April 15, 2013

In last week’s blog I documented the true depth to which our retirement system has failed most Americans, the greed and utter incompetence of the Financial Services Industry and their allies in the Financial Media, and the tremendous damage its caused most Americans. I showed that you should not trust your retirement savings to this broken system, that the stock market is not the answer it is hyped to be, and that if you entrust your financial future to a financial advisor that history shows that over 95% will do nothing but lose you money.

About 30 years ago we underwent a huge change to our retirement system in this country, shifting from pension plans to individual retirement accounts such as 401Ks and IRAs.

Over the last 22 years I’ve made 4 major forecasts; when to get into the stock market and when to leave; when to invest in real estate and when to get out. Now I’m making another major call: high inflation is coming and it's very important to understand what it will mean to you and what to do about it. High inflation means higher prices, yes, but it has major implications for your current investments and for your financial plans in general, so it’s best to position yourself in preparation for it now rather than getting caught losing big.
