Amended Taxes for Service Connected Disabled Veterans

Hotep (Peace & Blessings) G&G Readers,

If you are a member or former member of the uniformed services of the United States (as defined in 37 U.S.C. 101(3)) who has made an election under Subchapter I of Chapter 73 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code (also referred to in this section as the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection Plan (10 U.S.C.1431)) to receive a reduced amount of retired or retainer pay, gross income shall include the amount of any reduction made in his retired or retainer pay then you may be able to take advantage of this tax deduction. The Regulation of the tax code I'm referencing is 26 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Section 1.122-1.

Ok… so what does all this mean? Let me break it down to you in pilot terms or better yet give it to you from the 20,000 ft. view. If you retired from the military with 20 years or greater time in service "AND" you are a disabled veteran rated 90 percent or less then you possibly may be eligible to use this regulation to amend your taxes with the IRS and get back a sizeable refund. This tax break would apply to your Federal and State tax returns.

Now, this rule has been in place for years but if you don't claim what's rightfully yours, then sometimes what you don't know can actually hurt you or at least your pockets.

Unfortunately, the IRS only lets you go back 3 years to amend your taxes. So, you could possibly miss out on claiming a refund lawfully yours if you procrastinate and do not take advantage of this tax break you could literally be letting thousands of dollars go down the drain.

If you'd like to have your taxes amended (Federal and State) and possibly receive a refund, please get in contact with me ASAP and I'll tell you what I need to see if you are eligible to take advantage of this deduction.

Click on the link below to review 26 CFR 1-122.1 so you can hopefully gain a better understanding of this benefit.

Please pass this information along to other service connected disabled veterans so that they can be made aware of this great tax benefit.

Fed Chairman has spoken … More (Fiat) money to come!

Fed Chairman has spoken … More (Fiat) money to come!

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

I read the Federal Reserve Open Market committee's quarterly statement today, and watched the first-ever press conference held by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke...

It was business as usual. The Fed will keep interest rates low, which plays right into our GGIS Strategy and Private Equity Dividend strategies: Low interest rates make borrowing costs low for these firms.

A SHORT JOKE … “We will never embrace a strategy of trying to weaken our currency to try to gain economic advantage," Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said yesterday at an appearance at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York.

And the punch line… a one-year chart of the U.S. dollar…

** Edification, go to: www.stockcharts.com , type in the search engine “$USD” and choose a 1 year chart. Then tell me if you think he is telling the truth or is it a joke.

I learned a long time ago, “Liars can figure, but figures don’t lie, the key is can you figure out if he/she is lying or not.”

Private equity Dividend firms take advantage of the spread between low borrowing costs and higher return on investment from mortgage bonds and private equity investments. So my advice to GGIS Subscribers on “XXXX” Investment remains the same.

*** Sign up to become a GGIS Reader and you’ll get the inside scoop on what stock I’m referencing.”

I saw no indication of what the Fed will do after it stops buying Treasury bonds on June 30. What happens after that is still anybody's guess. I'll send out an update the minute I know more.

Yesterday's press release also said the Fed will continue the $600 billion buying program through June 30. Bernanke said the Fed will eventually stop reinvesting the proceeds of maturing mortgage bonds... But that doesn't mean much to me, because the Fed can still print as much money as it wants. I see the Fed the way I always have, as an inflationary force smart investors can learn to take advantage of.

------------------------------------------------

Geithner's comments are more of the same… Just as Bernanke's comments at the Fed meeting were. But why anyone listens to these liars anymore I don't know. I've yet to hear one truthful comment from a high-ranking government official regarding our economy. And as the $USD Index chart suggests… if they're not actually "trying to weaken the currency," they're just plain incompetent.

While lying about the government's actions regarding our currency, Geithner is also busy creating a solution in case the government doesn't vote to raise the debt ceiling. (We should hit our $14.3 trillion debt limit in a few weeks.) No. 1 in Geithner's arsenal (according to this Washington Post article) is taking money from federal pension funds. This is a non-issue. Whatever money Geithner pillages, it's all coming from the same pool – our tax dollars.

