Curtis Frank: Hyperinflation approaching? - LISTEN

As the Obama administration and congress ponder yet another stimulus package, causing fears of massive inflation and furthering a decline of an already weakened dollar, many investors are scrambling for the safety of gold, pushing prices back near $1,000 an ounce.

A Bloomberg report suggested that investor Marc Faber has reason to believe things will get much worse. The U.S. economy will enter “hyperinflation” approaching the levels in Zimbabwe because the Federal Reserve will be reluctant to raise interest rates.

Prices may increase at rates “close to” Zimbabwe’s gains, Faber said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Hong Kong. Zimbabwe’s inflation rate reached 231 million percent last July, the last annual rate published by the statistics office.

“I am 100 percent sure that the U.S. will go into hyperinflation,” Faber said. “The problem with government debt growing so much is that when the time will come and the Fed should increase interest rates, they will be very reluctant to do so and so inflation will start to accelerate.”

If you think hyper-inflation couldn’t happen here in the U.S., you’re dead wrong. Just look at what you pay today for staples compared to what you paid last year, or better yet, five years ago.

Curtis Frank: Rising interest rates, dollar on the brink - LISTEN

"The markets are still downbeat after last week's worse-than-expected U.S. unemployment numbers, and, although today's data for the U.S. service sector was better than expected, it wasn't startling enough to stop Wall Street sliding most of the day," said David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Index. The Dow finished up just about 42 points.

AP reports, "Disappointing economic news over the last few weeks brought an abrupt end to the rally and altered the general mood prevailing among investors that a V-shaped recovery in the U.S. was a distinct possibility. A sharp rebound in U.S. economic activity will not emerge until rises in unemployment ease and housing values bottom."

The London Telegraph reports today, “The US economy is lurching towards crisis with long-term interest rates on course to double, crippling the country’s ability to pay its debts and potentially plunging it into another recession, according to a study by the US’s own central bank, Thomas Laubach, the US Federal Reserve’s senior economist.”

David Fischer: The uncertainty of quantitative easing - LISTEN

Bank of Canada researchers said earlier this year that bond purchases by the central bank might disrupt financial markets The success of any so-called "quantitative easing" would be hard to measure.

The Bank of Canada research "re-enforces their uncertainty," about using quantitative easing, said Michael Gregory, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto.

"When you move into QE it's because you've exhausted interest-rate reductions. The problem with QE is you aren't sure how much you have to do to get the economy growing again."

Ludwig von Mises, famous Austrian Economist said "Government is the only agency that can take a valuable commodity like paper, slap some ink on it, and make it totally worthless".

Right now we are in the eye of the storm for the dollar. If China disconnects from the dollar the Asian economies can finance their own economic development with sovereign credit in their own currencies, the yuan, and not be addicted to export for fiat dollars that repeatedly lose purchasing power because of US monetary and fiscal indiscipline.

As for Americans, is it a good deal to exchange your job for lower prices at Wal-Mart? Isn't this is what our government and the Federal Reserve are doing?

China is in the position to kick start a new international finance architecture that will serve international trade better. China has the option of making the yuan an alternative reserve currency in world trade by simply denominating all Chinese export in yuan. This sovereign action can be taken unilaterally at any time of China's choosing. All the Chinese State Council has to do is to announce that as of a certain date all Chinese exports must be paid for in yuan.

David Fischer: A mixed bag of economic news - LISTEN

U.S. mortgage applications fell last week by the most since February, defying efforts by President Obama's administration to revive the housing market.

The Mortgage Bankers Association's index of applications to purchase a home or refinance a loan dropped 19 percent last week within in that refinancing declined 30 percent to the lowest in seven months.

Unemployment touched a 26-year high in May. Since the down turn in the economy is 7.2 million jobs have been lost. Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist at IHS Global Insight, said "The economy is in a phase of attempting to find a bottom. Anything that comes in the way of that, like higher rates, is going to mean it takes longer."

The Federal Reserve just reported that "US household wealth dropped $11.1 TRILLION since 2008 - $5.1 trillion of that in the last three months alone.

