Getting Started
This site has two purposes. The first is to publicize The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit From It, which I co-wrote with GoldMoney’s James Turk in 2004. The second is to cover the ongoing destruction of the global financial system and offer some updated strategies for profiting from it. This is a complex story, with lots of moving parts and a constant flow of new information. Luckily, it’s all out there in accessible form. So here’s a lesson plan, consisting of some crucial pieces of background information followed by links to the most useful sites, newsletters, and books.
1. Read Chapter 1, Illusions of Prosperity
2. Read the Dollar Collapse FAQs
3. Check out the other websites, newsletters, and books recommended on this site.
Do all this, and nothing that happens in the next few years will surprise you.
