The current situation in the junior mining stock sector reminds me of times when I enjoyed surfing as a young man.

While there were moments of shear exhilaration as the waves would suddenly come alive, there were also moments of monotonous boredom, waiting for the next big set of waves to arrive. In the process, the number of surfers in the water would dramatically change with the circumstances.

The parallels between surfing and investing in junior mining stocks at the moment seem applicable. We are definitely in the boring, monotonous phase where many investors get tossed off this bull’s back.

It was always fun, however, to be in the water or near the beach (market) when the waves suddenly kicked back into gear. Many times those who waited patiently got the greatest reward and enjoyed the best surfing (market action) with the least amount of surfers (investors). As the crowd of surfers/investors who were not near the water (market) would get word that the surf was up and head for the beach, the best action had already passed.

For now, we are just bobbing up and down with the gently rolling swells and positioning ourselves for the next big wave. The wave action is very volatile and can change very quickly just as our commodity and junior resource stocks have recently shown. But one thing is clear in my mind, the next big set of waves are on their way!

Bullish Outlook for Precious Metals and Junior Miners

The market is building a foundation for the next major wave higher in both the precious metals and junior mining stocks. Things may remain quiet with the junior sector for the balance of the summer, but I believe we are seeing the spot prices solidify because the fundamentals for this super bull market are not only alive and well but getting better by the week. Just look at the facts...

The U.S. dollar is in a major bear market, the US Government debt levels are completely unsustainable, and the geopolitical front looks tenuous at best.

On top of that, demand for gold is very strong. It’s being sought as a monetary asset, and as more central banks of the world add gold to their reserves. This trend will continue to grow.

Identifiable investment demand for gold was up almost 250% during the first quarter of this year, compared to the first quarter of 2008.

Meanwhile, gold supply is not increasing but looks very stagnant. Mining companies cut exploration and development budgets as a result of the global recession, which has now put them behind the supply/demand curve. And it always takes a long time to bring new supply to the market.

Overall, gold mine production was only up 3% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period last year. And demand is expected to outstrip supply for at least another five years, probably longer. These factors will push gold up for years to come.

We continue to bob in the swells looking for value and exercise patience knowing that the next big wave for the precious metals and junior mining stocks will soon be on its way!

P.S. I recently uncovered a tiny $0.26 junior exploration stock that owns one of the best gold finds I've seen in the past decade-plus... one that holds massive upside profit potential. This unknown gold company controls a large area in a mineral rich region that has produced over 160 million ounces of gold in the past several years. To learn more about this play — and its insanely profitable potential — just follow this link.

Gold Prices Bounce Back After 6-Week Low

After hitting a six-week low of $913.20 an ounce overnight, gold for August delivery is up slightly to $927.10 an ounce this afternoon as the US dollar fell against the euro and Japanese yen.

Concerns about reserve diversification away from US assets caused a drop in the dollar against the euro ahead of the Federal Reserve's monthly meeting, after Moody's said that America's AAA rating could be at risk if the dollar was challenged as the world's main reserve currency.

In other precious metals, silver was trading at $13.85 an ounce, platinum was down slightly to $1,162.90 an ounce, while palladium strengthened to $236.70 an ounce.

The Best Way to Profit from Gold

Get ready.

The most exciting and profitable time to be a gold investor is right on the horizon. That's because. . .

We've Just Entered the Final and Most Lucrative Stage of the Gold Bull Market

As we've discussed before, the lives of gold bull markets play out in three main stages. They are:

Stage One: Currency Devaluation
Stage Two: Growing Investment Demand
Stage Three: Speculative Mania Buying

During these three stages, gold prices typically rise in a parabolic upswing, subsequently resulting in a sharp — and profit-gushing — price spike.

As the ultimate example of this phenomenon, check out a chart of average monthly gold prices during the bull market of the 1970s. . .

The disco-era gold bull market stalled in 1975. Gold prices cooled off after increasing over 400%, and an 18-month correction followed. But the great gold bull market wasn't finished.

On August 25, 1976, the sleeping bull was awakened. Over the next several months, gold prices recovered and sharply curved into the model parabolic upswing.

When it was all said and done, gold prices increased 750% during the last leg of the 1970s' gold bull market.

Thanks Obama...
For Making Me Rich!!!

Love him or hate him, there's one thing you can count on with Barack Obama in office...

He's going to make renewable energy investors insanely wealthy!

Don't believe it?

The proof is in the numbers.

A modest $10K investment would have yielded enough money to buy a brand new house and a brand new car.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20. And there's no way to turn back the clock to invest in the past.

But by looking to the past, we can get a glimpse of the future. Here's what I'm talking about. . .

Gold's Grand Finale

We've already seen evidence of the first two stages in today's gold bull market.

Between the summer of 2001 and spring 2008, the value of the US dollar eroded, as evidenced by the 42% drop of the US Dollar Index. This was all part of the currency devaluation stage.

Meanwhile, speculators began to shun paper money and turn to gold. Investment demand ballooned over 550% in terms of tonnage and over 1,900% in terms of dollars.

As a result, gold prices have increased over 300% since the beginning of today's bull market.

But this is really just the beginning.

The gold bull market of the 1970s showed us that speculative mania buying will curve gold prices higher over the next several months into a blistering parabolic spike. In fact, it's already begun.

Gold Investment Demand Hits Historic High

Continuing the trend that began in the third quarter of 2008, investment demand for gold continued to bloom, reflecting a desire for a safe haven from the US dollar and other paper assets.

Gold investment demand reached a historic high of almost 600 tonnes during the first quarter of 2009. . . a whopping 250% increase compared to the same period a year earlier.

And if there is similar quarterly demand throughout the year, we could see another 100% increase in gold investment demand for 2009.

The investment shift from paper assets to gold will continue pushing gold prices higher and eventually skyrocket prices into the classic parabolic spike.

There are many ways to profit from the speculative mania stage. But let me tell you about. . .

The BEST Way to Profit from the Last Leg of the Gold Bull Market

Despite what your broker might tell you, it doesn't take an extensive, complicated investment portfolio to make a lot money. You just need to make a handful of the right investments.

Earlier this year, one of the world's leading international investment managers launched a new, one-of-a-kind investment vehicle designed to double the monthly return of gold prices. . .

A 50% increase in gold prices yields a 100% profit. . . a 100% gain pays out 200%. . . and so on.

Mind you, this product has been shunned by the media since its launch. Gold, after all, has never been understood or appreciated by the mainstream, despite its historic economic significance.

Still, for every 1% increase in the price of gold, this new gold investment vehicle delivers a positive 2% return!

To learn more about this incredible opportunity to double your gold profits during what will eventually be known as the greatest gold bull market in history, just continue reading here.

Junior Mining Sector

It hasn't worked out quite like we planned. . . yet.

Investment positions in the junior mining sector, which were supposed to benefit when things went south in the broad economy, have fallen across the board.

It has been awful to watch, let alone being a victim participant.

This pullback has prompted many investors to look at their portfolios and ask. . .

Is the Junior Mining Sector Dead?

Over the last several months, the reasons to own physical gold and silver have become crystal clear to most investors. These include mining supply and demand pressures, inflationary concerns, and poorly managed U.S. macroeconomic policies which will lead to continuing devaluation of the U.S. dollar.

But since the last major rally in the junior mining sector in October 2007, gold and silver stocks have suffered despite bullish moves in precious metals, big new discoveries, and general market rallies.

The best index we can use to measure the general health of the junior mining sector is the TSX Venture. That's because the majority of companies listed on the exchange are junior mining stocks.

Since May 2007, the TSX Venture has fallen almost 70%. Below you can see this drop and how other major indicies have performed over the same period of time.

Performance Since May 2007
TSX Venture	-70%

Dow Jones	-39%
NASDAQ	-34%
S&P 500	-41%
TSX	-31%

It looks rough. But I don't believe the junior mining sector is dead.

Multiply Your Money by TEN with Gold

The biggest gold rush in history is right around the corner. And it could push gold prices to over $5,000 an ounce!

Fortunately, there's a new investment vehicle on the market that doubles the daily profits of gold. And it could turn every dollar invested into TEN!

To learn more about this incredible opportunity, click here.

As gold and silver prices break out now to new record highs, a select group of quality companies in the junior mining sector are going to do phenomenally well.

These will be the very best stocks to own as new investors come looking for profits in the junior mining sector.

Many stocks will no doubt fall by the wayside. But major gains will be the reward for those able to successfully navigate the junior mining sector and determine which stocks will benefit most when the time comes.

How to Find the Junior Mining Sector's Biggest Profits

The junior mining sector is in dire need of new buying, both retail and institutional. Since the beginning of the year, trading volumes have remained anemic, except for select quality companies that have enjoyed a nice rebound since the meltdown.

As most of you can see, only the highest-class quality stocks are getting any attention. But the overall junior mining sector remains mired in the mud at the moment.

This could change as we get to new record highs in gold and silver, bringing new retail and institutional investment to the junior mining sector. Stay focused on owning quality stocks in the junior mining sector in anticipation of this new retail buying, which will hit our market eventually.

It is difficult to pinpoint when this will happen. But gold in particular looks like it wants to break out. When it does, it should be a big move which will also pull silver out of its recent funk.

For now, we stay focused on the gold and silver stocks that can deliver near-term profits. Specifically, I recommend looking for quality junior gold and silver companies that are expecting to begin or significantly increase production in the near future.

As far as base metal companies, they could take another year or two to recover. At some point, however, there will be a good buying opportunity in base metal stocks. But that moment is in the distant future.

As always, of course, owning a combination of both physical metals and select shares from the junior mining sector is the best way to protect yourself from the coming financial onslaught.

The Effects of Inflation and Debt

Most Americans are in absolute denial regarding the state of the U.S. economy and the effects of inflation and debt.

And the fact is, they want to believe in the fantasy and deceitful optimism the powers that be are pushing down our throats. They want to believe fairy tales above truth. They want to believe the carefully engineered system of lies that the U.S. government and Federal Reserve are advertising.

But they are about to find out just how high the costs are for their complacency, lack of understanding, and apathy.

Before you read on, let me warn you, this is not a pretty picture. . .

The Effects of Inflation and Debt on the U.S. Economy

"Big Ben" Bernake, his corrupt organization, and the U.S. government don't want you to understand what's really going on with the American economy.

They purposely use cryptic terms and phrases which are over the average person's head. We can thank the American education system for this.

This is the modus operandi for the elitists who own and control the Federal Reserve and is another reason why "We the People" need to purge this central bank scam from our country.

If you're looking for proof of just how out of control things are in Washington and New York, just consider how the American elite are trying to buttress the crumbling U.S. economy.

The Federal Reserve recently pledged to purchase as much as $1.15 trillion in U.S. Bonds and mortgage-backed securities to "encourage lending." In effect, the Fed is buying more U.S. debt.

Why?

Because other countries don't trust U.S. debt anymore!

We always knew this day was coming, and we here at Gold World have written about it many times before. But the stinging reality that this moment is now upon us is truly frightening.