Washington Post article: (click link)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/treasury-quietly-plans-for-failure-to-raise-debt-ceiling/2011/04/21/AFmo5PtE_story.html?hpid=z1

If Geithner is forced to steal money from pension funds, it will be a blatant admission our country is broke. It would be as good as a default in the eyes of our citizens and, more important, our creditors. We all know what will happen when we hit our current ceiling… The left and right will hem and haw, then eventually raise the ceiling.

If you haven’t seen the GGIS Special “URGENT RETIREMENT REPORT,” I sent out March 2010 where I told subscribers to protect their retirement funds because the boys and gals in DC were going to be coming after them soon. Make sure you visit the GGIS private member website and download the report to see exactly what I’m talking about. (Sign up to become a GGIS Subscriber to gain access)

Bottom line: As I've explained many times… the U.S. government is now in a "one way out" situation in regards to its debt and unfunded obligations. It has made incredible promises to hundreds of millions of people. There is no political will to stop making these promises. After all, making empty promises is how politicians "advance" in life. It has borrowed trillions of dollars from foreigners. The only way out of the mess is to pay back the debts and obligations with devalued money… to pick your pocket a tiny bit each day.

Gold and silver were both up yesterday – to $1,513 and $45.66, respectively – in anticipation of Bernanke's comments. It's like Pavlov's dog in the commodities markets. When Bernanke opens his mouth, precious metals rally.

Make a choice to today to exercise that option. You can start to learn how to insulate your financial portfolio.

If you need a one-on-one consultation to learn how to implement these investments or any other on the GGIS portfolio, feel free to contact me to setup an appointment.

Until the next time!

Will display ads on my car eliminate commuting?

Imhotep (Wisdom to You) G&G Readers,

I get this question about once every two or three months:

Question: Will the advertising wrap I just put on my vehicle eliminate my commuting to the office?

You've seen these vehicles. They look like moving billboards on steroids.

If one of these advertising wrapped vehicles is parked in the grocery store parking lot, you may want to, but you can't miss it.

So the question is: If you have your vehicle wrapped to advertise your business, will the wrapping eliminate that personal mileage known as commuting?
See below for the answer:

ANSWER: NO!

In 1984, 27 years ago, lawmakers enacted the original set of punishment rules for business autos that

1. included the luxury auto depreciation limits;
2. required a mileage log; and
3. destroyed the moving billboard (advertising display on the vehicle) from otherwise eliminating commuting.

The IRS states the "no-moving-billboard" rule as follows: "Putting display material that advertises your business on your car does not change the use of your car from personal use to business use."

The Easiest Way I Know to Get Started in Foreign Currencies

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

I find most investors have no understanding of the Foreign Exchange currency market and how large and powerful it really is...

They believe the currency market is an elite market that's completely out of reach for the normal investor. Truthfully, they couldn't be more wrong. There are plenty of easy ways to jumpstart your trading in this misunderstood, often overlooked market. But, as long as you keep giving your money to someone to invest for you … you'll stay clueless.
In particular, I have one extremely simple way to know what's going on in foreign currencies. I'm talking about the commodities market.

The commodity market gives me a "real time" look at what's happening in the global economy – about three months in advance. Commodity prices will rise first, and then data in certain economies will reflect that rise in the upcoming quarter or two.

However, I like getting the "heads up" as quickly as I can. It helps me a lot in my currency trading. Even better, certain currencies closely track commodity prices. That can give you a unique edge when you're just starting out in currency investing.


How to Use the Commodity Bull Market to Your Advantage!

Now why in the world would some currencies track commodities anyway? It's because several of these major economies are commodity-exporting nations, like Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

These countries mine and farm certain commodities to export them. Their production costs stay fairly stable overall, so their commodity exports generally cost the same amount to produce. However, when commodity prices rally, their profit margins widen and their overall earnings increase. This hands a huge windfall to commodity-exporting nations.
Therefore, in one sense, you will know how these three particular economies are faring based on which direction their commodity exports are heading. If their economies are booming, that's great news for the currencies in this region too.

