Are You Ready For the Decline of the Dollar

       While there are countless threats to our remaining liberties and wealth, nothing threatens your future wealth and prosperity as much the future decline of the dollar. It will happen eventually and here are some low cost alternatives you can do to protect your family savings and investments. If you don't read any further in the book than this first chapter, you and your family will be well served by following some of these recommendations.

The United States Could Be Facing Bankruptcy and A Dollar Decline By 40% Or More during the next 5 years.

       The politicians and Wall Street will blame everyone but themselves and you will probably see through their misinformation and propaganda…but by the time this happens, it will not matter. You will already be poorer, your retirement will be weakened if not destroyed,  and there will be nothing you can do about it.

Federal Reserve funded Professor Laurence Kotlikoff recently warned:  "government's potential bankruptcy, given the pension and Medicare payments that are expected to confront officials in coming years." He went on to estimate, "the federal government is facing future pension, budget deficit and welfare liabilities of $65.9 trillion, about five times the U.S. GDP and almost twice the size of the nation's wealth."

       First of all, it is no secret that America is bankrupt by every accounting measure. The deficit spending and paper money experiments that began during the War Between the States have been expanded many times over since the establishment of the Federal Reserve back in 1913. Third, I believe we will soon be facing a real dollar crisis and worsening oil situation that will only increase our problems in the Middle East. These problems are unfortunately speeding up the transition by many countries and central banks out of dollar reserves and into the Euro and this will have a long term negative effect on the dollar.

Simple Suggestions On Protecting Your Wealth From the Coming Dollar Problems.  

       These are not expensive or complicated and do not generate large commissions. I'm sure you will hear plenty on the high commission and expensive products and services from financial marketing experts but these are simple recommendations you may not hear much about.  

Buy Gold Bullion Coins - They are historically an inflation and financial crisis hedge, but make sure you are paying only a slight premium over the bullion price. Many coin dealers and firms will try to switch you into numismatic coins, but avoid these because they tend to have high commissions and markups. Instead, buy from a dealer you know or that someone you know and trust recommends.

Invest Part of Your Savings Out of the Dollar - The percentage should depend upon your level of concern about the dollar and our nation's economic and political future. You can invest in Swiss annuities, Certificates of Deposit in the Euro or Swiss Franc at your local bank, your foreign bank or consider EverBank's foreign currency CD www.everbank.com, but either way, stick with these two currencies.  The saying, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” applies here, in that you should diversify beyond the U.S. dollar, into more stable currencies like the Swiss Franc or Euro. 

Invest Some of Your Savings Out of the Country - When the situation goes downhill, who knows what the politicians or bureaucrats will do here in the United States.  My advice: plan for the worst and hope for the best. Foreign annuities again in the Swiss Franc and or Euro are an inexpensive easy way to legally invest offshore and they can provide real asset protection.

Cash & Liquidity Will Be King! - Build a nest egg of enough cash to pay your bills for a couple of months. The FEDS don't like cash so make copies of your cash withdrawal receipts and keep them separate from the cash so you have proof of where the cash came from.

Decrease Your Investments in American Stocks and Bonds - Inflation and a falling dollar will be bad for the overall American stock and bond markets. Consider additional diversification in globally diversified mutual funds out of the US markets by simply switching funds inside your family of mutual funds.

The Plan To Destroy America Via the Dollar by Hal Lindsey www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53285  Note, in my opinion, rather than a conspiracy as Lindsey author of The Late Great Planet Earth 20 book series claims, nations are dumping dollars for euros because the dollar is losing it's status as a world reserve currency.  No conspiracy just smart investing!

 

Chapter 2 - A Recent History of Post 9/11 Regulations Impacting Offshore Investing & Asset Protection Talking Points:  Learn why the federal government's response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in combination with earlier measures to destroy offshore money centers and privacy, have come together with the support of the U.S. financial service industry and tax authorities. Their goal was to deliver a blow to many offshore tax havens, products, and asset protection strategies. Their tactics were successful: many strategies and structures established previously to protect assets do not work any more.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be lead to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."   -- H. L. Mencken

       Think back to the mid 1990's when asset protection was all the rage.  Tens of thousands of Americans were fleeing the lawsuit mania in the U.S. legal system and putting their wealth into asset protection trusts and other structures offshore. This was undoubtedly a smart move for productive Americans who spent their entire working career building and accumulating wealth.  These people did not want to risk having it all stolen in a scandalous lawsuit or trumped up asset forfeiture attack. 

       Today when you read the newspaper or watch the news, you know in your heart, if not also in your head, that the American legal system does not always protect your wealth. Even if innocent and productive citizens win a lawsuit, they usually still lose the battle due to outrageous legal expenses.  All too often, Americans can be in a lose/lose situation in most court proceedings since the legal profession and trial lawyers lobbying groups have legislated themselves a win/win contest. A sad state of affairs, yes, but such is the political power of the legal special interests in the United States.

Many Questionable Tax-Havens Have Gone From Boom To Bust

       Just a few short years ago, many offshore tax-haven jurisdictions were getting rich from the billions of dollars that escaped the American legal system and investment markets. Some U.S. investors with offshore structures foolishly failed to report and pay taxes owed to the federal government.  As a result, offshore jurisdictions and products grew in unpopularity with American politicians. After all, less government revenue meant less programs and funding for their usual vote-buying political purposes.

       As more people attempted to circumvent their tax obligations, this began to cause problems for some in the American legal profession, because these offshore structures often had to be pierced and attacked by legal firms in that particular country, rather than by the American legal professional. Most of the offshore countries had a measure of wealth protection legislation, making it more difficult to attack their structures than if they were in the United States. Moreover, in the offshore location the plaintiff and the American lawyer often had to hire a law firm in the foreign country who then received the fees that would have gone to the American firm, had the assets been located in the United States. These are the two main reasons the powerful legal lobby hated offshore jurisdictions-- a lower success rate for legal actions and legal fees that had to be split with outside, offshore competitors. Finally, the billions of dollars fleeing to offshore havens were usually invested into products and markets outside the United States. This of course translated into lost revenues and business for Wall Street and the rest of the American financial services establishment.

       It is therefore no surprise that politicians, the legal profession, and the American financial services industry began to lobby for an attack on these sovereign offshore jurisdictions, as these investment refuges were becoming a real threat to government revenue and the profits of our legal industries. The opponents of offshore investing did have a point after all, for some Americans unwisely moved assets to tax haven jurisdictions with a measure of financial privacy and then did not pay the required taxes on the capital gains and income. Thus the move of billions of dollars offshore was starting to impact tax revenues. In addition, powerful Wall Street and London interests were losing billions of dollars in managed investments, high commissioned packaged products, and stock trading revenues to offshore financial competitors. Hence, the stage was set to defend these special interests and government revenues, legal fees, and the Wall Street financial service revenues. 

Ron Fact, Book & Video Recommendations For This Page:
The national debt owed to foreign governments and investors along with the dying role of the dollar as the world reserve currency will all work together to eventually bring about the fall of the dollar. This should be a long term decline and I do not have a clue about near term currency movements either up or down. Still the currency risk for Americans and others invested in our dollar denominated markets is the threat of a major terrorist attack that I believe could quickly create a selling panic for the dollar and American markets.
