister tone. It seems as though the God of Economics has a cheeky sense of humour. This 'God' seems to enjoy watching us humans fall into the same problems and make the same stupid jerk reactions time and time again. Except that every time things repeat, just for giggles, this 'God' changes events ever so slightly, sits back with his popcorn and watches our own undoing. Pick any economic disaster over the last 300 years and I can find you multiple events in history which albeit may not match it exactly, is merely a different octave.

So why is this? Why are we continually doomed for failure? Well, in a nutshell, it's simply due to human nature. As a race, we simply cannot master self-control. Especially when our green horns protrude in the presence of money and power. The great Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild even said, "I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the money supply." Do you really think President Obama controls the US? It's quickly becoming common knowledge that Goldman Sachs controls America, but who controls Goldman Sachs? You guessed it...the Rothchilds. While they may not own it completely, they have a large stake. There are even several unconfirmed sources that say the Rothchilds are worth over $100 trillion, however it could just be hearsay. But I digress.

Back to human nature. So we may start out with good intentions like the Americans did 200 years ago with the Constitution. However the powers that be saw gaping holes of opportunity over the decades and pounced on them without us noticing. Like completely ignoring the Constitution by unpegging the Dollar from Gold. Or the introduction of the Federal Reserve. Please watch my video about the money supply and the Fed here, but ever since its inception, the Dollar has been devalued every single day. To the point where right now, the US Debt increases by $4 Billion per DAY and the US currency supply has quadrupled in the last 3 years! Power is gained through enslavement via taxes and the the Fed steals money from the public in the form of inflation. Commonly known as the stealth tax. The world's currency supply is well into exponential growth and every single dollar the Fed creates out of thin air, immediately devalues every other Dollar in existence. Thus, devaluing the Dollars and buying power in your pocket. The Dollar has lost more than 97% in value since the Fed reared its octopus grip on America/world. But don't for one minute think you're safe in the UK. Our debt increases by £450 Million per day and our currency supply is also in exponential growth. The Bank of England is just as bad and is simply the Federal Reserve's ugly younger sister.

Our own undoing 9 times out of 10 normally starts from the birth of a fiat currency. Again, this video explains it all, but every major civilisation from the Romans to the Greeks all died due to war and fiat currencies. War is simply the cigarette but fiat currencies are the cancer and right now, our cancer is terminal. Fiat currencies have a 100% failure rate over the last 3000 years and if you think we've finally figured out how to cure this cancer, please carry on watching the news and burying your head in the sand.

Now some of you may be wondering how we can counteract this ominous currency devaluing. The simple answer and the same answer which has stood for over 3000 years are Gold and Silver. Put it this way, in 2006, 1 ounce of Silver cost about £6 and this ounce would buy you 6 litres of petrol. Right now in 2012, this same ounce of silver will buy you 16 litres of petrol even though we now have crazy oil prices and inflation. You can barely buy a kebab for £6 these days!

So there you go. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again expecting different results. Well call me facetious, but I think the world’s economists and bankers are insane to the membrane! I believe history is repeating itself again as we speak and what will play out in around 2016/17 will make the 1929 Great Depression look like a night out in Blackpool. The US and the Dollar is the modern day Rome and the gates are burning. The Economic God has got his karaoke out and is starting to rap!

Economic Collapse Chain Reaction

This is how things may possibly play out. Order of countries may change. It's also highly probable Germany may even be one of the first to leave. But one thing I do know is that this will happen...

Quantitative Easing in a nut shell...

This video may be mocking the financial system but it's 100% correct. Except these days they don't use the printing presses like we're familiar with, all they do these days is type a '1 followed by the required amount of zeros' into a computer and pOOf! Fake currency springs into existence and hits the banks books! Fact.

Silver Update - 29 Jul 12

Big things due for August I believe. If you look at the performance of Silver during August back since 1970, there have only been a handful of negative months, making August one of Silver's most prosperous months. Now it'd be ludicrous to trade or invest just off that fact, but it's nice to know at least. Trying to buy as much physical Silver before it breaks the $30 mark!

Economic Collapse Explained in 10 minutes

As much as I agree with this video, if you properly research Bernanke and the world's central banks, you'll discover how trigger happy they are when it comes to printing money. So yes, I believe there will be deflation like this video states, however it'll end up as a hyperinflationary depression...think 1929 + zimbabwe x 100........

BIG Numbers...Do you really understand them?

Absolute BASICS!

These are absolute basics which everyone needs to know about. It still horrifies me that 90% of Financial Professionals and Politicians don't have a clue about these things!

