The Stock Market and Economy: A Return to the 1970’s in Form? Posted: 02 Apr 2008 05:11 AM CDT We are entering, in my opinion, a period of economic and stock market turbulence that will affect the pocketbooks of our citizenry going forward. Commentators on financial television have been reluctant until recent days to make the analogy of the present period to the awful economic period of the 1970’s, which has been my thesis for some time. As I have been pointing out for many months in my investment blog, at http://www.reiznersway.com/articles/index.html, the current strength in oil (reaching $100 per barrel), gold (over $850 per ounce), gold stock, oil stock and oil service stocks are mimicking in form the inflation racked 1970’s. As well, the dollar is a weak currency now, much like it was in the late 1970’s, when the Swiss franc was popularized as a hard money investment. In the December 2007 period, unemployment stepped up to 5% and inflation has been rearing its ugly head in recent months. If unemployment continues to rise, I believe that we may find ourselves in a medium level stagflation. The combination of rising prices and a weakening economy is not a good formula for the welfare of consumers, not to mention the stock market. The stock market has started out in 2008 on the wrong foot. I will stick my head out to say that the telltale similarities of the current gold, oil, currency markets, and inflation and potentially rising unemployment, to 1970’s market behavior leads me to the opinion that the stock market may continue downward or at least linger in a trading range in the spirit, but probably not the severity of the 1970’s. In other words, it is possible we may see a contraction in the price earnings ratio of the market. A caveat here is that should the Federal Reserve step in aggressively to lower key rates to counter the housing and banking decline, it would be constructive for the stock market. But as has been said widely, this would put the Fed between a rock and a hard place, as the dollar and inflation levels would likely react badly to a looser monetary policy. Interest rates would rise in inflation, putting pressure on the stock market. If it walks like a duck, then there are ways to make money on the 1970’s analogy. I have been invested in gold coins and bullion for some time and have seen the value of those investments soar. As well, I own international oil stocks and shares in an oil service company, which have done well. Even the railroads which did well in the late 1970’s have been resurging. On the other hand, we have seen bank and mortgage related stocks decline in the last few months, as I anticipated in my blog article, Bad Banks, Good Banks during a Credit Crunch: Opportunity Knocks. Even national politics seem to be swinging back leftward, which, according to the platform of some major democratic candidates for president, would lead to more regulation, less free trade and the redistribution of wealth (an action which would not create any additional national wealth). The stock market might find itself in a bind if unenlightened 1970’s era policies are enacted after the election. So even though the gold and oil markets have been extremely strong lately, and I have stated in my investment blog that I believed that there may be a temporary cresting of inflation hedges - the long run still appears to bode well for the oil and (especially) the gold sectors. I also anticipate writing a blog entry on the possibility of buying in the future, strong banks that have been depressed in pricein sympathy with the weak banks. So stay tuned.

Make a Fortune Buying & Selling Gold Coins Posted: 01 Apr 2008 05:11 AM CDT Did You Know That Many Financial Investment Experts Are Recommending Their Clients BUY Very Specific Gold Coins? Why? Because We’re Now At The Very Start Of Long Term GOLD BOOM - One Top Investment Bank Thinks That Gold Prices Could Increase By As Much As 400%! Now… Find Out Exactly Which Gold Coins Could Experience A Sharp Increase In Value, Where You Can Get Them & How You Could Make A Fortune By Buying & Selling Rare & Gold Coins…NOW! Gold has always been a highly desired commodity throughout history. But did you know that now could be one of the most exciting times to own certain types of gold coins? In fact, one top investment bank believes that gold could increase in value sharply (by as much as 400%) and some of the very elite financial advisors in the world are telling their millionaire clients to start scooping up as many gold coins that they can get their hands on. They know something that practically no-one else knows… but the good news is that you don’t have to be wealthy to buy and sell gold coins for huge profits. Nor do you have to be a coin collector or investment guru. This book will show you exactly which coins to buy (and from where) to exploit the coming gold craze. But first, a short history on gold that may shock you… There are some startling events going on in the world right now which gold experts are saying could lead to the biggest GOLD BOOM in history. In fact, one top global investment bank thinks that gold could see as much as a 400% rise in value from current levels (more on that a bit later). Why? Because a very specific set of economic & global conditions exist today, and the last time similar conditions existed gold prices went BEZERK. So much so that some people who owned gold were able to sell at the peak and actually buy a house with their profits. Here are a few notes on golds performance over the past few decades: During the 1960’s investment in gold coins brought about average annual returns of 100%. ——————————————————————————– Between 1972 and 1974 the gold coins saw increases of 350% (while the stock market was heading desperately south). ——————————————————————————– Then between 1976 to 1980 gold brought investors an average of 300% per year. ——————————————————————————– This very same type of gold saw annual increases of 340% between 1987 & 1989. ——————————————————————————– The average investor keeps piling into stocks, real estate & bonds - completely unaware that gold has been outperforming their risky holdings every year since 2000 (and the last couple of years have seen double returns over stocks). But now, investment in gold coins could EXPLODE as gold prices are set to test new highs. This is exactly why many investment experts are telling their wealthy clients to buy specific gold coins - it’s an absolutely perfect way of owning gold and benefiting from any boom in the price of gold. The exciting thing is that you do NOT need to be even remotely rich to make a fortune buying & selling gold coins…you just need to know a few simple rules that only a select few know (and would rather a guide like this was never written). As The Price Of Gold Increases, Specific Gold Coins Could SOAR In Value… Gold coins offer all the upside potential of the gold boom, yet most savvy investors have never even heard of it as an investment. Right now, almost no-one has caught on to the immense value of this “secret” type of gold - very specific types of gold coins. In fact you can get loads of them on eBay and the sellers don’t understand that they may be handing away a potential fortune. You’ll learn more about this inside. But first, a quick lesson in economics - you need to know why many experts believe that gold prices are going to be heading upwards… Why The Price Of Gold Is Going Up (And Why It Can’t Be Stopped) Right now the U.S. government is desperately trying to fight deflation (lower prices) and it has categorically stated that it will look to prevent this at any cost. The long and short of this is that more “paper money” becomes available while the amount of gold stays constant. Can you think what this means? The same amount of gold costs more paper dollars (or “money”) to buy. So as the amount of money being printed goes up …#34; so gold prices strengthen. It’s expected that a significant amount of money will be printed over the next few years, and you don’t need me to tell you what that means for where gold prices are headed. Sadly, there are even more reasons why the current gold run could well be the start of a huge bull run. Traditionally, gold has always performed strongly during times of uncertainty. I say “sadly” because as the long running war on terrorism sees no end in sight the amount of paper money needed to pay for conflicts/wars etc rises. This huge increase in paper money will only continue to peg up the gold prices. And what do you suppose this means for those of us who own very specific types of gold coins….?
