1. The next phase of problems will come about because of a loss of confidence in currencies themselves.

2. Regulators are totally ineffectual in dealing with what is occurring.

3. If we have a failure of Greek debt it will be catastrophic and you and I will pay. If Greece does not fail, we will have money printing (quantitative easing is the buzz word) to infinity.

4. China is actively seeking control of the resources of the world.

5. To balance the US balance sheet, gold would have to go to insane numbers. The mechanism is in place to drive gold to incredible numbers.

6. Sovereign debt is the next bomb to implode.

7. The only currency that will sustain what is coming is gold.

8. We are headed for a one world currency with a central bank of central banks. The world is going to change dramatically.

9. The individual states in the US, which are bankrupt in many cases, will be attacked next. Big money is already hugely short of state debt. Ultimately this will take down the US dollar as well.

10. A one world government is coming.

11. Hyperinflation is a loss of confidence in paper currency.

12. Gold is money without liability on the other side. It stands alone. Make your balance sheet as good as it can be.

13. Gold is an insurance policy.

14. Focus on simplicity in your personal life. Be focused, balanced, and go back to basics. This is not a time to get fancy.

15. Hold any stocks you happen to own in certificate form in your hand, and don’t lose the certificate. If you are a stock player, check out true custodial accounts. Make certain that your holdings are in fact yours and NOT on the books of the bank.  Direct registration is an alternative.

16. Expect mining company consolidations to greatly accelerate.

The Federal Reserve Bank has provided us a roadmap for gold to move to $2,100 and $4,500 and it isn’t that far off.  The global debt problem is as big now as it was in 2008.  If a default is declared that affects the credit default swaps, five major U.S. banks will go under as well as three Euroland banks.  This is why those in power are trying to avoid the legal trigger of “Default”.  We are extremely close to the  edge of financial mass destruction.  In an election year, do you think that the Fed will simply hold back printing of money?

The Federal Reserve committed to low interest rates through 2014.  What was the impact?

My Yahoo Finance tracking screen went green:

UXG was up 12.45% in one day.  for those who recently bought the stock at 2.99 in mid December.

Wealth brings with it a great challenge.  The ego especially feeds on greed whereas greed is the root of all evil.  Hoarding is the ugly sister to greed.  When people find their value of identity in possessions the outworking is to get more and more.  What you have is never enough.  Consider all of the offsite storage buildings in the U.S.  Many are full of possessions that are slowly deteriorating.  Don’t get me wrong, the size of your house, car, or bank account does not mean that you are greedy.  Each of us has a ministry that requires different assets to fulfill.  We all don’t need to be driving a Smartcar to show we are not being led by greed.  We are also to be good stewards over what we have been given.  Lack of stewardship isn’t a good testimony to those who are watching your walk while you are “talking your talk”.  In Luke 18:22 Jesus said:

So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

What an unpopular thing to say in America, the wealthiest country on earth.  This affluent society has elevated itself to the point where it no longer needs GOD in the center of its society.  The children no longer recite The Lord’s Prayer in school.  Since this happened, the discipline problems in schools have risen exponentially.  Those children, now adults, are no longer restrained in their behavior.  Corporate greed is at an astronomical high.  The loyalty to the employee is all but gone.  Defined benefit plans designed to reward long term service by employees have been disemboweled by corporate greed.  Politicians bought off by lobbyists have thrown the average man and woman under the bus.  The moral fiber of this country is in dire straits but not for long.

This year I expect an awakening of men and women who are called to be the “elect”.   I expect this awakening to bring forth a new paradigm of business thinking.  Many in the past have given lip service to serving mankind.  As this awakening materializes into a Kingdom structure. men and women will be given the opportunity to be a part of this new paradigm.  No longer will greed and self interest dictate the direction of an organization.  Kingdom principles resulting from the revelation of Love will be the guiding force.  Serving mankind will be the burning desire in the bellies of the people who are called to participate in Kingdom companies.  Accumulated wealth will be mobilized as men and women see that their calling is being summoned by the Most High God.  Dysfunction of the masses will no longer be exploited by those who have been in power by exploitation.

As the Body of Christ is fitly joined together, each part will truly supply the other parts… really!

In 1978, the total debt in the U.S. was $719 Billion.  Today it is $56 Trillion. This is a 77X increase.  How much more debt can we handle?  Hyperinflation is moving closer and it will be a time of great change.  We must muster up the courage to face change.  Having faith in Our Heavenly Father will see us through any upheaval before us.  If we think outside the box.  We can soar to new heights just as Jetman in the video below:

In these days of leverage, any interruption in the flow of cash can be disastrous.  Often, your bank’s signature card will include a statement whereby they have 30 days to respond to a cash withdrawal request.  Though they rarely exercise this stipulation, it does exist.  What would happen if you could not get to your cash for thirty days?  Selah!

MF Global claims the JP Morgan Chase slowed down their cash which helped move them into bankruptcy.  See http://finance.yahoo.com/news/mf-global-jpmorgan-again-center-002846254.html 

The strong get stronger, the weak fall by the wayside.  Be careful with your assets.

From the Securities Investor Protection Corporation website, http://www.sipc.org/pdf/HSPY_English_2011.pdf :

“Terms of SIPC help. Customers of a failed brokerage firm get back all securities (such as stocks and bonds) that already are registered in their name or are in the process of being registered.”

Securities registered in the “Street Name” of the brokerage do not appeared to be covered.  Beware!  Do not delay or fail to insure your stocks are placed in your name.  If a large scale financial event were to happen, the reserve funds of the SIPC could be depleted and you would be at risk of notable losses.

The MF Global disaster emphasized the need for investors to go to any means to protect their wealth.  Stockbrokerage firms do not want to facilitate any move to the issuance of physical stock certificates.  When you buy stocks, the stockbroker generally puts the stock in their “street name” rather than yours.  This makes it easy for them and is not designed to be for your best interest unless you are a trader and hold the stock for a short period of time.  If you are planning to hold your stocks for an extended period of time, you may want to consider Direct Registration.

I recently contacted my local Scottrade office and told them I wanted to transfer most of my stocks in the account to Direct Registration.  This is a service of the Stock  Transfer Company that handles the issuance of stock  for the publicly traded company.  I completed the paperwork for each stock I wanted transferred and all but one were moved to a newly established DRS account where I am the stockholder of record, not the stockbroker’s “street name”.  Now that I am recognized by the Stock Transfer Agent, I could have them issue paper certificates if I desire.  This action removes the inherent risk of some unexpected event occurring with the stockbrokerage firm that could put your assets held with them at risk.  It is amazing what we must do to protect ourselves these days!

By the way, a smaller Canadian-based transfer agent was evidently not set up to handle Direct Registration so that particular stock is still sitting in my brokerage account.  The rest transferred without issue and I have received the confirmations in the mail.

War with Iran may now be imminent.  China is extremely dependent of Iran for oil.  The price of oil could hit $200 if the markets get spooked and the U.S. would make sure that the Chinese oil imports continue, even if from Saudi Arabia.  I expect this war to be mainly accomplished through the air and the sea as well as cyber-war and economic sanctions.   When the sanctions hit the Iranian Central Bank, the Iranian currency dropped by 30% in the last few weeks thus bringing on hyperinflation.  Gold could hit $2,100 and silver above $50 as investors make a flight of safety.  You know when the Secretary of Defense along with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs make the Sunday morning news magazine circuit, the plan has been set in motion.
