How to Bailout-Proof Your Portfolio with This Bearish Dollar Fund
Sep 22nd, 2008 | By Adam Lass | Category: Featured, Financial NewsFirst Bear Stearns, then Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, then AIG. Now, Hank Paulson wants to bailout an untold number of lenders with bad debt on their books.
Adam Lass says the Treasury, along with the Fed, has effectively taken control over the entire global financial system.
Adam says investors should move quickly to protect themselves from this mess. One way is to buy into the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish fund (AMEX:UDN).
The entire world economy now jumps at the beck and call of three men: Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner.
For years now, Washington has systematically destroyed the value of the dollar. This campaign of destruction led directly to the real estate bubble, its demise and the ensuing mortgage crisis.
The entire time, these three men have quietly assured the public that all was well, that no precipitous actions were needed to be taken to forestall the troubles that were bearing down on us like a 300-car coal train barreling down Thunder Mountain.
One can only imagine what their private conversations were like. However, Paulson has been quoted as saying that he only took the job at Treasury to prepare for the inevitable crisis that was coming. Curiously enough, the trading house where he worked for 34 years bet heavily against mortgage derivatives when everyone else was wading in neck deep.
The 3 stocks you’ll need to bank as much as 19,000% on the new Gas RushBallooning crude prices and shifting energy technologies have pushed the world to the brink of a global rush on natural gas. Here are the 3 petro-companies one ace analyst predicts are poised to cash in the most — including one that recent history proves could quickly yield 190-fold gains. Get all the details on these companies, and the maverick who recommends them, right HERE… Bernanke’s entire career has been devoted to the study of Depression economics. And Geithner is a master of international currency manipulation who has served under Henry Kissinger, Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, not to mention stints in the International Monetary Fund and the Group of Thirty, a private club of international financiers currently helmed by Paul Volcker.
And now that the crisis is upon us, now that virtually every Wall Street house except Paulson’s own Goldman Sachs has gone under or been bought up, now that the rot in our dollar has spread to all our global competitors, now that all other official and semi-official organizations that could lay claim to any power are defunct or paralyzed, these three have stepped up and literally bought up our country.
And they did it entirely with your blessing… and your money. Because right now, you’ll pay them anything to pry your foot loose from their bear trap.
For weeks now, these three have decided who will get billions from the magical Federal piggy bank. And who will be gutted on the trading room floor.
Bear Stearns? You get sold to our friends. Lehman Brothers? Sorry, champ, but you are road kill. AIG? We get 80% of your assets, and you get to pretend like you still run your company.
So far, these three have doled out half a trillion dollars one way or another. But not a nickel of it was free. No, no, as the terms come to light, these negotiations begin to resemble something out of a popular organized crime romance.
You know all those billion-dollar “short-term loans” the Fed has been making to every bank in the country? Each and every borrower has put up matching collateral in the form of junk mortgage bonds.
Technically speaking, since these bonds cannot be valued, the Federal Reserve is required is required to value them at zero. Zed. Zippo.
The fact that they have not done so does not mean that they never will. Indeed, these three gentlemen are now in the position of instantly bankrupting virtually any and every bank in the country.
Don’t tow the new line? You’re dead meat.
You say the FDIC will cover the banks? It ran out of money back when Indymac went under. Right now, it has roughly 10 times more debt than assets. And 15-20 more banks are slated to go under at any moment.
In fact, as I sit to write this, the FDIC is begging for more funds. Want to guess who they have to go through to get it? That’s right: Treasury Secretary Paulson.
The tactic of lending billions in cash against assets that can be revalued at a whim has proven so effective, Emperors Paulson, Bernanke and Geithner are now proposing to extend it to virtually every major Wall Street investor via their new “Department of Bad Debt.”
Think the Princes of the New World Order care a fig about your house, your job or your retirement fund? Think again: You are now, have always been and will always be a pawn in their grand scheme.
Every aspect of your life is on the line now. Not just your stock portfolio, but your bank accounts, your credit cards, the heat and lights in your house, even the value of the dollars in your wallet. They have put it all on the line to pull off this mad coup.
You simply must protect yourself if you have any hope of surviving. An immediate step would be to buy shares of PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish fund (AMEX:UDN.
