Money Matters Update: New Womans Class. Show this week. Market update. 12 11
2011


Marc's Notes:

First off, let me apologize for not putting an update out sooner. With
holidays and articles, pledge drives, consults and shows, to name a few, and
markets kind of quiet, I was plain old remiss.

Onward.

The See Jane Do conferences are now being scheduled. These are women money
management classes. You can do this! We have session #2 coming up which
continues where #1 left off. It will cover offshore money, gold, silver,
annuities, stocks, bank accounts, who and what to avoid and making a plan.
There will be  #1 beginning class for those that missed it and an evening
class for those unable to make it during the day. Email me to put you on the
list. Don't know dates yet. You will learn how to manage your money yourself
in under TWO HOURS PER YEAR! Save those fees and know where your money is!
Especially in these times!

Onward.

 

Vicious Cycles

I am thinking about cycles and how now there are so many of them. We went to
a credit based economy and away from paying with cash in the last 4 decades.
Credit pushed by banks through credit cards combined with advertising
convincing you even if you couldn't afford it, go ahead and "live a little"
and just charge it.

Don't have a high paying job? Charge that nice car, the one your rich
neighbor has. Want that big house? Get an adjustable mortgage, after all,
its all about the payments. Want to live that rich life style? Charge up
that vacation. Take equity out of house and buy some new furniture.

The American dream went from working hard to charging hard on credit cards.
The cycle now is once you have established a credit based economy, you cant
go back with out severe pain.

Credit is debt. Debt has to be paid. Buy it now, and then you have to work
without pay later. There is no free lunch. Credit is just buying now so you
must forfeit even more later.

One way or another you pay.

To foster this credit based economy, the banks cried for easy money from the
Feds and got it. Low interest rates fostered oodles of money and with what
is called "fractional reserve banking, for every dollar the Feds give the
banks, they create 10 more.

This massive explosion of money floods everywhere, driving up house prices,
stock prices, wages, everything you buy. This gives the illusion of wealth
called the "wealth effect". But the money is borrowed don't forget. There is
no real wealth when borrowed; it is just stolen from future income.

Add in the get rich quick mentality from dot.com, day trading, easy credit
and housing booms and the work hard ethic is lost. The real hook here is
with all this easy money sloshing around, it causes all prices to rise.

Good you think? Ah, but an economic fact is wages and salaries never rise as
fast as goods, so you get further and further behind with every day of
inflation. You THINK you are getting richer with higher house prices and
higher stock prices and money sloshing everywhere buying all your stuff in
your store, but the facts are that your WAGES never rise as fast. They are
what we call "lagging" always. So like running a race with a car, you walk 3
miles an hour and I drive 10 mph.

The race is inflation. As you walk this race you appear to be moving forward
(higher stock prices, house prices) but the car pulls ahead with every mile
we race. Simply put, print more money, offer more credit, prices go higher,
your wages lag behind.

With every mile, you fall more and more behind. But it's very seductive.
Inflation feels good and looks good.  No one can put 2 and 2 together and we
dont realize it's the reason why we find it harder and harder to make ends
meet.

My school bus driver in the 60's could afford a house, a Dr. visit, a new
car and all with 4 kids. Try that now!

Ask yourself. Are house prices higher and stock prices higher?

Yes!

Did your wages go up? Yes! BUT NOT QUITE AS FAST!

Couple that with world improving politicians who layer tax upon tax and
regulation on regulation upon businesses, then we wonder why business moves
offshore.

Simply put, we put so many costs on business, they move somewhere cheaper.

Lost jobs combine then with inflation, its immediate effects masked by
credit. This allows decades to pass where the effects of inflation go
unnoticed, until the reality hits that people are broke and getting broker,
yet dont know why. They look for someone to blame but miss the mark. They
blame capitalism, the rich, oil companies, Wall Street, all the while
failing to see its Federal Reserve money policies coupled with pay to play
politics.

Those (the upper classes)  that can afford stocks and investments to offset
inflation survive actually get richer, hence the redistribution of wealth we
see takes place. Its not the fault of these upper classes, they are only
trying to protect thier money, and who can blame them?

