What Are Micheal Maloney and Simon Black Teaching About Wealth Strategies of the Rich?

Who are your financial advisers? How much wealth have they accumulated? I speak to the middle class American who followed the common practice of investing in a Roth IRA & 401K plan, like me, and have watched those investments dwindle as well as our hopes and dreams of retirement.

Here's a brief re-cap of the seven stages every single empire has gone through...

Stage 1: A country starts out with good money, which is either gold or backed by gold.

Stage 2: As it develops economically and socially, it begins to take on more and more economic burdens, adding layer upon layer of public works and social programs.

Stage 3: As its economic affluence grows so does its political influence, and it increases expenditures to fund a massive military.

Stage 4: Eventually it puts its military to use, and expenditures explode.

Stage 5: To fund the war, the costliest of man's endeavors, it steals the wealth of its people by replacing their money with currency that can be created in unlimited quantities.

It does this at the outbreak of war, as in the case of WW I, during the war as in Vietnam, or as a perceived solution to the economic ravages of previous wars.

Stage 6: Finally, the wealth transfer caused by expansion of the currency supply is felt by the population as severe consumer price inflation, triggering a loss of faith in the currency. (This is where we stand today).

Stage 7: An en mass movement out of the currency into precious metals and other tangible assets take place, the currency collapses, and massive wealth is transferred to those who had enough foresight to position their money into the right asset class before hand... (gold & silver)

So if we are in the midst of economic hyperinflationary depression for the first time in global history, what can you and I do about it. How can we protect what little we have and prepare for our families to survive and thrive through these times? It is a scary subject but one to be hopeful about and start acting NOW.

Many lifetime investors think buying gold and silver is crazy talk because they have 30 years of investments to show for the safe and predictable market growth but as a new kid on the block with zero preconceived notions clouding my judgment as to how things should or should not be, it's an outcome that is as clear and inevitable as day. It is a process that every single nation who has played with fiat currencies has succumbed to since the fall of the Roman Empire. 30 nations over the last 100 years to be exact.

So buying gold and silver has nothing to do with the actual desire for the metals, and everything to do with the desire to avoid the consequences that will come with the death of the Dollar. For example, if you buy 100 silver coins at $30 a coin you now have $30,000 invested but as the dollar drops and silver goes from $30 an oz. to $1000 an ounce you now have $100,000 for the price of $30,000 and you can pay off mortgages or buy houses with it. Real property investments. This is just one strategy of the rich that I have learned from becoming a member of the Elevation Group. It is a brilliant strategy and one that Michael Maloney, Robert Kiyosaki's financial adviser suggests doing.

There are some very important issues to understand: The U.S. is essentially privately owned by the Federal Reserve. It can not print its own money and is funded completely by the Federal Reserve which was created in 1913 by a few men on Jekyll Island. We are currently facing the first Global Economic depression in history & NOW is the time to know exactly what to do & when so that you can protect your finances and make millions during this economic collapse (more millionaires were made during the great depression than ever before so let's not lose hope, let's take MASSIVE action NOW).

First of all, if you are reading and thinking "I have nothing to invest" I completely understand and empathize. The best part about this is that you can start small and gain big by buying non-numismatic silver eagle coins to get started in the right direction. Robert Kiyosaki says, silver is "the investment move of our lifetime." At this time 1 oz. of silver is worth $27.64 so you can get started investing and build wealth 1 coin at a time.

My family and I chose to become members of The Elevation Group becaue we desperately needed guidance and insight during these times. We have always been told, find someone who has what you want and do what they do. Problem is that many of these people don't have the time or the interest in helping me. With the Elevation Group we are learning how to set up our family trust, diversify our investments, what to buy & sell and when but best of all it is from people like Michael Maloney of Goldsilver.com & Simon Black of Sovereignman.com & many more.

These individuals have all been brought together by Mike Dillard of The Elevation Group @ www.theelevationgroupllc.com to take us inside the secret "black box" of the rich and teach us how to build lasting wealth for generations to come. I look forward to creating real wealth for my children and hope you choose to also.

Income Investing In Uncertain Times

Please do not pay any attention to the elephant in the room. While you read this commentary, it won't help to focus on the elephant. So it is the end of 2010 and I would like to take this opportunity to make a few observations about the economy, the demographics of the United States and the future. And remember: don't think about the elephant as I will discuss the elephant towards the end.

In the beginning of 2010, most prognosticators were negative on the stock market and skeptical about the resilience of the recovery. For example, Fortune Magazine predicted a coming collapse in the market because stock prices were "startlingly expensive." During the first nine months of 2010, mutual fund investors pulled over $150 billion out of equity funds and poured it into bond funds. This occurred as the stock market rose. In fact, the Standard and Poor's 500 total return was around 15% for the year.

During the month of December, the yield on the ten year U.S. Treasury bond rose from 2.5% to 3.5%. Because bonds trade inversely with interest rates, the ten year Treasury lost about 8% in market value. Those who bailed out of the stock market in order to invest in these "safe" bonds will not be encouraged when they open their year end bond fund statements. They will have missed the recovery in stocks and experienced a loss in "secure" ten year U.S. Treasuries. The rise in ten year rates is an early indication of inevitable inflation because when the "Fed prints dollar bills, inflation, its value kills."

