The U.S. government is going to have to print up trillions of dollars worth of new money in an attempt to break out of this economic crisis. This excess supply of currency in circulation is going to lead to demand-pull inflation.

Luckily, I was bearish on oil until recently. I said to short oil when it was at $120 per barrel on 04/23/08. I was a little early to the party, but oil did drop below $33 a barrel in December of 2008. Oil plummeted $114 a barrel after reaching its record high last summer.

Investing bearish right now could help protect your savings.  And just like fellow contrarians have been telling you all along, Ted Peroulakis suggests you broaden your horizons into contrarian investments like gold and silver.

Real estate prices are down substantially and many foreclosures and short sale opportunities are out there for the picking.

Gold Bug Ted Peroulakis of Investors Daily Edge suggests that “you should own some gold in your portfolio as an insurance policy…” He recommends this Gold EFT as a safe haven during the global financial crisis, because no matter what happens with the markets, gold will always shine.

The world is dependent on fossil fuels and we all know that one day, oil will run out. Additionally, many experts believe we are slowly heading towards mass extinction if we continue to pump carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere.

Commodity prices are beginning to stabilize and I expect copper prices to head higher. Copper is not just used for coinage; it is widely used in construction, electronics and automobiles, and the price is closely tied to economic activity.

I know as you read this, you are aware that America and the world are currently experiencing an economic crisis. Many economic experts say we could be heading towards a worsening recession or even a depression.

“Silver has been a form of money and store of value for thousands of years.”

Not only can silver provide a hedge provide a hedge against inflation, it also helps you add asset allocation and diversification to your portfolio, owning silver is easy, convenient and affordable, and thanks to the US governments pro-inflation policies, it’s going to be much more valuable in the near future.

A boom is coming, says Ted Peroulakis. Unfortunately, it’s a boom in inflation. It looks increasingly like the Fed will have to print its way out of this economic crisis. And the huge national debt burden will need to be inflated away. Ted says investors can protect themselves against this trend by holding the ultimate currency: gold.