Like we have seen in all countries that extend paper dollars and massive
credit, inflation over time erodes the purchasing value of wages until we
see classes move down notches. Lower class goes lower, middle class go lower
middle, upper go to middle, and the lowest class goes homeless. Fewer people
can afford nice lifestyles so the wealth gets more and more concentrated.

We see it in country after country that takes this path. Meanwhile
economically uneducated politicians see the misery and then call for more
assistance through public programs.

The Feds comply, not wanting to appear uncompassionate and lose their jobs,
print more money from air and offer more credit (what we see now) and then
to pay for it all, they print even more, causing more eventual inflation,
which causes more people to slip lower down the income level. As always,
wages don't keep up as prices keep rising, more people then call for more
assistance, then the politicians offer up more programs, paid for by
printing more money, and the race goes on and on.

What few realize is that the very things they clamor for like higher stock
prices, higher housing prices, easier credit, more social programs, more
public spending to "create" jobs, eventually just requires more money
printing, which then continues the viscous cycle above.

More poor, more classes moving lower, the rich get richer, until finally the
currency in question collapses from just plain printing too much of it.

What do we see now offered as remedy? More of the same detailed above just
like the model predicts.

More social programs, more social spending, more job "creation" bills, lower
interest rates to foster even more credit, easy home loan terms and lower
interest rates again to get the banks "lending again".

This (you guessed it) will cause more money printing AGAIN!

Overseas and in the banking system we see no better. These guys (banks)
marked all this debt up and multiplied it a million times and like bankers
standing in a circle making bets with each other, no one really has the
money they're betting, but as long as the bets are made to each other in the
circle, they can claim a profit and pay themselves bonuses.

If the bets ever do blow up, the Feds will just print more to pay the debts
and isn't that what we are seeing now?

First homeowners couldn't pay so they printed their way out of that, then
banks couldn't pay so they printed their way out of that, then insurers of
all debt couldn't pay so they printed their way out of that, then
governments took on the debt that all the banks couldn't pay so they printed
their way out of that.  Now that debt made its way all the way to the top of
the heap. The  Euro central bank cant pay so they are going to us and the
IMF to get money and that again will just be printed up.

Meanwhile the amounts get larger, the debt never goes away, it just gets
shuttled up the ladder because printing faces on paper with colored ink does
not create anything of value. Its just printing faces on paper with colored
ink.

There is no WEALTH there on the paper. Get it?

Viscous cycles exist in the stock market, where it runs up with every
bailout announcement, then falls again as reality sets in.

Vicious cyclical debt never disappears because nobody is willing to let
somebody go under.

No mega bank will be allowed to default on the debt which WOULD make its
debt disappear. It wont be allowed because a whole bunch of people would
have to declare bankruptcy and since they are well connected bankers and
such, they get bailed out.

Now bailouts are the norm.

This is the viscous cycles we now see in bailouts. Once you bail out guy
one, you have to bailout everybody, or the previous bailouts will be futile.

Like the vicious cycle in our wars. They tell us they can't pull out now or
all those dead  boys and girls would have died in vain. So what the hell
kind of answer is that? So now we kill MORE of our kids to make the previous
deaths meaningful?

What kind of lunacy is that?

Viscous cycles in government are everywhere. Your Ex Secretary Treasurer
Hank Paulson was the CEO at Goldman Sachs for gosh sakes.

A bank CEO in charge of the Treasury? You must be joking, yet bank
executives are everywhere in our public treasury and Federal Reserve.
Retired congressmen go to work for hedge funds, banks, investment firms for
past favors bestowed. A revolving door exists between those that administer
our public funds and the banks.

 It's incredible.

Obama's economic Job Czar is the CEO of GE, who outsources tens of thousands
of jobs overseas. In fact GE doesn't make ANY light bulbs in the US anymore.
It shuttered its last plant this year and moved it overseas. GE also paid NO
US INCOME TAX on close to 12 billion in profits!

Are you hearing me?

Viscous cycles, deadly cycles, are everywhere.

>From more Americans wanting handouts to banks wanting bailouts. Once you
start down certain roads, it's all but impossible to turn back.