Ahh…keep talking Shemsu {Master; Wise One} … :o)

Right now we have a perfect example of this commodity-currency relationship in the Canadian dollar…


My #1 Commodity Currency to Buy This Year along with the Turkish Lira


It's no secret that I love the Canadian dollar this year – but it's hard not to when oil prices are rallying above $110 a barrel.

Canada is a huge oil exporter, not just to the U.S., but the rest of the world. So when oil prices are high, Canada makes money hand over fist. As a direct result, the Canadian dollar has a field day. $$$$$$$

However, when oil prices head lower, Canada's economy takes it on the chin and so does their currency. In fact, just to show you what I mean, click the link below. This shows oil, the Canadian dollar, and another Canadian export, lumber.

Debt Gone Wild!!!

Debt Gone Wild!!!

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

In my never-ending attempt to bring to light the glaring problems of our ever increasing deficit, I do tons of reading and research to show you the mess we're in, and why it is such a good idea to diversify and allocate a portion of your investment portfolio outside of the dollar.

----------------------------------
** SIDENOTE: Oh…should I mention "Gold & Silver" hit all time highs this week. Never mind that I've been telling readers since Feb 2007 to purchase these two commodities. Well, it's still not too late. Stand-by for my report this weekend I'll be releasing to G&G Investment Society (GGIS) members my next long term 1000% investment pick. If you aren't a GGIS member, you better sign up today so you don't miss out on this one as well.
----------------------------------

I came across the breakdown you are about to read below and thought it was a good illustration of the problem we have in this country with financing our deficit spending.
(What appears below is from Jeff Berwick at dollarvigilante.com).

Remember, if you want the truth about America's financial state, you must go outside America and look at it from the eyes of those financing our debt to get the truth. I surely hope you don't think you will get the truth from CNN and FOX. Hint…Hint…check out the spin they put out right after the S&P said they were going to downgrade the US Dollar.

The definition of insolvency is having liabilities or debts in excess of their assets and being unable to service payments on the debt with existing income. The U.S. Government certainly qualifies in terms of having much more debt than assets. As for being able to service the debt, the time when they cannot is now drawing near.

------------------------------------------------

The U.S. government released their "official " numbers for 2010 recently and so we can update our chart of total U.S. government dent as calculated by GAAP ( Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)- the same accounting principles to which all U.S. companies must comply.

Total GAAP federal obligations rose to $76.3 trillion in 2010, up an astonishing $ 5.8 trillion since 2009. That is an increase of federal debt of $18,709 for every man, women and child in the U.S. in one year.

Versus liabilities, the U.S. government, on its own balance sheet, records assets of $2.667 trillion.

That's quite a glaring disparity. What are the chances they can make it up on income (taxes)? Zero. {pay attention here…}

Here is the 2010 income for the United States government:
• $1.061 trillion - Individual income taxes
• $940 billion – Social Security and other payroll tax
• $222 billion – Corporation income taxes
• $77 billion – Excise taxes
• 23 billion – Customs duties
• $20 billion – Estates and gift taxes
• $22 billion – Deposits of earnings
• $16 billion - Other

Note that they include Social Security payroll tax as "income". This is highly "fraudulent." Theoretically, these payments are supposed to be held and/or invested on behalf of the payee. But the U.S. government just includes it as revenue and immediately spends it (which is why, under GAAP, the U.S. now has such a massive unfunded liability).

So, if the $940 billion in Social Security payments are, rightfully, taken out of "revenue", then the actual income of the U.S. government was $1.44 trillion in 2010.

Mandatory Spending: $2.184 trillion
• $677.95 billion – Social Security
• $571 billion – Other mandatory programs
• $453 billion – Medicare
• $290 billion – Medicaid
• $164 billion – Interest on national debt
• $11 billion – Potential disasters costs