The government will be forced to continue printing money to make sure there is enough to continue buying U.S. debt. This will lead to massive inflationary pressure. And the effects of inflation will catch up with us sooner than later.

This is their last ditch effort. There is nothing left to try or do. Either this scheme works or the whole thing goes up in flames.

The Federal Reserve will create whatever amount of money is necessary to pump up the U.S. economy and avoid going into a hyper-deflationary panic and ultimate disaster.

Of course, it's very unlikely the gimmick will work.

Rather, the only thing it really does is ensure hyper-inflation. This is why we here at Gold World have been saying, for over a year now, that governments worldwide and their central banks are completely incapable of preventing what is coming. Try as they will, in the end all they will have accomplished is buying a little more time and making the consequences much worse than they needed to be.

Cash will become trash over the next six months or so. I doubt we'll make it through the end of the year before things begin to really unwind. I now expect the U.S. dollar to resume its downward trend before the ultimate death spiral of the greenback, which will probably occur sometime in 2010.

What U.S. Inflation Means to Gold Investors

Fortunately, this hyperinflation will be incredibly good for gold and silver investors, since precious metals have done best during times of rising inflation.

As the value of the U.S. dollar drops, people will become desperate to have a store of value. And on the pyramid of stores of value, gold is the capstone.

Most of what's happening out there right now is out of our control. But we can concentrate on how to make money out of this predictable debacle and save ourselves and loved ones from unnecessary suffering.

You still have time to make your preparations, but the sand in the hourglass is quickly running out.

Review your current situation and focus on what you can do, not what you can't do. Small amounts of money placed in the right situations may make all the difference in the world to you, your family, friends, and loved ones.

Link up with other like-minded people who understand. In my opinion, all of us will need to rely on others more than we ever have.

Review the list I gave you a few weeks ago in my "Financial Crisis Investing" article and see where you are deficient. Having something tangible is better than ending up with a bunch of worthless paper money.

P.S. Uncle Sam's massive construction of debt over the past several years virtually guarantees inflationary pressure and the continuing decline in value of the U.S. dollar. And now that the greenback has had some strength, there's never been a better time to go short on the U.S. dollar. Luke Burgess has recently added two leveraged U.S. dollar short investment positions to his 2009 Secret Stock Files Investment Strategy Portfolio. And he wants to share them with you today, so you too can protect your future financial well-being and profit from the continuing decline of the U.S. dollar.

Financial Crisis Investing

As I travel around the country right now, meeting and talking to fellow investors, I encounter the same question over and over. . .

"How do I invest during this financial crisis?"

Of course there's no easy answer to this question. That's simply because we just don't know how bad things will get. And while we are hoping for the best, we'd be foolish not to prepare for the worst.

With this in mind, I have created a list of ten of the best investments you can make in preparation for the worst. But as you'll see in just a minute, many of these investments are not financial instruments that will return money. Rather, they are investments that will create other benefits in the future, such as security.

Financial Crisis Investing
Ten Best Ways to Invest During a Financial Crisis

1. Lower or Eliminate Any Debt
Seems obvious, but it bears repeating. The less debt you have in times of financial turmoil, the better off you will be. Large debt will be like a millstone around your neck as you're trying to tread water in a very deep lake. Make the decision to pay off any and all debts as quickly as possible. Then, consider never getting back into debt. Do not live beyond your means. Practice moderation. Despite what the media says, you do not need a luxury automobile, designer clothing, or expensive jewelry to be happy. Debt should only be used in the most dire of situations.

2. Use Cash Effectively Now
Look to use cash as effectively as possible over the next 12 months before major inflationary forces kick in and destroy the purchasing power of your money, especially if you live in the United States. For each individual this is going to mean different things. But overall you should ask yourself the question, "What is the most effective use of this cash right now while prices are still low and the purchasing power of money is still relatively high?"

3. Put Together a Food Storage
Media won't touch this with a 10-foot pole, but the time of easily accessible food at cheap prices may soon be over. The supply disruptions that always attend hyper-inflationary events have the possibility to cause major problems and shortages. It's best to plan ahead by putting together a food storage of items that store well for a long time, such as canned goods, freeze-dried foods, vacuum-packed food, etc.

4. Get a Safe Haven Location
If things get bad enough, major cities and densely populated areas may experience civil unrest on a scale we have never seen in America. Look at the scenarios painted by Gerald Celente, who says that within the next four years, America will see food riots, tax revolts, job marches, and millions of homeless. Or, consider the social anarchy that took place in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It doesn't take much to set off unrest. And what good is our money going to do us if we don't have a safe place to live until civil order can be restored? You may want to consider purchasing a small cabin in the mountains or a retreat area with like-minded people. You may have relatives who already have such a place. Think through this issue and stock it up ahead of time.

5. Own the Physical Precious Metals and Quality Mining Shares
Taking physical possession of gold and silver bullion coins and bars is essential to surviving any crisis. History has clearly shown that those who held the physical metals during times of economic turmoil and displacement fared much better than those who didn't. Make sure you own the gold and silver coins of the country you live in. If you live in Canada, then make sure you own the Canadian Gold and Silver Maple Leafs. If you are an American, then own the Gold and Silver Eagles. If you only can afford a small amount of metals, then you should own the silver coins first. Bars are cheaper to buy then coins, but coins such as the Eagles and Maple Leafs will be highly recognizable and more useful for purchasing or bartering for items you may need. Also, adding quality precious metals mining shares can greatly increase the leverage of your gold and silver portfolio, but they should be carefully selected. The combination of owning physical precious metals and mining shares will go a long way towards protecting your hard-earned savings from the ravages of the coming horrific inflation. If you can only afford one of these two suggestions, then you should stick with the physical metals.

6. Consider Buying a Gun
Regardless of your personal views on gun ownership, not having a gun when trouble comes could mean the difference between life and death. A good all-around pistol would be a 9MM or .45 caliber hand gun. You may also want to consider a defensive-type shotgun such as a Mossberg 500 or a high-powered, semi-automatic rifle, such as an AR-15, which I think is the best choice for defense. A semi-automatic rifle is more powerful than any handgun, and has a higher round capacity and longer range capability than a shotgun or pistol. It's also important to make sure you have at least several hundred rounds of ammunition, along with multiple magazines. The last weapon that you may want to consider is a hunting rifle. The most important thing about owning a gun is knowing how to use it. And practice makes perfect. So, I urge you to consider buying a gun, and practice frequently at a range until you are comfortable using it.

An Urgent National Priority

GE, Google, IBM, and Cisco have quietly invested $3 billion in a new technology that Energy Secretary Steven Chu has called an "urgent national priority."

It's all part of the emerging $2 trillion smart grid market.

And claiming your share has never been easier. Click here to learn about my three best smart grid plays.

7. Think Globally with Your Money
The more money you have in a crisis environment, the bigger problem you'll have trying to protect it. Business as usual is simply not going to work. Keeping your money in U.S. dollars inside the United States looks like it will be a disaster at some point. You should consider legally getting some of your money outside the country. While this strategy can get somewhat complicated, it may be prudent for those with a large enough net worth to spend the time and money doing so. For smaller-net worth individuals this would not be necessary, but you could keep some money in other currencies such as the Canada's, Hong Kong's, or Singapore's. In the end, though, I think physical holdings of gold and silver will be the ultimate safe haven currencies compared to anything else the world has to offer.

8. Find Other Like-Minded People
No single person is an island unto themselves. It will be important in the coming months and years ahead to surround yourself with other like-minded people who are prepared and have various skill sets. Banding together in groups will become essential in the trying times ahead. You should learn as many new skills as possible such as canning food, growing vegetables, rasing livestock, shooting a gun, etc.

9. Share Your Knowledge with Others
Some people will not be willing to listen under any circumstances. But if you approach people in the correct manner, you can be a big influence in getting others to prepare while they still can. This is something all good people should be willing to do. In that conversation, you should inform others that the way back to economic prosperity is getting back to our Constitutional values. "We the People" are going to have to take our country back from the greedy, power-seeking political types who exist in Washington and New York. Everyone should read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights so they know what our government is and should be. As more and more people come to the realization that we have all been had, more will be willing to stand up and fight for what is right and what the founding fathers created for us. The system of liberty given to us in 1787 is what created this great country and the prosperity it has seen. Unchecked greed and corruption are now destroying it.

10. Have a Good Communication System
In cases of severe and long-standing civil unrest, communications systems and the grid may be down for indefinite periods of time. With readily available methods of communication no longer operating, old technology such as "Ham Radios" could become an absolute lifeline. Handheld portable "HT" radios, as they are called, would be incredibly valuable. These do require a license, but the license is very easy to get. With a couple of weeks of study, you could easily pass the 30-question multiple choice test required to get a "Technicians License." Purchasing several of these small handheld radios for family members would be very valuable in such a crisis. The best model out there is the Yaesu VX-6 for around $250.00. You should also look to purchase the high-performance antenna for this model, manufactured by Diamond Antenna (Model number SRH77CA), for around $30.00.

While these are some of the most important things to consider for the coming economic meltdown, this is by no means an all-inclusive list. I will continue to provide information about the best things to consider in my Mining Speculator newsletter each and every month as I find other good sources or ideas to consider.

Devaluation of the U.S. Dollar

Every day more and more people around the world are starting to recognize the once great U.S. dollar as what it has become... an IOU for nothing!

Fortunately for us as gold investors, this new world awareness is a beacon signaling lucrative investment returns on the horizon. Let me explain...

Since the early 1970s, the value of the U.S. dollar has bounced up and down against a basket of currencies as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index. Since the inception of that index the dollar had a value as high as 160 at its strongest point and as low as 71 at its weakest point one year ago.

Before the U.S. Dollar Index was created, gold and silver were the world's international reserve currency. These metals were used by virtually everyone based on an agreement made in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire shortly after World War II. Gold and silver were also the primary instruments in which governments, central banks, financial institutions, and millions of individuals around the world kept their savings.

The Bretton Woods agreement continued until 1971 when the U.S. government successfully pulled off the greatest financial hoax of all time... convincing the world to accept the U.S. dollar as a substitute for gold and silver.

Since that event, governments, central banks, and large institutions around the world have been hoarding fiat U.S. dollars as they once hoarded physical gold and silver.

Because the U.S. was able to maintain economic strength, military supremacy, and the benchmark currency status, the world has allowed the U.S. government to create dollars seemingly without limits or consequences.

That is, until now!

Ripping the U.S. Dollar Apart

The value of the U.S. dollar plummeted this week after the Federal Reserve surprised markets by escalating its quantitative-easing program and signaling a more aggressive approach to keeping longer-term yields low and stabilizing the credit markets in the U.S.

There's only one reason President Obama is forking over billions for renewable energy.

And it's making insiders an absolute fortune!

Click here to find out what's really behind the push for renewable energy.

The greenback sold off sharply and broadly after the Fed said it would expand its purchases of mortgage-backed securities by an additional $750 billion and spend as much as $300 billion to purchase U.S. Treasuries.

