"HANDS OFF MY BACON!
My Bread, Milk, Bottled Water,
Eggs and Cereal Too..."
Controversial New Federal "Rationing" Policies Let the
Government STEAL Food Straight from Your Kitchen
Thanks to controversial new policies, the Federal Government has been stealing our food...
They're taking our bacon, milk, steak, potatoes, cheese, rice, beans and butter...
They're taking our fresh fruit and vegetables...
Heck, they're even dipping into our desserts too...
Next time you're in the grocery store, or out to eat... look around, and you'll see it.
The Government is stealing the equivalent of one Tostino's pizza for every
four you buy... 10 cans for every 24 pack of Coke you purchase.... Last
month they stole 20 cents worth of orange juice for every container sold...
They're stealing Frosted Flakes out of the box, Ore-Ida potatoes from the bag, Pop Tarts, and
Eggo waffles too.
"Who are you going to believe? Some egg-head economist, or your own eyes?" said Mark
Vitner from Wells Fargo.
"I've noticed," said Rafael Andrade, a small business owner in Mesa, Arizona.
"Whole wheat pasta had gone from 16 ounces to 13.25 ounces," said 33-year-old Houston
resident, Lisa Stauber. "I bought three boxes and it wasn't enough. I bought the same amount
I always buy, I just didn't realize it, because who reads the sizes all the time? It's sneaky,
because they figure people won't know."
Hello, my name is Matt Badiali. I'm a financial analyst at S&A Research in Baltimore,
Maryland. In the next few minutes, I'm going to expose a Government-created scam taking
place right this moment in America's food industry. No matter where you shop or dine, or
what you eat, I can guarantee this will soon be your problem too... and it's just the beginning.
If you don't believe the Government could really be stealing food...just ask any food
producer, supermarket owner or restauranteur...
They've been given the choice to either eat the "tax" themselves... or let the government take
it out of our food. Of course, many companies are opting for the latter...
"The big challenge will be, how much can we swallow and how much can we pass along?"
said Jack Brown, chief executive of Stater Bros. Markets, a 167-store grocery chain in
southern California.
In Chicago, the Government is demanding 21% of every steak sold...
At Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse, a small chain in the Chicago area, they're giving into the
Government's extortion... and eating the costs themselves...
But at Morton's, they're taking it right out of the steak on your plate...
"We believe that our guests are flexible and we have the capacity to do that," said Morton's
CFO Ron DiNella.
Of course, because the Government never misses an opportunity to double dip, the major
food manufacturers are getting hit too...
At Tabatchnick Fine Foods Inc., a maker of high-end frozen soups, the Government is taking
20-30% of their product...
"It's going to reduce the [profit] margin dramatically on the product," says owner, Ben
Tabatchnick. "We're stuck."
Many companies are simply packaging their food in smaller containers...
A carton of Tropicana orange juice has shrunk 7.8 percent. A pint of Hagen
Daazs ice cream has shrunk 12.5%. And jars of Peter Pan peanut butter are
now 9% smaller.
They're hitting up coffee shops and boutiques as well...
Starbucks has suggested taking a dollar out of every package of coffee. And so is Seattle's
Best.
"Lately, it hasn't been subtle — I mean, they've been shrinking by noticeable amounts," says
Paula Rosenblum, managing partner for retail systems research at Focus.com, an online
specialist network.
This isn't the first time the Feds have intervened in the food markets either. In the 1950s, the
Government hit farmers with acreage controls and marketing quotas, pricing commodities
out of markets... causing huge surpluses to pile up, which the Government then became
responsible for distributing.
Of course, the government has intervened in the corn markets for years...
But these new policies mark the first big moment where the Government has actually stolen
food straight from your shopping cart...
"Chips are disappearing from bags, candy from boxes and vegetables from cans," writes
Stephanie Clifford, a reporter covering the retail industry for the New York Times business
desk.
And we're only witnessing the beginning...
Kellogg expects the Government will steal more cereal out of its Wheaties boxes this year...
Safeway, Kroger, Sara Lee, McDonald's and Wal-Mart all expect to see the Government take
more food this year too... which means less for you and me.
The Government is even stealing Gerber baby food....
Why are they doing this? Who are they giving all this stuff to?
To the millions of Americans who don't pay any taxes. Rich bankers in Manhattan are also
some of biggest beneficiaries of this heist. Of course they're not taking home baby food and
potato chips. They've found a way to turn this theft, which has already exceeded one trillion
dollars, into cash.
Why haven't you seen a big story about this yet?
Well, the Government didn't pass a bill through Congress or make an official announcement.
Instead, they formed a small, yet powerful group, which has little to no oversight or
accountability. It's basically their job right now to "steal" as much food as they can, without
upsetting the general population.
I know this sounds hard to believe, but it's absolutely true...
"It's a strange public-private bastard hybrid... [that] was conceived in secrecy," writes one
financial blogger...
"It's immoral, unconstitutional... promotes bad economics, and undermines liberty," writes
one Congressional official familiar with the group.
As investigative journalist and author David DeGraw writes:
"[Their] crimes are so big, so huge in scale, it is very hard for people to even wrap their head
around it. The audacity and absurdity of it all is mind-boggling. No free market, no
democracy of any kind. All done in secrecy... they have put into motion a system that
will...destroy the very existence of what is left of an economic middle class. Talk about the
ransacking and burning of Rome! No matter which way you look at it, we are all in serious
trouble!"
But folks are beginning to notice this scam... and demand answers from the Government.
Last week, New York Fed president William Dudley answered some questions on the topic.
He downplayed what was happening, calling the situation "tame," and pointed out the
Government hasn't been stealing other items like iPads...
An angry member of the audience yelled back, "I can't eat an iPad."
As this trend continues to escalate, and folks across the country wake up to what's taking
place... it'll only be a matter of time before we see shortages and major price explosions...
According to John Foley at the New York Times, "Food riots in 2011 are possible...."
Now I don't know about you, but when the world still looks and feels "nice," I have a tough
time believing there's trouble brewing. It's basic human nature: why change what you're
doing, if things aren't that bad?
But I believe, based on the information I've gathered... and my experience following the
commodities markets for more than 15 years, it's only a matter of time before this
development goes from bad to worse...
The Government theft of our food supply will likely escalate... as our currency continues to
inflate... and as global supply routes get choked off.
"Most of the impact won't be felt for six months," said Scott Irwin, an agriculture-economics
professor at the University of Illinois.
But as you'll soon see, all of this is really just a symptom of a much deadlier disease, which
could affect where you drive, shop, and work... how you prepare for retirement...even your
medical care.
And when this crisis erupts with full force here in the United States, there may be nothing
that can save us....
I realize that sounds rather dire, but over the past 100 years, more than two dozen countries
have faced the exact same crisis. And, when governments began "stealing" from their citizens
in this secret way, the result was a crisis of epic proportions...