Demographics - Once our Friend!

The final 2010 U.S. Census data is not yet out, however, there are some disturbing estimates based on the previous census. Between 2010 and 2025, the number of the most productive people (age 50) will decline by over ten percent. The number of retirement age folks (people reaching age 65) will increase by almost eighty percent. I really don't like these numbers. In fact, I hate them. Because it makes me feel that no matter what stimulus the government provides, no matter what tax cuts are enacted, no matter how much more deficit spending the government creates, no matter how much we mortgage our children's future, there are going to be eighty percent more retirement age workers to care for and ten percent less workers to do the job.

So I will take the positive stock market returns from 2010 and I will be very happy. I will keep my eye on the short term swings. I, along with everyone else, will endeavor to keep my head in the sand and simply refuse to look at the demographics.

The Elephant

Maybe if we all ignore the elephant in the room, he will go away. The elephant grows bigger as the Federal debt grows larger. He is so big now that he can no longer exit through the door. I am worried that if he tries to force himself through the door, he may bring the house down. And we keep feeding him! A trillion dollars this year, two trillion last year, one and half trillion dollars next year - he is getting really big!

OK. We have an elephant in the room. At some point he is going to start smelling like inflation. He will reek of lower GDP. And he is going to require more than deficit spending to survive. He is going to need higher taxes.

How to Protect Yourself from the Elephant

You need to create (and live in) your own insulated protective biosphere. That is why most MLP experts are recommending Master Limited Partnerships. Income advisors, who really understand MLPs, recognize that MLPs have historically raised distributions during periods of inflation. They also have paid out tax deferred income. They also have a record of reliability. Tax deferral, tax deferred income, reliability, inflation protection, and a history of performance, make MLPs a great way to build you're your protective biosphere. Even though you may still see the elephant, you won't have to smell him. He is not leaving.

Know More About International Bank Transfers

Nothing impresses your friends more than a perfect lip line, because it is the hardest makeup application to do.To get it, avoid applying the lip pencil too heavily, which will be difficult to blend and soften into the lipstick. Keeping your mouth closed lightly trace the lip line with the lip pencil so it can barely be seen, but can be used as a guide line.

Hold the brush horizontally to trace along the lip line, and do a little bit at a time, backing up and going over it again. Don't try to get the whole line in one stroke. The best lip brush is a sable with a slightly tapered edge, not straight one.

This provides more control and a cleaner line.If you are really pressed for time, apply lipstick only on the bottom lip and press your lips together. Then, blend out to the lip line with the edge of a lip brush, not the tip, for a precise line, or use a dampened cotton swab for a soft, natural lip line.

When finished, instead of blotting the lips by biting a tissue, lay the tissue across both lips while your mouth is closed. This will imprint your lips, including the edges of the mouth where lipstick usually bleeds. Perfect!

Car Insurance for Break-Ins

Break-ins can leave you feeling frustrated and vulnerable. No one wants to walk to their car to see the window broken, the glove compartment open and items strewn all over the front seat. Having to go through your mind on what could possibly be missing is difficult. Maybe the stereo face has been taken or perhaps other electronics are gone.

If this has happened to you before, you know the process. You should go to the police station. You will fill out a case report citing anything missing from your vehicle and its estimated value. They give you a copy of the report and send you on your way. Usually, the items never surface and you go on with your day.

When you are insured for break-ins, the process may go a little differently. Of course, you still need to contact the police and fill out a case report with items missing and their value. After you have completed this process and gotten a copy of your report, call your agent. You should have the case number handy.

Note that talking with your agent about the break-in may cause your rate to rise slightly. Because the company that insures you will see your vehicle as a bit of a liability to insure, they may need to charge a little more. However, the only way you can recover any money to take care of the damages is by talking with your agent. The agent will do their best to keep your rate low. Depending on your vehicle's history, they may see the event as random and not recurring, meaning that it will not likely happen again.

When you talk to your agent, ask them about your car insurance rate. They will be able to let you know whether or not it is likely to go up due to the incident. Ask when you are likely to see the rate hike. Chat with them about your homeowner's premium and whether you can expect it to rise when you turn in the list of items missing that are not covered by the car insurance. Your agent will be able to give you a good idea about your other premiums.

There are some other basic questions you should be prepared to ask your agent. What is covered if the car received damage? What is covered if there was no damage incurred? What is covered if the contents are never recovered or are damaged when recovered? You will also want to discuss the timeline of compensation. Ask your agent when you can expect to see payment on items stolen or compensation for replaced windows, locks and stereo equipment.

There is no easy way to deal with a vehicle break-in. When your automobile is broken into, it is always frustrating. However, with proper car insurance, it becomes a bit easier to deal with the clean up.

You can also use blogs to strengthen relations with existing consumers of your services. Blogging is an excellent device to spin some bucks, but it is not as easy as it looks. It needs as much work to be put in as in any other job.
