Stuff the Middle Class… Stuff the Poor… Lose Elections…

May 3rd, 2008 | By Rob Mackrill | Category: International Investing

It certainly comes as no surprise to The Fleet Street Letter that Labour are placed third in the local elections. Less than 25% of the vote for Labour, with Cameron’s mob pushing up in the 40’s and the Lib Dem’s pipping them at the post for second place.

What was Mr Brown expecting? He’s run the country into the ground and people are showing their disapproval at the polling stations.

After screwing up the banking sector and making many, many people’s financial situation worse… the country has stood up together with Paddy Chayefsky like exuberance and stated: “I’m as mad as hell… and I’m not going to take it anymore”.

The country’s mad, we’re mad, the finance sector’s crippled – what can be done?

Well consider this…

The finance sector makes up one third of our economic output, contributes £20 billion to the trade balance… and accounted for nearly HALF of UK GDP growth in 2007.

There are now more finance sector workers in Britain than there are construction workers, farmers and factory workers combined.

And they are in trouble!

Let me ask you something dear reader…

What do you think’s going to happen to the domestic economy… and to YOUR savings and investments… if Britain’s ‘Miracle Money Machine’ has its output slashed by one tenth… one third… or even half?

Well – as the pound continues to perform disastrously against the Euro and the dollar… investment banks brace themselves for further fallout… it’s time to batten down the hatches, because you’re about to find out.

Below you’ll find the link to a brand new Crisis Report published by The Fleet Street Letter. They’ve also identified three stocks poised to benefit from the finance sector-led recession they believe has to kick off in 2008.

Not only is the most dramatic asset bubble of modern times clearly over… not only are the recent falls in real estate and equities just a taste of what’s to come… but a sector that accounts for nearly one third of Britain’s entire economy is about to get hammered!

If City activity dries up, so does growth, says Damian Reece in The Daily Telegraph. “The entire southeast, from house prices to employment, is a geared play on global financial markets.”

According to its analysts this could be one of the biggest challenges to face the British economy in The Fleet Street Letter’s entire 70-year history.

And it’s hurtling towards your savings and investments like a freight train even as you read this.

And if you’re not ready yet, you’ll want to be soon.

The Fleet Street Letter has been helping its readers prepare their portfolios for the coming crisis since October 2005.

With the situation deteriorating daily, they’ve decided to issue some advice to you today.

Specifically, the team have identified three “gloom loving” stocks they believe will thrive during the finance sector-led recession.

This could be the most important investment advice you read this year.

P.S. If like 75% of the country you’re fed up with the way Labour are running the country into the ground… you may as well take the chance to make a little bit of money on the back of their ineptitude (it’s something that makes me feel a little better anyway). So give our report a read – you will not be disappointed…

AdvertisementWhat goes up AFTER gold prices rise?

Stocks have been hammered for the past 5 years – down 10% according to the S&P 500 index.

Gold, meanwhile, is up about 100% during that time.

What few Americans realize, however, is that there's a unique gold investment, created and issued by the U.S. Treasury Dept., which skyrockets AFTER gold prices soar.

Last time conditions were this good, it went up 665%... and it's beginning to soar again right now.
