Finally a Presidential Candidate Points the Finger at Money-Printing






It took nearly 2 years of constant campaigning, but finally one of the men set to be President in 2013 said the words we’ve been waiting to hear.


EVG Research Team here, and we’ve been watching Mitt Romney and Barack Obama closely to see if either has a clue about the coming crisis. Or if they do, the courage to speak about it.


But so far, not one has mentioned the $1.5 trillion dollars waiting on hold at the Federal Banks, just waiting for the right moment to flood the economy with inflation.


Not one has suggested lowering the debt; not even with an empty campaign promise. They only promise to lower the deficit, in other words, the speed at which we grow more debt.


Not one has mentioned how we’ll manage to pay the interest on $16.2 trillion in debt when interest rates rise.


Inflation, runaway debt and sky-high interest rates will threaten hopes of retirement for a generation. 



The Elevation Group has a plan: Click here to discover our solution.


It seems the only option America will soon have is to honestly default on our debts and restructure them... or continue to manipulate our currency by printing more money to pay our debt.


We’d like to know which option the candidates would prefer, but for so long they were silent on money-printing and currency manipulation.



And Then it Finally Happened...


Someone mentioned currency manipulation. It was Mitt Romney, and he said...


China has been a currency manipulator for years and years and years. And the president has a regular opportunity to label them as a currency manipulator, but refuses to do so.


On day one, I will label China a currency manipulator, which will allow me as president to be able to put in place, if necessary, tariffs where I believe that they are taking unfair advantage of our manufacturers.


Wait. Someone finally mentions currency manipulation and we point the finger at China?


Wow. Let’s take a look...


Mitt Romney is suggesting China is a currency manipulator. Their crime is printing money to intentionally devalue the Yuan. In theory, this will make their exports cheaper and attractive to nations like the United States.

And that’s true. They did this for decades. BUT, this mostly stopped in 2005 when China depegged their currency from the dollar. Since then, the Yuan has been steadily growing in value.

In fact, in the last 7 years the Yuan has gone up in value 23% in dollars.


And on the EXACT DAY that Mitt Romney said these words, the Yuan set an opening record high versus the dollar.


So we have Mitt trying to protect us from China weakening the Yuan (when it’s actually getting stronger). And yet...


Who’s Going To Defend Us
Against the Weakening Dollar?


And why isn’t either candidate standing up against the currency manipulation of the Federal Reserve?


Since China has depegged their currency from the dollar, our Federal Reserve has had the printing-machines cranking at full gear... TRIPLING the base money-supply in just a few years.


And it was AFTER this happened that Mitt Romney said, “I think (Ben Bernanke) is doing as good a job as he thinks he can do.” And, “But look, I’m not going to spend my time going after Ben Bernanke. I’m not going to take my time and focus on the Federal Reserve.”


Yes, we can tell, Governor Romney.


How About The Other Guy?



And neither is President Obama, who reappointed Ben Bernanke even after all the money-printing skyrocketed.


To us at The Elevation Group, this is a clear sign that we should...



Find a Lifeboat, and Get In


That $1.5 trillion dollars is anxiously waiting to flood the markets, and the dam could break at any time. When it does, through “Fractional Reserve Banking” that $1.5 trillion could turn into $10-$15 trillion in no time.


That’ll send inflation through the roof and interest rates to the moon.


The only way to survive rising rates and prices is to find a lifeboat and jump in.


At The Elevation Group, we like to see ourselves as that lifeboat.


Our founder, Mike Dillard, watched his friends and family lose dearly in the 2008 financial crisis. And since then, he’s been circling the globe in search of contrarian financial experts to teach him and his family how to invest in these strange times.


And it’s worked. In the last 4 years of implementing these “black box” investment strategies of the ultra-rich... Mike has earned an average 77% annual return.


If you’d like to find out more about these “black box” strategies... AND how to climb into The Elevation Group’s lifeboat before the crisis really hits, then go here now: 

Why Silver Could Be Better than Gold.

silver prices
 We’ve been writing a lot about precious metals lately. For good reason, too.


Metals have been in a slump over the last year and we wanted to clue you in to what’s going on.


As you know, our goal is to empower each of our members to make his or her own investment decisions. That doesn’t mean you do everything yourself. In fact, we strongly suggest you hire the best experts you can find to take care of the details.


But ultimately, you have to make the call. It’s your money!


And to make an informed decision, you need to be, well ... informed.