Non -Mandatory Spending: $ 1.368 trillion
• $663.7 billion – Department of Defense (including Overseas Contingency Operations)
• $78.7 billion – Department of Health and Human Services
• $72.5 billion – Department of Transportation
• $52.5 billion – Department of Veterans Affairs
• $51.7 billion – Department of State And Other International Programs
• $47.5 billion – Department of Education
• $42.7 billion – Department of Homeland Security
• $26.3 billion – Department of Energy
• $26.0 billion – Department of Agriculture
• $23.9 billion -- Department of Justice
• $18.7 billion – National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• $13.8 billion – Department of Labor
• $13.3 billion – Department of Treasury
• $12.0 billion – Department of Interior
• $10.5 billion – Environmental Protection Agency
• $9.7 billion – Social Security Administration
• $7.0 billion – National Science Foundation
• $5.1 billion Corps of Engineers
• $5.0 billion – National Infrastructure Bank
• $1.1 billion – Corporation for National and Community Service
• $0.7 billion – Small Business Administration
• $0.6 billion – General Services Administration
• $19.8 billion – Other Agencies
• $105 billion – Other

The numbers are pretty simple. The U.S. government had total real tax receipts of $1.44 trillion in 2010. This only pays for 66% of the Mandatory Spending, even if you got rid of 100% of the "Non-Mandatory" spending.

In other words, in order to balance the, the government would have to cut 100% of Discretionary Spending and 34% of Mandatory spending by 34%. What would that look like?
To do this, they would have to close every military base and lay off every serviceman in Armed Forces, shut down the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security and every other government agency, as well, and cut all Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid spending by 34%.

And that is just balance the government deficit. To actually start to pay off the government debt that they would have to cut 100% of the government and 100% of all Social Security and Medicaid spending.

To summarize, in order for the U.S. government to even have any chance of paying off any of it debts, it would have to completely disappear!

And even that doesn't take into account the possibility of greatly increasing interest expense. In 2010, the U.S. government paid $414 billion in interest expense. But that was at historically low interest rates. Considering the U.S. had approximately $13 trillion in "official" debt in 2010, which implies a 3.1% interest rate. At what interest rates interest payments on current debt outstrip total current government revenue (minus social security taxes) of $1.44 trillion? 11.1%.

Well, that's an ugly picture any way you want to look at it. If you were an investor, would you invest in a company that has a balance sheet like this? Whether you realize it or not, I guarantee 95% of you reading this newsletter are and don't even know it. You have other options:

Make a choice to today to exercise that option. You can start to learn how to insulate your financial portfolio to protect yourself from the dollars ultimate decline.

U.S. Inflation hits 10% … You are About to Get Robbed

U.S. Inflation hits 10% … You are About to Get Robbed

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

According to CNBC, inflation is running at a white-hot 10%. At least this is the number they are releasing to the public.

Incredible! Ten cents of every dollar you earn are being taxed away… before you even pay the IRS.

There’s more than one way to get robbed.

A burglar could break into your house or car. Or they could walk up behind you and tell you to “stick ‘em up” (like they do in all my favorite old movies). But the most dangerous thief is one that’s invisible… slowly embezzling your wealth while you are asleep.

And he doesn’t just take your possessions. He destroys your savings. He eats away at your paycheck like a cancer. He causes your family to work longer and harder each year to buy the same basic goods and services.

As you may have guessed, the thief I’m talking about is inflation. And he’s about to go on a crime spree that makes Bonnie and Clyde seem like a pair of girl scouts.


Millions of Americans Will be
Nickel and Dimed to Death

Look… When inflation is considered “tame,” it still robs you 3-4% a year. Most people don’t notice it.

But when it spikes higher to 5%, even 6%… it can quickly spiral out of control. All it takes is a government that is willing to print too much money, and a central bank that doesn’t want to fight inflation soon enough. (Sound familiar?)

And now, it’s happening again.

But for those who see clearly through the chaos, a few assets stand to prosper… including select commodities and currencies.

How to get a triple-digit return on "real money"

The unanswerable question I get about precious metals is... has silver run too far, too fast? Has gold become far too expensive? Is it too late to buy precious metals? Is it time to sell?

There are no "right" answers to these questions. Unlike stocks or bonds, there's no reliable way to judge the intrinsic value of an ounce of metal. The value of gold and silver quite simply depends on the security of the U.S. dollar. In other words, when you talk about valuing gold and silver, you're really evaluating the quality of the world's reserve currency (for now) – the paper (fiat) U.S. dollar.

Judging by the market action in silver and gold today (hitting all-time highs), the dollar has serious problems. The price of silver has gone completely hyperbolic. In only 60 days, silver has gone from the mid-$20s to over $40 per ounce.

