What About The Economy, You Ask?

Frequently I am asked my opinion on the financial situation currently going on. I do not have the answer, except knowing things are not going to get better for a long time.

I have looked for advise from individuals with knowledge in this field. I submit the following information for those wondering where the financial stability of the world is headed.



 
 
Predictions For The Rest Of 2010
Bob Chapman
First 6 months of 2010, Americans will continue to live in the 'unreality'…the period between July and October is when the financial fireworks will begin. The Fed will act unilaterally for its own survival irrespective of any political implications …(source is from insider at FED meetings). In the last quarter of the year we could even see Martial law, which is more likely for the first 6 months of 2011. The FDIC will collapse in September 2010. Commercial real estate is set to implode in 2010. Wall Street believes there is a 100% chance of crash in bond market, especially municipals sometime during 2010. The dollar will be devalued by the end of 2010.
Gerald Celente
Terrorist attacks and the "Crash of 2010". 40% devaluation at first = the greatest depression, worse than the Great Depression.
Igor Panarin
In the summer of 1998, based on classified data about the state of the U.S. economy and society supplied to him by fellow FAPSI analysts, Panarin forecast the probable disintegration of the USA into six parts in 2010 (at the end of June – start of July 2010, as he specified on 10 December 2000
Neithercorps
Have projected that the third and final stage of the economic collapse will begin sometime in 2010. Barring some kind of financial miracle, or the complete dissolution of the Federal Reserve, a snowballing implosion should become visible by the end of this year. The behavior of the Fed, along with that of the IMF seems to suggest that they are preparing for a focused collapse, peaking within weeks or months instead of years, and the most certain fall of the dollar.
Webbots
July and onward things get very strange. Revolution. Dollar dead by November 2010.
LEAP 20/20
2010 Outlook from a group of 25 European Economists with a 90% accuracy rating- We anticipate a sudden intensification of the crisis in the second half of 2010, caused by a double effect of a catching up of events which were temporarily « frozen » in the second half of 2009 and the impossibility of maintaining the palliative remedies of past years. There is a perfect (economic) storm coming within the global financial markets and inevitable pressure on interest rates in the U.S. The injection of zero-cost money into the Western banking system has failed to restart the economy. Despite zero-cost money, the system has stalled. It is slowly rolling over into the next big down wave, which in Elliott Wave terminology will be Super Cycle Wave Three, or in common language, "THE BIG ONE, WHERE WE ALL GO OVER THE FALLS TOGETHER."
Joseph Meyer
Forecasts on the economy. He sees the real estate market continuing to decline, and advised people to invest in precious metals and commodities, as well as keeping cash at home in a safe place in case of bank closures. The stock market, after peaking in March or April (around 10,850), will fall all the way down to somewhere between 2450 and 4125 during the next leg down.
Harry Dent (investor)
A very likely second crash by late 2010. The coming depression (starts around the summer of 2010). Dent sees the stock market–currently benefiting from upward momentum and peppier economic activity–headed for a very brief and pleasant run that could lift the Dow to the 10,700-11,500 range from its current level of about 10.090. But then, he sees the market running into a stone wall, which will be followed by a nasty stock market decline (starting in early March to late April) that could drive down the Dow later this year to 3,000-5,000, with his best guess about 3,800.
Richard Russell (Market Expert)
(from 2/3/10) says the bear market rally is in the process of breaking up and panic is on the way. He sees a full correction of the entire rise from the 2002 low of 7,286 to the bull market high of 14,164.53 set on October 9, 2007. The halfway level of retracement was 10,725. The total retracement was to 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009. He now sees the Dow falling to 7,286 and if that level does not hold, “I see it sinking to its 1980-82 area low of Dow 1,000.” The current action is the worst he has ever seen. (Bob Chapman says for Russell to make such a startling statement is unusual because he never cries wolf and is almost never wrong)
Niño Becerra (Professor of Economics)
Predicted in July 2007 that what was going to happen was that by mid 2010 there is going to be a crisis only comparable to the one in 1929. From October 2009 to May 2010 people will begin to see things are not working out the way the government thought. In May of 2010, the crisis starts with all its force and continues and strengthens throughout 2011. He accurately predicted the current recession and market crash to the month.
Lyndon Larouche
The crisis is accelerating and will become worse week by week until the whole system grinds into a collapse, likely sometime this year. And when it does, it will be the greatest collapse since the fall of the Roman Empire.
WALL STREET JOURNAL- (2/2010)
"You are witnessing a fundamental breakdown of the American dream, a systemic breakdown of our democracy and our capitalism, a breakdown driven by the blind insatiable greed of Wall Street: Dysfunctional government, insane markets, economy on the brink. Multiply that many times over and see a world in total disarray. Ignore it now, tomorrow will be too late."
Eric deCarbonnel
