What Money Does For A Woman!

 

Money – having money, growing it, and feeling financially secure – is a big grooming piece in a woman’s life — or at least it should be.  Make no mistake – better than a face lift or sparkling diamonds – having money in our checking accounts when we are wise, gracefully aging women – will put a smile on our faces and a security in our step. 

Because money is a life-giving energy – just like love, health or physical strength – it is a resource that is both necessary and vital to our health and well-being.  Having ample money allows us the freedom to choose what we do . . . in work, play and life.  Money provides an answer to emergencies. It enables us with resources to give someone else a better life.  Women today can expect to live to be centurions – we out live men in our society – and we will need cash flow for long years of life.

Crisis in Confidence Calls For Your Portfolio Adjustments

 

At no other time in history have we seen that the world’s leading power is also the world’s biggest debtor.  Let that sink in – because it is everything to your portfolio choices.

For the first time we are seeing open rebellion against political and Wall Street practices. 

Two years ago, the government CBO estimated a deficit for this year of $250billion – and failed to see a $1.6trillioin actual deficit for this year coming its way!  And, while the same CBO estimates a budget deficit of $829billion for 2012 – a double dip recession is headed for a $2trillion deficit in that year, is the state of things shaping up.

There is a crisis of confidence with Washington, and Wall Street for these growing reasons.  The information from these two sources is not creditworthy (no pun intended) for the basis for you and me to invest.  The information is simply designed to keep a story of the ‘game’ that they’ve been playing going, which is wreaking havoc on our Nation, and to sell the American investor on bad information. 

That’s why it takes an independent point of view to sort out fact from fiction – and that’s what we will do for you to show how you can Make Money, while others lose money, in the times ahead.

We are seeing a major shift in economic cycles – in power and wealth – and here are some predications:

  • The Stock Market is set for a rally for the first two quarters of this year – and then go into a long-term decline (the price/earnings ratios for stocks is grossly overvalued now).
  • Global Investors worldwide will sell off Treasury Bonds – and there will be a major spike upward in yields — interest rates will go up.
  • Gold will continue big moves up.

There are opportunities to Make Money in these scenarios – but not if your approach is to follow ‘the market went up last year and it will continue as usual’ thinking of Wall Street. 

The Elephant Under The Rug is a combination of troublesome unemployment, scarce capital world-wide – and very importantly, governments strapped for cash which is translating into entire countries going bankrupt.  Hello…these are new, when determining direction for your investments and securing yourself financially – new from any other time that has been present during your lifetime! 

We will be talking more about Make Money, Invest Money, Grow Money and Protect Money – the keys to securing yourself financially – what this takes and how to do it. 

Because Today – you have to think very differently than you thought, about your money, in the past.  We’ll keep you on track to Make Money, Grow Money, Invest Money and Protect Money, from all different perspectives of life.

And, we encourage you to use the Facebook and Tweet Buttons next to this Article to send this off to your friends – and to get Articles with specific important information to those who need it – so that we can all help with financial security (because that leads to a better world).

Economic Recovery? – Blaaa, Blaaaaa…Bla..

Tales of Wall Street and Washington, and even the Media – speak of economic recovery.  I guess they think that if you say it often and long enough that it will happen.  That does not mean that it is reality, now or any time soon. 

With the employment rate shrinking, and GDP wallowing – what would you say that the prospects are for the economic climate ahead? 

This is an important evaluation because it leads you to what kind of investments to make with your money – in your IRA, 401(K) or savings – how to plan your money making.

Here is what is very telling to me.  Recently, RealtyTrac (a National Reporting Service) reported a shocking barometer of the state of the daily economic lives of Americans.  In January of this year, one in every 409 homes was sent a default notice, listed for foreclosure auction or repossessed by the bank.  This is HUGE.  Recovery?

Who Is Swiping Your Dollars?

 The US Government – that’s who.

Up until September, 2009 – it took nearly 14 years to double the cash held in US Banks.  After this date, it took the Fed less than 4 months to double the size of US bank reserves.

This should scare you – because the store of your monetary value is in the US dollar.  And it should also, motivate you to invest to counter this action.

This is a dramatic move on the part of the Federal Government – and prior to this, even in extreme circumstances, the Fed has never taken this road of pumping so much liquidity into the economy. 

But how does the government pay for a mountain of debt, you ask?  Continue reading Who Is Swiping Your Dollars?

What Am I Buying These Days?

Simple Answer – Anything That China is Buying!

Why?  Because, world power is shifting from the West to the East.  The value of the American dollar is taking a nose dive.  The American economy is not yet recovering with the showing of both unemployment and corporate bankruptcy on the rise.  And, the lift in the American stock market is on quick sand due to the huge dollar-printing dump of paper by the US government into the economy and American banking system. 

This does not give me a lot of confidence.

But China does.  The Chinese are savers – up to 35% of their income.  The middle class is multiplying rapidly in China – and with the rise in their household incomes they are consumers of many products.  And, most importantly, the dramatic economic expansion – with the enormous tide of the Chinese population – is driving an urgent need for everything from wheat to copper – and they are looking for these commodities all over the globe. 

Deng Xiaoping spoke his famous capitalistic phrase – “to get rich is glorious” in 1978 – and they are doing it – never before in history has a country made such outstanding economic progress in one generation. Continue reading What Am I Buying These Days?
