22.01.2022 Vision without Action is just a dream Action without Vision is a nightmare Vision with Action will change your world

18.01.2022 Here are some facts that might make you wonder whether everything is rosy in the world. In early 2006, before the 2008 financial meltdown, Australian household debt was $853 billion. Today, it’s $1.81 trillion. It has more than doubled. We don’t need intimate knowledge of the dictionary, to know that the doubling of debt isn’t the common definition of ‘deleveraging’.... Source: Bloomberg In 2005, before the 2008 financial meltdown, US government debt was US$7.8 trillion. Today, it’s US$19.8 trillion. And it is worth noting that the debt is money that people borrowed but where did the money come from? Bet your bottom dollar the banks in Australia did not have $1.81 Trillion sitting in the bank waiting for someone to borrow and the same applies to the USA!! .

18.01.2022 Monday, 5th June 2017 The following is an extract from a write up in the Daily Reckoning Australia on the power of social media Dear Reader,... Take out a pen and mark down November in your diary. That’s the forecasted month that the total amount of money spent on mobile advertising globally will eclipse TV for the first time. Then watch out below as fifty years of dominance ends and sends this pillar crumbling. The forecast comes from the widely admired annual Internet Trends report from venture capitalist Mary Meeker. It’s worth a look, for lots of different insights. Here’s the main one for today’s Daily Reckoning. You can see why the Australian TV stations begged the government to scrap their license fees which they got in the recent budget. From this report, we can see that this measure is only a reprieve, but only delaying the inevitable for a time. The business model of the TV station is dead. Anyone holding shares in Nine Entertainment [ASX: NEC], Ten Network Holdings [ASX: TEN] and Seven West Media [ASX: SWM] better be paying attention. It’s pretty simple, really. The subtleties come later. The time people are spending watching TV is going down. The time they spend on their mobile is going up. The advertisers are following the eyeballs, and taking their dollars with them. Here’s why: Social media companies can deliver much more targeted and personalised campaigns. If you see a nice outfit on Pinterest, for example, you can now click on the shirt, or the shoes, or the sunglasses, and order them. Or another way: geo-targeting means that, as you walk by a store, they can message you a deal. Data analytics will keep refining this personalised process further and further. Algorithms already know what you want, and your biases and weaknesses as well. That’s called direct marketing. That’s the first pie the tech guys (Facebook, Google) have grabbed in the advertising market. This has sent TV shares down as they’ve lost revenue here. What will finally kill Australian TV stations What will kill them off is when Google and Facebook take brand advertising.

17.01.2022 (This article originally appeared in US edition of The Daily Reckoning on Monday, 18 April 2016.) For a century, elites have worked to eliminate monetary gold, both physically and ideologically. This began in 1914, with the UK’s entry into the First World War. The Bank of England wanted to suspend convertibility of banknotes into gold. Keynes counseled wisely that the bank should not do so. Gold was finite, but credit elastic. By staying on gold, the UK could maintain its cre...Continue reading

IMF 2,814 Tonnes (International Monetary Fund) 4.Russia 1,857 Tonnes... 5.China 1,843 Tonnes Australia 79.85 Tonnes According to the The Australian Financial Review: ‘Russia has overtaken China as the fifth-biggest sovereign holder of gold, allowing it to diversify its foreign currency holdings amid a deepening rift with the US. ‘The Bank of Russia in January increased its holdings by almost 20 tonnes to 1857 tonnes, topping the People's Bank of China’s reported 1843 tonnes. While Russia has increased its holdings every month since March 2015, China last reported buying gold in October 2016 China's holdings could be doubtful as the general opinion is that they may not be disclosing the truth but the real important question is "HOW MUCH GOLD ARE YOU HOLDING"? None or not much at all? Then start today with storing as little as 1,2.5 or 5Gm a week or month. You won't catch up with the nations store house but you will have in your hands a very negotiable item when our current Fiat system of money collapses. When? Good question but all those in the know say it will. Governments can't just keep printing money on demand. Use this link today to get started: bit.ly/go4Gold

09.01.2022 If one has been tuned into the global financial position, a global melt down is imminent and if one has any signinficant savings then there is a cause for concern. If one does not, then the only concern is job security because that is also looking dismal. Thanks to very, very low interest rates & money printing, paper money backed by nothing is in serious trouble. Jim Rickards is very well qualified for one to pay attention to what he says regarding the financial status of ou...r world and the following is an extract from an article wriiten by Jim in Startegic intelligence. If you want to get started on preserving your wealth, click on the "Watch Video" button at the top. What can you do to preserve wealth when these cyberfinancial wars break out? The key is to have some portion of your total assets invested in non-digital assets that cannot be hacked, wiped out or disrupted in financial warfare. Such assets include gold, silver, land, fine art and the kind of private equity that does not rely on electronic exchange trading for liquidity. Tim Dohrmann has analysed the investment opportunities in the fine art world. Tim edits my investment advisory service, Strategic Intelligence. In our latest issue, Tim made several fine art recommendations and some will cost you less than $1,000 to get started. As an investor, you don’t just have enough to be concerned about factors like inflation, deflation, central bank policy and the overall state of the economy. Now you have another major threat looming financial warfare, enabled by cyberattacks and force multipliers. The time to take defensive action by acquiring some non-digital assets is now. Regards, Jim Rickards, Strategist, Strategic Intelligence James G. Rickards is the strategist for Strategic Intelligence, the newest newsletter from Port Phillip Publishing. He is an American lawyer, economist, and investment banker with 35 years of experience working in capital markets on Wall Street.

01.01.2022 According to Peter Diamandis writing in the "Abundance Insider" Germany to Legalize Automated Driving Technology That Allows "Eyes-Off" the Road What it is: Germany recently updated the country's Road Traffic Act to allow domestic car manufacturers to deploy Level 3 (L3) autonomy. When L3 features are activated, drivers can take their eyes off the road and rely on the vehicle to monitor the roads; however, drivers must be available to take over should a situation require human assistance. While automakers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, GM and Tesla are closing in on L3 and beyond, legislation must be amended to legalize fully autonomous driving. Germany is making swift progress to become Europe's first country to allow L3 autonomous driving, which could be as soon as September 2017.