Greece, China, Germany, Argentina, Hungary, Japan, Russia, Brazil,
Austria, Turkey, Philippines...Taiwan.
Now, I can't guarantee that the preemptive measures I'm going to show you will protect you
from the worst...
But I can promise you this: Taking a few simple steps now will make you much better off in
the months to come.
Before I get into these details, let me first present to you the facts I've gathered, so you can
judge this situation for yourself...
How the Government is Stealing Your Food
For starters, is the United States Government really "stealing your food?"
Absolutely...
How is this happening?
Well, the way it works is, rather than intervening in grocery stores, or factories where all of
this food is produced, the government (via a secret organization that is only required to reveal
a fraction of their financial dealings) instead intervenes earlier in the process... in your
pocketbook and bank account.
Essentially, what they do is alter your money in a special way so that when you go to the
grocery story, the grocery store will actually give you less food than the same money could
buy just a few weeks ago.
This occurs in a series of steps. Let me explain...
STEP 1)
It starts at the top. The "theft" begins when the Federal Government needs some money.
They call up the Federal Reserve and ask for help. The Federal Reserve is the small and
secretive group I've alluded to. They're like the Government's own private bank. They have
enormous powers. And next to no oversight.
STEP 2)
The Federal Reserve says "sure, we can help you." They loan the Government some money.
And the Government promises to pay it back.
Of course the Federal Reserve doesn't have any real money to lend. But what they do have is
complete control of the financial system in the United States. So they basically end up
printing new money out of thin air. The Government doesn't really intend to pay this money
back either. But they do print some Treasury bonds – some IOU's – and give them to the
Federal Reserve to hold onto... just for good measure. Of course, these days, all of this
happens electronically, with a few strokes of a computer keyboard.
Since 2008, the Fed and the Government have created nearly two trillion dollars this way.
STEP 3)
This is where the theft reaches you. You see, each new dollar created out of thin air this way
must get its value from somewhere. Where does it get it?
It drains it from the existing money.
Every time this happens – every time a new dollar gets created out of thin air – a little bit of
value is stolen from the money you currently hold.
This is what most people refer to as "inflation."
For instance, let's say you have $100,000 in the bank. At 9.6%, which many folks believe to
be the real rate of inflation...here's what your money would look like over time:
Value of $100,000 After the Effects
of 9.6% Inflation per Year
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10
$91,241 $83,249 $75,957 $69,304 $63,234 $57,695 $52,641 $48,030 $43,823 $39,985
After a decade of 9.6% inflation, you'd be left with $39,985.
A $60,000 loss, just by doing nothing!
With inflation, the Government is stealing money from your bank account!
But really, the way it works out is that instead of dipping into your bank account and taking
money, your money gets stolen in other ways...
Food, energy, water... consumer goods...
You see, with each new dollar that's created out of thin air being worth less, producers have
to raise prices.
Why?
Because the goods they're selling aren't changing in value. But the dollars you hold certainly
are. They have to raise prices just to keep up.
Same deal with wholesalers, retailers... all the way down the line.
What's the upshot of all of this inflation?
"Loose-money policies in the United States have... set off a price spiral in food, energy and
other basic goods needed to run the economy," writes Patrice Hill of the Washington Times.
Now, it takes a bit of time for new currency to cycle through the economy and for prices to
rise...
But over the past year, we've seen the start of it: Prices have started to rise, especially in
food....
The price of beef has risen 15% in the past year. Turkey is up 18%. Pork is up 22% and fish
just as much.
Lentils, eggs, onions and milk all rose about 18% last year...
This past December alone, fresh fruits and vegetables rose by 15% and 22%.
In 6 months last year, wheat prices doubled, and corn and sugar prices rose 73%.
Just last month, prices at the wholesale level rose the most in 37 years – since November
1974!
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, food prices are at the highest since
they started keeping track in 1990.
These rising food prices are going to be passed onto to you and me....
As the Wall Street Journal wrote recently, "An inflationary tide is beginning to ripple through
America's supermarkets and restaurants...."
Kraft Foods raised its price on Maxwell House coffee by 22%.
Safeway, Kroger, Breyer's, Domino's, McDonald's, Nestle, General Mills, Stater Bros,
Kellogg, Wal-Mart, and Giant are all raising or preparing to raise prices...
I don't know about you, but to me this sounds a lot like stealing...
The Fed prints money... prices rise... and we're suddenly left paying a lot more for the same
amount.
Or, in some cases – when companies creatively "shrink" packaging – we're paying the same
amount and getting a lot less.
Either way, how is that any different from the Government taking food straight from our
mouths, pantries, and dinner tables?
"It's no different from a burglar in your house wanting to steal your money," said financial
writer Lew Rockwell.
And it's not just food either...
"Fresh financial pain is on the way, with price hikes expected on everything from underwear
to cereal," writes Lore Croghan at the NY Daily News.
I'm sure you've seen the difference at the pump. Regular unleaded gasoline has risen an
average of 86 cents this year. The price of tires has risen 15% in the past year...
Tuition prices at colleges have risen 8%...
Some retail analysts expect clothes across the board to see double-digit percentage hikes...
toward the end of the year.
Even leather and furniture prices are beginning to jump.
The thing is, as high as prices have risen this year, the worst has yet to come...
"Most of those increases have yet to be passed on to consumers," says economist Bill Lapp
of Advanced Economic Solutions. But, he warns, "a cost bubble has moved into the system."
Even worse, there's a final phase of inflation that's far, far worse than paying more for food
and clothes...
It's far worse than increasingly higher prices.
And we're much closer to it than most folks might think...
Of course, if you asked the Government, they'd tell you everything is okay...
That everything is alright and under control...
But that's clearly not the case...
Why the Government Refuses to tell
You the Truth About Inflation
Bottom line, the Federal Government has been manipulating the truth about inflation in
America for more than three decades...
As the Wall Street Journal writes, "The official inflation numbers should be taken with a
fistful of salt. There is plenty to worry about... Over the past 30 years, the federal government
has made a lot of changes to the way it calculates inflation."
Why would they do this?
Because it's in every bureaucrat's best self-interest to make sure the "progress report" to the
nation looks as good as it possibly can. So they've been slowly molding the methodology to
further that agenda.
Here's a great example...
Everyone knows Apple computers aren't cheap. The cheapest MAC laptop costs about $999
today. It also cost $999 a few years ago.
That's the same price, right?
Not according to the way our Government calculates inflation. Using a piece of creative
accounting called "Hedonic Quality Adjustments," they're able to call this a "price cut."
Their reasoning?
Try to follow this logic...
According to the Government, because this year's MAC is faster and sleeker than the model
you could have bought several years ago... then it's like you're really getting more for your
money. So to them it's like prices have really gone down.
Backwards, I know...