The announcement created a frenzy in the gold market, skyrocketing the price of the great yellow metal up nearly $70 an ounce in one day!

Gold investors saw an impressive 8% gain, while Mining Speculator members who own my new "gold-doubling effect" investment recommendation saw a 16% gain in less than two hours after the Fed's announcement. More on that in just a second.

With the Federal Reserve creating new money faster than ever before, the world is finally starting to open its eyes and question the long-term sustainability of the U.S. dollar.

In fact, as Reuters reported on Wednesday, a U.N. panel will recommend next week that the world ditch the dollar as its main reserve currency in favor of a shared basket of currencies!

Currency specialist Avinash Persaud told a Reuters Funds Summit in Luxembourg the proposal was to create something like the old European Currency Unit, which was a hard-traded, weighted basket.

Central banks hold their reserves in a variety of currencies and gold, but the U.S. dollar has dominated as the most convincing store of value. This is despite the fact that its value wavered in recent years as the United States ran up massive budget and external deficits.

But it won't last long.

Sooner or later, the U.S. dollar will collapse. It's imminent. When the U.S. dollar does collapse, governments, central banks, financial institutions, and private investors will flee to the world's only true store of value: Gold.

This rush to gold will spark the final mania stage of the bull market and turn the yellow metal's parabolic upswing into a blistering price spike.

Gold is, and always has been, the safest investment in the world. Fortunately for us today, we have the opportunity to double our profits from gold. Here's what I'm talking about . . .

Double Your Gold Profits

Earlier this year, one of the world's leading international investment managers launched a new, one-of-a-kind investment vehicle designed to double the monthly return of gold prices.

Mind you, this investment has been all but ignored by media since its launch. Gold, after all, has never been understood or appreciated by the mainstream, despite its historic economic significance.

Still, for every 1% increase in the price of gold, this new gold investment vehicle delivers a positive 2% return!

You won't have to open a special account to get in on the action. It trades on the NYSE. Plus, it's completely liquid. . . and easy to add to any stock account you own right now.

The upside here is tremendous, and the risk is virtually non-existent, making this investment a true no-brainer.

The Hijacking of America Part II

...continued from Part I

The latest so called "economic stimulus package" is nothing more and nothing less than creating money out of thin air.

It absolutely guarantees hyperinflation within eighteen months time frame, possibly much less and gives us colossal opportunities to profit in non-dollar assets such as the precious metals.

And what we were originally told about the stimulus package, is suddenly no longer the case.

As always, what we the people were led to believe in the beginning as with the bailouts and now the economic stimulus is totally changed.

The economic stimulus is mostly pork barrel spending and socialism on a grand scale with little in the way of infrastructure job creation which was how this was originally billed.

It is very conceivable that the first year budget deficit of Obama's administration will exceed $3 trillion dollars. This is absolutely unsustainable by any definition you want to use.

As Jim Sinclair recently said, "There is no longer any means of reversal of the final terminal phase of the downward spiral now solidly set in motion."

It is coming whether you or I want it to or not. All you can do is take the positive approach and prepare for it, and profit from the debacle. The time to do so, however, is rapidly running out.

The million dollar question remains, how much time do we really have before the system implodes?

I wouldn't be surprised to see the next shoe drop at any moment as the "Obama Hope Rally" quickly fades into the next wave of financial panic.

This next wave down is going to be a whopper because it will involve the popping of the commercial real estate bubble and its associated derivatives.

Again, the powers that be don't want you to understand what these derivatives are and how they
are affecting the financial system.

The government/media complex keeps providing disinformation to prevent you from understanding the true nature of this derivative liability that exists worldwide.

What the exact amount of this liability represents is not exactly known. But what we do know is that what we have seen thus far is only the tip of the iceberg.

In these kinds of volatile environments, things can go from looking good to sheer panic at the drop of a hat.

The Federal Reserve is working feverishly at the moment to avoid deflationary panic. But their only solution is to throw money—lots of money—at the problem.

This in the end will only prove disastrous as hyperinflationary forces take over.

The reason for this is because of the sheer number of new dollars that are being created and thrown into the system.

The exact timing of when this hyperinflation will show up taking "Cash is King" to "Cash is Trash" will depend mostly on what is called the velocity of money as I have explained before.

If the newly created money starts to change hands quickly as people begin to buy whatever they can of value before there money buys even less, then you can expect the hyperinflation to show up sooner than eighteen months, possibly much sooner.

If, however, the velocity is slower and the newly created money does not change hands very quickly then we may get the full eighteen months before things really begin to unwind.

The Best Energy Investment of 2008

Forget about Three Mile Island, Nuclear Power is making a comeback for the ages. And for investors, that is one trend that is impossible to ignore.

Better yet, we have identified the one company with virtually a monopoly in the industry and its share price could easily double... even in a bear market!

To learn more about this Nuclear Monopoly click here.

Personally, my take is we will be lucky to make it through the end of the year without a major financial catastrophe.

So get prepared as quickly as possible for disruptions to the distribution network typical in periods of hyperinflation.

Get a food storage and emergency supplies in place. (Including at least a three month supply of prescription drugs).
Own physical gold, silver and the quality precious metals mining shares. Start thinking and taking short-term profits with the shares with every opportunity you get. Make sure you own the American Eagle silver coins if you live in U.S., or Canadian silver Maples if you live in Canada.
Keep some $1's, $5's, $10's and $20's safely in your home...at least a couple thousand dollars worth). I'm not recommending stuffing your mattresses, just some cash in case of "Bank Holidays" that seem sure to happen.
Consider buying or having a safe haven place at least two hours away from a major city.
Take a global perspective with regards to protecting your hard earned dollars. In other words, don't have so much U.S. dollar exposure. Transfer accounts to countries or currencies better than the U.S. dollar. Currencies of choice that come to mind are the Canadian dollar, the Singapore dollar, and the Hong Kong dollar.
Continue to educate yourself and others about the realities of what is happening. Don't believe the hype and outright lies that come from the Federal Reserve or U.S. Government.
Read the U.S. Constitution for yourself and help others read it so the public can know how we get back on track to liberty, prosperity, and abundance once more.

We are witnessing the undoing of what our founding fathers worked so hard to provide for us. They created a republic but were worried we would be able to keep it. See if the quotes below from our founding fathers don't ring true to you and really hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic, but will they be able to keep it? Or will they in their enjoyment of plenty, lose memory of their freedom. Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction."
—Thomas Jefferson

Benjamin Franklin's admonition as he left the final meeting of the Constitutional convention to his wife who asked what the new government would be. Franklin replied: "A republic madam, if you can keep it".

"The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both the Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow those who pervert the Constitution."
—Abraham Lincoln

The bottom line is we are losing the country the founding fathers so diligently worked and strived for.

The enemy is power seeking politicians on both sides of the isle and the unbelievably greedy fractional stock holders of the Federal Reserve who have now hijacked America from the people.

They are the very perverts that Abraham Lincoln warned us of.

Are you willing to fight to save the country from those who desire to pervert the Constitution?

This will be the ultimate decision that all of us will be faced with if the country is to be saved. Some say it is already too late. But I believe there still is a chance.

I believe that it is possible to find our way back to what made America great in the first place.

In the meantime, however, it looks like we are about to find out just how deep the consequences for decades of abuse of our system of credit and Constitutional values will be.

The opportunities for profit in the coming economic meltdown will be amazing.

While many will be losing most of their wealth and suffering in many untold ways, the few who were prepared will be able to come through the storm financially, physically and emotionally intact.

The time to prepare is coming to a close. Please be advised.

P.S. Throughout human history gold has offered safety amid crisis. Fortunately for us there's a new money-making phenomenon that can actually double your gains in gold. Thanks to this unique tool, every time gold gains just 1%, you make 2%... a 25% gain pays 50%... a 100% gain pays 200%... a 500% gain pays 1,000%! Click here to learn more.

The Hijacking of America, Part I

The rapidly accelerating chain of events moving us faster and faster towards economic oblivion is beyond shocking.

Truth is, it's happening much quicker than I anticipated.

The numbers these stooges in Washington and New York are throwing around for the bailouts and economic stimulus package are simply too big for the average person to comprehend.

This is one of the reasons why they can get away with it... because they know the average citizen can't understand it.

The Harry Truman adage "if you can't convince them, confuse them" comes to mind, and the politicians certainly have become very adept at doing that, lately. But why we let them get away with this is another story for another time.

At some point large numbers simply become figures on the page, well beyond human scale and intuitive understanding.

And yet discussion about the economy and the gargantuan numbers that come along with it continue to dominate the news. It may be more important than ever to try to understand what these numbers actually represent.

The politicians figure, as long as they can keep you in the dark, you won't demand any accountability from them.

And accountability to a politician is like a heart attack to your average 55-year-old.

So before I go any further, let's do a quick study of what a trillion dollars represents in order to understand why the U.S. Government is completely out of control and soon on its way to utter collapse.

With the economic stimulus package to cost an estimated one trillion dollars, and Obama's admitting to trillion-dollar budget deficits for years to come, here are some analogies that express the absurdity of the current situation in the United States.

Get In for Less Than the CEO

One company could hold the key to our energy and water woes.

Buffett is in. So is T. Rowe Price. And the CEO of the company recently tacked on thousands of shares to his personal holdings.

They all think the stock is going much higher. And you can get in at nearly the same price they did today.

This report explains why the technology will be so valuable and how you can stake your claim today.

First, a look at the numbers...

1 (one)
10 (ten)
100 (one hundred)
1,000 (one thousand)
10,000 (ten thousand)
100,000 (one hundred thousand)
1,000,000 (one million)
10,000,000 (ten million)
100,000,000 (one hundred million)
1,000,000,000 (one billion)
10,000,000,000 (ten billion)
100,000,000,000 (one hundred billion)
1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion)

Now, the analogies...

If someone spent one million dollars per day each and every day from Jesus' birth, it would take another 731 years beyond today to spend one trillion dollars.
If you laid one-dollar bills end to end, one trillion dollars would stretch nearly from the earth to the sun. It would take a military jet flying at the speed of sound, reeling out a roll of dollar bills behind it, 14 years before it spun out one trillion dollar bills!
If you took freshly-minted, brand-new $1,000 dollar bills and started stacking them one on top of another, it would take a stack over 68 miles high to reach one trillion dollars!

It's become almost surreal... but bad, like a nightmare!

It is clear that Obama's Keynesian economic advisors are telling him that they don't know what to do other than continue the Bush policy of creating more money out of thin air in a desperate attempt to stimulate the economy.

This is akin to a fireman's trying to put out a massive blaze by pumping gasoline through the hose instead of water.

Richard Maybury of the Early Warning Report made a great quote this month when he said the following:

"Expecting your life to be improved by politicians is to believe in one of the most unlikely events imaginable."

I couldn't agree with his observation more.

But we seem to have a large portion of America in complete denial of what is actually happening to our country.

Watching educated, but uninformed, Americans put so much trust and hope in government is flabbergasting to me.

