Avoiding a Complete Financial Collapse

The world currently is at a crossroads…

Below are just a few factors that are stressing the global financial system towards a total collapse.

• U.S. Treasury bonds are at record prices even with massively increased new supplies.

• Even with reduced individual participation and declining share volumes the S&P recently came close to its all time highs.

• Thanks to the Fed, interest rates have been exceedingly low for a long time. Several key markets currently have negative interest rates.

• National debts in many countries are continuing to pile up.

• Nations are violently protesting austerity measures, the latest in London.

• Huge national deficits continue skyrocketing upwards.

• Massive central bank commitments to money printing on a global scale.

• International military presence continuing to build up in the Middle East, awaiting a spark from either Syria and or Iran.

While these events and others could bring extreme chaos upon societies and their markets, there are proactive measures that can be used to reduce the shock or fall-out upon the devastation that could come next.

Wealth Preservation –

If you have not yet taken the necessary measures to safe guard it, start now. Be both vigilant and flexible that way you can react quickly to events as they un-fold. Preserving your wealth does not guarantee you safety from further market declines, but rather allows you to save as much as possible compared to other investment classes. While real (hard) assets such as gold, silver, oil, wheat or corn will constantly fluctuate with market volatility in terms of fiat currencies, history provides the truth, that hard assets always are the last and final stores of value when everything else has failed.

Those who are capable of adapting to new political & economical changes will also have the best chances for new opportunities and bright futures as we move forward. However for now, at present, everyone must prepare in advance, because what’s coming could be very unstable times ahead at best.

Cash & Debt Instruments –

These were always safe investment options in the past. Currently however, these investments are slowly fueling the world’s fiat currency system into a total melt-down. While “questionably safe” at present, the final blow to the financial system will come quickly and violently. Swift action must be taken now before the destruction is upon us, preparation is everything. Once everything takes its turn for the worse there will be no more time to react and prepare as time will have run out.

Should economies show signs for a positive turn of events towards these un-known factors letting them prevail, increased interest rates should be seen along with a substantial rally in the stock markets. Artificial perceptions to the truth for world economies would be that an historical global rebound will occur. On a secular basis gold and silver will continue to escalate. It’s possible an initial market pullback will occur, because the general feeling of the masses will believe our fiscal imbalances are on the road to recovery.  That pullback however will be a short-lived, soon thereafter gold & silver will re-bound to the upside.

Economic Collapse – Who is buying Gold?

Here is a great short video I had found on YouTube detailing how the ultra rich are moving their investments out of stocks and into gold.

• Who are these people?
• What’s the driving force behind all this action?
• Why are they privy before anyone else?
• Why now?

Too many questions… Watch the video. Who is Buying Gold?
My favorite comment here was…

“Rich have been buying up metals for awhile they know the Ponzi scheme is about over and whenever paper currency collapse gold and silver becomes currency of choice again but it has always been money so if you want money best to do what the rich do buy metals to insure you have something because paper always goes back to 0”