There is no precedence for the panic and chaos that will occur in 2010. The global food supply/demand picture has NEVER been so out of balance. The 2010 food crisis will rearrange economic, financial, and political order of the world, and those who aren’t prepared will suffer terrible losses…As the dollar loses most of its value, America's savings will be wiped out. The US service economy will disintegrate as consumer spending in real terms (ie: gold or other stable currencies) drops like a rock, bringing unemployment to levels exceeding the great depression. Public health services/programs will be cut back, as individuals will have no savings/credit/income to pay for medical care. Value of most investments will be wiped out. The US debt markets will freeze again, this time permanently. There will be no buyers except at the most drastic of firesale prices, and inflation will wipe away value before credit markets have any chance at recovery. The panic in 2010 will see the majority of derivatives end up worthless. Since global derivatives markets operate on the assumption of the continued stable value of the dollar and short term US debt, using derivatives to bet against the dollar is NOT a good idea. The panic in 2010 will see the majority of derivatives end up worthless. The dollar's collapse will rob US consumers of all purchasing power, and any investment depend on US consumption will lose most of its value.
Alpha-Omega Report (Trends Forecast)
Going into 2010, the trends seemed to lead nowhere or towards oblivion. Geo-politically, the Middle East was and is trending towards some sort of military clash, most likely by mid-year, but perhaps sooner…At the moment, it seems 2010 is shaping up to be a year of absolute chaos. We see trends for war between Israel and her neighbors that will shake every facet of human activity…In the event of war, we see all other societal trends being thoroughly disrupted…Iran will most likely shut off the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf. This will have immense consequences for the world’s economy. Oil prices will skyrocket into the stratosphere and become so expensive that world’s economies will collapse..There are also trend indicators along economic lines that point to the potential for a total meltdown of the world’s financial system with major crisis points developing with the change of each quarter of the year. 2010 could be a meltdown year for the world’s economy, regardless of what goes on in the Middle East.
Robin Landry (Market Expert)
I believe we are headed to new market highs between 10780-11241 over the next few months. The most likely time frame for the top is the April-May area. Remember the evidence IMHO still says we are in a bear market rally with a major decline to follow once this rally ends.
John P. Hussman, Ph.D.
In my estimation, there is still close to an 80% probability (Bayes' Rule) that a second market plunge and economic downturn will unfold during 2010.
Robert Prechter
Founder of Elliott Wave International, implores retail investors stay away from the markets… for now. Prechter, who was bullish near the lows in March 2009, now says the stock market “is in a topping area, “predicting another crash in 2010 that will bring stocks below the 2009 low. His word to the wise, “be patient, don’t rush it” keep your money in cash and cash equivalents.
Richard Mogey
Current Research Director at the Foundation for the Study of Cycles- Because of a convergence of numerous cycles all at once, the stock market may go up for a little while, but will crash in 2010 and reach all-time lows late 2012. Mogey says that the 2008 crash was nothing compared to the coming crash. Gold may correct in 2009, but will go up in 2010 and peak in 2011. Silver will follow gold.
James Howard Kunstler (January 2010)
The economy as we’ve known it simply can’t go on, which James Howard Kunstler has been saying all along. The shenanigans with stimulus and bailouts will just compound the central problem with debt. There’s not much longer to go before the whole thing collapses and dies. Six Months to Live- The economy that is. Especially the part that consists of swapping paper certificates. That’s the buzz I’ve gotten the first two weeks of 2010.
Peter Schiff (3/13/2010)
"In my opinion, the market is now perfectly positioned for a massive dollar sell-off. The fundamentals for the dollar in 2010 are so much worse than they were in 2008 that it is hard to imagine a reason for people to keep buying once a modicum of political and monetary stability can be restored in Europe. In fact, the euro has recently stabilized. My gut is that the dollar sell-off will be sharp and swift. Once the dollar decisively breaks below last year's lows, many of the traders who jumped ship in the recent rally will look to re-establish their positions. This will accelerate the dollar's descent and refocus everyone's attention back on the financial train-wreck unfolding in the United States. Any doubts about the future of the U.S. dollar should be laid to rest by today's announcement that San Francisco Federal Reserve President Janet Yellen has been nominated to be Vice Chair of the Fed's Board of Governors, and thereby a voter on the interest rate-setting, seven-member Open Markets Committee. Ms. Yellen has earned a reputation for being one of the biggest inflation doves among the Fed's top players." Schiff is famous for his accurate predictions of the economic events of 2008.
Lindsey Williams
Dollar devalued 30-50% by end of year. It will become very difficult for the average American to afford to buy even food. This was revealed to him through an Illuminati insider.
Unnamed Economist working for US Gov't (GLP)
What we have experienced the last two years is nothing to what we are going to experience this year. If you have a job now…you may not have it in three to six months. (by August 2010). Stock market will fall = great depression. Foreign investors stop financing debt = collapse. 6.2 million are about to lose their unemployment.
Jimmy "Doomsday"
DOW will fall below 7,000 before mid summer 2010- Dollar will rise above 95 on the dollar index before mid summer 2010- Gold will bottom out below $800 before mid summer 2010- Silver will bottom out below $10 before mid summer 2010- CA debt implosion will start its major downturn by mid summer and hit crisis mode before Q4 2010- Dollar index will plunge below 65 between Q3 and Q4 2010- Commercial real estate will hit crisis mode in Q4 2010- Over 35 states will be bailed out by end of Q4 2010 by the US tax payer End of Q4 2010 gold will hit $1,600 and silver jump to $35 an oz.
George Ure
Markets up until mid-to-late-summer. Then "all hell breaks lose" from then on through the rest of the year.

I know this stuff isn't happy talk and you might be wondering how someone who promotes positive energy and thoughts would put this on their site. Because I care about my clients and insist they know the truth when they ask me something.

My recommendation remains the same....step away from the drama, disconnect from negative people, create the reality you want, stay in the light. But also think about the future of you and your family. Be prepared and relax while the rest let the monkey mind run wild.

For most of us, none of this really matters at this point and we are simply along for the ride. I say enjoy each and every day with gratitude and compassion. Those are what we will sorely need if these people are at all correct.

And: this is how to get rich it you want to follow the money train.

It's That Day Again.

Oh my, the blue house. Over a hundred years old and full of many, many activities.
I was well into my study of parapsychology at this time and perhaps that had something to do with the events of this house.

My daughters told me many stories of the paranormal; from tennis shoes walking across the floor to playing with a little boy that came in through the window of her bedroom.

Before long only the girls and I remained living in the house. Weekends they would visit their father I held meetings for those interested in learning and experiencing psychic things.

Strange things occurred which seem unbelievable now. What I did learn was to leave well enough alone and don't play with the dark side of energy.

Thinking Of Having A Family? Already do?

http://shitmykidsruined.com/

You simply have to check out this funny blog. The pictures say it all. It really proves, we love our children unconditionally.

Happy Days Are Here Again!

Or are they? Perhaps we as simply being encouraged to believe things are getting better. Read, seek out information then make intelligent and informed decisions as to the course you and your family should follow.

Remember the news media has become more of an entertainment segment than actually doing the old fashion job of investigation into truth.

The following short clip reveals a small insight as to where our country is headed.

Janey Cutler - Britain's Got Talent 2010 - Auditions Week 4

This is why you never give up on your dream! The reason she finally made it just might be due to her positive attitude and energy. Longevity and happiness in life are directly related to how you choose to live it.

Enjoy living yours today and don't be afraid to reach for the brass ring on your merry-go-round!

Start Your Week With Overall Enthusiasm!

It's Monday again! Boy the weeks just keep rolling past don't they. We get to plan out our week and squeeze in all those demanding extras which have a way of cropping up. Perhaps we need to remain enthusiastic about life without stressing over it. I use to be quite rigid about my schedule.

Monday- laundry

Tuesday- Ironing

Wednesday- clean upstairs

Thursday- clean downstairs

Friday- bake and shop for food

Saturday- outside work

Sunday- spend with family or catch up on unfinished chores

We had our spring cleaning which meant a thorough deep cleaning of everything. Which was repeated during the fall. Floors, windows, carpets all scrubbed clean.

No longer am I such a control freak.  Now, when you can't see out the window, clean it. If you trip over something pick it up and put it away. When you find the floor, sweep it. If you can't tell what color it is, wash it.

I make time for family and friends more often. Sometimes I even spend time on myself for a change. I spend time online blogging and learning, probably more than I should.

So far nobody has fallen ill or died and only occasionally has it become impossible to find something if you look hard enough. But after a while even this can become a stress situation as well. Life is about balance and what works best for you and your family.

Some form of routine can be helpful in keeping you from experiencing total chaos, and I have decided to go back to a little more self discipline. Every once in a while you need to reevaluate what works and doesn't work for you in life and make changes. Remain fluid in thinking and don't forget input from the rest of the family, cooperation is key in success.

But however you choose to live life....do it with overall enthusiasm!

For My Mother!

Motherhood is the most difficult task any woman can take on. The hours are endless, worries compound over the years, at times it feels thankless and you always wonder if you are doing enough.



But a single smile erases you fears. Every first a child achieves provides a glow in you heart, knowing you are there supporting their goals. Seeing them grow into a secure and loving individual with enthusiasm for life provides all proof necessary you have done your best.



Happy Mother's Day Mom, and to all women out there doing what they can to nurture the tiny souls sent to them. Although some days will seem difficult, soon enough your birds will fly from the nest, enjoy each moment!

Both of my daughters have gone on to have amazing families of their own. I am very proud of them. Actually, if I am honest about it, I think they are better at the job than I was.

My advise is simple: take what you mother did right and improve upon it, take what she did wrong and change it for the better. Most of all....love them unconditionally.

What Will You Do Today?

Sure...it's the weekend and your tired. Work this week was draining, looking forward to today is what kept you going. You certainly you deserve a break. 

 

But what you do today and tomorrow will be for yourself and your family. As George Ure states on his web site, Urban Survival, "you should work harder for yourself than your employer." Which means...get off the couch and get moving.

Inside all of us hides a "Worker bee," which simply needs motivated. So today find something to learn, start, complete, experience or share.

Get off that couch and be productive. Set a good example and teach  strong work ethics to your children. Hard work makes you stronger, builds a better body, and sweat purifies out toxins, all positive things. 

Plant a garden for your family. Teach something new to your children. Help someone in need of another hand. Repair what needs fixed. Clean up the environment around you. Be creative with new ideas to promote family unity.

Nothing makes you feel better than completing something and reaching a goal. It actually can be FUN working alongside those you love. 

Above all....move it or loose it!  Most of those who experience longevity are very hard workers.

Imagine where the world would be if our ancestors were couch potatoes!  Enjoy!

Freaky Friday Again.

This morning I will tell you about living in the little yellow bungalow outside a very small community. Generally it was a nice quiet place where nothing out of the ordinary happened....except once.

My father-in-law(first husband's) was in critical condition in the hospital after suffering a heart attack. The doctors kept assuring the family he was recovering nicely, but that never rang true to me. When our eyes met, he and I both knew he wasn't going to make it.

One day, while at home, loud church bells began to ring in our living room. We had nothing in the house capable of making anything near that sound. It was clear, crisp and felt like it hung in the air behind me.

Our daughters ran out of their bedroom and wanted to know where the bells came from. They had heard them as well. I told them I wasn't sure but it meant pap was going to go to heaven.

Shortly after that he did. I have never heard them again, even with the passing of others close to me.

Step Away From The Drama.

To many problems in your life? Tired of listening to yourself whine and complain? Stuck in negative situations? Feel like life has spun out of control? Does your energy felt drained? Tired of others whining and complaining?

Sound like you or someone close to you is suffering from:

that fatal disease known as:

This disease strikes any age or gender and has no regard for social status. Although it might seems more apparent in females with some financial stability, it wracks havoc wherever it gains a foothold. It does seem to be contagious among certain groups. It also tends to exhibit addictive tendencies. It is a tough disease to cure but with determination it may be eradicated.

How.....Walk Away From The Drama!!!

Yes, it sounds so simple, but I assure you it won't be that easy. Your must really want to be cured and willing to go through a rather difficult detox.

Should you decide to follow through, your only hope of achieving a sense of well being is to follow the following procedures. 

First step: Accept responsibility for your free will! Be accountable for yourself, to yourself.

  

Second Step: Constantly monitor your every word, action and deed for negative thinking. Sure this part can be exhausting at first but it gets easier as you stick to it on a daily basis. Don't be surprised to find yourself doing it on a second to second basis when you first start, due to heightened sensitivities.

Third Step: Discontinue relationships with other Drama Queen immediately, they are toxic and will hamper your recovery.

Fourth Step: Refuse to participate in negative conversations, especially gossip. Practice positive thinking and take positive actions.

Fifth Step: This is perhaps the most difficult part of the cure....love yourself with a healthy ego! 

Sixth Step: Listen to others with compassion, experience sympathy for others.

Warning - You may experience some long term side effects: you may feel pounds lighter, have a wonderful glow, or even find interesting new friends and interests.

I Believe In The Power To Heal!

I am totally convinced we have the power to heal or transform things with loving intentions.

Our planet is facing several dire situations, providing a perfect opportunity to practice sending out healing energy to the universe.

I ask this morning that you take a second or two to send healing love and thoughts to our seas in particular.

I am well aware some of you will think I have dropped off into the deep end, no pun intended, but what do you have to lose by joining me.

Please continue to send out this energy for the benefit of our planet and humanity on a daily basis.

If we don't change things....and soon....our life as we know it will not be the same.


Thank you for indulging me.

Eat The Weeds? Why Not!

This gentleman has dedicated his life to learning how to live off the land. Of course we would all prefer regular food, but what if that wasn't readily available.

There are over a hundred videos teaching you what is out there, what is safe to eat and how to prepare them. What a wonderful gift....for free!

Look around and see what is growing near you. Become an adventurist. I am going to try some pine needle tea after watching the video about how good it tastes.

But remember....when in doubt....forget about it!

Never put yourself or loved ones in danger of poisoning.

Wakie-Wakie

Well....are you awake yet? I mean really awake, aware, living in the moment! Do you see the "all"? Have you stepped back and taken a good long look at your spiritual and human self?

I used to live in a room full of mirrors
all I could see was ME
well I take my spirit and crash my mirrors.
Now the whole world is there for me to see....... Jimi Hendrix

Become aware, detached from the drama, create and send positive thoughts for your life and all living things.

Live life unconditionally. Enjoy the moment. Appreciate the opportunity to experience being here to the fullest.

Love and feel comforted.

Look Up And See What Is Going On.

This weatherman had the courage to actually tell his viewers what was going on above them.

Have you noticed unusual trails left behind by aircraft? That is what he is talking about. Pay attention to the weather forecast. If they are calling for clear and warm weather moving in, within a day or two we will no longer see the beautiful sky. Instead a gauzy haze covers that space. Observe that they always start wherever the sun is located, as if to hide it from us. Or is it....us from the sun?



Scot Stevens is another brave weatherman who established a web site addressing this issue. His concern was how this practice effects the earth and humanity in the long term. Take time to watch his videos, they are eye openers.

I do not know the reason for their doing this and have read many ideas and concepts attempting to find out. From my reading though it appears there may be multiple purposes from shielding us from harmful rays, to space wars. Research it and make you own conclusion. In reality it won't matter, damage is being done daily.

My goal is to simply make you more aware things are not as they seem. I have been working in the garden and there is something quite wrong with mother nature. Our planet is dying instead of thriving and it makes me sad. We are loosing our bees, bats, oceans and sky to poisons.

I do not have any answers....only concern for the future of this planet and fear our children's, children will suffer greatly for our lack of respect and care of this beautiful space in the universe.

If the earth is a reflection of the human spirit, the state of the spirit is not doing well. Renew your spiritual energy with positive purpose. Meditate and pray daily, send out loving intentions.

Take personal responsibility for your interactions with the earth. Learn how to nurture the soil, practice conservation, renew and reuse, respect nature. Teach those around you to do the same. Respect humanity as well.

I am certain there are many, many ways to become involved in saving our planet should you be motivated to do so. Simply Google...saving the earth where you will find 57,400,000 links.

Sometime Life Just Seems To Get You Down!

The cute video above is a great example of several things. 

It shows how we can allow ourselves to get into negative moods and feel sorry for ourselves.

It shows how sometime you need a good friend to pull you out of your self made misery.

It shows how a sense of humor and music has the ability to change our thoughts and energy.

It shows how if you simply make a small effort your ability to change things from negative to positive occurs quite effortlessly.

So, if you just having one of those days....just keep swimming, just keep swimming!