There are two explanations. These answers aren't necessarily mutually exclusive – they could both be happening. So let me tell you what I know, what I can prove… and what I believe about silver.

I first recommended silver to investors in the February 2007 issue of my newsletter. I explained why I believed we were in the early stages of an enormous monetary crisis. I explained why the silver ratio was likely to fall – a move that would send silver prices soaring. That's exactly what has happened and that stock I recommended to GGIS subscribers back in 2007 now has profited more than 1200%.

I believe the price of silver is set to explode higher, to well over $100 per ounce. The price will be driven by demand for silver as money, something we haven't seen since the inflationary days of the late 1970s. Yes folks…your dollars didn’t always say Promissory notes; it did use to say silver and gold certificates meaning your dollars were backed by gold and silver.

Believe me; I know how "kooky" this will sound too many people. But… when I look at America's debt load and I witness what's happening right now at the Federal Reserve (which continues to buy 70% of all our new Treasury debt), I don't see any other logical alternative to vastly higher silver prices.

In my mind, the final endgame, where the dollar truly collapses, is unavoidable now. Nevertheless, I recognize this is unthinkable to most people (wake up please). I think it's critical to understand why silver is going up so much and what it means about our money. One newsletter after another, I warned silent and bright eyed readers that the prosperity they believed in – a prosperity made "real" by soaring real estate and stock prices – was only a monetary mirage. Let me show you a great example of what I mean…

You might recall Warren Buffett bought 130 million ounces of silver in 1997 – roughly 37% of the world's supply at the time. It was rumored Buffett sold his stake in 2006, providing supplies to the newly formed silver ETF managed by Barclays. But because Berkshire shipped its silver to London warehouses, where there are no reporting requirements, the truth about Buffett's silver hoard can't be confirmed.

We don't know if Buffett owns silver today or not. But… whether he should own silver or not is, a no brainer. What would you guess has done better since 1997 – silver or the shares of Berkshire Hathaway? The answer… is silver. Almost three (3) times better.
What most people still don't understand is that ALL the prosperity we believed was occurring after the big "tech" bubble of 2000 was nothing more than a lie. It wasn't wealth at all. It was actually debt. And rather than pay these debts back in sound money, our monetary authorities have chosen to debase our currency, by massive amounts.

Why is the Fed doing this? The answer is simple: It's the only way out of the massive obligations we owe. In all, Americans owe over $50 trillion today. Our total debt continues to increase, mostly because of government borrowing. There is no conceivable way to actually repay these debts, so they must be inflated away by printing more and more money.

The question is… how much inflation will the system tolerate before people simply abandon the dollar?

Silver's recent explosion began last summer, with the announcement of the Fed's second round of quantitative easing. Silver is warning the Fed that it has gone too far. Silver is warning that the euro is unlikely to survive a bailout of Spain, which after Portugal, is the next major economy that's likely to fail because it can't pay its debt. Silver is warning us that the Fed won't stop with "QE2" – that it will be forced to continue buying Treasury bonds as the only means to finance our soaring debt load.

Silver is warning us that the day the dollar dies is fast approaching.

But today, you can start to learn how to insulate your financial portfolio to protect yourself from the dollars ultimate decline.

Wealth is what you save.....