Or, even worse, when the price of an object does actually go up, the Government will tell you
the price really hasn't... because you're getting all kinds of new and improved features.
They must think we're morons...
Another way...
They've completely eliminated food and energy from the "core" Consumer Price Index,
which is used to measure inflation.
Why? Some economists and policymakers believe that "food and energy prices are volatile
and are subject to price shocks that cannot be damped through monetary policy."
That's absurd, considering people spend a good chunk of their money on both food and
energy!
Here's another way...
The Government doesn't count the sale of homes – just the monthly equivalent of owning a
home, which they base on rents. This is particularly misleading...
Why?
Because when housing prices are rising and interest rates are low, fewer people want to rent
– so there are higher vacancy rates.
In other words, the U.S. government's measure of inflation (the Consumer Price Index, or
CPI) gives a false low reading when housing prices are high. That's in part why Government
inflation statistics didn't alert us to the housing bubble...
There are other manipulations too – half a dozen or so, dating all the way back to when
Nixon was in office...
But the bottom line, as Jim Rogers said recently:
"They're all made up! In the U.S. we're constantly changing the numbers.... Look at Mr.
Bernanke. Mr. Bernanke's been in Washington for 8 years. Every month, about everything
he's ever said, he's been wrong! He's running the printing presses as fast as he can.
"If you go to the grocery store... if you go anywhere, you know that prices are going up...
whether it's education, or insurance, or medical care, or groceries... everything is going up in
price. The government keeps telling us there's no inflation. Where do they shop?! How can
they sit and tell us there's no inflation when it's as clear as day there's inflation – everywhere
– and it's getting worse, not better."
The Government tells us the real rate of inflation is 2-3%. The fact is, according to the way
we used to calculate inflation – prior to 1980 and prior to all of these "tweaks" the real rate is
around 9.6%, says John Williams, a statistician and Fortune 500 consulting economist.
But even that figure might be understating the case. If the prices of many real world goods –
gas, food, and clothing – are any indication, the real rate of inflation should be much, much
higher.
The scary thing about inflation is how even a small amount – especially if you're retired on a
fixed income – can eat away at your money...
Let's assume, just for the sake of illustration, that the Government is right... that Ben
Bernanke is right... and that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' changes to the CPI over the years
have just been important tweaks, not manipulations...
Here's the effect 2.6% inflation would have on $100,000:
Value of $100,000 After the Effects
of 2.6% Inflation per Year
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10
$97,466 $94,996 $92,589 $90,242 $87,956 $85,727 $83,554 $81,437 $79,373 $77,362
As you can see, after 4 years, even at that relatively low rate of inflation, you've still lost ten
grand...
After a decade, you've lost $23,000 and change...
What about hyperinflation? What would that look like:
Value of $100,000 After the Effects
of 20% Inflation per Year
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10
$83,333 $69,444 $57,870 $48,225 $40,188 $33,490 $27,908 $23,257 $19,381 $16,151
Could this really happen?
Many folks believe we're heading down that path...
"Un-Fixed" Prices
In the past year, we've seen some of the biggest price increases in quite some time...
When giant prices like this happen in a year, people think they are only an anomaly. But a
year from now, people are going to realize that this is the new normal.
The government is printing so much money that we are going to see these types of violent
price increases year after year after year. And if you don't do something to protect yourself
now, you are going to be very sorry...
For instance, in the past 7 months, the price of regular unleaded gasoline in the United States
has risen an average of $1.19.
If this continued for the next 2-3 years, 6 or 7 bucks a gallon could easily become the new
norm. There are some folks who believe gas prices could easily climb to $8 or more... which
is what most of Europe already pays...and $10 a gallon has been tossed around too.
Sounds ridiculously high, but when you add $1-$2 increases up over the next 2-3 years, it's
not implausible.
At $10 a gallon, the average family's gas bill would leap from 16% of its retail spending to
about 40%, says Todd Hale, a senior vice president for consumer researcher at Nielsen.
At $10 a gallon, we would see "a lot of parked planes," says Bill Swelbar, an air transport
engineer for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It would cost about $132 to gas up a Civic... and $225 for a Ford Explorer...
Thousands of truckers would go bankrupt... the price of everything would rise savagely... as
the cost of transportation affects everything...
Restaurants and stores would shut down...
Petrochemical fertilizers, shipping, and plastics costs would soar, putting a huge hurt on
American farmers...
You could say goodbye to consumer spending...
With American states and cities facing their own fiscal nightmares, public transportation
would probably shut down...
At $10 a gallon, folks aren't going to drive to shop. Heck, even without sky-high gas prices,
bedrock U.S. retailers like Blockbuster and Circuit City have already gone bust.
Companies like FedEx and UPS would see their businesses crippled...
"It'd be brutal," says Joseph Miller, an assistant manager at a Domino's Pizza in Seattle. "I
would think we wouldn't have any drivers."
Food prices have been increasing at an even faster rate. Granted, bad weather has messed
with global supplies this year... but higher food prices aren't just a freak occurrence.
"The bottom line is that food prices are going to get higher," said Jay Armstrong, a Kansas
farmer.
According to the International Monetary Fund, "The world may have to adjust to higher food
prices."
For instance, if food prices continue to rise over the next few years, based on current price
increases, you could be paying $16,000-$24,000 a year for groceries.
This is only an extrapolation, but keep in mind, we haven't even begun to see the worst of
this year's food inflation. It takes about 6 months for price hikes to hit you in the
supermarket. Plus, most retailers have been holding back this year's price increases from the
consumer. This won't last much longer...
Meanwhile, most Americans' salaries aren't increasing nearly that fast. And I know folks on
fixed incomes sure as heck aren't making enough new money each year to keep up with these
price increases.
It is "100% guaranteed that we're going to have hyperinflation," says noted economist and
investment advisor Marc Faber.
Just how high could prices rise?
Well, according to the National Inflation Association (NIA), it'll soon cost $11.43 for one ear
of corn, $23.05 for a 24 oz loaf of wheat bread, $62.61 for a 32 oz package of Domino
Granulated Sugar, $24.31 for a 32 fl oz container of soy milk, $77.71 for a 11.30 oz container
of Folgers Classic Roast Coffee, $45.71 for a 64 fl oz container of Minute Maid Orange
Juice, and $15.50 for a Hershey's Milk Chocolate 1.55 oz candy bar.
This might sound absurd... except... it's already happening. Look, in just the last year the
price of coffee has more than doubled. Since 2009, sugar prices have jumped as much as
200%.
But, no matter how high prices go or how fast they rise, the government disclaims all
responsibility! They continue to say the party line: there's no inflation or inflation remains
well contained.
How stupid do they think we are?
Let me show you why you need to do something about this while you still can...
Get out while you still can
What if energy or food prices suddenly doubled again?
What would happen?
