Keep Your Guard Up

Dear Friends,

There is no hope for the future as long as we have to listen to what we have experienced in the last two days. If the Fed pays “Hold to Maturity” prices in the bailout they are accepting onto their balance sheet all the lies that existed and still exists on and off the balance sheets of the banking and investment industry.

Fabrication has taken the US financial system over the cliff. The bailout of the near and dear fabricated to a spiritual level sets in cement the generational nature of this breakdown, the coming dollar collapse, and the reign of gold.

To categorize this bailout of OTC derivative manufacturers as an asset purchase is so wrong it strains the limits of criminality.

DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.

THE BAILOUT ONLY BUYS YOU A LITTLE MORE TIME TO PROTECT YOURSELVES.

You need to distance yourself from your financial agents by:

1. Certificating your gold and silver shares.
2. Opting for direct registration book entry at the transfer agent for your gold and silver shares.
3. For your retirement plan, certificate the shares in the name of your trustee and the retirement plan. The alternative is direct registration book entry at the transfer agent in the name of the trustee and the retirement account.
4. Be sure your account at your bank is a true custodial account which is defined as an account segregated to you, away from the assets of the bank and therefore not on the balance sheet of the financial institution.

I am told where the retirement shares are concerned that Charles Schwab performs this service. Many others likely do as well.

The only way to be sure you really have a true custodial account is to have your attorney review the agreement between you and the institution.

I have personally used the services of Jay Marcus for this of:

Gold is the ultimate answer as to what currency to own. The only way gold functions as insurance is if you hold it in your own hands. ETFs do not do it. Gold shares with the real stuff properly priced will do part, but not all of it. Gold at some coin dealers, segregated or as a certificate, does not do it.

If you have gold at any coin dealer or non-government mint and you want to remain that way please request their certified balance sheet. If a guarantee by some other party is there then get a copy of that guarantee for your attorney to read. The only business, as I have told you often, you should do with any coin dealer is to buy coins.

Do not use margin on anything GOLD. That totally defeats the insurance principle.

Respectfully yours,
Jim
