Loosing Altitude

Those who've followed the FairView over the past few years are familiar with the idea that the US dollar is being setup to one day lose it's world reserve status. Back in 2009 we discussed an article by Larry Edelson entitled, "A Sneak Peek at the Future...". In that article Edelson pieced together quotes from world leaders calling for a "seismic shake-up of the world currency structure" and concluded that behind closed doors these world leaders were planning for a new world reserve currency.  The following are the quotations he referenced:

The Lerner Side Of Occupy

Last March audio was released of Stephen Lerner discussing a secret plan to bring down JP Morgan Chase and crash the stock market. The audio was made public almost three weeks after the Pentagon released it's 2009 report on Economic Terrorism. Lerner is/was SEIU's (Service Employees International Union) point-person on Wall Street reform and the organizer of the 2010 Bank of America protests outside the homes of senior executives. Reports vary as to whether Lerner has been ousted from his position at SEIU or if he is on "administrative leave". Prior to the 2010 protests a Stephen Lerner had visited the White House four times:

Understanding Inflation

Inflation is commonly understood as prices going up. Price increases, however, are only the result of inflation. Actual inflation happens when the value of a currency, in this case the US dollar, goes down.  Meaning it will now take more dollars to buy the same quantity of a given product. Economists describe this process as more dollars chasing fewer goods and services. It is important to understand that the innate value of a particular good or service does not change in an inflationary occurrence, only the amount of paper dollars needed to acquire them.  Consider the following example:

In This Case... The Gold


Once again confirming that if you want to know what's really going on, follow the money. In this case... the gold. Very few pay close enough attention to global markets and finance to notice what happens behind the scenes. If you do, you already realize that what is reported in the mainstream news tells a very different story than what happens in the world of money. And as far as preventing a European financial collapse, "anybody out there [who] understands fourth grade arithmetic... know[s] from metaphysical certitude that Europe is done", this according to Ann Barnhardt formerly of Barnhardt Capital Management.

"You even want to make a start at trying to bail out Europe we are talking $25 trillion just to start. And it would then--if you were going to bail out the entirety of Europe--you would now be talking about hundreds of trillions of dollars."

Beyond Kinder Morgan

Recently some of you have become familiar with the benefits of investing in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). I thought you would appreciate a list of pipeline and storage companies similar to Kinder Morgan. The S&P Ranking, Dividend Yield, and Weiss Watchdog Rating is also listed to the right of each company. For example, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners shows as: 5 Star - 5.35 yield / B. Remember I am not an investment adviser, nor do I play one in real life. I do, however, accept "that'a boy" kickbacks in the form of $100 bills.

MF Global Collapses

Since the collapse of MF Global on October 31 there has been a firestorm of speculation concerning what the future implications of such a failure will be on the financial markets. In recent weeks several outlets have voiced a growing concern that a bank holiday may be declared during the early part of 2012. Below is one such article. In view of current events it might not be a bad idea to pray about keeping enough cash on hand to cover at least one month worth of expenses.