Once a major inflationary shock hits our system – whether it's in food or energy...
It may be too late for you to get out...
Consider what happened last May in Westin, Massachusetts...
A water pipe ruptured—15 miles outside of Boston. Millions of gallons poured into the
Charles River. Not a big deal, right? It's not like a Tsunami struck the coast... or a hurricane
busted the levies and leveled the town.
But the Governor, Deval Patrick, declared a state of emergency. He ordered citizens to boil
their water. Failure to do so could cause "serious illness," he said. Cops cruised the streets
repeating the same message via loudspeaker...
Fear set in...
Millions of residents scrambled to local stores to load up on water. Inside, people were
literally fighting over cases. Outside one establishment, the line of cars was 2 miles long.
Within hours, all retail stores in Boston were out of bottled water.
That may sound bizarre... but it's basic human nature. Once an item of survival is threatened
– food, shelter, or water – or the means to procure those items (money)...
Then we devolve to our basic animal state. It's fundamental instinct.
So if total pandemonium broke loose over a busted water pipe... what do you think might
happen if gas shot up to $10 a gallon?
What do you think might happen if the price of water, eggs, meat, or vegetables suddenly
doubled or tripled? Or, even worse... what if the dollar fell 50% overnight...
How would people react if they knew it was only a matter of time before the dollars in their
accounts were completely void and worthless?
I don't know about you... but I'd rather not risk the chance of that happening...
I'd rather do something about it now, than potentially lose all of my wealth if the worst did
come true...
There is a way to protect yourself against this brewing crisis. It's an opportunity which we
call "TROPHIES." I'll tell you about it in just a few moments...
But first, you might be thinking....
"But, that could never happen here..."
So what's going to trigger the next phase of inflation? What will cause things to go from kind
of bad to catastrophic?
If you examine history, and take a hard look at the dozen or more cases of terminal inflation
– or hyperinflation – you'll see they all had a couple root causes in common...
1) Debts so huge that they can no longer find new lenders, and...
2) A flight from local currency.
For example, today, everybody knows China is the fastest growing country in the world.
They have an enormous cash surplus—so much money they don't know what to do with it.
But in 1948, it was a much different story. Government debt became so big, creditors worried
they'd ever be able to repay it.
So what did China do?
It printed money to cover its obligations. Inflation spiraled out of control. Before the fiasco,
3.41 Yuan could buy you one dollar. By the end, it would take 23,280,000 Yuan to buy the
same.
7 years later, once the crisis had run its course, and a new currency was in place...citizens
could exchange 10,000 Yuan for one unit of the country's new currency.
Can you imagine having $10,000 dollars devalued to the point where they equaled just one
new dollar?
Something very similar happened in Greece, a country and culture much older than ours...
After WWII, Greece's budget deficits got out of control. The Bank of Greece had to double
the money supply in two years just to fund them.
Massive unemployment, coupled with expectations of future inflation and a stampede out of
the Drachma – Greece's currency at the time – ultimately set off the downward spiral...
Prices were doubling every 4.3 days. The monthly inflation rate was 13,800%!
Because prices were rising so fast, the average holding time of a Drachma was just 4 hours.
If you held it any longer, you risked losing buying power.
Again, massive debt and devaluation of the currency did them in...
It doesn't matter what country, how much money it has, or how long they've been around...
That's a toxic combination...
For instance, in 1989, Yugoslavia's Government began monetizing its debt – they began
printing money to fund their budget. This would prove to be the catalyst for a huge currency
crisis.
Price controls and currency controls came next...
The Government basically fixed prices for goods and regulated stores. Of course, this
backfired. Government-priced stores shut down... and black-market gasoline stands opened,
selling gas at the equivalent to $8 a gallon.
Black market foreign exchange counters opened as well. People rushed counters with huge
piles of Dinars (the currency at the time) to exchange for a single U.S. dollar note.
With gas at $8 a gallon on the black market, ambulances, delivery trucks, and garbage trucks
were short of fuel. Farmers couldn't get enough for fall harvesting and planting...
Despite its best efforts to print new money, the Government couldn't print enough to keep
basic infrastructure functional...
Roads fell apart. Elevators broke down and stayed that way. Construction projects shut down.
Unemployment passed 30%.
Price controls became so ridiculous that people stopped producing. The city of Belgrade went
without food.
The entire system collapsed.
Thieves robbed hospitals for pharmaceuticals. Railway workers went on strike. The
Government fixed the level of pensions. But they didn't provide postage, so recipients didn't
get paid.
When it was all said and done, per capita income had dropped by 50%. People were forced to
use up their hard earned savings.
As Hopkins Professor Steve Hanke put it, "For a sense of the impact on the local population,
imagine the value of your bank accounts in dollars and then move the decimal point 22
places to the left. Then try to buy something."
Talk about the destruction of wealth and savings. Can you imagine that?
We spend our entire adult lives working and saving for the day when we can no longer work
and provide for ourselves. While we may not always have the amount of money we'd like...
we assume the money sitting in Social Security, our bank accounts and 401ks will maintain
its integrity.
What if one day it was all gone? What if the $250,000 you have sitting in an account
suddenly became worth no more than ten or twenty bucks.
It's inconceivable. But all of this happened within a two-year period in Yugoslavia.
The same story played out in Germany...
Before WWI, Germany was one of the richest countries in the world. But to pay for the war,
they had to issue foreign bonds... which valued at today's prices, initially put them
approximately $4.74 trillion in debt to foreign lenders.
The German government began printing money. They used this newly minted cash to pay off
debts and bail out some wealthy industrialists. For a short while, things looked OK. Prices,
cost of living, and the economy all seemed relatively stable.
But as inflation continued, the currency began to plummet. The cost of running the
Government and funding its many social programs shot up. To pay for this – and to keep
more people employed – the Government printed more money.
As a result, the value of the currency fell even more, and the price of things went way up.
Prices doubled in five months. Milk shot up 128%. Beer rose 220%. Factory workers
demanded wage increases.
Most folks "were taken by surprise by the financial tornado," writes PBS...
"My father was a lawyer," says Walter Levy, an oil consultant in New York, "and he had
taken out an insurance policy in 1903, and every month he had made the payments faithfully.
It was a 20-year policy, and when it came due, he cashed it in and bought a single loaf of
bread."
The printing presses ran through the night. Restaurant menus were constantly being
changed...
One man – a college student at the time – remembers ordering a cup of coffee in a café,
which cost 5,000 marks. He decided to order a second cup. When the bill came, he owed
14,000 marks. The price of coffee had changed while he was sitting there....
As soon as folks got paid, they rushed to the store to buy what they could, before prices shot
up...
Factory workers were paid as often as 3-times a day. Prices doubled every 3.7 days.
Food riots broke out. City workers looted farms.
People began burning money because it was cheaper than buying firewood.