Seeing those who take sides and want to blame the "other party" shows just how out-of-touch the average citizen in America has become.

It is not about Republicans and Democrats anymore.

We are way beyond that now.

Forget about trying to assign blame to one party of the other because this mess got started back in the 70's, and both parties are guilty, guilty, and guilty.

Look at the dismal record of fiat currencies throughout history and you'll see no country that has disconnected their currency from a gold or silver standard has ever made it past the 40-year mark before inflationary panic and disaster unfolded.

The United States is now in the 38th year of its fiat currency experiment, since Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.

Obama has already stated he plans on trillion-dollar budget deficits for years to come. This is completely unsustainable!

My take is we would be lucky to make it another eighteen months before the whole thing blows sky high.

Junior Gold Mining Stocks

Over the past several weeks, I have spent a lot of time sifting through junior gold mining stocks, looking to identify those that offer truly exceptional value.

Most of this time has been spent evaluating and comparing companies against one another in order to identify the true gems within our sector.

As I was going through the process recently, a famous quote came to mind:

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful."
- Warren Buffet

There is certainly plenty of fear out there at the moment... and for good reason, given what we have seen the past several months.

J. Paul Getty also embraced this same philosophy whenever he made an investment and considered this the secret to his investing success. Getty knew the difficulty of training oneself "to buy when everyone else was selling, and sell when everyone was buying." But he maintained that this was in fact the simplest and sanest way to make big money in any market you fancy.

Personally, I am not afraid to buy good value when things seem most desperate, but it would be nice to buy within 20% of the bottom.

Bigger Than The Internet

GE calls it "the biggest investment of the first half of the century."

Cisco has claimed it'll be "1,000 times bigger than the internet."

It's called the smart grid. And it's already generating fortunes.

Click here to get all the details and claim your share today.

Are Junior Gold Mining Stocks Nearing the Bottom?

Calling tops and bottoms consistently is impossible for any investor or analyst, as the statistics clearly show. But we can take another lesson from J. Paul Getty in this regard: Getty really didn't give too much heed to market timing other than buying when things were "really bad" for a sector. He knew the key was to buy low when nobody was interested and have the patience and financial staying power to wait things out. Over time, as the market for that sector improved and people came piling in, he would sell and look like a genius. He did this time and time again during his life.

Using the Buffet and Getty lessons, I would say that things are definitely desperate enough to warrant a look-see at buying value in junior gold mining stocks, currently.

But, could things go lower than where we are now?

Absolutely. But buying stocks at the exact moment of bottoming out is not statistically likely.

I sense we would be better off following the models of two of the most successful investors of all time and looking for value when things are really bad and fear reigns. Wouldn't you say things are currently "really bad" per J. Paul Getty's definition of when to buy, or using Warren Buffet's fear gauge? I would.

Do any of us have the courage to realign our portfolios and buy the best values of the moment? I think those who do and those who take the longer-term perspective will turn out to make the biggest returns from our sector yet.

These are critical times we are living in.

The choices we make right now regarding our finances may be some of the most important ones we make in our lifetime.

I repeat my mantra that owning physical precious metals along with the right set of junior mining stocks is still the best way to protect oneself from the financial hell-storm that is underway and getting worse by the week.

With all that is happening, particularly the level of desperation under which the Federal Reserve and U.S. Government are operating, precious metal prices are going to detach from the general market activity at some point and absolutely soar.

As the precious metals make their move, and they will in a big way, a select group of junior gold mining stocks are going to perform phenomenally well!

Nibbling at the best values in our current market is probably a smart thing to do over the next few months.

Getting rid of the deadwood is also important as we re-align our portfolios to match the changes the market has dictated. And if after making those changes we have the staying power and patience to weather the storm, then I believe things will work out in our favor in the end.

How to Profit from Market Bubbles

In 2008, we witnessed three market bubbles popping:

   1. The Real Estate Bubble
   2. The Stock Market Bubble
   3. The Commodity Bubble

Each of these markets remains stagnant, and we still seem to have a long way to go as the world continues down the road of deleveraging.

As a result of the global recession that has ensued, the stakes for individuals, businesses, and world governments are becoming greater and greater by the week.

Governments worldwide seem to be caught like deer in the headlights with their only available option being to inflate like there is no tomorrow.

And now, on top of everything that's already happened, it appears that we have two more bubbles that are going to pop this year.

Double... Triple... Even Quadruple your Money as Oil Recovers

As large amounts of liquidity overload global markets, inflationary fears will re-appear and the U.S. dollar will suffer. And as a result, commodities will retake center stage and a handful of beaten down companies will cash in... big.

In fact, as oil recovers, we expect our $3 stock to soar to at least $15 to $20 in the next few months. Isn't it time you started making these gains?

Click here for more.

The Commercial Real Estate Market Bubble

Within the next few months we are going to see a massive amount of commercial real estate go into default mode.

I recently had a conversation with one of the top leasing agents in America for big box retail stores. He told me that many retailers —including big brand-name stores that you well know— are having difficulty making their monthly lease payments. Most big box stores don't own their buildings. Rather, they lease the buildings from companies like his, which happens to be one of the largest in the country. He told me just a few weeks ago that a day doesn't go by now where multiple calls come in from clients who can't make their monthly payments. He told me, by end of the first quarter, he expects to see a massive wave of defaults on the part of these big box retails stores who will have to shut down and move out.

As a result of all this, commercial real estate prices will plummet, causing further damage to companies' balance sheets and effectively putting the economy deeper into recession.

But the damage from the burst of the commercial real estate bubble will seem modest compared to the fallout from the pop of the U.S. Treasury bubble.

The U.S. Treasury Market Bubble

U.S. Treasuries are the main asset held by the rest of the world's central banks as reserves behind their own national currencies.

Yields are certain to move higher in 2009 as the U.S. Government tries to borrow more than $2 trillion or more.

We don't know yet how much, but reasonable estimates have the budget deficit for this year in the United States between $2 and $3 trillion, conservatively!

As yields skyrocket, all bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, will plummet.

And when the U.S. Treasury bubble bursts, the onslaught in world bond markets will be catastrophic.

This will be the last bubble to burst. The U.S. Treasury bubble is the "Game Over" bubble.

When U.S. Treasuries start their downward spiral, the valuation of the reserves held by central banks around the world will be sucked down in the vortex, effectively forcing interest rates higher. As this happens, the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies will be headed lower as well. And the role of the U.S dollar as the dominant reserve currency will lessen.

The U.S. dollar's and U.S. Treasuries' heading lower at the same time will wreak havoc with the foreign central banks desperate to replenish their reserves and maintain order within their pubic banking sector.

Amid the mayhem that will ensue, central banks, governments, financial insitiutions, and private investors around the world will harmonize in thought. They'll all rush to buy gold.

Bursting Market Bubbles Will Lead to a New Gold Rush

The rush to gold is going to be incredible over the next several months. While the world is still seeking safety in paper fiat currencies, there is only one alternative left to the U.S. dollar as it fails, and that is gold.

A recent quote that I saw in the Financial Times by the author David Hale said it best:

The clear alternative to the dollar in 2009 is not other currencies but that ancient form of money: gold. Precious metals could emerge as a hedge for investors suspicious of central banks and fearful that inflation will be the simplest solution to the challenge of global deleveraging.

Gold World still recommends holding physical precious metals and quality gold and silver stocks. The popping of the commercial real estate and U.S. Treasury bubbles is going to cause major problems here in America and worldwide. The time to prepare is now.

Gold Mining Stocks

When comparing the performance of various investments over the past ten years, it is evident why we should remain focused on investing in gold mining stocks.

The Best Gold Mining Stocks Index

A good measure of gold mining stocks is the Amex Gold BUGS (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) Index [AMEX: HUI].

The HUI Gold Bugs Index is a modified, equal-dollar weighted index of gold mining stocks. The index was designed to provide significant exposure to movements in gold mining stocks by including companies that do not hedge their gold production beyond 1.5 years. The AMEX Gold BUGS Index currently consists of 15 of the largest and most widely-held public gold mining stocks.

AMEX Gold BUGS Index

Source: NYSE Euronext

Over the past ten years, this basket of gold mining stocks has outperformed every major equity index and commodity in the world.

Gold Mining Stocks Outperform Most Assets over Ten Years

The HUI Gold Bugs Index has returned a solid 347% for the decade, while the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the NASDAQ all show a significant loss.

Even when compared to physical commodities, which have done very well during this bull market, gold mining stocks outperform. Gold and oil have experienced a respective 206% and 270% price increase in the last ten years, while the HUI Index is up nearly 350%.

Source: Union Securities Ltd.

So despite all that we have had to endure in terms of volatility during the tenure of the current financial crisis, the clear winners over the past decade have been gold mining stocks. This clearly validates the investment strategy of both Gold World and my Mining Speculator newsletter.

And with all that is happening in the financial world, the amount of new investors in into gold and gold mining stocks will dwarf what we have seen thus far. In other words, get ready for the biggest moves in gold mining stocks over the next two years, particularly in 2010 which I am starting to refer to as "The Year of Gold Mania."

However, and this is very important, we always need to remember to keep our passions in check.

Don't Forget to Take a Profit from Gold Mining Stocks

The great lesson that we need to take away from the current economic downturn is to take profits from our gold mining stocks when they are offered.

Over the next 24 months, I expect that there will be great periods when gold mining stocks perform exceptionally well. But we need to remember to take profits from gold mining stocks and not get caught up in the story and/or our own greed.

They are quite volatile by nature; and, like we have just experienced, investors can get crushed when downside takes hold. However, when the upside comes, and it will come again, remember to cash in. I simply cannot stress this enough.

Investing in Gold Mining Stocks in 2009

Gold mining stocks have been hit hard over the past several months. However, I believe that gold mining stocks will begin to disconnect from the money-losing performance of the general markets and head higher sometime in the latter part of 2009.

I expect this will be a set-up year for the mania stage of the gold bull market, which I see ultimately unfolding sometime in 2010. During this mania stage, I expect to see masses of investors pining to get any kind of exposure to gold. As this happens gold prices will begin their next ascent to another new high. This will be the best opportunity to take profits from gold mining stocks in the past ten years.

Gold mining stocks are where the biggest money is going to be made in the general gold bull market. The returns could be phenomenal and beyond the wildest imaginations of most investors. It may just be the greatest investment opportunity of a lifetime for those who take key positions now in gold mining stocks.

The Coming Collapse of the US Economy

Watching the circus of economic stupidity unfold over the past several weeks has been an accurate indication of how desperate the authorities have become.

The powers that be are trying anything and everything to avoid the coming collapse of the US economy. They have pulled out all the stops in an attempt to fix the problem. But the fact is, they are the problem.

And in the end we're ultimately going to have to deal with the consequences. They simply cannot be avoided.

You would think the public outrage would be incredible as we watch one absurdity happen after another. Unfortunately, people in general still seem very passive about it all. Here's what I'm talking about...

