Deficits Don’t Matter, or Do They? Let’s Ask the Wizard of Oz!As we watch the meltdown of the US Dollar before our eyes, we are reminded of parallels to the time when the book “The Wizard of OZ” was written. Who will be like Dorothy (who stood up to the Wizard) and challenge today’s government officials to stop the over-spending that will cause Decades of Debt, devaluation of the currency, and Dollar Doubts? Another one of the 5Es is, “the influence of the usa Empire is peaking: What is next?"Understand the discussion around the fading influence of the usa Empire. It is as much as the “rise of the rest” as it is about the decreasing influence of the USA. Examples are provided while many are asking “why isn’t the USA calling the shots?” This article concludes by highlighting a need to focus on education, immigration, entitlements, not be parochial, and be sure to globalize within. Control these Rare Earths and you control the energy technology and economy of the 21st centuryRare earths find their way into the alternative energy industry, the aerospace and defense industry, and the modern high-tech lifestyle … without them, none of these industries or lifestyles will continue. There is one deposit of these minerals in the USA and a recent find in Australia. China produces 95% of the world’s supply of these minerals and is using restrictive practices and investments to put themselves into the driver's seat for the energy technology and economy of the 21st century. Baby-boomers - Learn video marketing as used by Tony Robbins and Paula Abdul!Due to economic turmoil and financial crisis, many baby-boomers are starting home-based Internet Marketing businesses. As a result of innovation on the Internet, they can combine new business models with Web 2.0 technologies, including video marketing as used by Tony Robbins and Paula Abdul, to create a trusted authority relationship with potential customers and increase their sales results. Understand another one of the 5Es: Energy is no longer cheapUnderstand the discussion around Peak Oil and that while we are not likely to run out of oil, oil will be more expensive at the pump because of significantly increased demand in emerging growth areas of the world and higher cost to drill, pump, store, and transport to customers. The energy frontier is changing dramatically and recent finds in Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, and Namibia will potentially provide some light at the end of the tunnel and investment opportunities. Understand one of the 5Es: the transfer of wealth and power from the West to the EastUnderstand the historic shifts now underway in the Asia Pacific region, including China, and how these shifts can create alternative wealth creating opportunities. The world is changing dramatically and the emerging markets will potentially provide some light at the end of the tunnel. Consider Forex trading as a hedge to the demise of the USDWith the potential demise of the US Dollar, the $4T Forex currency market is an alternative wealth creating strategy that offers non dollar-denominated investment opportunities that can be used as a hedge to the demise. An overview of trading in the Forex market is provided and “no cost, to low cost, yet effective” ways to determine if this wealth creating alternative is for you, are suggested. Thriving in these turbulent times … and it is not “Fast Money."Leverage the turbulence in the financial landscape to not just survive but thrive by starting your own internet marketing business. Using next generation Web 2.0 technologies, the Internet Marketing Industry is driving new business models, launching new opportunities, and will likely be creators of new money masters. Several evaluation factors are provided for like-minded individuals wishing to pursue the freedom and upside of an entrepreneurial business. Decades of Debt and Dollar DoubtsThe amount of borrowing by Uncle Sam is not sustainable. It is taking 40% of the annual GDP just to make the interest payment on the debt. If the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the USA, were to print money to make these payments, or retire this debt, significant inflation is likely to occur. This inflation is likely to reduce the value of the US Dollar. As a result, the strong US Dollar policy would collapse and the role of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency would be threatened. Historic shifts are underway on the New Silk Road where East meets West creating alternative investment opportunitiesWhen conventional wisdom is not working, we need to consider alternative wealth creating strategies. An important region along the New Silk Road, where East meets West, is providing alternative investment opportunities as a result of recent political thaws and expanded trade with Asia.