Some clips from my Hedging Against Uncertainty DVD

Wall Street Protesters, Financial Experts and Ostriches

(This is an article that Chris Duane asked me to write for his website. He's one of the world leaders in gold and silver investing and it was a great honour that my work is slowly being noticed).

I don't read or watch the news anymore but I can't help but come across pictures and headlines about hundreds, if not thousands of people campaigning across the world, holding protests at their financial centres. Now it's become pretty evident that something's not quite right with the world anymore and it's not just me that's feeling it, hence the protests. However do these people actually think that camping outside these financial playgrounds in the attempt to gain media attention will actually change anything? I worked in the UK's Ministry of Defence for 8 months a fair while back and there were protests outside the building pretty much every other day. The only thing these protests accomplished was by simply annoying the people inside the building trying to work. Were the angry mob's views and ideas heeded? No. Simply ignored. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against these recent protests, in fact I agree with many of their views, however if they really want things to change, pitching up a tent and holding up signs isn't the way forward. To slay the beast, first you must understand the beast and how it is actually manipulating and holding you captive. That's why the public as a whole is quite ignorant. It takes time and effort to mentally develop oneself and for most, it's far easier and more entertaining to just switch on the TV to find out what Kim Kardasian is up to. BUT, if you started reading, watching and absorbing the wealth of information Google can find for you, you'll begin to view the world through a whole different lens. And what you'll find will shock you to the core. Your findings may even alienate you from your closest friends and family for appearing as a 'conspiracy theorist'. However, once you've taken the trip down the rabbit hole, there's no turning back.

Although we mustn't rely on it, in the world of finance, history does repeat itself. Mainly down to human nature being as stubborn as a baby. Now as a result of this, there's a large handful of people who can and have accurately 'predicted' future events. I'm not talking about Wall Street whizz kids but people with little financial background. People like you and I. People who have truly taken the time to take their finances and financial education in their own hands. People like Kiyosaki, Chapman, Turk, Maloney and Duane. But this skill isn't exclusively for these industry experts. You too can do it. I myself am a distinctly average Joe with distinctly average qualities. But if you make it your mission to understand how things work and how to protect yourself from the coming mathematically inevitable collapse, you'll be in the top 1% of the world of those prepared for it. You've got to be Noah. Have immense mental courage and then your family will thank you when the rain comes. Sticking your head in the sand like an ostrich and hoping the higher powers will wade in to save the day is no longer an option. For the first time in history, many major factors are all converging to one point in time and trust me, you'll need an ark of Silver, food, guns, gasoline and Gold to ride out this perfect storm. Major factors such as the Gold/Silver manipulation, ERISA, the Petro Dollar collapse, oil reserve decay, fiat currencies' finite life of 45 years, fractional reserve banking, exponential debt and currency supply, the changing of the Global Monetary System and Gold's clockwork re-accountancy of itself against the fiat. All of these factors are going to lead to one outcome: The death of the Dollar and the monumental increase in value (NOT just the fiat price) of precious metals and tangible assets. Now if you're unfamiliar with those factors I just mentioned, this is your homework; find out what they mean and why. Those factors are merely the tip of the world financial Ponzi iceberg and I have spent months developing a library's worth of educational videos for the public. That, I suggest is the first place you start.

Still on the fence? Well the US debt alone increases by $4 BILLION a DAY. And there is more debt in the world than currency. So let me ask you this: Do you really think a debt increase of that value per day is sustainable? Most of the US's assets are held by Foreign Offices. What do you think will happen when the world loses faith in the Dollar? What do you think will happen when the world realises that in investment form, Silver is far rarer than Gold and that Silver is heading to be the first element on the periodic table to become extinct? I could go on, but you get the point. I know I may seem like Dr. Doom at the moment but someone needs to be straight with you and it sure isn't going to be the media or your financial advisor. So what's the silver lining to all of this doom? Silver! Do your homework, find out the 4 billion reasons why this is the case. But before I sign off remember this, Silver is the Achilles heel of the banking sector. If you do the Maths, you'll find that if just 5% of the world bought just 1 ounce of silver...the banks would go bust overnight. That's being conservative. In fact if just 1% of the world did that in the space of a month, you'd have the same effect. I know the world is poor as a whole, but most could afford a $30 Silver coin/bar. So if you want things to change, stop being the slave. Banks only have power whilst we give it to them. So by simply spreading the Silver-word you're doing a lot more good than attending the picket lines. Give a man a gun and he'll be able to rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he'll be able to rob the world. Don't be an ostrich, be Noah.
