The height of a stack of 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) one dollar bills measures 67,866 miles. This would reach more than one fourth the way from the earth to the moon.
The height of a stack of 100,000,000,000,000 (one hundred trillion) one dollar bills measures 6,786,616 miles. This would reach from the earth to the moon – and back – 14 times.
Even The Sick Are Contributing to The US Economic Output
No gross domestic product (GDP) figures have been published since 2008. In basic terms, GDP is defined as a measure of a country's overall economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
This clearly illustrates the problem when you compare it to the GDP of the U.S. which was $14 trillion in 2008. Just to let you know how significant this number is, it includes the associated healthcare costs of all sick people in the U.S. as well.
This figure alone does not distinguish whether or not a product or service is sustainable or contributes to wealth. For example: every single cent for war counts toward productivity factored into the GDP. So the real number, a healthy number not involving real contributing productivity would be far less than the reported $14 trillion.
What that illustrates is that the GDP is, in effect, not only inflated by some indeterminate amount due to the inclusion of nonproductive economic factors, the dollar is weaker in real terms than everyone would like to believe. Pointing to a $14 trillion GDP as a sign of inherent strength becomes meaningless in real world terms, particularly when economic crises are brewing in all economies around the world.
While there is not much you can hope to achieve as an individual on these macro-economic scales, there is one thing you can do as an individual to help protect your money and even profit from it during these times: get yourself a good financial education that clearly helps you put the historic process into perspective so you can make good financial decisions today and tomorrow.
There Are Two Forms of Investments You Can Make
Either you invest in capital gain or in cash flow. Either one can work – it is even better to invest in both. This book will teach you how to invest in silver and create massive capital gain. If you use this profit wisely you may want to re-invest it for cash flow.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your bank account filled up as if by magic by the beginning of each month without having to do any work. However hard you worked in the past, you no longer have to work.
It does not get much better than that!
That’s when the real pleasure sets in and you can enjoy your life without any financial stress. And if you have smartened up enough during your financial education, you have learned how to handle the tax issues – so no more worries about taxes as well. At this point in your life you can shift your focus from working for working's sake to being creative. That’s when you go for your dreams.
Where Does Your Money Come From?
In the first chapters of this book you will dig a bit into the history of money. You will learn how money, something that manages to be both immaterial and substantial at the same time, actually springs into existence. Those parents among you have probably been asked by your children at one time or another to explain where money comes from. I guess you told them that it gets printed, which is actually true for 5 percent of everything we call money. Little bits of printed paper do not really explain how it all actually works.
Finding out about how money is actually created will be a big eye opener for you.
It may startle you, delight you, even awaken you to an infinite range of possibility for abundance and security you could only imagine in the past. If you already know the mechanics of the birth of money, you can still further your financial education along with the rest of us by delving into why silver is arguably the best investment opportunity anywhere right now.
We are all currently witnessing the dismantling of a vast empire. Perhaps it will be the last empire. Perhaps that will be a good indication that humanity has outgrown the need for empires of all kinds. The juggernaut of the United States has passed the point of no return in monetary terms; the national debt is now so huge that it must go into either default or into hyperinflation to cope with the growing disparities found in its financial markets and banking system. Either option is dire and nearly impossible to recover from without massive systemic restructuring on all fronts.
A Sad Story - The Demise of The Dollar
The demise of the dollar will not be the first time that a currency has collapsed. When you thoroughly look into the historical record, currencies and money systems have always ultimately collapsed. In fact, this has happened every single time. The type of currency we have right now – called fiat money – is the same type that the overwhelming majority of the entire world has in one form or another.
Fiat money has a 100 percent failure rate. Throughout history, in all cultures great and small, every fiat currency ends up with a real value of absolutely zero.
Think of what that will mean to you and your family when all those hard-earned dollars you have in the bank are worthless and any dollars you earn tomorrow are likewise without value.
You will need a crash course in Economics 101 without the hyperbole and misdirection that are so prevalent in today's financial world. It is my hope that you will agree with me that investing in silver is an excellent way to stave off future economic uncertainty and protect your wealth.
If you're like me, you will want to dive in right now and start making money with silver. However, I strongly encourage you to read the first few chapters of this book to gain a better understanding of the world economy. With such knowledge you can move forward with confidence knowing that you have a solid foundation upon which to to base your upcoming trading strategies.
Why Silver is a Better Investment Than Gold
In the next chapter you will learn why silver is actually a much better investment than gold. Most individual investors and the financial press are biased toward gold while seeing silver as a secondary investment in precious metals. You will see why this is not the case and learn how to use silver's under-the-radar status to your advantage.
Next, you'll jump right into the physical metal itself and how it is quite likely that silver will become the first of our metals that become extinct. You will learn why silver is rarer than gold, and why it has not yet caught up with its real price value.
You will come to understand why most silver ends up in the land fill, why falling silver demand due to reduced photographic usage is a myth, and how silver is used in countless technical processes in all kinds of industries. These technologies, in fact, have driven the demand for silver so high that we no longer have a large surplus of the metal available to help balance the market during times of scarcity.
The next chapter deals with the different ways to acquire silver in both physical and paper forms. You will get the details on why silver remains undervalued and how the fundamental market outlook for silver will be bullish for the coming next few years at least.
After that we are going into the nuts and bolts of trading. You will learn how to trade silver to create the highest profit. You will learn how to use and apply several stages of leverage, which will exponentially increase your return on investment. You will learn techniques to substantially reduce your risk when buying with leverage. You will be amazed how much money you can make in a short amount of time in the current bull market.
Speaking of leverage, it is a myth that more leverage equates to increased risk. This myth is of the same type as the one about diversifying as a means of spreading risk. You only need to diversify if