If we use the same methodologies today that was used to calculate inflation in the late 70's, then the today's CPI number is incorrect at negative 1.3%. It should be approximately 6%.

Larry Hatheway, an economist at UBS, said, "As the dollar weakens, gold and silver prices have nowhere to go but up. Gold is hardly an underappreciated asset, given the weakened state of the global economy. But with analysts anticipating the U.S. dollar's declining strength, investors may want to consider carving out more room for gold in their investment portfolios. Severely weakened by the global economic crisis, the U.S. dollar's near-term direction remains under debate but analysts seem to agree that longer term, the currency will emerge worse for the wear."

David Fischer: How bright is your financial future? - LISTEN

As I talk with many investors recently there seems to be a disconnect happening. People are not buying what our leaders are saying about the economy and this "rebound".

Wilbur Ross, chairman and CEO of WL Ross said yesterday on CNBC, "The U.S. economy isn't likely to recover until well into 2010. The consumer still has not been rehabilitated and that's the big problem halting the return to growth, given that the consumer used to be almost 70 percent of the U.S. economy." He also says "The housing market certainly hasn't stopped going down and It's doubtful that the government's stimulus package will boost growth anytime soon". Speaking of a stimulus, President Obama is calling for another stimulus package, which will likely cause even more inflation.

Christopher Wyke, Schroders commodities product manager says, "In the next 12 months a gold price of $2,000 an ounce is quite likely. If you saw the dollar resume its fall and maybe toward the end of this year, you started seeing people worried about the inflationary consequences of U.S. government policies, then gold prices could move up very sharply," reported Reuters.

David Fischer: Ponzi schemes: Big, bigger & biggest - LISTEN

Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in federal prison for masterminding the largest Ponzi scheme in history, a penalty six times longer than those chief executives of WorldCom or Enron scandals.

Over three decades, Madoff built a reputation as a brilliant stock picker, yet no trades were placed for the last 13 years. The media reports that Madoff investors have lost as much as 65 billion but it will take up to 10 more years to find where all the assets are and the realized losses.

Unfortunately, I have some personal experience in dealing with the aftermath of Ponzi schemes. I have a client that invested in gold, and also his son who is a stock broker. The father had all his retirement invested with Madoff per his son's advice. He told me two years ago about the incredible returns. I said this is not real! Run and get some of your money. Take a portion "off the table", but my words fell on deaf ears.

Looking back I have a client that worked for Worldcom Wireless. He had his 401k in WorldCom wireless stock. He retires, has his party says goodbye and then the house of cards fell. We were going to roll over his 401k and buy gold. He got busy in his retirement, didn't fill out the paperwork and two weeks later his 401k worth 450k collapses to 7k in just a few days.

I also have clients that invested heavily with Enron. They can tell you their horror stories that sound identical. When Enron, WorldCom and Madoff, came onto the scene and I looked into it and told my investors this deal is going sour. You are going to get hurt! My words didn't sit well.

Ponzi schemes requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors in order to keep the scheme going. Right now we are on the BIGGEST Ponzi shceme known to mankind. This will unravel just like the others have. Our very own government and the Federal Reserve is acting more like a Ponzi scheme now than ever.

Yes, that's Thriller being played as our intro today. Many of us are aware Michael Jackson, know as the "King of Pop", died suddenly of a heart attack yesterday. His music has been thrilling for many, which brings us to the markets. Many of us want thrilling markets yet the economic environment is to say the least, short of that.

Bloomberg news reports today that Executives at U.S. companies are taking advantage of the biggest stock market rally in 71 years to sell. That's right, sell their shares at the fastest pace since credit markets started to seize up two years ago.

Stock sales by CEOs, directors and senior officers have accelerated to the highest level since June 2007. The increase is making investors more skittish because executives presumably have the best information about their companies' prospects.

Joseph Keating, the chief investment officer of Raleigh, North Carolina-based RBC said, "If insiders are selling into the rally, that shows they don't expect their business to be able to support current stock- price levels."