We just gave Citigroup over $300 billion dollars without even as much as a discussion with Congress or the public. And yet we have to have multiple hearings in CONgress on whether or not to give the ailing car companies, who actually produce something, a paltry $20 billion in loans. Go figure. No, check that—don't try to figure it out, it's just too stupid.

Another example is the latest forecast for the annual US Federal budget deficit in 2009 for more than $3 trillion!

That's over $2 trillion more then last year's budget deficit that we used to complain about.

As it turns out, the years of trillion-dollar yearly deficits were actually the good days.

If someone told me a year ago that we would be projecting a US $3 trillion dollar budget deficit for 2009, I would not have believed it. And the international economic data put out over the last two weeks is no better.

But, hey, not to fear, because Obama is going to save us!

There's only one reason President Obama is forking over billions for renewable energy.

And it's making insiders an absolute fortune!

Click here to find out what's really behind the push for renewable energy.

Right?

Wrong!

Every single US President that we've ever known did not make good on most of the promises made while campaigning. In other words, 100% of these Presidents turned out to be a lairs. Why then would anyone believe Obama will be different?

Barack Obama is just another power-seeking political puppet in the hands of the Federal Reserve.

Need proof?

Just look at Obama's choice for the office of United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice.

Dr. Susan Rice's father is Emmett J. Rice, a former governor of the Federal Reserve. She's also married to ABC News producer Ian O. Cameron. So right off the bat we know that the new United States Ambassador to the United Nations has direct ties to both the Federal Reserve and the mainstream media.

Rice is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. For those of you who don't know, the Council on Foreign Relations is a very powerful private organization that influences the foreign policy of the United States. It began with Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points," a speech which suggested a worldwide security organization, or in other words, a one-world government. The organization was also initially bankrolled by early 20th-century New York financiers and international lawyers including J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller Jr. Both of these men helped to set up the Federal Reserve system.

It is not about Democrats or Republicans anymore. Both parties have failed the American people. It doesn't matter who gets elected from these parties. These people serve the powers that be, which are the fractional stock owners of the Federal Reserve.

Our country was founded as a republic, and our elected officials are supposed to represent the people. But whose bidding are they doing anymore?

Certainly not that of the people!

If you look closely, they are following the orders of the Federal Reserve who recently told them to get out a blank check and bend over.

Are you angry? You should be!

Are we as Americans really this apathetic? Are we all willing to just watch our freedoms, liberties, and prosperity whither away without a fight?

I am willing to bet that if a significant number of committed people are not willing to fight... then, yes, we will lose the essential liberties, freedoms, and economic prosperity that have been the foundation of our country.

As things get worse, the average citizen will become more aware of what is happening and understand the need to do something. This may lead us into the second great American Revolution within four years.

These are going to be shocking times. Gold and silver prices are going to skyrocket amidst the worsening crisis.

P.S. Most of us are looking for new ways to safeguard our wealth right now. One of the better options right now are the high yield money market accounts from EverBank. They are currently offering a 4.00% bonus rate for 3 months on the Yield Pledge Money Market Account. Customers that open a money market account with EverBank before the end of the year, will be "grandfathered" into the current blended rate of 4.00% for 3 months, for a total of 3.42% APY for deposits up to $50k. This is a limited time offer. In response to the Federal Reserve lowering interests rate from 0% to 0.25%, EverBank may choose to lower their rates at the first of the year. So this offer won't last very long. EverBank is FDIC insured up to $250,000 and is well capitalized based on my research. Take some time to check them out by clicking here.

How to Buy Gold Below Spot Price

The biggest gold rush in world history has just begun.

It will be remembered as the most lucrative gold event ever.

But this gold rush will be different than any of its predecessors.

It won't take place on a remote desert plateau... or in a frontier mountain range. And you don't need to be a grizzled prospector to get in on the action, I promise you.

No, the biggest gold rush in history is about to take place on Wall Street.

And what that means to you should be clear...

It is the Best Time to Buy Gold

We have just entered the final and most profitable stage of the gold bull market.

During this stage, speculative mania buying will curve gold prices higher into a blistering parabolic spike.

It's happened before.

In the final stage of the 1970s gold bull market, gold prices swung 750% higher!

Speculative mania buying ultimately pushed gold prices 2,329% higher in the bull market of the 70s. A $5K investment turned into $116,450.

The speculative mania buying stage of today's gold bull market is just getting started.

All investor classes—from massive central banks to gold bugs who buy bullion on eBay—are beginning to buy more gold at a faster rate than ever.

As a result, the gold market now has a colossal supply/demand deficit. Just look at the numbers...

During the third-quarter of this year, world gold demand increased over 50% to 1,155 tonnes compared to the previous quarter. In dollar terms, it rose to $31.8 billion, an all-time record high. Driving this was investment demand, which increased a staggering 179% over the second-quarter.

But while demand is soaring...

Gold Supplies are Plummeting

That's right. The world's gold supply dropped 64% year-on-year to 858 tonnes.

As a result, the gold market was left with a massive 10.5 million ounce deficit. This deficit was worth $8.5 billion and was the largest supply/demand deficit since the gold bull market of the 70s.

With hundreds of mines shutting down around the world as the global economic crisis continues to squeeze development budgets, we will see further declines in the world supply of gold, and further tightening of the market.

At the same time, world gold demand will continue to break records, as more and more investors move into the metal for profit... and as a hedge against financial catastrophe. Even right now...

International Companies are Dominating the Cleantech Space

Many of the world's new energy technologies are being developed in countries outside the United States. Germany, for example, is mother to the modern solar industry. The Danes have all but cornered the wind industry with the now-famous Vestas Wind Systems. Green Chip International is taking full advantage of this phenomenon. Its latest German solar recommendation is up about 11% in under two weeks. Everyday, international renewables companies are delivering monster gains.

The Level of Gold Buying in the Market is Unprecedented

I don't need to remind you that gold demand is going through the roof.

Thing is, in addition to being editor of Gold World and investment director of the Mining Speculator, I've been an independent authorized bullion dealer for the past 10 years with my company, AmeriGold.

Right now, as I write this letter to you, I can hear the phones ringing off the hook. Everyone wants the same thing: To buy gold!

But there's a problem. A big problem.

For the past several weeks, bullion dealers around the world, including myself, have been restricted in how much gold we can order from our distributors. The distributors are allocating gold orders to dealers because the mints have had to significantly cut back on—and even completely halt—production of gold bars and coins due to boisterous demand and the shortage of supplies that I just mentioned.

As a result, it has become very difficult—sometimes impossible—for bullion dealers like AmeriGold to fill all customer orders because of the veracious appetite for gold in the market.

In fact, when I receive new inventory, it's out the door the next day.

Back in March, when gold prices climbed over $1,000 an ounce, the business was about 70% buyers and 30% sellers.

Now, it's 99% buyers and 1% sellers. People are buying whatever is available.

All this is clear indication to me that the speculative mania buying stage of today's gold bull market has begun.

Once this final stage of the bull market plays itself out, I expect gold prices to be in the $3,000 to $5,000 range, maybe higher.

That means you need to buy gold now while prices are still below $800 an ounce. Now, here it is...

How You Can Buy Gold Below Market Prices

I am now offering a special, limited-time discount on gold bars and coins purchased from AmeriGold.

Here's how it works:

1.25% discount on gold orders between $5,000 and $9,999

1.5% discount on gold orders between $10,000 and $24,999

2% discount on gold orders between $25,000 and $50,000

This is an offer you won't find anywhere, especially right now.

In addition to the discount, I will also put your name at the top of my customer list. This way you'll get first dibs on available bullion.

All you have to do to get the special discount and secure your spot on the customer list is take a risk-free $25 trial of my Mining Speculator advisory service.

Why Mining Speculator Is a Must-Buy in this Market

Mining Speculator isn't your normal investment advisory service. It is, however, the definitive resource for investors seeking profits and protection in a gold and precious metal bull market.

It's where investors burned by the financial crisis are now turning as a safe-haven alternative to the agenda-guided mainstream financial media.

I tell you what to buy, when to sell, and when to hold... so you can enjoy the greatest gains in the easiest possible manner. During the precious metals bull market of 2001 - 2007, I gave subscribers an average return of 212% across all of my stock picks.

Once the gold bull market resumes, I plan to give my readers those same gains.

And, right now, for as little as $25, you can begin getting the Mining Speculator advisory, plus receive a special discount on gold purchased from AmeriGold, and be placed at the front of the list of buyers.

Remember, this is a limited-time offer. I can only extend this special discount to new Mining Speculator subscribers until December 31, 2008. So I urge you to act now.

I cannot emphasize this enough. You need to have gold in your portfolio. And with this kind of offer, there's no reason not to buy gold right now.

World Stock Markets

Events of the past several weeks have left individual investment portfolios devastated as trillions of dollars in paper wealth have literally disappeared from world stock markets.

Even safe haven investments like gold, which normally performs well during financial crisis, have been decimated, adding to the state of shock and confusion.

This meltdown has surpassed all expectations, and has no historical precedents.

We are in uncharted waters. And it is very difficult to make any kind of prognostication about the future of the world stock market or where this gigantic mess will lead to socially, politically, etc. simply because have no archetype. And the main reason for this is because over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives didn't exist historically.

World Stock Markets and OTC Derivatives

Over-the-counter derivatives, or OTC derivatives, are contracts that are traded (and privately negotiated) directly between two parties, without going through an exchange or other intermediary. This means that they are unregulated and often the subject of manipulation.

The OTC derivative market is the largest market for derivatives. According to the latest report from the Bank for International Settlements, the notional amounts outstanding of OTC derivatives continues to grow and currently stands at $683.7 trillion in the first half of 2008. This represents an 876% growth in the past ten years.

To put it bluntly: OTC derivatives are an immoral, corrupt, more recent creation on the part of so called "shrewd financial types" looking to make obscene amounts of profits with total disregard for the public safety in the world stock markets. They are the most destructive investment products in the world.

There have been a few analysts, including myself, that have been warning for years of the absolute destructive nature of these instruments. Only a hand full seriously listened, until now. And now the OTC derivatives are helping to rip the world stock markets apart piece by piece.

Unfortunately, I expect that the carnage from these imploding derivatives is still only in its earliest stages. There is a mountain of this "financial sewage" (as Warren Buffet calls it) that is still to come that I expect to continue weighing down on the world stock markets.

The U.S. Dollar and Gold Prices

The U.S. dollar, which now seems to be defying gravity, will eventually crater to its intrinsic value, which is zero, before all this is over.

One of the reasons for this recent but absurd dollar strength was best explained in my opinion by financial analyst Rob Kirby who said the following:

What folks need to understand is that the global OTC derivatives market, measured in tens or hundreds of trillions, is virtually all U.S. dollar denominated. Its systematic failure, which is now occurring, requires U.S. dollar balances to clear (settle) the trades (bets). This has created the paradoxical global demand for U.S. dollars, the currency of a country that is fundamentally bankrupt. By rationing credit to hedge funds that were naturally levered and "long commodities", institutions like JP Morgan routinely took the other sides of their customers commodities bets, ruining institutions like natural gas player Amaranth, and propping up the balance sheets of those who were short commodities, such as the banks. The Federal Reserve led cabal of Central Bankers have engineered the collapse in commodities prices while creating the illusion (of a perverse U.S. dollar rally). The engineered collapse of the commodities complex became necessary in the eyes of monetary elites because the rush for tangibles and corresponding repudiation of fiat money was becoming manic, as so clearly evidenced by the emerging shortages of precious metals, gold and silver bullion.