So lately we’ve been talking a lot about the price of gold and how to buy it and all that. But ...


Some of you have been wondering about silver. Like Rosalie, who recently wrote in:


"Hi EVG team,
Thank you for your letters. I 'get' the Gold price, but what of silver, please?
Be well, Kind regards, Rosalie"


That’s a great question, Rosalie.


And usually when we recommend investing in gold, we’re talking about precious metals in general. But gold and silver ARE different. And everyone has a different take.


So instead of pretending like we’re the only ones who “get it,” here’s the take of someone who’s NOT an EVG expert...



The Case For Silver from a Canadian Legend




Legendary resource investor Eric Sprott has 35-years of experience in the natural resource industry.


He’s built his company, Sprott Resources, into one of the largest independently owned resource investment firms in Canada.


When Eric Sprott speaks, wise investors listen... and Sprott has recently gone on record as saying, "Silver will be the investment of this decade."


In fact, Sprott went so far as to predict that silver will easily double or triple in price over the next few years.


Here are a few reasons to listen to Sprott:


He doesn’t just make bold predictions in order to sell books or get media attention (like most Wall-Street celebrities). He’s got his own money at risk in this – so he definitely works hard to get it right.


Sprott looks at the long-term fundamentals of an industry and invests accordingly.


For example, he was funding small Canadian gold companies already 10 years ago when gold was trading at $250 an ounce.


That means he was buying gold seven years earlier than high-profile hedge-fund managers like John Paulson and George Soros.


Now, with gold at roughly $1,600 per ounce, his investments have soared 500%-1,000% in value.


So does Sprott think the window of opportunity has passed? Nope. He thinks silver is going to continue to climb. He recently mentioned $100 an ounce at an investors meeting. That would be more than a 230% gain from the current price of about $30 an ounce.


He bases his prediction on fundamentals, not speculation. One of the main reasons he cites is that we're running out of silver. Here’s how he put it:


Annual [silver] production is about 900 million ounces per year, including recycling. Industrial usage alone will rise to 660 million ounces by 2015. That leaves only 240 million ounces for coinage, central bank purchases, and investment.


In case you didn’t know, industrial usage for silver is increasing. It is a major component in electronic devices and semiconductors ... plus it is now being used in electric cars batteries to boost performance.


All of these industrial uses are surging right now as the whole world (even developing nations) are demanding the convenience of smart phones and other personal electronic devices.


Demand for silver coins is also rising. U.S. retail investors have been buying up freshly minted silver coins at a record pace over the last few years.


And if the Fed announces more money printing in the future ... it will drive these purchases even higher.


Internationally, silver is more readily accepted as a store of value than in the mainstream U.S. and European financial communities.


In fact, China and India are the two largest silver-consuming countries in the world.



Some Caveats about Silver



But that is also one of silver’s “gotchas.” The economies of India and China have slowed significantly in the past year. That's a big factor in why silver prices have been trading sideways since October of 2011.


When those two nations were buying (lots of) silver back in early 2011, the price surged up. Unfortunately, it moved too fast and has suffered a major correction since then.


Also, because silver is so widely used as an industrial metal, its price often ebbs and flows with economic growth and stagnation, much the same way copper does. Economic recession (or depression) could adversely affect future silver prices.


And then, of course, there’s the threat of price manipulation. Silver is a perfect target for price manipulation for several reasons.


First, since it is considered “poor man’s gold,” first-time silver buyers who get caught up in a new price surge are often less sophisticated ... and more emotional. Professional investors use this to their advantage to profit from that lack of knowledge.


For example, many new silver investors flooded the market in 2011 when silver was soaring. Thousands of silver “newbies” bought silver for the first time when it was selling north of $45 per ounce.


Since then, the market has been shaking off these fly-by-night investors. Last week we told you about a “squeeze” going on in the gold market. The same thing has happened in the silver market.


Here’s how it works: Many large investors sold all their silver last Fall and have stayed away since. Even some of the largest banks in the world have been purposely “shorting” huge amounts of silver to keep the price low.


The purpose is to squeeze the emotional investors (newbies) out. Many people who bought their silver in 2011 and tried to hang on through the Spring and Summer of 2012 have finally thrown in the towel and sold their silver stashes ... at a loss.


Now the smart investors will start piling back in and the price will go up. For the big-time investors, it’s a rinse-and-repeat process that they use time and time again to wring profits out of the unsophisticated “newbie” market.


