Survival Investing with Gold & Silver Kindle Edition

by GE Christenson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.5 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
In 1920 John Maynard Keynes (British economist – considered the most influential in the 20th century) wrote that “By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.” The U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve have successfully inflated prices for a hundred years, and especially since 1971 when Nixon eliminated the gold backing of the Dollar.

Inflation is like a hibernating bear; it sleeps for a time (the 1990s) and then wakes for a long rampage. During significant inflation, caused by excessive deficits, debts, expansion of the money supply, and printing money, you can lose most of the real value of your savings and your retirement, while your expenses rise far more rapidly than your income. Many countries have experienced hyperinflation in the past three decades; with the wrong fiscal and monetary policies it can happen in the United States. Even modest inflation will, over time, destroy the purchasing power of your income and savings. We must prepare for the coming inflation or suffer the horrific financial consequences.

This book describes, in simple language and concepts, the economic and financial conditions that create an exponentially increasing money supply, runaway spending and debts, and price inflation. The loss of purchasing power is demonstrated for working and retired individuals. Specific suggestions are given to reduce expenses and increase savings, so you can invest savings and grow your retirement to keep pace with inflation. Inflation hedges are discussed, and their ability to preserve purchasing power is illustrated in a ten year table.

Supplementary topics are discussed in a “Bonus Material” section at the end. Those topics include the ongoing exponential rallies in gold and silver, projections for their prices in 2013, Technical Analysis, using an IRA to invest in gold and silver, and maintaining purchasing power.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am a retired accountant and business manager who has 30+ years of experience studying markets, investing, and trading futures and stocks. I have made and lost money during my investing career, and those successes and losses have taught me about timing markets, risk management, government created inflation, and market crashes. I currently invest for the long term, and I swing trade (in a trade from one to four weeks) stocks and ETFs using both fundamental and technical analysis. I offer opinions and commentary, but not investment advice.

Years ago I did graduate work in physics (all but dissertation) so I strongly believe in analysis, objective facts, and rational decisions based on hard data. I currently live in Texas with my wife. Previously, I spent 20 years in Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost community in the United States, 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

    Excellent and factual but did not explain the long term bear market for gold from 1980 to 2001. Would have given five stars if he explained this!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to protect yourself financially in these days of extreme paper money creation by central banks all over the world.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2012
    I read this book after purchasing it on Smashwords, and I think it's a book that everyone should read given the economic times we live in today. I try to keep up with and understand financial markets as well as I can, especially given the extreme nature of the financial crisis that we are living in these days. But to be honest it's hard to piece it all together succinctly with all the different news sources and opinions out there. With this book Mr. Christenson has written an excellent primer on our current economic situation and how to best survive it. He lays out the facts in such a way that even someone like me who does not have a background in finance or accounting can understand. We all hear about how pretty much all governments are printing money more than ever before, and this book explains how that happens and how it affects and will continue to affect our lives in very negative ways. It also offers sensible and easy to understand ways for you to protect yourself financially as governments continue to create money out of thin air at faster and faster rates, something that simply cannot go on forever and will likely end only with a lot more financial pain and suffering for the middle and lower classes of society. Do yourself and your family a favor and read this book.

    The Deviant Investor is against the grain! And you should give credence to the analysis, and scenarios included here. With the political atmosphere we have today (remember, America has the Government it deserves....as we keep voting the clowns into office), it is assured your investment strategies HAVE to change from the prior 30 years. The investing environment is just not the same, and conventional theories do not work. I loved the straightforward analysis included here. It will force you to change your thinking, and take action.
