OUR FAILED BOND MARKET: Inflation Arrives!
Have you noticed that the
interest rates for bonds, including Treasury bonds, are soaring?
This is a big problem. You might think it would be good for savers,
but it's not and here's why. Let's say you buy a $1000 bond now with
a 5% interest rate of return. That probably sounds pretty good until
you realize that just a couple of months ago, that same bond
probably had a 3% interest rate attached to it or maybe even less.
If you wait another month, they will probably offer you 6%, then 7%
a month or so later. This is the problem. We're now in the phase of
inflation, when interest rates are going to continue going up.
This means if you buy that 5% bond today, in a month or two,
you'll be sorry. You won't be able to sell that 5% bond
easily, once rates go up again. That means if you need the money,
you won't be able to get all your money out of it. You will have to
sell it at a discounted value. But even if you hold it to maturity,
you are still losing money. You could have had a higher rate of
return if you had waited and not bought the 5% bond. So you lose
money by holding the bonds too.
This is known as a "failed
bond market" and it means you can't win at this market. No matter
what you do, you lose by holding bonds. So if you own bonds, now
would be a good time to get out, before inflation goes up any
higher. Get some gold instead.
The consequences of this
failed bond market are plenty. First of all, it means that ALL
interest rates will go up now, especially since US Treasuries have
failed. Yes, US Treasury bond prices have plunged faster than at any
other time in our history. They're doing so because of the enormous
deficit the US government is running and a lack of confidence that
it can ever get out from under this enormous debt. At the moment,
the federal deficit for this year (2009) is estimated to be
$1.84 trillion or 13.4% of the Gross Domestic Product. But the
actual deficit could end up being a great deal larger, since the
estimate includes the assumtion that the economy will turn around
and get better. This is the largest US deficit in history, and it's
now a vertical spike on a graph, going straight up!
Why
can't the Fed buy up some bonds and make it all OK? It's been trying
to do so for the past two months, but it hasn't worked. In fact the
Fed has bought over $145.5 billion in bonds since March 25th, the
largest buying spree ever by the Fed. But in order to buy up enough
bonds to make a real difference, the Fed would have to print more
money. That would be counter productive, since printing more dollars
would just increase inflation and make bond prices drop even
further.
So, because the Fed cannot stop this, we can expect
to see bond prices plunge for the rest of the year, as inflation
rises and interest rates climb. Remember that we have an
inflationary cycle now through December (Jupiter conjunct Chiron and
Neptune) and these planets have been associated with stagflation in
the past. What will this mean for your investments? Hopefully that
you aren't in bonds!
I still recommend gold as a good
investment. Last year I finally convinced my parents to invest in
some gold. The price then was around $670 per ounce. Now the spot
price is over $960 per ounce. How many investments do you own that
have increased by over 43% in less than a year? If you think
the price of gold is high now, wait until you see what
happens to it after another 6 - 7 months of stagflation! If
possible, get real gold coins, preferably standard coins like gold
Eagles, Maple Leafs, Kruggerands, Croners, etc,
If you
are planning to make a major purchase, I encourage you to make it
sooner than later. That will allow you to get lower rates
than will be available in another month or two.

_____________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING OUR NEW FALL
PROGRAM:
8 KEYS TO THE ULTIMATELY PROSPEROUS
BUSINESS
STARTS OCTOBER 7TH Are you ready to
give up scarcity and start creating prosperity in spite of the
economy? At times like these, it's easy to buy into the "hard times"
story that the media keeps delivering, which keeps us in
fear. The more we worry about money, feel tense due to lack of
money, or just focus on not having enough, the more we push money
and customers away at the energetic level. You might not
notice this happening, but the proof is there in your bank
account.
Eight Keys to the Ultimately Prosperous Business
provides a road map to personal and business prosperity
by understanding the subtle energies behind prosperity.
Unbeknownst to most of us, we've been thoroughly trained to believe
in scarcity and to push money away unconsciously. Is it truly
possible that no amount of action can make up for energetically
pushing money away? Yes it's true. This is why we encourage you to
learn more and register for our fall prosperity program. Find out
how you can accomplish more while doing less, by learning how to
work in harmony with the Universe.
This is an 8 -
month program from October - June (no classes in Dec), with a money
back guarantee. Each month has a class, followed two weeks later
by a group coaching session. There are two easy payment plans,
(monthly or a single, discounted fee) and all the classes are taught
via telephone. Study Guides and permanent, online recordings are
provided via the Member's web site.

Friday, May 29th: New Techniques for
Healing Emotional Trauma
Trauma impacts our current life experience with unconscious
behaviors, disease, and addictions. Old wounds of the past keeps us
transfixed by fear, anger, and grief. Trauma falls within a spectrum
of little “t” traumas such as, shame, embarrassment, and
idealization to big “T” traumas such as physical, emotional, and
mental abuse. When a traumatic experience happens, an imbalance is
created and the individual experiences triggers in their environment
that takes them back to the original trauma. For some, they may
experience negative emotions without knowing their origin. Energy
therapy is quick, without years and years of traditional talk
therapy. When the energy work is done, the trauma feels like it is
in the past and not like it “just happened.” Discover how you can
heal and release old traumas quickly.