Little guys get caught in these kinds of squeezes all the time. Which is why if you want to buy it, you should only...

Buy Silver the EVG Way


At EVG, we don’t get caught up in the short-sighted hype or the short-term price traps.


We buy silver for the fundamental reasons that Eric Sprott mentions above (and for many other solid reasons we outline in your member‘s area).


Despite all the caveats to buying silver, we still believe it can be an important asset to own during the coming financial crash. Like gold, silver will be a very good chaos hedge.


In fact, many experts suggest having an easily accessible stash of “junk silver” as part of your emergency disaster-protection plan. (“Junk silver” is used silver coins that have no “collector” value – but still have the intrinsic value of silver).


The idea is that these small-denomination silver coins will be easy to “barter” for essential necessities in times of crisis.


Since they are easily identifiable (e.g. U.S. dimes and quarters that are pre-1965 are 90% silver), you don’t need a middle man like a coin shop to verify their worth.


But as good of a reason all this is...


...we’re banking on one other factor as a reason why silver could easily be the best investment of the decade.


Why Silver is Dramatically Undervalued




Historically, the free market has valued silver at a ratio of 12 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. This rate has been fairly consistent (between 10:1 and 16:1) for thousands of years.


The reason is simple. There is roughly 12 times more silver in the ground than gold.


But that’s changing…


There is less silver available today than ever before, and the current estimates put the available ratio at 8 to 1. Why?


As Eric Sprott mentioned above, nearly 3 out of every 4 ounces of silver that is mined or recycled is used for electronics or industrial use ... and a lot of that ends up in landfills.


So silver should be priced anywhere from 8:1 – 16:1 compared to gold.


Instead, the current silver to gold price ratio is 55:1.


That means silver would have to go up to well over a $100 per ounce right now just to come back into historical norms.


We don’t expect that to happen overnight, but it has a great chance of happening, especially when the chaos of the looming financial crash hits.



How to Get in on the Silver Rush




Just like with gold, we don’t try to “time” our silver purchases perfectly.


But we do feel this is still a good time to get in before the price takes off again.


And dollar-cost averaging by buying a set amount of silver each month is still a great way to establish your silver stash without getting emotional about the price.


There are many other things you need to research before you jump into the silver market.


It is EXTREMELY volatile (silver has traded from $3 per ounce to $48 per ounce in the last 10 years ... and it has had some major pullbacks along the way).


If you can’t handle that kind of volatility on the way to the top, then you’re better off sticking with gold.


But if you want to get in on the potentially monstrous gains that await the patient investor...


The Elevation Group gives you some incredible guidance on how to cash-in on the coming wealth transfer with silver.


There are several lessons covering this topic in your members area, but the most up-to-date is Lesson 21 - 2012 Precious Metals Update With Michael Maloney…


In it, Michael talks a lot about silver...and in fact he offers a startling recommendation on how much silver he recommends for your precious metal allocation.


If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s a great time!

Why Gold Could Be WAY More Profitable Than Just An Inflation Hedge


We’ve repeatedly made the case that precious metals, especially gold, are not so much an investment, but a hedge against inflation.


And having an inflation hedge is very important.


It preserves your hard-earned wealth from being nibbled away by yearly price increases ... or from being completely devoured by future runaway inflation.


But there’s a nasty little reality many people don’t talk about: At it’s best, an inflation hedge only keeps you “level.”


In other words, a hedge is more of a wealth preservation tool than an investment vehicle.


A good inflation hedge means that your purchasing power isn’t diminished.


Since most people own an automobile, let’s use gasoline (petrol) as an example.


Gold as a Hedge Against Gasoline Inflation



Let’s wind the clock back to April of 2009.


The world was just recovering from the bottom of the great stock market crash of 2008 (the bottom actually came in March of 2009).


All kinds of bailout money and stimulus funds were flooding the market. All those cash injections made people feel that the worst was over and that life might actually get back to normal.


Here are three key numbers from April of 2009 we are going to use to make our comparison:


1. The average price of gas was $1.95 per gallon in the U.S.


2. Gold was at $890 per ounce.


3. The average hourly salary for U.S. workers was $18.53.


Using these numbers, it would have cost $975 for a year’s worth of gas (using the US government’s estimate of 500 gallons per year for the average American).


That means the average worker had to work 52.6 hours per year just to pay for his yearly gasoline requirements.


However, the price of gas has steadily risen over the last three years.