With the German currency a sham, the savings of middle class folks everywhere were wiped
out. People fled the currency. They sold clothing, jewelry, and art – anything they had – just
to get food. Prostitutes roamed the streets. Crime and looting broke out. People stole copper
out of houses and siphoned gas from cars and trucks. A barter economy emerged. People
traded shirts for shoes... pots and pans for coffee.
Hospitals and churches closed down.
Before the crisis hit, you could buy one U.S. dollar with 4.2 German marks. At the peak of
the crisis, when inflation was raging at 29,500% a month, it took 238 million marks to buy a
dollar.
In each of these countries – China, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Germany – the same story
played out...
It's the same story that has unfolded in nearly a dozen other first world countries...
Once the Government starts printing money to finance its debts, the currency falls in value...
Until suddenly, one day, all hell breaks loose....
Could the same thing happen in the United States?
Let's take a quick look...
"There is really no way out of this trap at this point."
~Bill Gross, world's largest bond fund manager
Just in the past ten minutes it took you to read this letter, approximately $5,616,000 has been
added to the U.S. National Debt... which has topped a staggering $14 trillion.
That's roughly $45,977 per citizen. And $128,648 per tax payer.
We've gotten ourselves into so much debt, there aren't enough dollars in existence to ever
repay it...
Now I know... people's eyes glaze over when there's any talk about the debt, and I don't
blame them. So I'm not going take much time here. But it's important to know the debt issue
really is different this time. And it's at the very heart of what's happening today...
Between two long-term wars, financial bailouts, stimulus funds, and too many social
programs to name... the Federal Government's day-to-day financial commitments... have
become so big, that we have to borrow 41 cents for every dollar we spend. We're spending 3
trillion dollars a year. And taking in 2.2 trillion. We're borrowing just to maintain!
What happens when we "borrow?"
Well, for a long time our country always borrowed in a legitimate way. The government
would offer bills, notes and bonds of various durations. Real investors would lend the U.S.
government money by purchasing these bonds, which carried the full force of the law.
Interest rates were set by these actual investors, who were willing to part with their savings in
exchange for some rate of repayment.
Because our government was such a powerful institution, and because America was such a
powerful country, normally the government's borrowing costs were low – around 2%, in real
terms, annually. So, if underlying inflation was running at say 3% a year, investors would
typically demand interest rates of about 5% annually.
Banks and financial intuitions from around the world would judge the appropriate rate of
interest for various lenders based on this "benchmark" rate – a rate that was set by real
investors bidding on U.S. Treasury bonds.
Unfortunately, that's not the way things work anymore.
Today the secretive bankers at the Federal Reserve have been supplying almost all (roughly
70%) of the demand for U.S. Treasury bonds. The Federal Reserve isn't a 'real' investor – it
doesn't have to earn the money it spends. It just prints it up.
Using newly created money to buy government debt is called 'monetizing the debt' by
economists. It's almost always a sure sign of a coming hyperinflation. These kinds of
maneuvers used to only happen in so-called 'Banana Republics' – countries that would have a
new currency crisis every three or four years.
It's the kind of thing most investors believed could never happen in America. And yet... it's
been happening here regularly since the financial crisis of 2008.
This process don't only create inflation... it also completely destroys the legitimacy of the
U.S. Treasury as a responsible borrower. And that will have a very negative impact on our
way of life for a long time...
Let me explain...
From the birth of our country, to when Reagan became President, the United States
accumulated a total debt of about 1 trillion dollars.
In just the last 30 years, we've accumulated 12 trillion dollars more debt. It's the largest
national debt in the history of the world!
If we continue at our current rate, in 2020 we'll be paying $2 trillion a year just to cover the
interest!
Okay, so what, you might say...
People always talk about Debt. Why is now any different? And what does this have to do
with me and the price of things?
Simple...
America has never had a shortage of lenders. Folks have always wanted to buy U.S.
Treasuries....
Why wouldn't they? You get paid back in dollars, which used to be the world's strongest
currency, plus interest... by a country whose financial stability and certainty has never been
questioned.
Over the past 5 years, China has been our biggest lender. They've been more than eager to
buy U.S. Treasuries... and have accumulated roughly 1.8 trillion dollars' worth.
But in that time, they've watched us nearly double our national debt ... and raid our own
Social Security surplus to feed this debt...
As a result, the dollar has fallen dramatically: 66% (against the Euro) since 2002...
Now, if you're China, and you're lending out trillions of dollars... and if those dollars are
falling in value that fast... is there any amount of interest they could add to the deal that
would make you feel comfortable enough to keep investing?
Bottom line, China has cut back on the amount of money they lend us. Some folks suspect
they may stop altogether. Or, even worse, that they may start unloading some of their US
Treasury debt.
That's exactly what PIMCO – the world's largest bond fund – has done. Not only have they
stopped buying... but in the past few months, they've also gotten rid of all of their U.S.
Treasury holdings.
In other words, they're not lending any more money to a Government determined to destroy
the very currency they'd pay you back in...
So, who is buying our bonds? Who is lending us the money we need to "make America's
ends meet" – to pay for the food stamps, the Government salaries, the Social Security
checks?
As I explained earlier, the group buying 70% of the bonds issued by the U.S. government is...
incredibly... the U.S. Federal Reserve.
You see, the Federal Government is stuck in a trap: Unless they want to default on loans,
dissolve entire agencies, and watch the economy plunge into Depression, they'll have to
continue printing ever-increasing amounts of new money simply to survive.
By doing so, they'll continue to dilute the value of your money... and as a result, prices will
continue to rise... and many other bad things will happen as well (which I'll get into in just a
moment)...
It's no wonder S&P recently downgraded its outlook on America's credit rating from stable to
negative for the first time in 70 years – since the attack on Pearl Harbor.
As the National Inflation Association writes:
"U.S. government deficit spending is now directly leading to U.S. inflation that will destroy
the standard of living for all Americans."
Why then doesn't the Government just cut deficit spending?
Obama promised to halve the budget deficit in his first term. Instead, it's grown by 262%.
But the problem is bigger than that...
If you add up the National Debt and all of the money owed for Social Security and Medicare,
then our real "fiscal gap" is more like $202 trillion, according to Boston University
economics professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, who analyzed Congressional Budget office data.
So you see, there's no amount of money in existence that we can cut to pay back what we
owe...
And the Federal Reserve seems committed to printing more money until our country's
financial and economic problems are over...
But by continuing to print money, they're making the debt even larger... further weakening
our financial system and currency, triggering bigger and bigger problems...
It's a nasty cycle...
And pretty soon, it's bound to come undone...
What can you do about it?
I've done a lot of research on this, and I've found a way for you to protect what you've got...
and potentially make a lot of money in the process as well...
Let me explain...