Is this your wake up call?

Recently China and Corporate America have been stepping into gold. This trend, which is escalating, will move to a massive level. Why not you?

I know my market in gold is boring. But boring is good. Many people want the thrill; they want to be the rabbit in the race. Gold is the tortoise, slow, boring, but safe, consistent and reliable.

Has your portfolio grown 20% plus year after year for 8 years now? Gold has. China and many others believe inflation is coming and when it does then the gold market will be quite thrilling but until then boring is good and safe.

David Fischer: Fed prints, Obama spends, Americans pay - LISTEN

Warren Buffett is in the news today saying that the US may need a second stimulus package. Three weeks ago you heard me say that Warren believes inflation this time around has the potential to be much more severe.

According to the Washington Post, the financial crisis that started in the United States is dramatically intensifying the debate over the future of the dollar. Central Banks are questioning whether it can, or should, remain at the top of the financial food chain. Although a meaningful shift away from the dollar is likely to take years, some analysts believe that the decision has already been made and the scales have tipped the other direction.

Last week, the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China -- whose governments are some of the world's largest dollar holders -- jointly declared the need for a "more diversified international monetary system," sparking a huge drop in the greenback on world markets.

In recent months, China in particular has led a campaign for a new world monetary order, arguing that the financial crisis has exposed profound vulnerabilities in the U.S. economy and put a crack in the U.S. financial system. Those flaws, critics argue, show it is simply too risky for the world's central banks to rely largely on the dollar for their global reserves.

Would you solely rely on a currency when it's government can't balance their checkbook? If not then you need to call for your free "Six Steps of Wealth Preservation".

Martin Weiss says, "The dollar's global status has allowed the U.S. to have a free pass on financing our deficit"

Let's connect the dots: The Fed prints money at the speed of light. President Obama spends money at the speed of sound. The world is screaming to stop this nonsense, yet Buffett says much more stimulus is needed! You cannot stop this train wreck, but you can hop of the train! Listen as if you life was dependent on it!

David Fischer: Road to destruction paved with debt - LISTEN

Bloomberg reports, "US household wealth fell in the first quarter by $1.3 trillion, extending the biggest slump on record, as home and stock prices dropped." Yikes! In just the first three months of the year!

Obama is pushing his health care bill which some estimate will cost $1.2 trillion. He is doing this while the economy contracted at a 5.7% annual pace in the first quarter and consumer spending rose at a 1.5%.

Robert Reich, Labor Secretary under Clinton said, "Everything that the White House does concerning this deep recession contains an element of gambling because no one has been here before."

The road to destruction has been paved with debt; borrowing by consumers, businesses and government agencies which increased at an annual rate of 4.1% last quarter compared with a 6.2% gain the prior quarter. The gain was paced by a 23% surge in borrowing by the federal government, linked to the stimulus plan. This doesn't even count borrowing by state and local governments, which increased at a 4.9%.

How about repayment? At least three banks so far could not make their TARP payments to the government. Bill Bonner at The Daily Reckoning notes, "Some habits are hard to break. The habit of getting something for nothing is one of them."

Bill Gross says "The official US debt is exploding. It will be 100% of US GDP within 5 years."

What is the spending habit of the government? If you think the problem is just going to go away let's get real. You can't fight the government but you can fight for your money.

Curtis Frank: Giants Go For Gold - LISTEN

Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., the third-largest U.S. life insurer by 2008 sales, has bought gold for the first time the company's 152-year history to hedge against further asset declines.

"Gold just seems to make sense; it's a store of value," Chief Executive Officer Edward Zore said in an interview following his comments at a conference hosted by Standard & Poor's in Brooklyn.

Northwestern Mutual has accumulated about $400 million in gold, and Zore said the price could double or even rise fivefold if the economy continues to weaken. Gold gained 10 percent last month, the most since November. The commodity has more than tripled since 2000, rising for eight straight years.

"The downside risk is limited, but the upside is large," Zore said. "We have stocks in our portfolio that lost 95 percent."