There it is in a nutshell folks! I couldn't agree more with what Mr. Kirby has so wisely written. You don't need to look any further in understanding what has happened to the United States.

How You Could Collect 500% From Oil's Violent Rally

We first alerted you back when it traded for $33. We proved to you why there would be no ceiling of $147 this time as oil erupted through $40... then $45... and again at $55.

But now, with oil rapidly approaching $70 - and about to BURST a lot higher - find out exactly how one group of traders is loading up now, while the game is still early, to collect DOUBLE THE GAINS!

This is why I have been so adamant in saying that the Federal Reserve criminals and the monetary elites are the source of our plight as citizens. The real world terrorists don't hide out in jungles or caves. Here is the real terrorist hideout:

Their tinkering, bailouts, interventions, and utter stupidity are going to cause the greatest depression of all time. It is not a matter of if; it's a matter of when will this occur?

There is a lot of attention focused on the January COMEX gold contracts that will expire sometime in the later half of this month. This just may be the catalyst we need for gold prices to blast off from their artificially suppressed levels due to massive short covering. Something has to give between the phony paper price of gold and the physical supply/demand imbalance. When it does, gold and gold-related investments will recover and the U.S. dollar will resume its long-term downward trend.

The World Stock Markets in the Next 12 Months

Gerald Celente of Trends Research Institute recently wrote:

The Fed cannot print enough money to paper over the $531.2 trillion in derivatives and credit swaps, the trillions in the overbuilt commercial real estate market ready to collapse, the multi-trillions in leveraged buyouts going bust, and other exotic financial instruments that have turned toxic. Yesterday's lowering of interest rates and the continual Fed action to flood the markets with money will lead to an era of hyper-inflation, the likes of which no living American has ever seen. We continue to forecast gold $2000. And once again, we urge you to take precautionary measures in view of a worsening global market meltdown.

Hyperinflation of this sort will absolutely drive gold prices to levels we just can't imagine. Gold priced in German Marks between January 1919 and November 1923 increased 51,176,470,588,135% during the hyperinflationary period of the Weimar Republic.

John Embry, of Sprott Asset Management, who was recently interviewed regarding this topic, believes as I do and said, "The U.S. authorities will not hesitate to debase their currency in an attempt to salvage the financial system. In the fullness of time, this will be wildly inflationary and should propel gold and silver prices that would be viewed by many in today's context as surreal."

Hyperinflation with extreme volatility is what you need to understand and keep in mind about the near-term future of the world stock markets. This is what we can expect given the current circumstances.

How to Beat the Falling World Stock Markets

People will be startled and surprised at how quickly gold and gold-related investment can and will recover. And there's no better time than to start buying gold now as a hedge against continuing disater in the world stock markets.

Gold prices have given back most of the gains made in November, and now sit at about $775 an ounce. I highly recommend that you buy physical gold now before things get even worse.

On Thursday I will be making a very special offer exclusively to Gold World readers that will allow you to buy physical gold at a considerable discount to spot price. This discount will be a limited time offer. So keep an eye out for my special offer in Thursday's issue of Gold World.

Until then,

How a Gold Bull Market Works

We Have Just Entered the Final and Most Profitable Stage of the Gold Bull Market.

During this stage, speculative mania buying will curve gold prices higher into a blistering parabolic spike.

Fortunately, a new investment vehicle is now available in the market...

...One that allows investors to retain the historic safety of gold and yield double the monthly profit.

Now before I get into this new gold vehicle, it's important to first understand why a rapid, near-vertical increase in gold prices is coming soon, and how...

Gold could go over $5,000!

You see, to get an idea of what to expect in the future, we always look to the past.

During the great gold bull market of the 1970s, the average monthly gold price increased from under $35 to over $675 an ounce... representing a 1,833% gain.

If today's gold bull market makes similar moves forward, gold prices could skyrocket well past $5,000 an ounce.

Now gold prices at $5,000 may seem like a stretch, especially considering the metal hasn't had much strength over $1,000. Nevertheless, $5,000 gold is absolutely possible. Here's why:

How a Gold Bull Market Works

Every major gold bull market in modern history has consisted of three main stages:

1. Currency Deflation Stage
2. Investment Demand Stage
3. Mania Stage

During these three stages, gold prices typically rise in a parabolic upswing, which ultimately results in a sharp, skyrocketing price spike. (Take a look at the 1970s gold bull market chart above, as an example of this phenomenon.)

So far in today's gold bull market, we've seen evidence of the first two stages:

During the first stage of a gold bull market, prices increase because of currency devaluation. In this bull market a dramatic drop in the value of the US dollar against other world currencies has lifted gold prices over the past 7 years. This devaluation is evident in the 42% drop of the US Dollar Index between the summer of 2001 and spring 2008.

In the second stage, gold prices continue to grow due to increased investment demand. Attracted by the modest gains of the first stage of the gold bull market, investors begin to buy gold as an investment, which further snowballs the price of gold higher. And with the introduction of the popular gold ETFs—and similar products—investment demand has had incredible strength since the beginning of this gold bull market, growing in terms of both tonnage and dollar demand.

Again, the first and second stages of a gold bull market generally return considerable gains. In fact, gold prices in this bull market have increased as much as 306%.

But it's the third and final stage of a gold bull market that can turn everyday investors into instant millionaires.

Gold's Lucrative Final Act: The Mania Stage

There's no rush like a gold rush, and a speculative mania can kindle an inferno of popular greed that rivals that of the Conquistador's legendary lust for gold.

During the third stage of a bull market, mania buying finally turns gold's parabolic upswing into a blistering price spike.

We saw a similar price spike in the final six months of the 1970s gold bull market, when gold prices rocketed nearly 200%... leaving a trail of nouveau-riche investors in the wake.

Make no mistake. The mania stage is coming. Now let me tell you how you can...

Double Your Gold Profits with this New Investment

Earlier this year, one of the world's leading international investment managers launched a new, one-of-a-kind investment vehicle designed to double the monthly return of gold prices.

Mind you, this investment has been all but ignored by media since its launch. Gold, after all, has never been understood or appreciated by the mainstream, despite its historic economic significance.

Still, for every 1% increase in the price of gold, this new gold investment vehicle delivers a positive 2% return!

There's no investment club to join. You won't have to open a special account to get in on the action. It trades on the NYSE. Plus, it's completely liquid... and easy to add to any stock account you own right now.

Understand this editorial is not an endorsement for this investment vehicle, nor am I being remunerated in any way. That said, I can't reinforce this notion enough... Now is time you want to be in gold!

Yes, gold prices have pulled back significantly since mid-July, as the US dollar found strength as a result of foreign buying.

And it's likely that the US dollar will continue to remain strong in the short-term, subsequently holding back the price of gold.

But it simply won't last long.

Sooner or later the US dollar will collapse. It's imminent.

And when it does, the mania buying stage could skyrocket gold prices to previously unthinkable levels...

...Making this new gold investment vehicle a true 'no-brainer.'

The World's Only 100% "Gold-Backed Bank"

It's a wonder Americans aren't rioting in the streets.

Not including the $700 billion blank check issued to the banks and signed by the US taxpayer, the sum of liabilities assumed by the US government from the finance industry in the past 6 months alone exceeds 50% of the GDP.

Despite this unprecedented government intervention, the solvency of other every commercial and investment bank is still at stake!

Recognize this all-but-forgotten quote?

"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."
— Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father, Third President of the United States, and the principal author of the US Declaration of Independence

How bout a drink from the cup of truth...

The Bush administration's $700 billion bailout plan may keep some banks afloat for the time being. But fundamental problems are still deeply rooted within the financial markets that threaten to bring down the whole system.

The hard truth is that there is no 100% safe place to keep your money.

Physical cash and gold are the safest places to hold your wealth right now. Anyone who tells you otherwise has either a motive or no clue.

Those with the means to do so should be holding at least some physical cash and gold.

Of course, people will debate why you should hold these assets...

Gold is the ultimate in hedging against financial turmoil. But as it stands today, it's quite rare to find someone willing to trade a product or service for gold. In other words, it's difficult to spend gold like money, which has been a criticism of owning physical gold for decades.

Today's digital age allows consumers to move electronic fiat money around at speeds exponentially faster than ever before. This morning I paid my cable bill with my check card. The entire transaction was completed within 5 minutes. Had I paid by mailing a check, it could have taken up 1-2 days to reach the cable company and 3-5 days to clear my account.

So what if there was a way gold could be used as easily as electronic money?

The World's Only "100% Backed-by-Gold Bank"

You might have a hard time believing this, but you can actually put yourself on a personal gold standard with a new kind of currency, and it's rapidly growing among gold bugs.

Understand first, this new currency is not legal tender issued by any government. That means there's no debt, inflation, geopolitical turmoil, or any other considerations normally associated with government-issued currency.

The currency comes in electronic form, but can be used like any other currency in the world today to pay for goods and services, and even settle debt. But there's one major difference that sets this currency apart from every other in the world:

It's 100% backed by gold.

In fact, in most cases you can instantly exchange this currency for physical gold at any time... a feature taken away from the US dollar decades ago.

This currency has a new system fully established, making it as easy to use as the current banking industry's electronic money. Right now, in fact, there are already over 3,000 outfits—and climbing—in which you can pay online using this currency.

How the "Gold Bank" Works

Customers transfer funds from traditional bank accounts into these unique gold-backed bank accounts, and earn interest on their funds prior to placing an order.

Meanwhile, for customers already holding gold and silver in secured (and insured) vaults, their metals are insured and held in specialized bullion vaults. Their metals assets go through an annual audit, and are fully reported to customers.

Once customers' funds are in the database, customers' orders are made through its secure online system. Database servers record all transactions and store currency and metal balances.

The Advantages of Using this Currency?

Being backed by gold, the purchasing power of this currency fluctuates in relation to the price of gold.

This means that as the price of gold increases, the purchasing power of the account increases. On the flip side, however, if the price of gold falls, so does the value of the account. Nonetheless, the risk of significant price fluctuation in gold is small compared to the risk of value fluctuations among fiat currencies, especially the US dollar.

And despite a short-term correction, the price of gold has increased significantly over the past five years. So this factor has worked out to the advantage of anyone holding this currency over that period. And with +$2,000 gold on the horizon, holders of this currency should do quite well in the future.

Now you should know that I'm in no way affiliated with this service, nor do I receive any compensation from it. That said...

I Recently Put the Final Touches on my New Research Report...

This report shares all the details about the new gold-backed electronic currency, and it's yours free after you take a risk-free trial of the Mining Speculator service.

It's your chance to get in on the biggest and best buying opportunity in junior gold and silver stocks... ever.