Use Your Paper Dollars Now – Before It's Too Late
If you're looking to get out of the U.S. dollar – and protect yourself from inflation – then you
should take a look at what we like to call "Trophy" assets.
There are only a handful of quality "Trophies" in existence in the world today... and countries
like China, India, and America are battling it out for control of them.
What are "Trophies?"
Well, they involve commodities, but probably not in a way you've considered before.
Let me explain...
"Trophies" are prize resources – mega-fields, farms, and deposits, which offer tremendous
strategic and economic value to the countries and companies that own them...
For instance...
If you take a look back through history, you'll find that at any given moment, typically a
dozen or so "Trophies" reigned supreme...
From 1965 to the end of the 20th century, the North Sea was a hugely valuable oil and gas
"Trophy." It generated billions of dollars in revenue for Britain and Norway... and launched
the fortunes of companies like British Petroleum, Statoil, and Shell.
In the early 20th Century, the Homestake Mine in South Dakota was America's premiere
gold "Trophy." It made the Hearst family – and early shareholders in Homestake Mining
very wealthy. During the Great Depression, shares of Homestake rose 519%... and the stock
also paid out $128 per share in dividends. If you owned 1,000 shares, you'd have collected an
extra $128,000 – on top of the capital gains.
In 2000, Cameco – a Canadian company – began production on McArthur River, the world's
greatest uranium "Trophy." It's the largest high-grade uranium deposit and mine in the world.
Early shareholders saw their stakes jump from $2 to $53 in about seven years.
John Rockefeller's Standard Oil found most of America's OIL "TROPHIES"...
Then there's the Witwatersrand "Trophy" in South Africa – the source of 40% of all the gold
ever mined. It's one of the reasons for the Boer War and why the Brits stole the country.
There's Freeport McMoran, which owns Grasberg, one of the largest gold and copper
"Trophies" ever mined. Shares of Freeport rose 1,400% as a result.
The list goes on, but you probably get the point...
"Trophies" are enormously valuable caches of strategic minerals and commodities. Because
they're so valuable, investors who own them could watch their stakes rise by many multiples.
And because commodities rise during periods of high inflation, these TROPHIES are a slam-
dunk idea right now.
For instance, in 1979, the rate of inflation was 11.2%. Had you invested in certain
"TROPHY" assets, you could have made as much as 798% instead.
In other words, for every 1% inflation moved, you could have made 72%.
Not even close!
Now, there are more than 90 different commodities bought and sold on public markets...
But there are only a handful that are "Trophy-worthy"...
I'm talking about things like energy, precious metals, and food....
China is busy hunting for the biggest trophies in these categories...
Why?
Because they have more to lose from inflation than anyone....
As I mentioned, they're sitting on at least a trillion U.S. dollars. Every time the U.S.
Government prints more dollars, China's dollar holdings become worth less. So they're
pouring this cash into "TROPHIES."
For instance, last year, China bought a multibillion-dollar stake in the Eagle Ford –
America's biggest natural gas and oil "TROPHY."
They've also bought mining TROPHIES in Australia, Platinum "Trophies" in South
Africa...oil TROPHIES in Brazil and Africa...
Earlier this year they bought a huge stake in a company called Encana, giving them partial
ownership of one of the largest Natural Gas and Shale Gas "TROPHIES" in North America.
Of course, U.S. and India are in the hunt for TROPHIES too...
But China has the most clout, the most money... and has had the most success in securing the
best "TROPHIES"...
We can show you how to get you in on these deals... In fact, we can show you how to get in
on some TROPHY assets we've learned about that even the Chinese can't get access to...
Let me explain...
"TROPHY" No. 1: OIL
You've probably heard of the Athabascan oil basin in Alberta, Canada. It's well documented.
60 Minutes broke the story wide open in a big feature about five years ago.
In short, Canada has 175 billion barrels of recoverable oil trapped in sand. This stuff doesn't
gush like a traditional oil well. It's more like clay or sludge. Extracting it is a messy,
expensive and time-consuming process. But with oil over $90 a barrel, it's well worth the
hassle.
Athabasca is a HUGE "TROPHY." Arguably the most valuable trophy asset of any sort
anywhere in the world. While it's second to Saudi Arabia in terms of oil reserves... it's much
more valuable because it's in friendly, stable Canada – not the Middle East.
What you've probably never heard about Athabasca is a company called Syncrude – it's the
only "pure" play on this trophy. Syncrude is a consortium of 7 companies. They own the
rights to 4.8 billion barrels of oil sands crude. But because it's private, you can't buy shares of
it anywhere.
China has wanted a piece of this TROPHY for a while now. They managed to get a small
piece of Athabasca last year when they bought a stake in Penn West. But Penn West's
Athabascan holdings only produce about 2,700 barrels a day.
That's nothing compared to Syncrude, which pumps out about 345,000 barrels a day – 127
times as much.
So when a small stake in Syncrude opened last year, China leapt at the opportunity. Though
it represented just 9% of Syncrude, it cost the Chinese close to $5 billion. It was the largest
investment they've ever made in Canada. That just goes to show how valuable the
Athabascan "TROPHY" is...
Why am I telling you about this?
Because we've found a way for you to get in on this deal too...
It's an opportunity to invest in an entity that owns more than 30% of Syncrude. That's several
times more than what China could get access to.
Don't worry, this has nothing to do with private investments. You do need a brokerage
account that lets you buy Canadian equities. But setting up an account is super safe and easy
to do. In fact, you can often get started with $100 or less.
I can't tell you much more about the details of this opportunity here, but if you're interested, I
can send you a free report called TROPHIES: Where to put your paper dollars while there's
still time instead. Inside, you'll find the full details of the secret way we've found to get into
the Athabascan "TROPHY." I'll tell you how to get this report in just a moment.
But first, how could this "TROPHY" asset protect you against inflation?
Here, take look at a chart of the U.S. dollar from the past ten years:
Now, take a look at the chart of oil from the past 10 years:
It looks almost identical to the dollar, except it's been going up while the dollar has been
going down.
This isn't a coincidence...
You see, two things determine the price of oil... or the price of anything for that matter.
1) The thing being measured. In this case, oil.
And 2) the measuring stick, which in this case is the U.S. dollar.
Now, the thing being measured – oil – has real value. People all over the world use and need
it. They're not making any more of it. And oil cannot be copied, counterfeited or replicated in
any way. It's a real store of value.
So the thing being measured – oil – is intrinsically valuable. There's real demand for it. And
there's a real shortage too. On its own merits, the price of oil is rising.
But because its measuring stick – the U.S. Dollar – has been falling in value (thanks to
rampant inflation and the world's largest national debt)... the price of oil has been rising
much higher than it normally would. If the Government is going to make the dollar worth
less... and if oil is priced in dollars... then the folks who drill and produce oil have to make oil
worth more to keep up.
Do you see what I mean?
