Conclusion
Looking at a brief list (<1 page) of looming crises coupled with the best investment strategy for each, I come to this even shorter conclusion. The common Denominator is going long Gold and Silver. Secondary Strategies would be shorting a) The Dollar, b) Bond Markets and c) Mega Banks (could be bailed out?) in that order.
Risk vs Investment
- Dollar Collapse:- Everyone getting out of the Dollar + QE-finity = 90%+ now.
- Short the Dollar – anytime as it has little upside; and/or
- Long on Gold and Silver – as the ultimate currency hedge.
- Other currencies lose value:- QE-Finity in EU, UK & Japan = 90% soon.
- Short Currencies & Long Gold and Silver as above.
- Bond Market Collapse:- Yields at 200 yr low, will rise some day = 90%+ 3yrs.
- Short the Bond Market – when yields break out to the upside; and/or
- Short the Mega Banks – many banks will collapse; and/or
- Long Gold and Silver – on inflation expectation with rates rise lagging.
- Nymex and/or Comex Failure:- Delivery failure = 60%+ 3-5 years.
- Long on Gold, Silver and other commodities – as shorts cover;
- Short the Mega Banks – as they have Naked Shorts
- Derivatives market collapse:- Triggered by any of the others = 80%+.
- Short the Mega Banks – they are the big holders of Derivatives.
- Systemic Collapse:- Triggered by any of the others – Back to Barter?
- Long on Gold and Silver – Would be needed for Barter Trade.
- War:- Likely in Middle East – USA, Russia, China etc likely to stay out.
- Long on Gold and Silver - Would have positive effect but short lived?
- Long Oil – as disruptions to Middle East supply would raise prices.
- Social Unrest and Anarchy:-
- Long on Gold and Silver - Would have positive effect but short lived?
- Global Equity Market Collapse:- Could drop 50% and then float higher.
- Difficult as this could go either way – safer plays further up.
- Property Market – Could drop further.
- Difficult as this could go either way – safer plays further up.