How you tell welfare recipients their checks will wind down. How do you pull
back on the food stamp programs? How do you tell farmers their decades of
subsidies will stop? How do you stay in office telling the banks their
bailouts will cease? How do you tell pensioners their promise of checks will
be broken? How do you tell the Unions, there will be no more protection? How
do you halt tariffs protecting American products? How do you cease pat downs
at airports? How do you cut education spending? How do you pull out your
troops? How do you reduce government entities and fire their employees? How
do you stop foreign aid? How do you reduce taxes, do away with the lobby
system we have in government and cut back Social Security? How do you stop
buying $100 hammers, stop jobs programs, cut back on infrastructure spending
or stop bailing out bankrupt states?

Simply you cannot or you will get voted out of office, replaced by somebody
who promises NOT to cut. Just look at  the protests in Greece for a prime
example of how the public reacts to cutbacks. Common sense be damned.

There so many put-in-place money showers that the nation is bleeding red ink
from every orifice yet the cuts above are only a handful of things that must
be done to save this country. Increasing taxes on the "rich" will make a
small dent but it's not lack of revenue that is the problem as there is NOT
ENOUGH REVENUE in the world to pay for what is spent and promised to be
spent.

Without the knowledge that overspending and borrowing and printing dollars
doesn't solve anything and realizing that it IS the problem, and doing more
of it only makes it worse, the viscous cycle of our downward spiraling
economy and our upward spiraling debt will continue.

The impoverishment of more Americans will continue and accelerate. With
every program, with every handout, with every bailout, the problem gets
worse.

How do you convince those in power that the very policies they see as
solutions and the very policies they continue to try are the very things
that are causing the problem?

The excuse is always "it wasn't enough, we didn't do enough", but it will
NEVER be enough because those very policies are the PROBLEM!

The cycle of these futile attempts WILL continue because the lack of
understanding the problem continues.
How do you convince those convinced their policies will work that they
won't?

For now, expect the cycles to continue. More bailouts, more banks claiming
to be saved for the systems sake. More Euro problems and more country
bailouts. More money printing, complicated central bank policies you wont
understand, more excuses  and more blame misdirected towards everyone but
the central banks who ARE at fault.
More jobs bills, more people clamoring for public assistance, more poor,
more homeless, more programs. More jobs being lost, more inflation, more
"spin" from Washington on how things are getting better. More mistruths from
the statisticians that inflation doesn't exist, that jobs are being created
and the situation isn't as bad as you think it is.

More deadlock on the budget in the midst of more spending making deficits
grow even higher. More BS and more promises to cut back later. More illegal
searches, more freedoms being taken and more intrusion into your lives. More
people actually calling for MORE government intervention as they don't
realize this IS the problem. More people settling for gruel and grey houses
to just be "comfortable".

I hate to say it, but we've sent his play before and the final acts are
nothing to look forward to. Democracies all end one way, from complacency to
apathy to dependence.

Heed the warnings and protect your autonomy, your assets, your freedoms and
your independence. Be vigilant and be active. Don't be fooled into the spin
and use your head. Educate yourself on money as education is the cornerstone
of progress.

Update on holdings:
Dividend Payers: New Zealand telecom NZT spun off a company and gave us
stock in a new company called Chorus Ltd. You now own stock in Chorus which
is a New Zealand communications company. NZT dropped on the spin off which
is normal. I am holding both for now as both are still scheduled to pay. I
will update you on this as I learn more.

Frontline Shipping FRO has been losing value and I recommend replacing it
with Golar GLNG which has been rising nicely and paying steadily.

Yellow Pages income fund is also struggling but managing to pay. Its so low
now I am holding but will update you as I follow along.

Terra Nitrogen TNH has been doing great, rising nicely, paying us and now
oscillating in the high 100's. Hold it and I will add again if it goes into
the 140's or 130's.

US Investors Gold and Silver fund USERX paid us $2.58 a share in a one time
payment this week. If you had a 1000 shares you got over $2500.00 ! The fund
dropped accordingly. They paid massively last year too! They only pay once a
year but wow!

Add that to UNWPX which is also set to pay 2.02 per share.

Apple AAPL   Our Twitter alert said to buy at 365. Those that did are
looking at a 30 buck gain in just a few weeks. Follow me on Twitter for
daily updates, sometimes hourly.

Those looking to own Apple should use 365 again as a buy in.

All else remains the same. Thanks to Dave for alerting listeners to the I
BOND which pays over 3 % and is US GUARANTEED. A NO RISK investment you can
look at on the site   <http://www.treasurydirect.gov/>