Inflation dilutes the value of the currency. People raise prices to keep up. For as long and as
much as the U.S. Government continues to devalue the dollar, the price of oil will continue to
rise.
This happened in the 1970s...
Here's a chart of the dollar from 1974 to 1981:
Look familiar?
As a result, many stocks looked like they made gains. But when you adjusted for inflation,
the real rate of return was actually negative.
During the same period, oil looked like this:
Again, look familiar?
As result of this inflation, the price of oil nearly tripled in value. Of course, there were real
events going on – like a revolution in Iran – which caused the real value of oil to rise. But
most of the rise came from a massive devaluation of the U.S. currency...
From 1974-1982, most energy TROPHIES outpaced inflation by many many multiples...
Consider a company called Atlantic Richfield. They owned 1.2 million acres of Canadian oil
sands, long before oil sands became a hot commodity. From 1975 to '76, shares of Atlantic
Richfield rose nearly 3-times higher than inflation.
By 1980, inflation had gotten even worse, hitting 13.5%. Had you invested in certain energy-
related "TROPHIES" like Sovereign Oil, you could have made as much as 302% instead,
outpacing inflation by nearly 22 to 1.
Could you make as much with the backdoor way we've found into Syncrude?
I wouldn't be surprised.
So far, companies involved in Canada's oil sands have made a fortune:
Petrobank Energy and Oilsands Quest have generated as much as 1,506% and 2,682%.
Syncrude is huge – and has been producing oil for several years now. But the company that
we're recommending to you is still completely unknown to most Americans...and has
tremendous room for growth.
In fact, they've only tapped less than one-third of the oil they're likely sitting on. Plus, they
have plans currently in the works to expand production capacity by another 50%.
If you believe oil will continue to be a valuable commodity in the long run, then this
opportunity is a no-brainer.
If you'd like the full details, we've put together a report called TROPHIES: Where to put your
paper dollars while there's still time, which contains everything you need to know about this
secret backdoor way into the Athabascan basin – as well as several of our favorite TROPHY
assets, and how to get exposure to them.
Let me show you how to get a free copy....
Why I Published this Report
As I mentioned at the start of this letter, my name is Matthew Badiali. I'm a Geologist,
financial analyst, and Editor of a newsletter called the S&A Resource Report.
The "S&A," as you may already know, stands for "Stansberry & Associates" Investment
Research—the financial research firm that publishes my letter.
We're based in Baltimore's historic Mt Vernon district, in an 1870s brownstone mansion built
by the famed architect Stanford White on a commission by Thomas Winans, the heir to a
19th century railroad fortune.
But we and our affiliates have offices throughout the world – Paris, London, Germany, South
Africa, Australia, Ireland, San Francisco, Oregon... and sunny Florida, which is where I work
and live with my lovely wife and beautiful children.
Before writing this newsletter, I worked on drill rigs, taught at three prestigious universities,
spent years in the field, and months in laboratories. I've also presented my scientific research
at scientific conferences as well as to companies like Anadarko and Exxon Mobil.
What it all boils down to is a lifetime of seeing how this industry works, from every angle.
And a few years ago, I decided to start putting my expertise to work in the world of finance.
Why?
Because I realized that someone with my level of expertise could make a killing in the
markets – especially now.
At this very moment, two major forces are colliding in the global financial markets...
The world's reserve currency – the U.S. dollar – is in free fall. This is driving investors into
real world assets: precious metals, food, and energy...
Meanwhile, thanks to massive new consumption coming from China and India, all of these
real world assets are experiencing enormous demand surges – and equally enormous supply
shortages.
Bottom line, these forces have collided and are giving us one of the greatest buying
opportunities of a lifetime.
We created the S&A Resource Report to take advantage of it...
Every month for the past five years, I've shown our subscribers how to make some incredible
gains. For example:
Veritas (VTS): 101.2% gains
Northern Dynasty Minerals (NAK): 322% gains
MAG Silver (MVG): 156% gains
Petrobras (PBR): 166.4% gains
ATAC Resources (ATAC): 343% gains
Rainy River (RR.V): 161% gains
Paramount Gold (PZG): 114% gains
AuEx Ventures (XAU): 198% gains
I truly believe that if there's anything in the world right now that can protect your wealth, it's
the "TROPHIES" and opportunities we've detailed in our recently published report.
For instance, inside this report, you'll also learn about...
"TROPHY" #2: FOOD
There's no doubt that food is one of the most valuable assets to own right now...
The United States is home to the most valuable food "Trophy" in the world – the American
Midwest. This is a huge chunk of fertile land, right in the middle of the country. The
Mississippi River runs right through it, giving producers easy transport access to the Gulf of
Mexico...
US farmland has skyrocketed – outpacing inflation by 58%. In Iowa, for instance, farmland
values have risen 19.7% in the past 6 months... and 25.4% this year alone. In Kansas and
Nebraska prices of farmland have jumped nearly as much.
Most of the acreage in the Midwest is owned by thousands of private farmers. In other words,
it's hard to buy.
But there is another food "TROPHY" in North America, which practically no one knows
about yet...
It's a two million acre swath of farmland. To give you some idea of how big that is... if you
add up all of the farmland in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, it's still bigger.
But here's the thing...
In most states, just like in the Midwest, farmland is owned by thousands of different people.
But this farmland is pretty much continuous and controlled by one group. You'll find huge,
50,000-100,000 acre tracts of land. One tract is an incredible 380,000-acre piece of farmland.
Just picture a 40-mile to 60-mile chunk of land. I'm talking continuous farmland as far as the
eye can see in every direction. The beauty is, it's all being farmed. Between grass-fed cattle
grazing and grain operations, this is a fully operational agri-business.
I don't know about you, but if catastrophe strikes the United States, I sure as heck want to
have some of my money in food.
So where is this TROPHY property?
Canada.
It's the second largest farm in that country.
Who owns it?
That's the really interesting part of this whole opportunity...
You see, it's very difficult, to the point of impossible, for foreign investors to get exposure to
farmland in Canada.
Provincial law in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, two of the largest farming regions in Canada,
prevent foreign ownership, leasing or owning of land. Alberta, there are restrictions, but it's
still limited to less than 50 percent.
But we've found a way for you to get a stake in this farming operation with no hassles – no
matter where you live. We've found a small company that owns 80% of this farming
operation. They're publicly traded, so you can buy shares if your broker lets you buy
Canadian-listed securities.
It's highly unlikely you'd ever hear about it on your own. Because it's small and Canadian,
there's very little information about it in print.
But we know about this stock intimately, because a good friend of our firm, a wealthy
investor who's plugged into Canada's natural resources sector, clued us in...
Since then, we've spoken with the company's CEO as well as the founder... and we've even
visited this farming operation in person, where we met the folks in charge of running the
farm.
If you're looking for an easy way to store your capital in food, then I can't think of any place
better...