That's right. The junior gold market is about to blast off, after a brutal beat-down sparked by the financial crisis. Truth is, it's pushed many gold and silver stocks to new lows...

... Which is why you don't want to wait a minute longer to position yourself in the Mining Speculator's mining and precious metals portfolio. Our team of analysts scour the earth for opportunities in gold, as protection against the financial uncertainties engulfing the U.S. and world markets.

It's the ultimate opportunity in a period of great crisis.

You see, as our government continues to lose control of its ability to manage and prop up markets, gold and silver will undoubtedly make meteoric moves that will stun the populace.

And just in case you still harbor doubts about gold, consider this... reported last week in the Financial Times...

"... Investors in gold are demanding 'unprecedented' amounts of bullion bars and coins and moving them into their own vaults as fears about the health of the global financial system deepen."

And since gold bullion is getting harder and harder to come by, more investors are looking for the next best alternative, and that's...

Precious Metals Mining Stocks

Bottom line: Junior mining stocks will begin to make major moves to the upside, rewarding those who got in early and held on... and those who get in now at what are, frankly, bargain share prices.

You see, nothing can keep gold from doubling up and hitting $2,000 an ounce... causing shares in our mining exploration companies to skyrocket.

I'm talking about junior mining stocks with the potential to double, triple—even quadruple!

Of course, many people have trouble accepting gold as an investment—even now that they've witnessed a financial upheaval that's shaken our country by the shoulders.

But I also know that those who have heard me out-and followed through with my research and recommendations-have made extraordinary, life-altering returns.

Which is why I maintain...

There's never been a better time-a more crucial time-to protect your portfolio with gold and precious metals.

And for a brief time, we're making it easy to do just that... for as little as $25.

To get immediate inside access to the junior mining companies poised for major run-ups - the ones I've visited firsthand and carefully selected after exhaustive research and quality controls - simply take a trial of my Mining Speculator advisory.

When you sign up for Mining Speculator, I will immediately send you the free report on the new gold-backed currency mentioned in this editorial.

So, for only $25 you'll begin to receive my Mining Speculator junior stock advisory... one that held an average 212% gain over five years... plus you'll get our new special report on "The World's Only 100% Backed-by-Gold Bank."

The $700 Billion Bailout

Regardless of what you may have heard from the powers that be in the last few days concerning the financial crisis, rest assured that the $700 billion bailout bill doesn't even scratch the surface in solving the financial problems that exist. This is evident in the 550 point drop in the Dow this morning.

In my opinion, this bailout bill is akin to trying to put a band-aid on a massive structural crack in the middle of the Hoover Dam. It simply is not going to change the outcome of this mess one iota. The dam is going to break.

The results of all this stupidity, manipulation, utter corruption and greed on the part of these financial institutions will be a crashing dollar and a horrendous depression. I wish it was otherwise, but I see no alternatives at this point. It's just a matter of time.

As I have said time and time again; Central banks and governments are completely incapable of preventing what is coming. Sure they will try their various ineffective interventions, but before long the dam is going to break and the flood waters will rage.

Over the past several days, the President, the Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve Chairman prostrated themselves before the Congress and the American people in absolute desperation. As the ugly truths began to seep out from behind closed doors "We the People" began to take more notice.

Subscribers of Gold World knew this was coming. Unfortunately, as I have been saying, this is only the second inning in a terrible nine inning ballgame. It is going to get much, much worse.

The $700 Billion Bailout Bill Blunder

Don't listen to the lies stating that this bailout bill is going to bring an end to the financial problems. This is not true. There is going to be wave after wave of this financial carnage as the derivative meltdown continues to ripple throughout the system. Over the next several days they'll likely be telling us that the bailout bill, "was never meant to be a quick fix, and that it will be a long-term solution" Don't buy it!

On top of this, problems with "commercial paper" will be the next new buzz word the public hears that is going south.

How big is the problem?

The FDIC's list of problem institutions has only 117 financial houses with $78 billion in assets. But given the current $700 billion bailout bill, it is clear that Administration officials tacitly recognize that the FDIC list understates the problem. There are many more financial institutions at risk or in need of assistance with their toxic paper.

How many more?

Martin Weiss who has a service that identifies problem banks recently stated from his analysis that 1,479 FDIC member banks are at risk of failure with total assets of $2.4 trillion. In addition, 158 savings and loans are at risk with $756 billion in assets. In sum, banks and S&Ls at risk have assets of $3.2 trillion, or over 36 times the assets of banks on the FDIC's watch list. These numbers alone indicate what a joke the $700 billion bailout bill represents.

Therefore, regardless of what Congress decides in the coming weeks, investors should continue to seek the safest havens for their money and pursue investment strategies designed to build wealth in a crisis.

Ownership of physical gold and silver holdings has never been so important. Dialing in your portfolio with the best gold and silver mining stocks will prove extremely valuable as well.

I recently returned from the Silver Summit where I had ample opportunity to talk with friends, associates, investors, junior miners, and bullion dealers.

Everyone seems to be in the same boat with regards to obtaining physical metals. Bullion dealers across the country are saying they can't get any silver for investors who would like to purchase. At AmeriGold this has been the case for the last six trading days. In ten years of operating AmeriGold I have never seen a situation like this. Had I been able to sell silver the last several days, we would have had almost $3 million dollars in sales. Unfortunately, there is no silver to be had at the moment, which tells you that something is grossly amiss in our market.

As far as gold is concerned, we can still get eagles, buffalo gold coins, Swiss 20 Francs, and limited supplies of bars. How long that will last I am not sure, but one fact is very clear to me and that is the precious metals prices are going to explode to the upside at some point. This in turn will launch our mining stocks once again.

So stay focused and be extremely leery of anything that comes from the mouths of Paulson, Bernanke and their gang of financial hoodlums. As one congressmen recently stated, "I wouldn't trust these people to give me the correct time of day!"

Until next time,

Buy Gold Now

"Investors in gold are demanding "unprecedented" amounts of bullion bars and coins and moving them into their own vaults as fears about the health of the global financial system deepen. Industry executives and bankers at the London Bullion Market Association annual meeting said the extent of the move into physical gold was unseen and driven by the very rich."
— Financial Times, September 30, 2008

"Business must go on."

That's what our government officials (unofficially, Wall Street's lap dogs) are pleading before Congress this week.

These are the same people who have been telling us time and time again that all is well, and not to worry.

They were able to convince the masses that the U.S. dollar was strong, the American economy financially sound, and Wall Street still the envy of the world.

Now they're whistling a completely different tune.

Those of us sounding the warning bells regarding those fantasies were largely ignored and written off...

... "gloom and doomers"... paranoid, bearded mountain men sporting tinfoil hats.

It's the same response we heard back in 2001... when a smart minority began screaming to buy gold.

And here we are six years later, still screaming... BUY GOLD!

Meanwhile, after one spectacular failure on Monday...

...The $700 billion bailout plan got a second life Wednesday speeding toward passage in the Senate.

Senators added a couple tax breaks and other incentives for the right and left, hoping to secure approval in the House today.

"Sweeteners," these incentives are being called... most of them merely extensions on current programs that should-in a sane Congress-pass on their own merits.

But wait. There was something new.

Republicans included an increase on the limit on the Federal Bank Deposit Insurance (FDIC), from $100,000 to $250,000.

Are these just more promises they won't be able to keep?

The fact is that cash reserves held by the FDIC have now slipped below the minimum level set by Congress... and now sit at only $45.2 billion.

That's $45 billion... to back up $5 trillion in deposits!

The government is trying to keep an elephant balanced on a 10-foot long toothpick. Sooner rather than later, that elephant is going to fall.

Still, where does that leave us?

We're left with pretty much the same bailout deal we had last week... devoid of any fundamental changes.

Look—the passage of the bailout will prop up the markets and U.S. dollar in the short-term. No doubt about it. But there's simply no bailout, no matter how big, that can solve the deep-rooted problems in the U.S. credit markets.

It is only a matter of time before the whole enchilada collapses.

And That's Exactly When You Want to Own Gold!

All of this Fed and government intervening in markets has only made matters worse.

The consequences of decades-long abuse of our credit systems have caught up to us like the Black Plague. Only, it's not killing off our populations... it's wiping out our assets.

Last Monday alone, $1.4 trillion in wealth disappeared from the American economy. We're witnessing a cataclysmic vortex of wealth destruction, which—for those who are unprepared—will only grow deeper.

Fortunately, this financial pandemic affords a few ways to make money while others suffer. All you need is the guts to accept the truth behind what's happening.

What's Not to Like about an Average Gain of 212% Over 5 Straight Years?

The problems with the U.S. dollar-based financials are nothing new. We've watched the value of the U.S. dollar fall like a led zeppelin over the past 6 years. During that time, gold, silver and other commodity prices increased. And we made ridiculous profits in junior gold and mining stocks the whole way.

And another meteoric rise in junior gold stocks is just around the corner...

Gold, silver, and many other commodities are getting ready to skyrocket. Of course, the current financial crisis has taken a significant toll on junior stocks, pushing many to multi-month-and even multi-year-lows.

It's all adding up to what could become the biggest buying opportunity for junior gold and silver stocks ever!

We're on the verge of a breakout run. And it's not uncommon for junior gold stocks to experience huge gains (tenfold or more) very quickly as news of a discovery leaks out.

On top of that, the evolving bull market in precious metals not only focuses more attention on the sector, but also causes even more money to be spent on exploration. And the payback for a new find increases exponentially.

There's simply no stopping gold from doubling up and hitting $2,000 an ounce. I wouldn't even be surprised at a $3,000 price target by the end of this bull market.

Regardless, U.S. dollar destruction will ensure the yellow metal's meteoric run.

Now I've been telling my readers to buy gold for almost a decade now, particularly in the junior mining sector. I know that most people have trouble accepting gold as an investment. But I also know that those who have heard me out-and followed through with my research and recommendations-have made extraordinary, life-altering returns.

Still, most will pay no attention... clinging to the same empty message from Wall Street.

But for those of you who can see the writing on the wall, there's never been a better time-a more crucial time-to protect your portfolio with gold and precious metals.

And for a limited time, there's an easy way to do precisely that... for as little as $25.

To get immediate inside access to the junior mining companies poised for major run-ups - the ones I've visited firsthand and carefully selected after exhaustive research and quality controls - simply take a trial of my Mining Speculator advisory.

While everyone else gets blindsided, you could be making a fortune with my portfolio... all within the next few months.

One Last Hurrah for the US Dollar

The fascist coup in the United States is nearly complete.

Over the past few years the U.S. government has abolished countless freedoms of the American people... all in the name of "national security."

They've spent trillions of tax dollars - forced upon citizens under penalty of imprisonment - on an imperialistic military to fight an un-winnable war on terror, while all but neglecting our growing domestic problems.

The government and CONgress protects big business to create a symbiotic business/government relationship giving supreme power to the corporate elite.

And to top it all off, they've controlled mass media (notwithstanding the internet) to put a lid on the truth.

