THE US DOLLAR AND GOLD Have
you been wondering if you should sell your gold and invest in US
dollars instead? The short answer is NO, but here's the
explanation. To some extent, the sovereign debt problems of
the euro, are a bit like the old joke of two campers who awake in the
middle of the night to find a bear outside their tent. One of the
campers races to put on his shoes, while the other one tells him that
he can't out run a bear. The first camper replies, "Who needs to outrun
a bear? I only need to outrun YOU!" So the US dollar looks good now in
comparison to the euro, but not for long.
Here's an example of what the US government owes in broad strokes (From Uncommon Wisdom's, Larry Edelson):
- The official national debt is $13.1 trillion
- Unfunded federal obligations of Social Security, Medicare,
government pensions and more equal $107.8 trillion
- The U.S. Federal deficit is $1.6 trillion
- Expect another $9 trillion in cumulative deficits over the next ten
years
- Plus there's $3.5 trillion owed to foreign investors
- Plus another trillion dollars for health care reform
Grand total of U.S debts: $136 TRILLION. Even if you leave out
the next ten years and health care reform, it's still $126 TRILLION.
Back in May 2005, (only 5 years ago) USA Today reported that this total
was $53.6 TRILLION back then. Essentially these obligations have more
than doubled in just 5 years. (We're in the vertical portion of a
hockey stick or J - curve) Do you really think that's going to get paid
back? Even my 90 year-old mother would tell me to "wake up and die
right" at the mere suggestion! Larry Edelson (http://www.uncommonwisdomdaily.com) says that even if the US government could pay back $100 million per day, starting now, that it would still take 3450 years
for the government to pay off all it's debt and obligations (for the
$136 trillion). So let's get real. Even if I wasn't an astrologer
looking at the USA and Federal Reserve charts, I would tell you to get
out of the US dollar and get into gold, silver, platinum, palladium,
copper, aluminum or tin. ANY metal would be better than the US
dollar. As I've mentioned before, the US government and the
Federal Reserve have only one tool in their tool box and it's to
devalue the US dollar, so that they pay back this deficit with dollars
that aren't worth so much. They do this by printing more and more
dollars and in the last several years they've devalued the dollar by
over 30%. Their only other choice is to default.
Now how much
longer do you think we have before the US government finally cries
"UNCLE" and defaults on its Treasury bonds? My best astrological guess
is April 2014, but it could happen sooner, or even as late as March
2015. This is why I have written so extensively about the Federal
Reserve's negative impact on our dollar. It's about to help us
bankrupt the country.
All of this is headed for some type of
culmination this summer, when both the USA Venus (representing banking
and the US dollar) and the Federal Reserve's charts are headed into
major, and unprecedented challenges. Although the euro is also
headed into the frying pan, be aware that investors are likely to wake
up to the reality that the US debts cannot get paid back. And they are
likely to do so this summer.
On just the opposite track, gold
is now in it's usual slow season, when it typically drops in price
during the summer months. But come fall, gold is likely to take off
like a rocket when we hit the Venus
retrograde (Red Contracts) during October and November. How
far can the price of gold go? It depends on how the federal government
handles this sovereign debt crisis. If they ignore it until it crashes,
then gold could go to $5000 per ounce. If they create an orderly
decline to the dollar, then probably gold will top out around
$2300 per ounce. Something in- between could yield $3000 per ounce
or higher.
You can buy gold and other metals through
Electronically Traded Funds, like GLD or IAU. You can also buy metal
index funds like (these are recommended by Larry Edelson): Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX) U.S. Global Investors World Precious Minerals Fund
(UNWPX) U.S. Global Investors Gold and Precious Metals Fund (USERX)And
of course you can buy gold coins like American Eagles or Canadian Maple
Leafs. Plus you can buy mining stocks. I usually don't recommend these,
because you're buying a lot more than the metal when you do so, but
it's another possibility.Now how much gold or other metals should you have in your portfolio? Larry Edelson says up to 25%. These are unusual times we're in and the standard rules of investing are stretched. Whatever
you do, don't believe that you're buying gold at it's high. If you look
at the high for gold in inflation-adjusted terms, the high for gold in
1980 was the equivalent of $2300 now. There is plenty of room for
gold to go up in price and to protect your wealth as it does so. Lastly,
I am often asked if I believe that the US government will make it
illegal to own gold again and force people to turn it into the
government as it did before? My answer remains the same: What the
government could get away with back then in the 1930s, it cannot do today. We'd have another revolution! So protect your wealth and get some gold or other metals into your portfolio. ______________________________________________ FINISH DEEP CLEANING BY JULY 20TH We're
down to the finish line folks! Next Wednesday, July 21st, Saturn moves
into the sign of Libra, where it will stay for two years. So it's
very important while Saturn is still in the sign of Virgo (the sign
that believes cleanliness is next to godliness) to get as much of those
onerous, deep cleaning jobs done. You know the ones I'm talking about.
You've probably been put them off for the last two years! Now
why is it important to do this? Won't that cleaning wait? After all,
it's probably been waiting for months or years! Here's why and believe
me, this is more important than you may realize.
1) The more
you use this opportunity to clean out closets, drawers, cupboards,
filing cabinets, boxes, garages, storage units, etc., the more you will
have new and unexpected opportunities that "pop out of the woodwork"
this summer (Jupiter and Uranus conjunct in Aries). 2)
Once Saturn moves into the sign of Libra on July 21st, where it will
immediately be involved in multiple major challenges all at once,
there won't be time to do this stuff. A LOT of changes and challenges
will hit the fan at the same time, leaving no time for cleaning out old
junk, clutter, etc. 3) So if you don't get stuff cleaned out by next
Tuesday, July 20th, (while the energies are there to help you) you're
likely to miss some amazing opportunities that could come to you this
summer.
Just choose to clean up your worst mess, your most
onerous task that you've avoided for several months or even the past
two years. I've been warning you about this for awhile and I hope
you've been working on this. If so, congratulations and expect those
opportunities to appear soon. ______________________________________________ THE CONSCIOUS CONVERGENCE JULY 17-18th Next
March, the Mayan Calendar enters it's final period of transforming
consciousness. In the Mayan calendar, this is known as the Universal
Underworld and it only lasts 260 days. Essentially we'll do the same
amount of transformation in those 260 days as we're now doing in
the 12.8 years prior to that time. And we're now doing the same
amount of transformation in these 12.8 years as we did in the previous
254 years. Get the picture?
Next year, not one, but NINE Mayan calendars will complete and this
Saturday and Sunday, we have an opportunity to prepare for this
unprecedented situation. The purpose of these nine calendars completing
together next year is to create unity consciousness. In the words of
Carl Johan Calleman, who wrote the book, The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness,: "Unity consciousness does not mean conformism or that everyone is shaped in the
same mold to think or look alike. Rather, unity consciousness will generate a
world that is the very opposite to conformist. Because unity consciousness is
about transcending the judgmental dualities and inherent dominance mentality
generated by lower waves it allows for a much wider variety of viewpoints and
life styles than previously. Thus, the Conscious Convergence refers to
the coming together, convergence, of people from many different walks of life
with very different backgrounds and viewpoints to express and experience a
shared intention for the future."
Check out Carl Calleman's article about the Conscious Convergence on his web site at http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/Vision_for_ConsciousConvergence.htm Also check out the web site specifically created for this "event": http://commonpassion.org/forum/193 You
can participate in lots of different ways. There are different
gatherings for this around the world. The point is to create a
different world and it's by intention that these things change.

respond to the challenges. These consults are designed to be 45 minutes for
