Financial Hurricane Coming: Expert Issues Urgent Warnings
Precious metals guru Bill Holter sees dark times ahead for the U.S. economy and financial systems. With debt spiralling out of control and central banks on shaky ground, he warns that the entire system could come crashing down.
The U.S. currently owes over $1 trillion a year to service its debt, with that number set to double in coming years. Yet bond rates don't reflect this deteriorating creditworthiness.

Why Gold Belongs in Your Portfolio
Inflation is eroding purchasing power, even if it seems contained. With inflation at 3.4% last December, the dollar loses half its value in just 21 years. That's a 75% devaluation over a typical career. Gold provides an inflation hedge since it rises in dollar terms as inflation eats away at the dollar's strength.
Conflicts and sanctions disrupt supply chains overnight. Economic shockwaves cause asset declines. But gold is held directly and minimally affected. It diversifies portfolios heavily weighted in correlated assets like stocks. Holding uncorrelated assets like gold improves returns without raising risk.

What Does "F&%$ You" Money Really Buy?
What Does "F&%$ You" Money Really Buy? Alright, let's cut straight to the chase, I have been wanting to write this blog for some time now. Here’s the truth, served up in plain and simple English: When the rich and ultra-rich get down to brass tacks, what they really want after all those years of hustling is to just kick back and do absolutely nothing. They want to get out of their business, out of the complexities of life that they have gotten themselves snagged by.

Untangling the Complex Web of Legal Structures in Financial Ownership
In a groundbreaking revelation, economic researcher and author Chris Martenson has pulled back the curtain on a complex web of legal structures that challenge the widely held belief that individuals own the stocks and bonds in their investment portfolios, as highlighted by David Webb in his book "The Great Taking ." Through an in-depth analysis of US federal laws and the Uniform Commercial Code, Webb has uncovered a startling truth: most investors are not the direct owners of their financial assets but rather hold subordinated claims known as "security entitlements."

Asset Allocation
Life insurance, traditionally viewed as a protective measure, should be reevaluated as a critical asset class within an individual's portfolio of financial assets. This shift in perception is backed by deliberate policy decisions that recognize life insurance as a tool for self-reliance and financial independence. The government’s favourable stance on life insurance is not arbitrary. It is a strategic move designed to encourage people to take responsibility for their own financial security, thereby reducing dependency on government resources. By embedding unique tax benefits within life insurance - such as tax-free accumulation, tax-free loans, and tax-free death benefits - the government effectively promotes this asset class as a viable option for individuals seeking to manage their financial future.

Canadian Home Prices See Fourth Straight Monthly Decline
A key measure of home prices in Canada recorded its fourth consecutive monthly decline in January as the housing markets in Toronto and Vancouver weighed on the national picture.
The Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index, which tracks average prices in Canada's 11 largest metropolitan areas using publicly available data, fell 0.3% from December to January on a seasonally adjusted basis. However, 9 of the 11 markets included in the index saw price increases during that period.
