Investing in the Stock Market: Quick Guide for BeginnersHave you been eyeing the stock market and wishing you could get in on the action but have felt too intimidated to try? It’s a common complaint that beginners have, as it can seem overwhelming, confusing, risky and downright frustrating when you don’t know anything about it. But don’t let this common reaction hold you back, as with a few simple tips and information you’ll feel informed enough to invest in the stock market.

Here’s a quick guide meant for beginners wishing to invest in the stock market for the first time.

Understand There are Different Ways to Invest

One of the first lessons for beginners to learn is that there are different ways to invest in stocks. Simply saying you want to invest in the stock market doesn’t narrow it down. Some of the different ways you can invest are to do it all on your own and choose the individual companies/stocks to invest in, invest in your employer’s 401(k), or you may prefer to use an investment manager even just in the beginning.

Inflation is a Policy Decision

~ admin ~ 2 Comments

Inflation results from policies implemented by governments, commercial banks and central banks.

A Few Consequences

currencyGary Christenson – More currency placed into circulation devalues all currency units. We can thank fractional reserve banking, deficit spending and QE.

1- Stock markets rise as each currency unit buys less.

2- Commodities rise in price.

3- Incomes, taxes, debt and government expenditures rise.

4- Politicians spend more currency units as they reward friends and buy votes.

5- The wealthy become richer and the poor and middle class suffer as prices rise while wages stagnate. More stagflation is coming in 2018 – 2020.

6- Inflation discourages savings and encourages spending and debt creation.

Examine official national debt and M3 currency in circulation at ten year intervals on a log scale for a big-picture perspective. Continue reading →

Gold Price Will Explode When System Breaks [Video]

longGreg Hunter – Private investor Gordon Long contends the price of gold will shock the world when it revalues to reflect the massive amount of currency that has been printed globally. Long explains, “That is correct, and it won’t be something that is gradual, it will be very abrupt.  The system will break . . . and the financial markets will freeze up.

When they come out of the other end of that freeze, and it may be a number of weeks because the next crisis will be global and much more complex than 2008.  We could control that with the Federal Reserve . . . and this one you cannot do because you cannot get agreement with all those countries.  Never mind understanding the complexity.  So, when we come out on the other side . . . there will be a massive revaluation in the U.S. dollar. . . .

Gold could jump to $5,000 or $10,000 an ounce or something like that. . . . It will be massive.  They will have to put some stability in the monetary system, and the only way they can do it is having something they cannot print.  This is what has gotten us into this problem.  We have to get back to sound money.  It will have to be gold.  What percentage of backing will determine what the value the gold will be.”

Dollar & Markets at Risk to Plummet [Video]

williamsGreg Hunter – Economist John Williams is putting out a rare “Alert” on his popular ShadowStats.com newsletter. What does Williams see that scares him?  Williams explains, “There are several factors.

Number one, I think we are at risk of an extreme market reaction just tied to the economy slowing down unexpectedly against headline expectations.  That is going to mess up the Fed’s planning for raising rates and liquidating their balance sheet.  That is going to force them back to quantitative easing (money printing).

That, in turn, will savage the dollar.   As the dollar plummets, so will U.S. stock prices.  They are heavily supported by the influx of capital from abroad. . . . Given the underlying fundamentals in the markets and in the economy, I think all the components are in place for one of the great financial panics of all time.” Continue reading →

Crash of Biblical Proportions Likely in 2016 [Video]

polny Greg Hunter – Market cycle analyst Bo Polny says don’t bet on the U.S. dollar or the stock market to hold their value in 2016. Polny contends, “The dollar is going down with the stock market.  It did in December of 2015.  It did in August of 2015, and the dollar is falling right now again.  As soon as the stock market gets started to the downside, the dollar is going to go with it again.  So, the dollar is going to go down with the stock market with this next meltdown.

What’s going to end up happening when they hit the cycle low is what they did the last low (2009) and had QE 3.  Guess what, that’s going to mean (in the next crash) QE 4.  Then, that will mean they will be printing money like crazy.

Let’s say there is a 20% drop on the dollar, even 10%.  Everybody goes to sell the bonds.  If the 10-year is only giving 1.7% yield, if the dollar drops 10%, they are losing 8%.  If the dollar drops 20%, they are losing 18%.  So, all these countries will be losing on billions or trillions of dollars of bonds, and then you will get a fire sale on bonds. Everyone will be dumping the bonds because they will be trying to get rid of them as fast as possible.  That is what’s going to happen when they announce QE 4.”
