Given the state of affairs around the globe
it’s no surprise that many people are looking for ways to diversify
their wealth into crisis investments. Navigating through the oft
manipulated economic and financial numbers can be a daunting task,
especially because the world’s geo-political climate is a powder
keg that’s primed to explode at any time.
What we know is that time is not on our
side. What we don’t know is when the pin will finally get
pulled and exactly how events will unfold once it happens.
In
an effort to help us guide our outlook and understand the various
levels upon which the global chess game is being played we often turn
to Marin Katusa, Chief Financial Strategist at the well known
research and advisory firm of Casey
Research. As
Marin notes, there is a lot of risk out there right now, and most
people don’t see it.
History is replete with examples of people who
ignored the early warning signs and bought into the hype, only to be
left holding the bag when those on the inside track exited ahead of
the collapse. Today is no different and there is no shortage of fools
waiting to be parted from their money. Don’t be one of them.
Doug
and I are firm believers that you’re either a contrarian or you’re
a victim… it’s important to understand your own risks and your
own time frame of investment… so that’s the first thing.
Don’t
miss the following interview from Future
Money Trends,
where Marin explores a wide range of strategies designed to
protect your wealth and well
being.
Right
now there are millions of people looking at their stock portfolios,
401k’s, and IRA’s with a huge smile on their faces. The Dow Jones is at
all time highs, after all.
What they don’t realize is that
they are likely invested in companies that are priced 100 or 500 times
their actual earnings. It’s a huge risk that has backfired more times
than we care to count.Look at the
evaluations, utilities for example. We just published a report in our
Energy Report saying what stocks to stay away from. Where a railway is
getting 100 times earnings, a railway. That makes absolutely no sense,
but it pays a 4% yield, it’s pretty safe. So people are over-paying by
five times, I would argue even six times, for a 4% yield.That’s how desperate investors are for yield.But eventually someone’s going to get stuck holding this massive bomb on their hands.
So I have to urge all viewers,
as I’ve been doing to my subscribers, to be very careful, have trailing
stops, and we’ve had an unbelievable market here…The key is to take profits, reduce your risks, mitigate your risks.Whether your personal approach
to preparing for the coming calamity involves structuring your
investments in a well diversified global stock portfolio or focuses more
on a ‘preparedness pantry’ portfolio, the information Marin shares is
key to understanding what investments to avoid, how to find the diamonds
in the rough, and ways to insulate yourself against any number of
worst-case scenarios.The important thing is, as
Marin notes, to mitigate your risk. That means watching and
understanding the complexities of the global economy, financial markets
and investment capital flows, all of which are an essential aspect of
the geo-political climate.If, for example, Russia and
China stop investing in America’s debt then we may see the dollar
collapse. They may simultaneously implement trade restrictions and hold
on to their natural resources like oil, gas, uranium and gold. The
obvious effect would be a massive spike in not only those resources, but
other commodities like food which will skyrocket in tandem.It is for this reason that trend strategists like Marin Katusa and Doug Casey are accumulating crisis investments such Brazil Resources,
precious metals, productive land, and a host of other assets being
ignored by the majority of investors who find their “tips” via their
favorite mainstream TV channel.The way to invest in these
“crisis assets” depends on your means, capabilities and current
portfolio. For some, especially those who have existing stock
investments tied to retirement accounts, your choices are limited to
either withdrawing your money with heavy penalties or positioning your
holdings in advance in such a way that they will benefit when everything
else goes under. For others, who shy away from stocks, bonds and
currencies, looking to physical assets in these same sectors – food,
energy, precious metals – will have similar results.The strategy to implement now
is to avoid what’s hot at the company water cooler and invest in assets
that will be worth something after this economic bomb detonates.Please Spread The Word And Share This Post
