Government Won't Tell You About A
Dawning New Age of Desperation:
Your Savings & Retirement Are
In Danger From 3 Imminent Threats
Where The Old Rules Don't Apply
Learn To Protect What You Have,
Consistently Lock In Winning Investments,
And Bulletproof Your Financial Future
From the Desk of Graham Summers
Dear Investor,
You might think it's odd that I'm telling you about something that 'almost' happened well over a year ago on September 18, 2008.
But the revelation by Rep. Paul Kanjorski is one of the most chilling statements about this ongoing financial crisis you'll ever hear.
And a freshly-proposed government money market regulation has now created a new risk lurking ominously in your future.
Here's the background ...
It Almost Happened:
The End Of Our Economic
System As We Know It!
An electronic run on the banks was barely averted by a Federal Reserve that was caught totally unprepared despite their so-called 'expert' management.
We were mere hours from being wiped out!
Can you imagine what would have happened to your money? Your family? Your future?
And Kanjorski's no conspiracy nut, if you're wondering. He was the Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair at the time and was only repeating what then-Treasury Secretary Paulson told him.
But here's something else you didn't know ...
Nothing's been done to defend your hard-earned money from another electronic run on the banks except something that's perhaps even worse ...
The government's decided to "protect" you by freezing your funds just when you might really need them!
Yes, You Read That Correctly ...
New regulations proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission are going to yank out one of the core pillars from underneath the entire $3.3 trillion money market industry.
Money market fund managers will have the option to "suspend redemptions to allow for the orderly liquidation of fund assets."
In other words ...
"Your" money is the fund manager's money until he decides otherwise.
Even if you don't think you own money market funds, think again:
"...today, money market funds account for approximately 39% of all investment company assets; about 80% of all U.S. companies use money market funds in managing their cash balances; and about 20% of the cash balances of all U.S. households are held in money market funds. Clearly, money market funds have become part of the fabric by which families, and companies manage their financial affairs."
-The SEC's Luis Aguilar on June 24, 2009
You see, it's very likely that funds you're invested in will be affected by this regulation.
The next time there's a market crash and you try to withdraw what you thought was 100% safe money, you'll instead be told, "Sorry - your funds are now frozen. Bank runs have become illegal."
This is a crisis on top of a crisis!
And There Will Be Another
Crisis in 2010. Here's Why ...
Everyone knows the US has a debt problem. But most individual investors fail to grasp the severity of the situation.
The US “officially” owes $12 trillion.
This debt is continuously coming due and so we have to “roll it over”. This means that we must convince our lenders to lend to us again for an even longer period (or else pay back the money -- or default).
The chart below (from the Treasury's own November 2, 2009 Quarterly Refunding report) shows the amount of debt maturing in the next 30 years. By the way, these debts are denominated in billions.
This “rollover” process happens all the time. And from the chart above it looks like "business as usual" with the odd spike here and there, right?
Wrong!
In fact, the US has to roll over debt worth $125 billion in the first few months of 2010 alone ($26bn + $25bn + $48bn (whoa!) + $26bn) as the Treasury's own data illustrates below ...
The impending crisis is that this is occuring at the exact same time that the US must issue $2 trillion in new debt to finance Washington’s massive budget deficit.
Fewer and fewer investors are willing to lend us money for any long period of time. Indeed, the US Treasury’s own data shows that foreign governments have actually begun selling our debt:
"Foreign holdings of dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities, including Treasury bills, and other custody liabilities decreased $43.9 billion. Foreign holdings of Treasury bills decreased $38.3 billion."
-Treasury International Capital (TIC) Data for October, 2009
We have to come up with a whole lot more money at the exact same time that fewer folks want to lend to us.
And That's What's Got The Government
So Afraid ... That They're Trying To
Prevent A New Electronic Run on the Banks!
You see, 2010 is set to be a truly "interesting" year as a result of the upcoming explosion in US Treasury debt issuance.
Who's going to buy it all?
- The Chinese are looking to invest internally and have already said that they're looking to diversify away from their US debt holdings.
- Japan is a deflationary mess and has big problems of its own.
- The UK is experiencing yet even bigger problems and aren't about to be buying large quantities of US government debt in the foreseeable future.
That doesn't leave a whole lot of sales prospects in the room. And the Fed's other options are bad, worse and unspeakable.
Here's what they could do ...
- More Quantitative Easing: Printing the necessary dollars to monetize all that added debt is going to crush the dollar and might trigger existing debt holders (China, Japan, the UK, Euro-land) into simply giving up and dumping what they have for whatever they can get.
Your dollars will devalue in a hurry and the cost of imported goods will climb rapidly. - Hike Up Interest Rates: This would collapse a lot of mortgage holders who are already just barely hanging on. Plus it would most likely spark runaway inflation almost overnight, and create even more problems than Option 1. Just think about it ...
Would you be happy about carting around a shoebox of near-worthless dollars just to buy lunch? - Collapse The Stock Market: At the moment, many people are in equities because of the perception that the government won't let the market fall. So where would they flee if stocks dropped 30% or more? Most likely right into the "safety" of U.S. Treasury debt -- how convenient! -- but not before taking a massive loss on their stocks.
How would you feel about a 30% (and probably larger) haircut on your stock portfolio?
These are the 3 imminent crises I warned you about at the top of this page, and at least one of them's going to happen very soon.
If you're not concerned yet ... here's what historical hyperinflations have looked like (Source: "On the Measurement of Zimbabwe’s Hyperinflation." Cato Journal, Vol. 29, No. 2 (Spring/Summer 2009).
Either Option 1 or Option 2 from the list above could spark a catastrophe like any of these ...
| Country | Month with Highest Inflation Rate |
Highest Monthly Inflation Rate |
Equivalent Daily Inflation Rate |
Time Required For Prices To Double |
| Hungary | July 1946 | 4.19 x 1016% | 207% | 15.0 hours |
| Zimbabwe | mid-Nov 2008 | 7.96 x 1010% | 98.0% | 24.7 hours |
| Yugoslavia | Jan 1994 | 3.13 x 108% | 64.6% | 1.4 days |
| Germany | Oct 1923 | 29,500% | 20.9% | 3.7 days |
| Greece | Oct 1944 | 13,800% | 17.9% | 4.3 days |
| China | May 1949 | 2,178% | 11.0% | 6.7 days |
And what else will happen if Option 2 is used and the Fed jacks up interest rates?
Right now the combined percentage of those in foreclosure and/or behind on mortgage payments is a staggering 14.41%. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association in a recent press release, that's the worst performance since records began in 1972.
How many more will go under if and when their payments increase?
But it gets worse ... because there's a relentless tsunami of adjustable-rate mortgage re-sets this year too.
There's serious doubts about the survival of many of these mortgages even without an interest rate hike!
And for the sake of completeness, here's a good 'recent history' preview of what Option 3 will wreak upon the stock market ...