But don't worry. They're looking out for your best interests.

One Small Step for Elitists, One Giant Leap for Fascism

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you've heard the U.S. government has now nationalized the entire mortgage industry with the acquisition of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And now, it hopes to siphon $700 billion from American taxpayers to buy up the bad debt of financial institutions for the next two years.

Now, take a second or two... and think about how much $700 billion really is. It's seven hundred thousand million dollars! $700,000,000,000.00

Another perspective: It's enough to give every man, woman, and child in the city of Philadelphia a half-million dollars.

Listen... that $700 billion figure represents about 5.2% of the entire U.S. gross domestic product in 2007.

If approved, the bailout would raise the statutory limit on the national debt 6.6%... from $10.6 trillion to $11.3 trillion.

And what will U.S. taxpayers like you and I get in return?

Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

There are no plans for new regulations or oversights to help avoid this kind of crisis in the future.
There'll be no public interest givebacks to help the people whose homes are in the hands of the banks.
And, perhaps most shockingly of all, we will get absolutely no share in the profits if these fallen-from-grace financial giants bounce back... even though we are now assuming a great deal of the risk.

This is worse than a bad deal for us. In fact, it isn't even a deal!

The new rescue plan may restore a bit of investor confidence to battered financial markets. But investors will again begin to focus on the twin budget and current-account deficits and negative real U.S. interest rates. And eventually the government's plan will derail the dollar's three-month rally, which is, in effect...

The One Last Hurrah for the U.S. Dollar

The greenback has already started to retract. The U.S. Dollar Index, a measure of the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of six foreign currencies, has pullback as much as 5.6% in the past two weeks.

Gold prices have certainly enjoyed the descending dollar. Gold has recently broken several daily movement records, including a $90.40, 11.6% one-day increase the other day. As a result, gold and gold mining stocks are starting to come back to life.

In fact, numerous stocks in the Mining Speculator portfolio have made big moves... and show no signs of slowing down. Take a look...

One stock in the MS portfolio has increased 75%... in just 7 days:

Another of our mining plays soared 134% in only 6 days:

Two other Mining Speculator stocks jumped a whopping 80% and 57% in just 3 days.

It's just the beginning of a massive upward movement we'll see in the coming weeks and months.

Mind you, while gold prices have rebounded strongly, many gold stocks have yet to follow suit... most likely due to false hopes the U.S. dollar will be able to survive.

What does it all mean?

It's simple. There's simply never been a better time to be vested in gold stocks. The sub-prime meltdown, the housing market crash, and the coming catastrophic decline of the greenback have enabled this tremendous profit opportunity.

Fortunately, there's an easy way to get your share of these most-certain profits...

The Mining Speculator Portfolio: An Average Gain of 212% Over 5 Straight Years

And it's about to get even better...

We're on the verge of a breakout run in junior gold and mining stocks. And it's not uncommon for junior mining companies to experience huge gains (tenfold or more) very quickly as news of a discovery leaks out.

On top of that, the evolving bull market in precious metals not only focuses more attention on the sector, but also causes even more money to be spent on exploration. And the payback for a new find increases exponentially.

There's simply no stopping gold from doubling up and hitting $2,000 an ounce. Dollar destruction will ensure the yellow metal's meteoric run.

Now I've been preaching gold's profit potential for much of the last decade. And, truth be told, few people paid much attention when I first began making investment recommendations in the mining sector.

Still, those who did listen have made extraordinary returns. They bought when the news concerning the mining sector was negative. Even now, few are paying any attention to the mining sector and are still being lured by the Wall Street hype and disinformation to invest in blue chips and the general stock market.

Worse, many investors are being lured by a sudden glut of gold "experts" claiming inside knowledge of gold, silver and the broader precious metals markets.

Don't believe 'em. The true experts - the ones who can deliver gains most people can only dream about - can be counted on less than two hands. I should know - I'm one of them.

That's why now, more than ever, I'm recommending every investor have some exposure in junior mineral stocks.

And there's an easy way to do just that... for as little as $25.

To get immediate inside access to the junior mining companies poised for major run-ups - the ones I've visited firsthand and carefully selected after exhaustive research and quality controls - simply take a trial of my Mining Speculator advisory. This $25 investment could make you a fortune within the next few months.

Why Invest in Precious Metals?

Junior mining stock investors are feeling "pulverized" as the precious metals and their mining stocks continue to sell-off in dramatic fashion in the face of the Lehman Brothers collapse. Investor portfolios across the board are now showing tremendous losses, causing even greater worry and concern for the U.S. financial markets than we have already experienced.

The latest cause for this activity seems to be more than just hedge fund selling and is most likely attributed to smaller investors giving up on the market. Watching these stocks lose so much of their value in the last six months has been tough to bear, even for the most seasoned investors amongst us. It now appears those with less experience in our market are starting to panic and bail. Others who simply need cash are opting for the exit now instead of waiting for what may lie ahead.

Fortunately, the volume of selling in most cases is rather low, but with so few buyers willing to offset this minimum selling pressure, prices continue to move south. The market wants to go lower, so investors with cash sense are waiting to put in their buy orders. At the moment, we just can't seem to find a bottom. The liquidity crisis appears to be spreading like a contagion to a much broader audience, all of whom need to raise cash. To raise this cash, individuals and/or companies have to sell something such as stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, silver, etc. The credit crisis that began in housing—and then infected the financial sector—is now spreading throughout the economy.

Credit is becoming harder and more costly to obtain across the board. That is making it more difficult for consumers to boost spending, and for businesses to borrow and invest in their operations. This is having a real, measurable, and severe impact on the overall economy.

Unfortunately this activity looks like it will be increasing in the future and will be felt throughout the system, not just in our mining stocks and metals prices. That is the bad news.

U.S. Financial Market Problems: Good News for Precious Metals Investing

The good news is that the confluence of problems in the financial system within the United States and elsewhere is telling me we are getting ready for explosive moves in the precious metals. The financial tsunami I have been warning about is ready to hit. I fully expect by next month that we will be hearing about a multitude of failures in the financial sector, in addition to Freddie, Fannie, and Lehman. Fed Chairman Bernanke has made some comments recently that are very telling in my opinion. A few days agos Bernanke repeated his call for Congress to provide new regulatory powers to insulate the economy from damage if a Wall Street firm collapses. He again urged congress to give the central bank explicit authority to oversee systems that process payments and other financial transactions by investment firms and banks.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks that a big investment house is about to go under. The name that is most associated with these rumors is Merrill Lynch. The Fed has been pumping massive amounts of money into the financial giant for months just to keep them afloat.

Other known suspects that are in major trouble include Washington Mutual, Wachovia, Bank of America, , Morgan Stanley and Citigroup. The sheer greed, corruption and stupidity of these firms is beyond belief. Unfortunately, for many of their unsuspecting depositors and investors, they are about to learn some terrible things about the status of their funds.

Another recent quote from a Fed official said this:

"We see that mounting losses at financial institutions, and an increasing reluctance among investors to invest new capital while the economic outlook is unclear, are forcing financial institutions to 'shrink their balance sheets.'

What he is saying is that a loan is counted as an asset on a bank's balance sheet. Banks hold capital in part as a reserve against the possibility that a loan will default. Thus banks attempt to maintain a reasonable ratio of capital to assets. If a bank experiences a reduction in the value of its capital or an increase in its assets (for example as credit lines that were extended in better times are tapped), the bank must take steps to shrink the asset side of its balance sheet in order to restore its desired capital-to-asset ratio. In other words, the bank becomes more restrictive in its lending. This shrinkage in lending entails tighter underwriting standards, wider interest rate margins, and reduced credit availability." This is all rippling through the system as you read this.

Troubled U.S. Banks

On top of this, the Wall Street Journal recently had an article talking about 117 banks are now on the FDIC problem list. In my opinion that number is very conservative and is just the beginning of what is to come with the financial carnage that lies ahead in our near future.

The Fed response in dealing with this mess will be their predictable bail-out talk and need for more regulatory power. But with so many large firms in trouble and losses in the trillions there simply is not enough money on the planet to do so. At some point, the Fed will become a triage ward where they will ascertain who they can help and who they can't. It is going to be an ugly reality faced by all Americans. Can you imagine how those will feel that didn't get the bailout versus those that did? Or what happens when (soon in my opinion) the FDIC and SIPC reserves are used up and hundreds of banks are still imploding into oblivion? These are sobering questions but realities that are soon to make headlines in mainstream America.

Other very strong rumors are starting to circulate that foreign countries such as Russia, Germany, China and others have had their fill with US T-bonds and may opt to start dumping them very soon. This has always been the moment in my opinion where the U.S. Dollar scam will come to a very rapid and abrupt close. If foreign countries start forming alliances to dump their U.S. T-bond holdings in an attempt to change the current U.S. Dollar hegemony, then life as we've know it in America is over. It's that simple.

What Does This Mean for Precious Metals & Junior Mining Stocks?

I want to repeat what I have been saying the past few years that "this volatility in our market is going to get worse, much worse" and "before we get to the parabolic moves that many of us anticipate and hope for, we may have to experience some dreadful downside periods'.

We are experiencing that downside volatility in its greatest degree at the moment. It may get even worse, but what this indicates to me is that we are probably getting ready for explosive moves in the metals prices which in turn will ignite junior mining stocks. I never said this was going to be easy, I only said it would be worth it for those who could ride out the downside volatility and eventually reap the biggest rewards yet as the prices for the precious metals and junior mining stocks go into the stratosphere.

I know how difficult this must be for many of you. At times you must feel like road-kill that has now been sliced, diced, ground up and spit out. And just when you've gotten to the point where you were hoping and expecting things to go our way, we find out we're about to be grilled. Agggh!!!

One subscriber I recently talked with described what he was feeling and said, "I feel as if I am walking on a very narrow balance beam that narrows even more as you try to move forward. The balance beam is stretched across a deep canyon. Falling off to either side is catastrophic but moving forward to try and get the reward is getting more and more difficult." It's incredibly nerve wracking but I continue to hold the precious metals because it one of the few things that makes any sense in the current situation".

There is no doubt that these are the kind of times that try our souls. How we manage though at moments like these may make all the difference. I say hang in there and stay the course. Don't be shaken off. Hold on even tighter.

Junior Mining Stocks: Their Time is Coming

I also want to emphasize just how quickly things can change with our junior mining stocks. This market can turn on a dime as any of the above financial scenarios I've described begin to play out. Our time is definitely coming.

With each passing month, the quality junior mining shares are increasingly being picked up and held by stronger hands that have no intention of selling at current levels and have the staying power to wait things out. The weak hands (funds and those who need to sell for liquidity purposes) will eventually disappear and the shares will form a base from which they can move higher. As proof of that, if you try to buy large blocks of any of our good stocks right now, you can't buy them at current levels without taking the price much higher.

As the world comes to grips with the new economic realities of our times, the move by panicked depositors and citizens into the precious metals will be one for the record books. Those who managed to hold on will reap the greatest rewards. Those that didn't will be wishing they had.