Recent news of Northwestern Mutual Life's large purchase comes on the heals of an even bigger giant looking for safety. That giant being CHINA.

"China is expected to keep buying gold to diversify its vast foreign reserves after it recently revealed it had been secretively buying bullion." Hou Huimin of the China Gold Association, forecast that China's gold reserves could rise in the long term to as much as 5,000 tons, states The Financial Times.

Curtis Frank: Understanding the FED - LISTEN

Are you aware that the Federal Reserve is not federal and has no reserve? The Federal Reserve banks are no more federal than Fred Smith's Federal Express!

The average American today believes that there is truly a federal connection. The Federal Reserve banks are privately held institutions located all throughout the United States of America and where put into place by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

A few years prior to 1913 a number of private bankers, under the cover of night, boarded a train in Hoboken N. J. They set off for a little island called Jekyll Island, where, after days of meeting, they sculpted what would referred to as the Jeckel Island Accords. Later the Jekyll Island Accords became the Federal Reserve Act.

What is interesting is that ever since the inception of the Federal Reserve we have had; the Great Depression, the boom of the 50's, the wage & price freezes of the 70's, the boom of the 90's, an the bust of the early 2000s, the bubble of 2005 and now the bust of today.

Curtis Frank: $20 BILL VS. $20 GOLD - LISTEN

Gold can be intimidating to some investors. Although it has been the only true form of money for over 6,000 years, some investors today still don't understand its necessity nor why gold has been growing over 20% percent a year since 2001. Let's break this down very simply.

If you go back to the early 1920's, a $20 bill and a $20 gold piece worked exactly the same in our economy. It used to be that you could go down to a local men's shop and buy a beautiful three-piece suit with either a $20 bill or a $20 gold piece.

Now lets accelerate ahead in history 85 years later. You walk into a neiman marcus today with a $20 gold piece and a $20 bill, and what happens? Well, with a $20 paper bill, you'd be lucky to buy a nice tie, but a $20 gold piece, even in the worst condition is worth $900 today -- still ample enough money to buy a nice three-piece suit.

Did the $20 paper bill maintain buying power? Absolutely not! If you look at American history, it illustrates that gold will always outperform its paper counterpart. That truth now is more apparent than it ever has been in our history, wouldn't you agree?

The Fed is going to continue to print money to pay for the bank bailouts, auto bailouts, Health Care reform and our ever-growing debts and deficits. To learn more on what to do to safeguard your IRA, 401k's and personal savings accounts, call us right now for your free Gold kit. 1-888-867-8978.

Curtis Frank: The Worst of Both Worlds - LISTEN

We are experiencing deflation in personal assets such as our homes while experiencing price INFLATION on the products we use to live on...food, gasoline, education etc. That combo is the worst of both worlds.

Traditionally during times of inflation home prices rise in value and offsets the lose in buying power associated with a weaker dollar. This time that is not happening and as such people are buying gold to protect against the loss of buying power. This strategy will be the only way to hedge against inflation until housing recovers which by all assessments is some time in the future.

Bottom line: Gold makes more sense now then every before. Things we own are dropping in value. Things we buy and use to stay alive are increasing in costs. This is not just in America but throughout the world. Thus the world has a big appetite for gold and that appetite is not going away any time soon. Americans are starting to wake up to that reality and ARE buying gold for their 401K's, IRA's and personal investment accounts.

Gold FAQ with Curtis Frank - LISTEN

Dave: It's no secret gold ownership continues to gain popularity worldwide. The International Monetary Fund, world banks and global powers such as China, India and Russia are all increasing their gold holdings. But why?

Swiss America receives thousands of inquiries a week from average investors like you and I looking for an education on how they can protect their IRA's, 401k's and nest egg. For a bit of insight, today we turn to Curtis Frank.

What are some of the most popular questions asked by the normal investor you speak with?

Curtis: I think most investors watch the news and read the newspapers and ask themselves what is so appealing about this investment? Why is GOLD talked about where ever I turn?

Dave, One of the first questions our clients ask is, Is it too late? Did I miss the move?