I've personally researched and analyzed over 1,000 companies worldwide after beginning my career as a research analyst at one of the largest financial research firms in Baltimore, MD.

I've since worked as a ...

- CEO, and
- Corporate Consultant
... with an intense understanding of larger economic trends and capital flows.
I've even presented business and finance ideas to audiences in Aspen, Playa Del Carmen, Dubai, Zurich, and elsewhere.

I Predicted The Investment Banking Collapse
As Well As The 2008 Stock Market Crash
Months Before Both Occurred
In fact ... in 2008, I warned my subscribers to get out of the long side of the market a full 3 weeks before the October-November nightmare began.
Instead we were prepared for profits with highly-targeted shorts while everyone around us saw their portfolios sliced by a third.
Then, when the market bottomed out ...
Anyone who had followed my '2008 crash' trades collected double and triple digit gains in the final months of 2008.
And of course 2010 is shaping up to be just as bad -- if not worse -- than 2008.
That might sound scary, but market chaos can be enormously profitable with the right strategy.
I beat the S&P 500 by 44% in 2008 and I can demonstrate that there’s a stable and even prosperous future ahead of you if you’re willing to do 2 things:
Make money by going long or short as needed, and
Listen to honest, transparent advice you won't find anywhere else
Here's How To Create Real Wealth
One Carefully-Considered Step At A Time
Worrying does nothing for your financial or emotional health. And getting angry at Wall Street (or the government) might make you feel good for 15 minutes, but it doesn't put any dollars in your account.
Instead, you can successfully beat the market by doing your due diligence, forming a thesis, and standing by that thesis unless the facts prove you wrong.
I’ve used these winning tactics to recommend proven gains including:
- 98% with the UltraShort Financials ProShares (SKF)
- 54% with Redback Mining (RBI.TO)
- 47% with Iamgold (IAG)
- 35% with Powershares DB Base Metals (BDD) and
- 17% and 19% with the Gold Miners ETF (GDX)
You'll notice that I have a fondness for Ultrashort ETFs as well as more traditional ETFs and also individual stocks.
There's a good reason for that: when I see something that’s destined for a fall, I tell you how to profit from it. Sometimes an individual company is in trouble. Sometimes it’s an entire sector.
And I'm not married to any one investment strategy, either.
If it's time to go short, we go short.
If it's time to buy gold, we buy gold.
If it's time to buy tech stocks or agricultural stocks, we do that too.
If it's time to short bonds, well ... you can guess what I recommend.
The name of the game in today's market is to be flexible so we can be protected from the smoke and mirrors thrown up by Wall Street, the mainstream media and of course the government too.
Then we can capitalize on reality, not what they claim is reality.
After all, the changes that will occur in the US (and the world) within the next 12-36 months will be of epic proportions and will be unlike anything we’ve seen before.
You absolutely MUST prepare in advance for what will likely be a horrific period in the US’s history.

There simply isn't another newsletter in the financial sector that provides such clear, concise and informative content for less than 50 cents a day.
Start protecting yourself from the upcoming stock crash right now.
The alternative is that you can continue as you are: feeling suspicious that things aren't right, unsure what to believe, and maybe even lying awake at night worrying about what could happen to your portfolio in this ongoing economic disaster.
After all, year over year real employment, real industrial orders, real housing starts, and real retail sales are all posting their largest drops since the production shutdown following WWII.
(The last time the US economy fell this hard this fast, we were intentionally shutting down the juggernaut that was the US war machine in WWII.)
This Is No Recession
We're already on our way to a Depression (a GDP contraction of 10%) and possibly even another Great Depression.
So I don't buy the "green shoots" theory at all.
Having things get horrendous at a slightly slower rate is not a sign of a recovery. Green shoots can pop up anywhere including the asphalt in the parking lot outside my office. That doesn't mean the parking lot is about to become a lush meadow!
No, the US is heading for a really, really rough time.
- The US monetary base doubled in the last year.
- We owe $65 trillion in liabilities.
- The US government could tax every company and every American 100% of their annual incomes and still not pay everything off.
Typically when a bubble bursts it takes 10+ years, possibly an entire generation, before the assets that participated in the Bubble return to new highs (sometimes they never do).
But I can give you risk-free peace of mind for less than 50 cents a day.
Please do act now to give yourself the maximum time to prepare for what is certain to be a very bumpy year ahead.
The sooner you act, the sooner you'll feel at ease about your hard-won assets. Bear markets and currency gyrations destroy wealth faster than bull markets create it, and you do not want to see your future wash away in a sea of red ink this year!