In fact, the price of gas went from $1.95 per gallon to $3.85 in April 2012. That’s a 97.4% increase! Talk about inflation!


During that same time, the average hourly wage earner has only seen a 6.3% increase in wages.


That means you have to work a lot more to buy the same amount of gas. Here’s the table that shows it:





So, you now have to work 45.1 hours MORE each year to pay for the same amount of gas.



During that same time, the price of gold has risen 85.3%. So gold has actually been a very good hedge for gasoline prices.


Here’s another way to look at it. If you had taken the yearly amount needed for gas in 2009 ($975) and put it in a savings account, you’d now have $1,005 (at 1% interest).


If instead you had used that $975 to buy gold, your gold would now be worth $1,808.


So now your gold would still purchase about a year’s worth of gas. But the cash you kept in your bank account would only buy a half-year supply of gas.


So once again, using gold as an inflation hedge for gasoline has been great over the last 3 years.


But that’s a pretty small sample of time ... and it’s only measuring one commodity.


When we start to look at the bigger picture, we find that....


Gold Is NOT a Great Inflation Hedge


I know that probably sounds crazy coming from us here at EVG. After all, isn’t that exactly what we’ve been saying for the last two years?


Well, yes and no.


As we’ve already shown, gold HAS been a fantastic inflation hedge over the last decade or so.


But if gold were a TRUE inflation hedge, it would always protect against price inflation.


But it hasn’t.


Here’s a case in point.


Back in April of 1987, you could buy an ounce of gold for $440. During the next 17 years, the U.S. experienced a 3.5% annual inflation rate. By 2004, the price of almost everything went up by a lot...


Except gold.


If gold were a true inflation hedge, that ounce you bought in 1987 for should have gone up in price. Instead, it was only worth $405 in April of 2004.


In fact, during those intervening years, your 1987 gold purchase never once kept pace with inflation.


So why do we encourage adding gold to your investment portfolio now?


Because even though gold is a hit-and-miss inflation hedge ...



Gold Is an Awesome “Chaos Hedge”



You see, during times of economic uncertainty, gold acts like a collecting spot for all the wealth being lost elsewhere.


And if economic conditions get more chaotic in the future (we’re sure they will – see below) gold is going to blow the socks off any mere inflation hedge.


Here’s an illustration that might help:


Think of wealth like cups of water lined up on a counter top.


One cup is labeled “Stocks.”


Another is labeled “Treasury bonds.”


There’s also a “Municipal bond” cup, a “Corporate bond” cup, and a “Real Estate” cup.


They all are filled with varying amounts of water.


During times of economic stability, each cup would be about equally filled up to the halfway point.


But as economic cycles shift, the water changes cups.


Certain conditions cause investors to transfer wealth from the “Bond” cups to the “Real Estate” cup.


Other economic factors might cause people to sell their “Real Estate” and pour the proceeds into the “Stock Market” cup.


And so on.


When an economy is healthy and stable, the amount of wealth in the cups remains fairly well balanced.


But as economic conditions change, one cup gets filled too high, spills over, and causes a big mess.


That’s what happened in 2007 when the housing cup got too full. Then in 2008, the stock market cup overflowed.


A lot of that wealth overflow spilled into a cup labeled “Gold” ... which is why the price of gold has gone up so much since 2007.


Gold has simply been “collecting” much of the wealth lost in those two bubbles that burst.


But believe it or not, the gold cup is still only partially filled. And other, big bubbles are getting ready to burst.


How Full is the Gold Asset “Cup?”




Some experts say the gold cup is a quarter full. Others say even less than that.


Any way you look at it, gold is NOT the bubble that’s ready to burst now. (It will, in the future. More on that below.)


But, many people are still “afraid” of gold...or ignorant of its wealth-collecting properties. They think the cup has already reached its limit.


But during times of economic uncertainty, when no one is confident that ANY of the cups are a safe place to store their wealth, people start selling off assets and pouring that wealth into the cup labeled “Gold.”


This happened once in recent history, back in the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. Gold became so popular that everyone wanted it. Lines at coin shops snaked around corners for blocks and blocks.


Every janitor, school teacher and garbage collector wanted gold. People who knew nothing about gold were trying to buy as much as they could afford.


We aren’t anywhere near that level of gold “awareness.” In fact, despite all the publicity gold has received, the majority of people still do not own gold, and have no plans to.


But they will.


Just like in 1981. It will happen sometime in the near future ... when every other asset is considered “untouchable.”


