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.
So Far ... G&G Associates has helped disabled veterans retrieve over $300,000 in tax refunds for this mostly unknown regulation. But, it's only available to those who claim what's rightfully theirs.
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.

The Best Savings Account in the Country
(It's Paying 4.6%)
Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,
For some reasons there are many G&G readers who still have their money sitting in US bank savings accounts losing money or have a hefty portion of their retirement still residing in US based investments.
Well … I've learned you can take a horse to the water but you can't make him/her drink it. So, as an alternative I'm going to give you a freebie this week. This is for those who still like savings accounts … by far your banker surely will not tell you about this type of investment vehicle.
At least if you are going to place your money in a savings account … at least get yourself the highest interest out there. Here goes ....
G&G readers … this country's best savings account is with the federal government.
The government doesn't market this product. And bankers and brokers won't tell you about it because it doesn't generate commissions. Few people know this vehicle even exists.
Quote: "The more you learn the more you earn, the less you know the more you owe."
S. Botkin
I'm hesitant to recommend any government-backed or government-created financial vehicle. The government bungles almost everything it touches. But I assure you, this account is a sound idea. It's currently paying 4.6% per year in interest. That's quadruple what you'd get in a savings account with your local bank.
And it's a near-perfect spot for your savings. Let me explain…

The Treasury calls this product "Series I Savings Bonds."
This is a government-backed savings account. You cannot lose your principal. And your interest rate adjusts for inflation. This is one of the safest investments in existence.
The interest income is also exempt from state and local taxes. You don't have to pay any fees to get started. Unlike regular government bonds that fluctuate in price, you cannot lose money in Series I Savings Bonds, even if the inflation rate turns negative. And, of course, it pays that astonishing 4.6%.
The government uses two factors to determine the interest rate on Series I Savings Bonds. One is a fixed interest rate that they lock in at the time of purchase. Short-term official interest rates (set by the government) determine this rate. Right now, official interest rates are at zero percent.
The second factor they use is the inflation rate. Every May 1 and November 1, the government calculates the inflation rate by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Then they add this rate to your fixed rate of interest for the following six months.
The CPI is currently running at 2.3% – that's a semiannual (six-month) rate. You multiply it by two to get your annual yield of 4.6%. For more info on how they calculate the CPI click below:
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds/res_ibonds_iratesandterms.htm
So, for Series I Savings Bonds issued from May 1 until October 31, the fixed rate is zero percent and the variable rate is 4.6%. Again, that's more than four times what you can get in a savings account at your local bank.
You buy Series I Savings Bonds from the Treasury.
> First … go to Treasurydirect.gov and open an account.
> Next...you'll need to link it to your bank account. Three days later, you'll receive your login information in the mail.
> Finally, you can now buy any Series I Savings Bonds – or any other government security – free of any commissions, holding charges, or transaction costs. Yes … no fees or commissions!
There is some minor "fine print"… The minimum investment is $25. The maximum is $5,000 per year, per Social Security number. Did you catch that per social security number… not per household.
The biggest drawback is that you can't redeem your money in less than 12 months. And you can't hold it for longer than 30 years. If you redeem your money in less than five years, the government will charge you a penalty of three months of interest. (Even so, you'd come out ahead of your local savings account.)
If you are still investing your savings in US banks, I suggest you at least choose this alternative and put as much of your money in this type of an account the government allows.
As always…feel free to pass this information on to anyone you think is interested in increasing their tax & financial IQ.

Quiz for Schedule C Biz Owners
Imhotep (Wisdom to You) G&G Readers,
I thought you might find this quiz to be useful.
Assume that you are one of the almost 4% who is going to have your Schedule C business expenses audited by the IRS.
You had the misfortune of being chosen through random selection (50% of audits are random selections; the other 50% are based on test scores).
The IRS will almost certainly examine two line-item expenses in your Schedule C.
** Question: What two line-item expenses are most vulnerable to a Schedule C audit?

