Money Matters airs July 11th, 2013 NOON Pacific Standard Time! Lets talk
about those bonds you hold and what stocks we should replace them with!

Bonds:

Investors are finding no shelter from the worst corporate-bond losses in
almost five years as debt plunges for the most creditworthy to the riskiest
borrowers in every industry worldwide.

Company debentures erased 2.2 percent the last three months, the worst
quarterly decline since a 5.2 percent plunge in the period ended September
2008, when the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ignited the worst
credit crisis since the Great Depression, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
index data show. All 16 industries in the index lost during the period, from
a 0.7 percent decline for the debt of automakers to a 3.5 percent drop in
energy-company bonds. Now, if your financial advisor has you in BONDS, dump
him or her NOW! Read the facts here yourself:

More QE? "Please Ben, stop!"

Five years into the Quantitative Easing by the Federal Reserve and about 3
trillion dollars later, and Ben Bernanke your Fed Chief is starting to talk
about bringing it to a close once again, about his fifth or sixth time of
threatening to take away the money punch bowl without actually doing it.

He as well as many others are surely starting to wonder if all this money
printing known as QE is really doing any good. Sure the Dow Jones industrial
stock average is at a new high almost but seeing as only one in ten people
own stocks, this Dow high helps very few average Americans.

With unemployment still stuck in high gear and business balance sheets and
reports reflecting at best a stagnant economy, it begs the question just how
effective have all these QE programs have been.  They've helped the banks of
course, as is evident by another quarter of flawless trading and record
profits, but QE was never intended just to help out the banks, well, it
really kinda was, but they TOLD us it was to help joe blow get a job and
rescue his mortgage payment from defaulting.  Indeed a few homeowners got
their rent reduced, not me mind you, but after 5 years of this QE stuff, we
can pretty much draw some reasonable conclusions as to what it has and
hasn't done.

Banks love it, main street is still waiting, Wall Street swears by it and
the politicians that were in there during the crisis 5 years ago haven't
been fired, jailed or strung up by their buster browns, so there you have it
then.

The people in control of the money helped the people who manage it, who in
turn throw some of into the coffers of those who supported it, who appoint
the people who printed it who showered the money into the lobbies and vaults
of those who gamble with it who win more of it and then line the pockets of
all the above. Mean while the people who actually end of paying for all of
it, that's you and I by the way, get screwed.

I get it now, I'm on the wrong end of the money hose, and instead of getting
covered with money, I get hosed!

Markets and Your Money:

The market is up then down then up again.

The Feds print then threaten to not print then take it back. Sheesh!

What's an investor to do?

Be patient and don't jump around. Hold a modest portion of stocks but not
too much.

I always recommend about 10- 15 % in stocks but only in dividend paying
stocks. That's a lot less of a percentage then the financial advisors you
talk to recomend but keep in mind financial advisors just usually know two
things- stocks and bonds.

They are not economists; they make their money by taking from you and
usually only buy you a handful of mutual funds you could buy yourself. They
usually "over invest" you in these two assets and rarely tell you to just
get out of the market altogether. You are then being set up for possibly
HUGE losses by a flawed model. My opinion of course.

They will let you ride the market down in downturns and then tell you it
always comes back. I guess they never studied market history as there's been
plenty of times the markets take years to come back. If you don't believe
that one, take a look at the market in the late 60's or better yet, the last
12 years or so. It is about the same place its been since the year 2000!
Hold for the long term? I don't know how much "long" I have left in my
"term"!

Instead of just stocks and bonds, keep a good portion, more then half, in
plain old savings accounts where you won't lose it. Laddering bank Cds is
also a good strategy and laddering just means buying a handful of Cds with
different maturity dates like few 3 month Cds, a few 6 month Cds and
possibly buying a one and two year Cd.   That way you get at least some
interest and always have some money coming due.

A foreign currency or 2 makes sense to hedge against a US dollar crash. Take
a look at the Canadian dollar funds (FXC), the Swiss Franc Fund (FXF),  the
Australian dollar fund (FXA) and the Merk hard currency fund (MERKX).   I
recommend holding all four of these for true dollar diversification and you
might collect some interest payments along the way to boot. 

Although gold is down hard in the last few weeks, holding some gold and
silver coins is always good insurance against a catastrophic dollar collapse
and if it doesn't happen, pass the coins on to your kids. I also think a
bottom may be in soon and for it may be time to load the boat on some good
gold funds and stocks. Do NOT do anything now. Wait for me to let you know
when I start buying as more downside may be in store!

Top all this off with a Canadian savings account accomplished by a vacation
trip to Vancouver and maybe even a Swiss Annuity or Swiss "investment
service" (Email me for information) and you have a solid base for a true
diversified portfolio. You can save the money you pay to that advisor and
buy some more stock with the money instead. You will also be safe knowing
what you own and why you own it.

All for now, stay tuned for more in coming editions of this Money Matters
Update.