That day is still off in the future. But it’s coming.


There are still sound reasons why the price of gold has shot up over the past four years ... and why it should continue to rise for the foreseeable future.


It’s not any ONE thing. It’s a collection of economic conditions and government reactions like:


• Soaring sovereign debt in Europe, the U.S. and throughout the world.
• Rampant deficit spending that continues to push the national debt higher rather than lower
• Unsustainable growth projections Wall Street has imagined
• Mounting student debt and consumer debt,
• Stagnant home prices,
• High unemployment,
• High (but sneaky) inflation,
• Negative yields on treasuries,
• Excessive money printing


This is NOT stability. Frankly, our economy is on the brink of chaos (and remember, gold is an AWESOME chaos hedge).


Eventually one of the above problems will hit critical mass and start a domino effect of financial crisis.


Like 2008. Only worse.


Then true chaos will hit. People will panic, and they’ll start to empty all their cups – stocks, bonds, whatever.


And not finding any other safe place, they’ll likely dump it much of it into the one remaining safe haven – the “Gold” cup.


That’s when gold will be king.


Eventually, the “Gold” cup, too, will reach the top and start spilling over.


When that happens, it will be time to sell your gold. The great wealth transfer will have commenced. At EVG, we’ll let you know exactly when we’re there and when we’re selling.


In the meantime, understand that we aren’t even close to that point yet. Gold has a long way to go.



Creating Your Own Chaos Hedge Now



As we’ve mentioned before, we don’t try to “time” our gold purchases perfectly.


If you are able, buying a set amount of gold each month is a great way to create your chaos hedge without getting emotional about the price.


And if you haven’t started yet, now is likely a great time to get in before gold rockets higher.


But before you make the plunge into gold, get educated. There are good types of gold to buy and bad types. (And you don’t want to get caught with the “fools” gold when chaos hits. It won’t help).


No worries...


Your EVG membership site has two complete (and very thorough) modules on buying and selling gold you won’t find anywhere else.


The most recent update from Mike Maloney (2012 Precious Metals Update With Michael Maloney…) also talks about the looming Wealth Transfer.


Another great review is How To Profit From Hyperinflation – An Exclusive Webinar With Gonzalo Lira


In short, you’ll learn all the ins-and-outs of how to buy at the best price, in the proper form, where to store it, and how to maximize your tax advantage when selling your gold.

What Happens to the “Bank of You” if the Dollar Fails?

http://theelevationgroup.net/presentation/register.php?a_aid=36cc7d72&a_bid=e6b01db8&chan=gec


The “Bank of You” is one of the most popular...and successful strategies that Elevation Group members have been using to secure their financial future.

But there are also some concerns about how the “Bank of You” will hold up if we have another 2008-like economic crisis...or worse.

Here’s a great question from an EVG member about what will happen if the US Dollar tanks:

Regarding the Bank of You, Paul Haarman said it takes around 5-7 years to break even, and after that is when things start to take off. But the Lesson #2 video was made back in 2010. So at this point in time, with our fiat currency heading ever more towards to the brink, is it advisable for anyone to start investing in the Bank of You? Will the US Dollar even be around in another 5-7 years? Thanks in advance for your help on this question.

Mary D.Paul is the EVG expert on the “Bank of You,” and he says he gets this question a lot.

But his answer is a little more complex than a simple “yes” or “no.”

Here’s why:



Everyone’s Concept of Financial Collapse is Different


When some people think of financial collapse, they envision total mayhem...

A kind of post-nuclear holocaust where everyone wanders around aimlessly...

Abandoned ghost-town cities. Smoking piles of debris littering the landscape...

People clad in dirty rags ... picking their way through heaps of junk for a morsel of food.

Is that how you see it?

If so, then realize that no investment will thrive in that reality.

Not even gold.

In that scenario, mere survival will be the only thing that matters.

But that is NOT how Paul envisions the coming financial collapse.

Why?

Well, none of the biggest financial collapses in our world’s recent (or past) history have ever looked like that.

Yes, there is always a temporary chaos as wealth transfers hands.

And yes, there are tough times for the masses ... sometimes for extended periods of time.

But in the end, a new order is always established ... and in the event of a currency collapse, a NEW currency is always formed.

Like it or not, we will most likely have to live with some form of fiat currency during our lifetime.

So even if the present form of your country’s currency collapses, there will be a new currency that takes its place.

At that point you’ll get something in exchange for your old money.