To that question I will ask them if they really know what drives gold prices. Many don't actually know. When you understand what moves gold prices, it is easy for an investor to grasp and understand.

Gold prices respond to change in currency values examples- dollar, Euro, yen. Gold responds to rising inflation. Example: the higher prices we pay on gas, food, and living expenses… And gold also responds to geopolitical and economic situations such as Conflicts in the middle east, our global recession, out of control government spending.

Do you trust YOUR financial expert's advice? Has he or she grown your hard-earned money over the last year, five years, decade? If so, congratulations! If not, perhaps you should be listening to different experts.

So far the commodity super-cycle has swept gold prices up threefold since 2001. Impressive. But that's just the kickoff phase according to scores of experts surveyed by Swiss America since 2006.

These experts say gold is finally going mainstream as the best alternative to a declining dollar. How high will gold rush? We should expect at least $2,200 an ounce gold, signaling the world's fading confidence in paper currencies and U.S. government debt.

In April 2006 Swiss America CEO CRAIG R. SMITH said: "Gold is clearly headed above $1,000/oz. and is still a great bargain today," to CNBC Squawk Box. Since then scores of analysts and experts have chimed in with dozens of smart reasons to include gold coins in a balanced portfolio.

* "Gold is poised for a dramatic surge and could blast through $2,000 an ounce by the end of 2009," -JOHN HILL and GRAHAM WARK, Analysts at Citibank.

* "The world's authorities are taking steps never tried before. This gamble was likely to end in one of two extreme ways: with either a resurgence of inflation; or a downward spiral into depression, civil disorder, and possibly wars. Both outcomes will cause a rush for gold," -AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD, International Business Editor, London Telegraph.

* "Gold just seems to make sense; it's a store of value. The price could double or even rise fivefold if the economy continues to weaken" -EDWARD ZORE, CEO, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, Bloomberg.com, 6-2-09

* "With gold near $1,000 an ounce it has become the world's defacto currency. Gold has reached new highs in every major currency in the world except for the dollar and we believe it will soon achieve new highs, in dollars this time to $2,000 per ounce," -JOHN ING, CEO, Maison Placements, SafeHaven.com, 5-5-09

Mark O'Byrne, executive director at Gold and Silver Investments Ltd. said, "Gold will likely be increasingly used as a safe-haven monetary asset to protect and bolster national currencies as it has been throughout history,"

"As the common currency to the world devalues, then gold by extension has to gain in value," said Marcus Hudson, president at Hudson & Associates, a hedging advisory firm.

"The main reason why gold has been skyrocketing is because investors are running out of places to park their money," said Kathy Lien, a currency analyst at Global Forex Trading. "The dollar's reserve status is at risk with central banks from the world talking about diversifying out of U.S. dollars. Gold offers one of the few respites from a world where fiat currencies are being crushed by quantitative easing programs."

Sam Subramanian, editor of AlphaProfit Sector Investors' Newsletter says "Nations like China are actively looking to diversify their foreign exchange reserves away from the dollar and showing a liking for gold."

Gold comprised just 5% of world financial assets in 2008; whereas in 1982 gold comprised 22%. Bull markets have 3 phases: The smart money moves in early, the institutional money next and finally the dumb money, the retail money, last. Phase 3, is when the smart money sells to the dumb money, this is where fortunes are made. Gold bottomed at $252 in 1999. Smart money has taken it to today's $980. Big gains, yes, but institutional money is only now moving in.

Northwestern Mutual Life recently bought 400 million in gold according CEO Edward Zore. Around the same time hedge funds managed by John Paulson held almost 9% in gold. David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital, also well-known hedge fund manager, has accumulated a substantial exposure to gold.

Yesterday's dollar boost was erased after new data gave a mixed outlook for the services and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. The dollar index rose Wednesday for the first session in five, but today closed down. Gold is still up more than 13% this year.

"The dollar should continue its slide and gold its rally," said Zachary Oxman, managing director at TrendMax Futures.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke spoke yesterday saying, "Unless we demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term, we will have neither financial stability nor healthy economic growth. Maintaining the confidence of the financial markets requires that we, as a nation, begin planning now for the restoration of fiscal balance."