Here's another money matters article I found interesting. Remember to give me a call to address your needs in debt reduction, investments, or financial protection ! Seko VArner Team VArner Improvement Services 757-248-3820 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wealth Is What You Save, Not What You Spend by Jennifer Waters Sunday, April 17, 2011 Want to be a millionaire? Don't overspend and use debt wisely. We all may not be millionaires but there are plenty of financial and life-planning secrets we can learn from the well-heeled. Most people know that wealth in the U.S. is in the hands of a small percentage of the total population. And, today, most of those folks with a net worth of $1 million or more have earned it themselves. They're mostly entrepreneurs who create everything from high-speed networks to garbage haulers. They dig ditches and build houses and grow corn and make jewelry. They deal stamps or coins or artwork and control pests and cut lawns. They also cure people and give them new teeth. Others will defend their neighbors or even feed them. And they're not big spenders. In fact, most of those with big bucks live well under their means -- think about Warren Buffett still living in that modest Omaha home -- and they put their money instead toward investments that help them stockpile more wealth. "Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend," according to Thomas Stanley and William Danko, the authors of the seminal tome on America's wealthy "The Millionaire Next Door," first published in 1996. "It is seldom luck or inheritance or advanced degrees or even intelligence that enables people to amass fortunes," the authors wrote. "Wealth is more often the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and, most of all, self discipline." Wealth is defined in many ways, though it's generally determined as the value of everything you own minus debts. But there's a difference between marketable assets -- things you own that could be liquidated rather quickly, like stocks, bonds, real estate -- and possessions like cars, clothing and household items that you use regularly and aren't likely to sell. Income alone does not make one rich. It helps, of course, to build wealth, but the financially independent look to their salaries as a means to an end, which is that pile of cash. "The wealthy don't spend their wealth on discretionary purchases," said Pam Danziger, founder of Unity Marketing, a consumer market-research firm specializing in luxury goods and experiences. "They get rich by maximizing the value of their investments." That doesn't mean they don't pay big bucks for pretty shoes or outfits, but that most choose those items carefully and shop for value and quality. "They truly evaluate the purchase as an investment, not an expense," Danziger said. What they do though is diversify those investments, which gives them more flexibility to ride out difficult times. "The wealthiest clients have very, very diversified portfolios that go way beyond just stocks and bonds into hedge funds, currencies, commodities and emerging markets," said Leslie Lassiter, managing director of the JPMorgan Private Wealth Management. "There are many, many mutual funds out there that will allow you to get exposure to those types of asset classes," Lassiter said. Among the biggest differences between those flush with cash and those wishing they were is in how they pay for things. Millionaires tend to use cash for most of their purchases, including cars, homes and boats. For the average wage earner, of course, that's not always an option but it still holds this lesson: Don't look to debt to fund your lifestyle. Most wealthy people use debt for investment purposes and are careful not to over-leverage themselves. "A prudent use of debt is an appropriate thing for anyone," Lassiter said. They also plan very well and spend a lot of time at it. Many are compulsive savers and investors who often say the journey to riches was far more fun than the reaching the goal. And they're patient, willing to invest in the long term and wait it out. "They stick with their investments and are more likely to have a financial plan," said Sanjiv Mirchandani, president of National Financial, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments. Many take the long-term approach to investing because they're working at being financial independent. When they retire, for example, many will know exactly how much they need to live on, to give away and to leave as a legacy. "The best ones really understand how much liquidity they need to cover their expenses and make sure they have that much cash on hand," Lassiter said. "That's something the average person should do as well." At the same time, she said most are very careful about leveraging debt. "The wealthy tend to balance between the two," she said. Recommendations for accumulating wealth: Live below your means: People with high incomes who spend all that money are not rich; they're just stupid. Plan: That means plan for today, tomorrow and 30 years after retirement. Take time doing it too and spend time monitoring it every day. Use budgets and stick to them. Diversify: As Lassiter said, look for mutual funds that allow you exposure to asset classes that aren't related to each other. Reduce use of credit and turn to cash: It's easier, of course, for a prosperous person to pay for a house in cash than it might be for most folks, but credit-card debt for luxury purchases or extravagant vacations will never pave a road to riches. Have access to cash: While the rich keep much of their wealth invested, they can get cash when they need it. "Have some kind of line of credit available, like a HELOC (home-equity line of credit) that you never use," Lassiter said. "It's a safety valve." She suggests a year's worth of cash to cover expenses; Danziger thinks three years worth is a better bet. Spread cash around: When the wealthy pulled money out of the equities markets two and three years ago, they opened a bevy of bank accounts, all guaranteed up to $250,000 of deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Bring your children into the mix, and remember the importance of estate planning: The affluent can go to great lengths to teach their children about money and how to manage it -- something every family should do. Though talking about money with children consistently ranks as one of the most dreaded conversations, it's important that your heirs know where all the bank accounts and safe-deposit boxes are -- even that their names are on them, too -- who the attorney is, where the will and trusts are filed.

