I would like to thank you for joining us. Many of my readers have said that the points of view in my pieces are not the usual fare, and are thought provoking. That is my goal. I do not seek to provide only a rehash of the events occurring, nor to provide technical analysis which is so prevalent, but rather to give insights that are not the typical views, and look specifically for trends that have changed, and paradigms that are changing.
Current Newsletter
- Gold, USD, Yuan, oil update
- Deflation question
- Food
- Darn gold stock volatility
- The Problem
- Making money
- We barely escaped this two times so far in the last two years
- Can you live with no income or store runs for months?
- People are worse now than when the Great Depression happened
- A bigger problem than the USD situation
- Stay in place?
- USD will be replaced but will prices stay prohibitively high?
There will be life after the USD but, can we get there safely? That should be the objective. If all you are thinking regarding this is to protect your money, and ways to do that, and leave this basic stuff unaddressed then you are just a sitting duck. Take care of the basic survival stuff immediately if you have not yet taken the steps. We will figure out how to save our money after that as we work through the market developments. But personally safety is first always and don’t forget...

Testimonials
I continue to really value your newsletter. Just extended to Dec. 2009. I read a lot of newsletters maybe 10 along with a lot of articles. There are just a few of you in my opinion that sees the enormity of the convulsion that is occuring right before our eyes but frankly I think you have a more comphrehensive viewpoint than the others. A few see the stock market crash coming or other large portions of the problem,but you seem to bring the total picture into focus.

Dear Chris,
First I want to thank you for your excellent newsletter. It is the #1 reason we did not lose our rear in the recent market crash You sometimes talk about some real doom and gloom stuff. This is OK because it makes me think about things I normally would not think about.