But that’s assuming a total financial collapse.

Paul feels it’s more likely that we’ll get high inflation rather than total collapse. In that case...



Interest Rates Will Move Up With Inflation


The second thing to remember is that interest rates and inflation generally go up in lock-step.

So if we start seeing 10% annual inflation, the interest rate you earn in your Bank of You will also go up.

Some readers may remember the high inflation of the late 1970’s into the early 1980’s.

Back then you could earn 17% on a one–year Certificate of Deposit (CD).

Right now, inflation is at 2.5% and you can earn around 10% in a Bank of You.

That’s a 7% spread.

Once inflation hits 10%, you should easily be able to earn up to 17% in your “Bank of You.”

Which brings us to the final point...



The “Bank of You” Protects You During Inflation or Deflation


A properly set up “Bank of You” will protect you from future high inflation...

...but it can also save you if we get deflation.

We’ve already seen how deflation could be part of our future in a recent newsletter.

Most investments work well only in one scenario or the other. Either in deflation or inflation.

In fact, many investments will completely crash if used in the wrong situation.

Not the “Bank of You.”

Properly set up, a “Bank of You” steadily increases your wealth during either scenario.

It works that way because it has the income-producing abilities of an inflation hedge, and the cash-like qualities of a deflation hedge.



Final Thoughts


No one can say with 100% certainty what the future holds.

Will there be high inflation? All signs point to that.

Will there be deflation? At least one realistic scenario exists where that could be our fate.

With most investments, you have to make an educated guess which scenario is coming.

At EVG, we’re betting more heavily on the inflation side.

But with a “Bank of You,” you’ll be protected either way.

It won’t matter if the US Dollar tanks ... or even disappears.

Frankly, you’ll never get the timing of any investment absolutely perfect.

What’s more important is understanding the Wealth Cycle we are in and how that will affect your long-term investment goals.

Once you are convinced in your own mind that a particular investment makes sense, the final step is actually committing to it...pulling the trigger and making the investment.

Now is a good time to review Lesson 1 on wealth cycles and Lesson 2 on the Bank of You.

If you have specific questions about setting up your own “Bank of You,” give Paul a call.

The Next Market Crash is Required by Law‏
















Out of all the things the US Congress has done, this might take the cake.

And as it stands, the United States government has outdone itself by...

* Racking up 15.6 trillion in debt, more than any other nation in history.

* Promising to pay out $62 trillion over the next several decades with money it doesn’t have.


* And allowing the Federal Reserve to print so much money that high inflation is guaranteed - and maybe even hyperinflation.


But if you thought those were bad. Just wait until you hear about ERISA, a law passed in 1974 that almost guarantees a coming stock market crash.

We mentioned the law recently:

"The stock market crash triggered by 70 million boomers being forced (by law) to pull out their funds can happen any minute now."

And it brought this question...


What do you mean forced (by law) to pull out funds from the stock market???? Please explain how a law would force us to pull our funds out of the stock market. -Phyllis M

Let me explain...

ERISA stands for the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. And it is the bill that brought us Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs.

Since then millions of workers have been stuffing money in their IRAs. That's nearly 40 years of savings and wealth pouring into these accounts.

The Employee Benefit Research Institute says 1/4 of all retirement assets in the US are locked up inside IRAs. That's a huge number.

And here's where it gets dangerous. Almost half of all the wealth inside IRA funds are invested in the stock market (48%).

Why does this matter?

Because...


ERISA Threatens Retirees With Losing 50% of Their IRA If They Don't Exit the Stock Market


Once a retiree turns 70 and 1/2 years-old, starting the next April 1st they must start withdrawing at least the required minimum each year... or else they must pay a large penalty.

So what happens if a large demographic starts turning 70 all at the same time... like the baby boomers will starting in 2016?

Half the apple pie leaves the market! The 48% of IRA funds invested in stocks just start walking.

It is the definition of a mass exodus.


And That’s Just One Reason to Stay Out of Stocks...


There are plenty more. Including the fact that you’re playing against computer algorithms created by Goldman Sachs.

Stocks are not a fair game, and savvy investors know it.

That’s why our EVG lessons focus on precious metals, the “Bank of You,” real estate and other investment vehicles the middle class never hear about.

And we hope you’re taking full advantage of these lessons.

With a pending stock market crash and massive wealth transfer right around the corner, you can’t be too prepared.

To look for more ways to profit from the coming economic turmoil, consider jumping back into lesson 1:
