Interesting how varied the reports of our current economic times are. Some people are proclaiming the end of the recession is near while others are foretelling doom and gloom on an epic scale.

I suppose somewhere within it all lies the truth. Nice trhing about being a doom and gloomer, I only have to be right once to justify my position. The optimists have to be right every single time.....

Officially ?Out Of Control?

Filed under: General Editorial

Dear Extended Family,

I sent you a certain few emails that I consider to be the most important communications issued in my career that started in 1958.

I am the son of what I know to have been the greatest Lone Wolf trader in Wall Street history ever, Bertram J. Seligman. He was a past master at his business and believed to be a market sensitive. I apprenticed to him, learned from him and inherited some of his ability, not all however.

From this background of experience understanding and sensitivity the following flows.

The emails of note:

1. Said, "This is it."
2. Said, "It is now."

This communication is to inform you as of 2/13/09, "It is totally out of control." There is no longer any means of reversal of the beginning of the final phase of the downward spiral now solidly set in motion.

For your sake, protect yourselves immediately.

Be prepared for disruptions in distribution common to hyperinflation.

1. You should have already distanced yourself from your financial agents. If you haven?t you are headed for significant displeasure and strain.
2. Make sure you stay three months ahead on necessary items that could experience distribution delays such as prescribed medicine and preferred foods.
3. Even though real estate is far from a buy, if you can afford a second home outside of major cities it would serve a good purpose.
4. Own gold.
5. Consider that good gold shares of non-US companies incorporated in a non-US country operating in third country, traded on multiple exchanges are a means of money expatriation legally and in broad daylight if required.
6. For currencies, all you can do is own a spread held by a true custodial ship wherever that might be.

Simply said, as of Friday February 13th, 2009 the situation is in confirmed "Out of Control" mode as this well engineered downward spiral enters into a terminal phase.

The motive was profit and degree of the disintegration caused in the pursuit of this goal was not anticipated.

The key event was when Lehman was flushed - all hell broke loose. The hell cannot be contained in any practical manner.

I seek nothing of you, but the protection of yourselves.

Respectfully yours,
Jim

Let me see, a man who has a vested interest in gold and gold prices releases an EOTWAWKI report with a strong suggestion to buy gold.

Nope, nothing wrong here!

How many of these end of the world threads are we going to have? Every freakin' cook out there is predicting something, and most of them have no more insight into the situation than you or I. They pretend to have knowledge, but they are simly crackpots or they have an agenda (like this guy trying to push gold).

Sometimes a tinfoil hat does come in handy. The author is probably a little off his rocker, but that doesn't mean that parts of what he says could ring true. It is best to have a backup plan in case the economy really does go in the shitter. Even a broken clock....well...you know....

Yeah the government is handing out 3 trillion dollars and there's nothing at all to be worried about... :roll:

Do Americans just not understand the concept that debt means things that will need to be paid? Yeah huge just debts disappear even when you have no income. as long as you close your eyes and wish hard enough