What is the FED shutting down the printing press now? Is the Treasury no longer issuing Treasury's? Did the Government throw its checkbook in the trash? Come on let's get real Ben! None, absolutely none of this is going to happen!

US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's trip to Asia has been heralded as a sales trip aimed at convincing the Chinese to keep buying US Treasuries and thereby finance US deficits. Such headlines are an insult to the Chinese.

Former Fed Chairman, Paul Volcker, who is head of the White House's Economic Recovery Advisory Board is a key adviser to President Obama, expressed concerns about inflation as a way of dealing with mounting debt. "One historic way of getting yourself out of this situation - or trying to - is to inflate. Either you do it deliberately or you allow it to happen," he said. "And if we permit that to happen then I think all these dollars will come tumbling down on us. The U.S.'s greatest strength is its history and reputation, and suggested that shouldn't be put at risk. There has never been a country where it's currency avoided inflation when it has done what our nation has been doing."

Nervous about inflation? Volker is. China is. Buffett is. And as of yesterday, Northwestern Mutual Life is. How about you? Be honest. Our government can't seem to manage money anymore now than ever. Isn't the Fed and the White House out of control?

* Dump dollars before central banks do: "Holders of U.S. dollars should diversify before central banks and sovereign wealth funds ultimately do the same amid concern about surging deficits. The U.S.'s fortune-producing capabilities and relative standard of living seem to be declining," said Bill Gross, founder of PIMCO to Bloomberg.

* "A broad-based decline in stocks Wednesday was led by sectors most dependent on an economic recovery as investors focused on mixed signals on jobs and service-sector activity. Investors also paid close attention to congressional testimony from Ben Bernanke, who warned that the government can't borrow "indefinitely" to meet the growing demand on its resources," reports MarketWatch.

* "Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that a gradual recovery remains on track for this year, and inflation would remain low given the slow pace of recovery. "Improving economic conditions and stable inflation expectations should limit further declines in inflation," Bernanke reports WSJ.

* Is the Stock Market Rally an Illusion?: "It will be a trading-range market characterized by volatility. It will be an environment that will benefit active investment managers as opposed to passive investors. If you are in the 'buy and hold' mentality, this is not a market for you," said economist David Rosenberg to TIME.

“There’s been a lot of talk out of Russia about a new global currency, and that’s contributing toward this latest bout of dollar weakness,” said Henrik Gullberg, a currency strategist in London at Deutsche Bank, the world’s largest currency trader. “These latest comments are just adding to the general dollar weakness we’ve seen recently.”

This month Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will discuss his proposal to create a new world currency when he meets with Brazil, India and China. Speaking of China:

Timothy Geithner, The US Secretary Treasury yesterday was in China and gave a speech at Peking University, where he studied Chinese as a student in the 1980s. He said, "Chinese assets are very safe." This statement immediately drew loud laughter from his student audience. Why do you think that is? Chinese have always been better at math than Americans.

He say’s “There are very clear signs that demand for commodities is improving.”

The storm is brewing experts are seeing inflation on the horizon. Since the dollar slumped last week to a five-month low this is, bolstering demand for energy, and metals as a hedge against inflation.

"We are experiencing DEFLATION in personal assets such as our homes, while we are experiencing price INFLATION on the products we use to live on.....food, gasoline, education etc. This is the worst of both worlds. Traditionally during inflation home prices rise in value to offset the loss in buying power associated with a weaker dollar. This time that's not happening so people are buying gold to protect against the loss of buying power.

Finances, fiancées and the future

As I was chatting with my fiancée about her 401k, finances and our future plan. We went over some scary scenarios. We discussed a variety of different topics from if we’re going to have enough money when we retire? Will we have enough to send our children to college? What if taxes continue to go up and how can we stop the losses in the IRA? We went though it all.

Like me, you probably have asked the same questions just like thousands of other people in America…. After chatting with my fiancée and answering all her questions, we implemented a plan.