ANSWER:
The two lines that contain the expenses that the IRS is most likely to audit are
• car and truck expenses on line 9, and
• travel, meals, and entertainment on line 24.
The reason the IRS targets these lines is simple: The law requires specific records for these expenses. If you don't have properly kept records, you get no deductions.
With car and truck expenses, you must have a log that proves your business-mile percentage. Regardless of how you deduct your vehicle, you must have a supporting mileage log. If you use the actual expense method, you need the mileage log. If you use the IRS standard mileage rate, you need the mileage log.
In addition to the mileage log, if you are using the actual expense method, you must have a receipt for any car or truck expense of $75 or more.
For travel and meal expenses during the travel, you need both
• receipts for expenses of $75 or more, and
• entries for each business day saying where you were and listing your business reason(s) for being there that day.
For entertainment, including entertainment involving meals, you need to
• record the name or names of the person(s) you entertained,
• record the business reason for the entertainment,
• record the place and type of entertainment, and
• keep receipts for any entertainment that costs $75 or more.
Regardless of the system you use, make sure that you write down, on a timely basis, the answers to the documentation requirements. You may not record this information later. The law requires timely recording, which the IRS says is any time within one week.

The USD is Ready for its Next Major Move
Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,
One month, investors think the U.S. dollar is headed into the toilet and that it'll be worthless in no time.
The next month, they think the opposite. They think the U.S. dollar is the only safe haven out there when everything else in the investment world is headed into the toilet.
Investors thought the world was going to hell in late 2008 and March 2009. So they clamored for dollars… and the dollar hit new highs. Today, with fears about Europe and the euro, investors have clamored for dollars again.
I believe times are about to change for the dollar.

Watch Out Below!
It's time for the dollar to fall again.
The main reason is simple… At the moment, there's nobody left to buy dollars. Anyone who wants the U.S. dollar already has it.
Let me tell you a few ways I track this…
First is "sentiment." In short, when sentiment reaches an extreme, it's time to consider doing the opposite. Right now, investor sentiment surrounding the dollar is about as optimistic as it gets.
Sentiment about the dollar has only been more optimistic than today just three times in the last five years. And in all three instances, it marked a peak in the dollar.
It is possible that sentiment (as measured by Jason Goepfert's www.SentimenTrader.com) could reach a higher level – that the peak in the dollar is not here yet. But we should be close.
While sentiment for the dollar is at a high for this year, sentiment for all the other major currencies (except the yen) versus the U.S. dollar is at lows for the year.
-----
** Side note: Our GGIS Portfolio gave a recommendation back in August to take advantage of this move … and as of this writing it is up 184%.
-----
Each time dollar sentiment got this high, we saw a major short-term peak in the U.S. dollar. The Dollar Index fell dramatically over the following two months.
The story is the same when you look at the actual dollar "commitments of traders"… Large speculators currently have their smallest bets this year on the euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Aussie dollar.
** Sidebar: Some of you reading this have no clue on how other foreign currencies have a big effect on how the Dollar and the US Stock market moves. (See G&G newsletter archive for Sep 23, 2011 issue, "You're Insane If you only invest in the US.)"
Based on the commitments of traders, investors have finally given up on all of these currencies versus the dollar. Based on this, the next move in all these currencies versus the dollar should be up.
The U.S. dollar is not a good value right now… paying no interest. It is widely loved as a safe haven, at the moment. And so far in October, the U.S. Dollar Index is down. So the trend might be starting to confirm the fundamentals.
It's the opposite of the three things I look for in an investment: cheap, hated, and in an uptrend.
With "HISTORY" as my guide, the U.S. dollar index could lose 5%-10% of its value over the next several months.
But what's the best way to bet against the dollar right now? Do you actually want to buy the euro?
Heckkkkkk No! The safest way to bet against the dollar is to own … you guessed it right… gold. When the value of the dollar falls, the value of gold (priced in dollars) goes up. And since silver is gold's stepchild … it wouldn't hurt to buy some of this as well.
I'm seeing my favorite signs line up for a coming fall in the U.S. dollar over the next several months … So trade accordingly.

Gold Coast's Trophy Asset
Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,
They call it the "Golden Stool."
Legend has it that this gold-covered bench descended from the heavens to land in the lap of the first king. Wars have been fought over it. No one is allowed to sit on it... New kings are designated by lowering and raising them over the stool without touching it. Few people have even seen the original. Only the king and a few advisors know where it is kept. Instead, the leaders use replicas in public.
The most sacred relic of the ancient Ashanti Empire, the 18" x 24" x 12" golden seat symbolizes the extraordinary wealth and power gold mines bestowed on this West African tribe.
In the 15th century, Europeans searching for a sea route to India stumbled across this small stretch of land in Africa... For nearly 500 years, up until the mid-20th century, they fought over it as one of the world's great "trophy" assets.

The Portuguese got there first... From 1430 to 1480, Portuguese explorers felt their way south around West Africa. Storms lashed the ships along the treacherous coastline. Simple trips inland for fresh water and food proved fatal.
After one strong storm, a group of sailors observed something remarkable... women and children of the village combing the beaches not for shells, but for grains of gold washed out of the rivers.
Confronted with a river that literally ran with gold... the Portuguese traders took the next logical step: They settled in to get rich. They chose an area between the Ankobra and Volta Rivers. In 1482, they built Fort Sao Jorge da Mina de Ouro (which means Saint George of the Gold Mine).
The Portuguese named their castle after a mine because the area held gold... the richest mines in Africa at the time. The arrival of these Scavengers (Europeans) brought centuries of war over this land and its gold. The British, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Danish, and the Ashanti were among the groups who battled for control of the land... which grew to be known as the "Gold Coast."
It took the Europeans a long, long time to subjugate the Ashanti Empire. Naturally, the Ashanti were partial to keeping their land instead of abandoning it to raiders.
The winner in the battle for the Gold Coast, like many of Africa's richest resources, was the British Empire. The British used the area around the fort as a base to export gold, iron ore, diamonds, and agricultural products.
Despite centuries of production, the Gold Coast's mines are far from exhausted. To this day, this area, now known as Ghana, is one of the greatest gold stories on the planet. This tiny African nation ranks in the top 10 of global gold producers.
In this issue, I'm taking advantage of the recent panic in gold stocks to buy a stake in a small company that controls some of Ghana's greatest gold assets. As you'll see, the centuries-old race for Africa's gold is alive and well...but, you now have a chance to get in on the ride this time if you are a GGIS Subscriber.
Modern Day Gold Coast and Its Gold Mining
Today, Ghana is one of the world's best regions in Africa to explore and mine for gold.
The Behre Dolbear Ranking of Countries for Mining Investment ranks the top 25 countries based on its mining laws and general treatment of mining companies. The report does an excellent job of gauging the political risk of a mining project.
Ghana is ranked 10th in the world. In terms of getting a new project permitted to mine, it ranks second, just behind Australia. That puts Ghana ahead of countries synonymous with mining... like China, Argentina, Indonesia, and South Africa.
Guess where I'm headed next month readers? You guessed it … Ghana! The opportunities there are unlimited and of course you know my love for Africa. So, visiting and learning about the motherland's culture and being able to do business and deduct it, of course is a win-win venture for me.
As for what opportunities, you're better off investing in gold mining in this tiny West African country than we are in most other countries. But the market doesn't understand this... and that's good for us.
Ghana is among the top 10 global gold producers and the top 15 diamond producers in the world by production volume. It ranks second in Africa for gold production and third for aluminum ore (bauxite). Gold mining contributes almost 10% of the country's gross domestic product.
Today, Ghana leans heavily on its mineral industry. It established a progressive mining law in 2006. Mine operators must pay no less than 3% and no more than 6% of gross revenues. The government receives 10% of any mineral discovery... period.
The mining law is clear and simple. The companies know what to expect and the mining industry continues to grow.