The Writing is on the Wall … Are You Prepared?

The Writing is on the Wall … Are You Prepared?

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

When I turned on the television this morning, "Squawk Box" gave an interesting statistic this morning. They said that this year so far the price of food and fuel has gone up 5.7% but people's income has only gone up 1.3%. What happened to the 3% inflation rate the government told us they are predicting for 2011?

Just look around at what has happened the past couple of months.

Angry protests in Wisconsin made front-page news for several weeks. Similar fights and protests are brewing in Indiana, Ohio, and Kansas, just to name a few. In fact, one political organization organized a rally in EVERY state on a single day in late February.

Around the globe, there have been massive protests, hundreds of deaths, and even the overthrow of several governments.

And here's the thing...

Although few Americans recognize it... As we see it, THIS IS ALL RELATED TO THE VERY SAME CRISIS THAT WILL SOON ERUPT IN FULL FORCE HERE ON U.S. SHORES.

Now, I've been giving G&G Readers warnings about this for months to the toll where some people might think I'm crazy. Please understand this... nothing about what I've stated is radical. I only aim to report what I see and try to help those who want to listen protect their wealth.

I can't sit idly by and watch my customers, friends, family, and colleagues all destroyed by what's going on, especially when there are some very simple steps everyone could take to protect themselves.

UPDATE #1:
Riots and Soaring Prices

As the U.S. dollar continues to lose its position as the world's currency, gas, oil, and other commodities will continue to skyrocket. Almost EVERYTHING we consume will immediately get more expensive. All the clothing, furniture, and household goods we import from China. All the food we get from Central and South America... all the electronics, televisions, computers, and cars we get from Asia and Europe.
And over the past 6 months, that's exactly what has happened. Everything is getting more expensive...

In fact, each week, {fact check} The Wall Street Journal has a section called 'Cash Prices.' It lists dozens of commodities, everything from wool, zinc, tin, and pork... to gold, silver, platinum, and lead.

I recently checked these listing in the paper's March 1st, 2011 edition. And the numbers were mind-boggling... In short, of the 88 prices quoted... 85 items are more expensive today than they were just a year ago... many significantly so.

Oil is up more than 50% from a year ago. Silver is up more than 100%--so is cotton, and coffee. Tin is up 90%. Oats are up more than 70%. So is wheat. Butter is up more than 40%. So is sugar.

Again, of the 88 prices quoted, the only three physical commodities that are cheaper today than they were a year ago... natural gas, eggs, and chickens.

Everything is more expensive! In some cases... MUCH more expensive.

And yet THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO SAY THERE IS NO INFLATION? How is that possible?

** Quote: "Liars can figure but figures don't lie, the key is can you figure if he/she is lying or not."

It's unbelievable to me that they think the American public is going to fall for this. Well, some have…did you?

But the real problem isn't how these price increases will affect us. Here in America if our milk and bread costs go up by 50 cents, it doesn't hurt us as much in the short term.

But in places like the Middle East and Asia, food and fuel often eat up 50% to 75% of a family's income... because wages are so low. Rising commodity prices have HUGE repercussions in these places...

Which is partly why we're seeing riots on a massive scale... social and political unrest... looting and violence in places like Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, and numerous other nations.

And skyrocketing food prices are just the beginning...Gold prices are up as much as 32% since the beginning of 2010. Silver is up more than 140%!

I mean... how high do precious metals prices have to go before the average American realizes how serious this problem is? It can't be because I haven't been warning G&G Readers. Yes…I'm going to say I told you so and have been telling you now for about 4 years.

To me, it's clear that investors would rather hold gold and silver, rather than U.S. dollars.

Anyone with any sense or basic understanding of economics can tell that the U.S. dollar is doomed. And it's going to have major repercussions, which the average American has not yet even considered.

The point is, it's not a matter of "if" the U.S. dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency... it's a process that is already underway.

So, what can you do? Sign up for G&G Investment Societies (GGIS) to learn what you need to do to protect your wealth from the calamity that's about to happen here in the US.


UPDATE #2:
Your Local Gov't Is On the Brink of Default

Back in February, I told you about the dire situation most state and local governments are in. Well, the situation has actually gotten much, much worse...

