Advisor and its representatives are in compliance with the current filing requirements imposed upon registered investment advisers by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the State of California. Advisor's web site and its emails of general distribution are limited to the dissemination of general information pertaining to its advisory services, together with access to additional investment-related information, publications, and links. Accordingly, the publication of Advisor's web site on the Internet or dissemination of informational emails should not be construed by any consumer and/or prospective client as Advisor's solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet. A copy of Advisor's current written disclosure statement discussing Advisor's business operations, services, and fees is available from Advisor upon written request.
You may also obtain publicly available information about Advisor through the SEC website as follows: http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov/IAPD/Content/Search/iapd_OrgSearch.aspx.

Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for a client or prospective client's investment portfolio. Certain portions of Advisor's web site (i.e. articles, commentaries, etc.) may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, Advisor's (and those of other investment and non-investment professionals) positions and/or recommendations as of a specific prior date.

Warm Up The Printing Presses
Warm Up The Printing Presses
- World banks promise more money
Europe is in the early stages of a deep recession. China is slowing, and the U.S. economy is rapidly grinding to a halt. Quick, to the printing presses! After all, why fix the problem when you can go deeper in debt to cover it up? As the answer to a debt problem certainly must be more debt, right? Who knows how long we’ll be able to live like Wimpy and get our hamburger today and gladly pay for it on Tuesday, it won’t be forever! Ben Bernanke claims to be a scholar of history. Too bad one of his idols appears to be Charles Ponzi, the inventor of the Ponzi Scheme!
There are a number of key issues that are seriously affecting us all, such as: Will there be more stimulus by the Fed? Who’s better, Obama or Romney? What about the impending fiscal cliff? Will Europe break-up or make-up? Is China set for a hard or soft landing? All of which are the very subjects of this week’s Smart Money with Keith Springer. However, The promise of more liquidity by the world banks will at least delay the inevitable bursting of the current liquidity bubble. It absolutely amazes me that the bond markets are allowing the ECB and the U.S. to rack up more debt. All it does is allow Bernanke and his counterparts to continue printing money, and not until the bond markets scream “No more!”, as they did in Greece, Italy and Spain, will the printing presses stop.
The good news is that with the 10-year treasury at about 1.5%, we have a little ways to go. The bad news is that when a crisis of confidence hits, it’s a knockout punch in the blink of an eye with no warning. It took just weeks for Greece’s bond rates to go from 4% to 50% and it will be no different for the rest of the developed world once the dominos start to fall. As Reinhart and Rogoff so eloquently say in This time is Different, and which I espouse in my book: Facing Goliath – How to Triumph in the Dangerous Market Ahead:
Investor Strategy
We don’t want to fight a market that is being pushed up by the Fed and the ECB. But we do want to be out or short at strategic times before the next major crash occurs, which is inevitable. Of course, you can’t just sit in the bank and make next to nothing either. There are plenty of ways to make money in this market and in the dangerous market ahead, but the key is to be tactical, not buy-and-hold, and to do it without all the risk. Be the expert or hire one.
Managing money, especially your own, is a daunting task and that’s where we can help. Our “Invest for need, not for greed” approach combined with our hands-on proprietary Top-Down Tactical™ investment management strategy can help you manage risk and deliver returns.
