....according to this guy. What he says makes a lot of sense. Basically, he says the problem is the US has printed trillions of dollars to cover the bank collapses and other bail-outs that started in 2008. This greatly devalues our currency. The US currency is currently the world standard reserve currency, meaning that all nations have to pay for imported goods using US dollars. This guy claims we are on the verge of the US currency losing the status of the
world standard reserve currency due to the devaluation of the dollar from our treasury just printing trillions of dollars. The US can only continue to print money and get away with it as long as the US currency remains the world standard reserve currency. He says once US currency loses the status of the world standard reserve currency , we will see gas prices and all commodities double almost overnight. We will see hyper inflation and 30+% unemployment.

Pretty scary stuff. Check out the video where he goes into detail to explain his predictions.

BTW...I heard about this guy on Rush Limbaugh today and checked out the link.

You say these articles didn't pan out, but they were just printed before their time.  You might need to wait a little longer.  I'm not going to say how long.

Have you been listening to KLBJ? I have heard these commercials for the last couple of weeks and I have been meaning to post a thread about www.endofamerica20.com and www.endofamerica39.com which all lead to this Stansberry guy's page.

i got turned off by two aspects of his pitch.

1) graph of chinese treasury bill holdings going down, supposedly showing chinese are dumping overall treasury holdings and the dollar.  it's just flat wrong.  they've been ditching t-bills but have been buying coupons (short term bills are issued at a discount, regular bonds pay a coupon), and overall u.s.gov't bond holdings by china have been going up sequentially.

2) gas prices around the world and how the rest of the world is paying more than americans are.  well, guess what, it's because of taxes, silly.  

annoying pitch notwithstanding ... he may have some insights in some interesting resource plays, although i have ta tell ya, the commodity trade is a little tired and we might see some downside volatility.

Ever wonder just why the Dems aren't afraid of a monstrous debt?  Are they stupid?  Do they know something we don't?  Are they planning on defaulting?  Do they believe China will prop us up forever?

Nope....he provides free advice:

1. Food and water to last for 6 months
2. Invest in precious metals and non US Dollar investments.
-Get your money/investments beyond reach of the US Govt (desperate govts do desperate things - you can legally invest out of the US)
-Buy as much gold and silver as you can afford (he predicts $6000 an ounce for gold in the next few years - he says silver is extremely undervalued right now)


Just watch the video.

Dude, that's a bad sign, LOL.

If US dollars are so damned worthless what does he want with them. Why not take a few chickens and a pound of sugar?


Not to say that there isn't a grain of salt to what he's saying, just seems a bit hypocritical to me.

Food and Water to last for 6 months? I have 4 people in my family. I'd have to buy another house to store all that for my family. If things get bad enough that my emergency supply storage isn't enough- then things are bad and I'm going out to take what I need- because then it will move out of using emergency stash and into to survival mode. At that point society will be in ruins anyways

Well, I did all that stuff at the end of 08 when the Dark Lord rose to power.

It might be too late to buy gold now........but it is certainly not too late to move your 401(k) to foreign stocks.