Here's what I mean:

Meredith Whitney is one of the most respected analysts on Wall Street, went on the CBS news program 60 Minutes, and predicted that:

"You could see 50 sizeable [local government bond] defaults. Fifty to 100 sizeable defaults. More. This will amount to hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of defaults."

And if this happens, it will instantly become much more expensive, if not impossible, for state and local governments to borrow money. Which means thousands of people could lose their jobs, and hundreds of programs could be shut down, overnight.

Whitney added...
"The most alarming thing about the state issue is the level of complacency. It has tentacles as wide as anything I've seen. I think next to housing this is the single most important issue in the United States, and certainly the largest threat to the U.S. economy,".

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, confirmed that this problem is going on all over the country... He told 60 Minutes:

"It's not like you can avoid it forever, 'cause it's here now. And we all know it's here. And the federal government doesn't have the money to paper over it anymore, either, for the states. The day of reckoning has arrived. That's it. And it's gonna arrive everywhere. Timing will vary a little bit, depending upon which state you're in, but it's comin'.

"We spent too much on everything. We spent too much. We spent money we didn't have. We borrowed money just crazily. The credit cards maxed out, and it's over. It's over."

So, G&G Readers it's not just me giving you this warning. I just hope you start listening and start making some moves to protect yourself.

The truly amazing thing is that the U.S. Federal government is in even worse shape than the local governments!

The only reason we haven't seen the full brunt of this crisis yet on the federal level is because we've just continued to pile on more and more debt.

You see … the states can't print money... but the Federal government can (at least for now). And for the moment, this is all that is preventing a currency collapse of unprecedented proportions.

And this is the important point: What most people don't realize is that the U.S. government can only continue printing dollars... as long as the U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency.

In other words, this is all going to fall apart much sooner than people think. In fact, it's already happening... The first steps are already well underway. It is happening right now... before our very eyes.

I can't stress this enough: You need to act now in order to protect your assets, and grow your savings in the next few years. Before I get to that, there's one last thing I want to update you on...


UPDATE #3:
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Speaks

This is probably the most frightening development that has taken place so far. A meeting between some of the world's most powerful countries whose goal was to find a stable and dependable world reserve currency occurred several months ago.

A few weeks ago, a major international organization made a startling announcement: On Thursday February 10th, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a report on a possible replacement for the dollar as the world's reserve currency. CNN reported the story, but many have no clue or even recognize the significance of this event.

The IMF, which is headquartered in Washington, DC, is the intergovernmental organization that oversees the global financial system. They are "THE" most influential financial organization in the world economy.

The IMF has proposed replacing the U.S. dollar with something called "Special Drawing Rights," or SDRs. SDRs represent potential claims on the currencies of IMF members. SDRs were created by the IMF in 1969 and can be converted into any currency, based on a weighted basket of international currencies. When the IMF lends money, it typically does so via SDRs.

The IMF also proposed creating SDR-denominated bonds, which could reduce central banks' dependence on U.S. Treasuries. The IMF also suggested that certain assets, such as oil and gold, which are traded in U.S. dollars, could be priced using SDRs. Let me type this again…" The IMF also suggested that certain assets, such as oil and gold, which are traded in U.S. dollars, could be priced using SDRs."

This is a "HUGE" and an important step to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.

Any government or investor with any sense of finances is looking to get out of the U.S. dollar as quickly and safely as possible. And the IMF is not the only mainstream organization that has come out openly over the past 4 months to validate my claim.

Sam Zell (the 60th richest man in America according to Forbes Magazine, and one of the world's purported best investors), did a rare interview with CNBC.

Here's what he said:
"My single biggest financial concern is the loss of the dollar as the reserve currency. I can't imagine anything more disastrous to our country. I'm hoping against, I hope that ain't gonna happen, but you're already seeing things in the markets that are suggesting that confidence in the dollar is waning. I think you could see a 25% reduction in the standard of living in this country if the US dollar was no longer the world's reserve currency. That's how valuable it is."

Believe me, this is very scary stuff, which not 1 in 1,000 Americans fully understands.
