What’s Under
Your Mattress?

I’m not trying
to get personal here, I don’t’ care about your magazines, or
other objects you may keep under your mattress. But we ask, how
frequently do you here someone say, ‘I’m going to put some
dollars under my mattress for a ‘rainy day’? Well, readers, we
have some ‘rainy days’ coming and the question will not only be:
-
Do you have
something under your mattress?
but, more importantly
-
What do you
have under your mattress?
For our readers
from Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand you are the
lucky ones for we assume what is under your mattress is your
local currency which has been doing great relative to the U.S.
Dollar.
The issue will
be of utmost important to U.S. investors because putting U.S.
Dollars under your mattress will surely have a disastrous
effect. With the U.S. Dollar on the verge of a total collapse
investors will awaken one day to discover their ‘nest egg’ has
disappeared.
Everyday I am
amazed by the comments of some of my American friends. These
are very intelligent guys and have for the most part quite a lot
of money (U.S. Dollars) invested in the financial markets. They
do not have a clue as to what I do in life nor do they have a
clue as to what is happening in the financial world with the
U.S. Dollar, the subprime mortgage issues, the Yen carrytrade
and the potential meltdown of our financial system within the
coming days, weeks and months. If these savvy guys ‘don’t get
it’ then I have to conclude that most Americans ‘don’t get it’.
The greatest
impact in the near future will probably be felt the hardest by
the U.S. investors with a declining U.S. Dollar and a declining
stock market and they just don’t get it. They think the problem
is over, after all the stock market as measured by the Dow Jones
Industrial Average is only about 5% off of its all-time high.
What problems, what crisis, why worry, the FED is here to bail
us out.
Speaking about
the FED, have you been following all of the news about Alan
Greenspan over the last 48 hours or so? He is now talking to
everyone in English that we can understand not all of the double
talk for which he was the master for so many years. Why has he
chosen to speak out now just hours before the FED will announce
their decision on interest rates in the United States? Of
course, he is promoting his new book, but is there another
reason? Perhaps, Greenspan is speaking out now in an attempt
(we stress attempt) to distance himself from the coming meltdown
in the financial markets. Does he know what’s coming? Does he
fear another sharp 1987 style collapse in the U.S. markets? We
will know the answers within the next few weeks.
As we said
above, it would appear to us that the greatest impact will be
born by the clueless U.S. investors. But for those U.S.
investors willing to make some sound investment decisions you
can still save your financial future but you need to get out of
the U.S. Dollar.
The easiest way
to accomplish this objective is to invest in markets outside of
the U.S. Our investment preference is buying the common shares
and long term warrants of companies within the commodity and
natural resource sector. These securities are mostly on
Canadian companies which means our investment dollars are now in
Canadian Dollars (a great place to be) and not in U.S. Dollars
(a terrible place to be).
The U.S.
Dollar, barring some political intervention or a stupid decision
by the administration to bomb Iran which may give the dollar a
brief rally, will fall off of the cliff very soon.
By investing in
the shares of the shares and long term warrants of mining
companies we are positioning ourselves to not only gain as the
share prices increase but also to benefit from the continuing
increase in the Canadian dollar.
Everyone loves
to look at a few charts so; we present you with charts as of the
close on Monday 17 September just hours before the FED
announcement on interest rates in the U.S. on the Gold, the
Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar. We would be the first to
agree that on a short term basis we are over-extended to the
upside in gold and the Canadian dollar but the long term trend
is definitely higher.



We now have
gold breaking out to the upside and looking better everyday as
well as the gold indices, XAU and HUI.
As our peers in
the business say, ‘gold is money’ and some are now saying that
‘silver is money’.
We agree, but
how much can you get under your mattress?