This is the ultimate food TROPHY. Because it's relatively new, there's plenty of room for
growth. And because its biggest owner is publicly traded, you don't have to worry about the
hassles of private ownership.
What's more, these guys also own large quantities of other key items too...
For instance, in addition to this huge TROPHY farm, they also own 73,971 ounces of gold
bullion. They're also actively invested in energy at the moment. Just to show you how good
the guys are running this company... they just closed out a coal investment, which netted
them a 338% return on their money.
Bottom line, if you're looking to protect your capital against inflation, this is one of the best –
and least known – places in the world to put a good portion of it.
We've included all of the details, including the name of this company, in our recently
published report called TROPHIES: Where to put your paper dollars while there's still time.
As I mentioned, I'll give you immediate access to a copy, free of charge...
The only thing I ask is that you take a trial subscription to my research advisory, the S&A
Resource Report...
Is my work right for you?
I don't know. But let me tell you a little bit about it so you can decide for yourself...
Gold "TROPHY" – Details Below
My passion is research... and finding great investments no one else is talking about.
And as a geologist, my expertise spans the gamut of natural resources – from oil and gas, to
gold, silver and rare earth elements.
In my career, I've studied them all – and have shown my readers how to protect themselves
against inflation... as well as make a lot of money by investing in them.
Keep in mind, these are the opportunities you're not likely to hear about from mainstream
news and media sources.
For example...
In July 2009, I started alerting my subscribers to what was happening with the dollar... and
recommended getting into silver. The Fed was cranking the printing presses, and had already
created a trillion new dollars out of thin air. Inflation was on the way. I recommended a
company called Silver Wheaton.
Silver Wheaton isn't your typical silver miner. In fact, they don't touch mining. Instead, these
guys do what's called "silver streaming." They buy silver as a byproduct from base metal
mines. You see, mining is a time and money intensive process. By "Silver streaming," Silver
Wheaton gets all of the rewards of mining, but none of the hassles. We closed out this
recommendation with 345% gains.
Around the same time, I noticed China was about to ignite a boom in its domestic precious
metals production. When the Chinese Government gets behind an industry – whether it's the
power industry, or coal... early investors have made a killing. That's why I recommended
Jinshan Gold Mines and Silvercorp Metals. These companies both have huge metals projects
in China... and their stocks jumped 339% and 270%.
The following summer, I spent two weeks driving along the coastal plains of South Texas
with several of the world's most successful wildcatters. We were surveying the Eagle Ford –
arguably the largest shale gas field in America. Official numbers still don't exist on how
much energy this field holds...But one of the wildcatters I was with said it will easily be the
biggest discovery of his more than 30-year career... and maybe the largest in the history of
the U.S. oil industry.
I found three ways to play the Eagle Ford, and recommended them to my S&A Resource
Report subscribers. So far – and keep in mind these are still open recommendations in our
portfolio – Magnum Hunter Resources has risen 74%. Vanguard Natural Resources has risen
53%. And EV Energy Partners is up 76%.
My point is this: It's my job to travel to extreme lengths and reach out to industry insiders the
average person would never talk to. Because of this on the ground research, I find ideas and
opportunities the average investor would never encounter simply by reading the paper or
surfing online.
This is probably why The S&A Resource Report research also has many mining and energy
industry professionals who follow my work...
Like 30-year Amoco veteran Mike Hourihan:
"Matt Badiali's Report is my favorite newsletter... and I would recommend it to anyone."
And Gerald Wilson, the director of an NYSE-listed exploration and production company:
"Your letter, in many instances, has confirmed good ideas under consideration and at other
times introduced new ideas, which have proven to be very profitable! I look forward to your
report each month and find it to be extremely valuable. Keep up the good work!"
And Harold Dickens, PhD, who's spent the last 9 years in global energy services:
"I know all the big names in energy and energy services... but The S&A Resource Report has
introduced me to faster growing, small energy service companies that are performing
extremely well. I am very satisfied with the performance of these investments overall."
Of course, I can't say for sure if The S&A Resource Report is right for you. But to help you
decide, here's what I propose:
Try The S&A Resource Report for the next four (4) months, at no obligation.
Here's what I mean...
Simply start trial subscription today, and you'll have instant access to the report I already
mentioned:
TROPHIES: Where to put your paper dollars while there's still time.
Inside, you'll find the details on the Athabascan and food TROPHIES I mentioned, as well as
the specifics on how we recommend investing in them.
Plus, you'll also learn the details of a gold TROPHY with the potential, I believe, to make
early shareholders 3-4 times their money, or more. This is one of the top 5 undeveloped gold
deposits in the world, and next to no one knows about it yet.
Plus, every month you'll receive my Resource Report advisory letter, delivered to you on the
first Tuesday of each month, first by e-mail, then by regular mail too. You'll also receive our
daily market reports, sent by e-mail, also at no extra charge.
Over the next four months, take your time and decide if The S&A Resource Report is right
for you. If not, I'll send you a FULL refund, and you can keep everything you've received up
until that point.
How much does The S&A Resource Report cost?
I think it's ridiculously cheap, especially considering all you receive, and the time, money,
and effort we put into this work. The truth is, just one of the investment ideas I'll share with
you could help you make many times the subscription price.
And it's not just me saying this...
"I think that The S&A Resource Report provides the best financial advice I have ever had,
bar none... Parker Drilling Co. I bought at $2.75 and now it is at $5.07 for an 84% increase.
Thanks, and keep up the great suggestions."
– Doug P., Albany, NY
"Matt, I have used your advisories a lot.On Northern Dynasty Minerals I made 167% and on
Parker Drilling Company 161%."
– Karl B., Austin, TX

excess of $4,000. Far better results and profits than any previous service."

"Sold Rowan Companies and a total of $2265.08. As you can see I'm way head of the game.
Thanks to your letters...[I'm] up $31,552.93 to date for this year.

One full year of the S&A Resource Report typically costs $99. But today I'd like to offer you
the chance to try my research for less than HALF the regular price. You'll pay just $39 for an
entire year or my work, including everything mentioned here.
Why so cheap?
Well, to be honest, our business really only works if our subscribers stick with us for the
long-term. The important thing for us is giving you the opportunity to try our research and
check out our ideas. I know that once you do, you'll see the value in what we publish.
So take a trial subscription to the S&A Resource Report, read through my monthly issues.
Check out my ideas. And remember: You'll have the next four (4) months to make up your
mind.
In other words, by taking advantage of this offer, YOU ARE AGREEING ONLY
TO TRY MY WORK, TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT.

You can keep everything I've sent you, my compliments.

online access to this report as soon as you activate your trial subscription.
I truly believe no matter how much inflation the Government pounds us with, the ideas in
this report can help to protect you... and have the potential to make you quite a bit of money
in the process as well.
