Whoa! Mark, tons of conjecture, there. I did not watch the entire presentation, and while some of what they say may be fact, there's a lot of supposition involved. If these people or person is so savvy regarding what is going to happen financially in this country, why aren't they working for the government? How come I've never heard of "their predictions"? Next, what are they trying to sell you?

Conjecture indeed! Based on what I found when I Googled this infomercial, not everyone -- including the Securities and Exchange Commission -- seems to think this guy is on the up and up.

Obviously, you "Know" goin' in that there's always gonna be a catch (something they wanna SELL you), so that's a given.....after all, this is Amerika. And also obviously, it would not exactly be in the securities and exchange commissions best interest to go round saying this guy knows his ****. But his track record does speak for itself. And all i know is, "stranger things have happened." And i also know the meaning of one word, "COVER!"
Fortunately i have a relitive in Japan (my mother-in-law.....God help me :lol: ).....so we have that option. And Misa is a Japanese citizen, not a naturalized American.....she's here on a green card, and has been since the late 70's. Most of our "stash" so-to-speak, is wraped up in Yen anyway.....but if this guy IS right..........there's a tune that comes to mind. Things Aint What They Used To Be." ;)

Mark,
Who is this guy? Do you know him? Do you know for sure he predicted what he says he has? I mean if he did, why didn't we hear about him sooner when he first predicted it? It seems someone should have heard him.

Anyone can say they predicted something after the fact and they can also make up graphs, etc to support anything they have to say. To me it sounds like a big ploy to get you to take their advice or seek it, and then I'm sure you pay for their services. Hey want me to advise you? In addition I can give you an account at my investment firm where you can deposit your money where it will definitely be secure. Or better yet, I can sell you some silver and gold, at my price, of course, because after all, these precious metals will only go up in value.

I say, watch what you listen to, and beware of one person or company that knows something nobody else knows, and for some reason, nobody else is listening to if they have the track record they claim they have. Strange!

I listened to the financial history part & the part where we are wrecking our own currency. That part was right on. I didn't
continue listening after that.

Theres only one thing to do lads, spend all your savings on fishing tackle and fly tying stuff :D you may need to get seriously into imitative flies so you will be able to feed yourself and your family. :) - off course a large net maybe more effective

guys........i only pulled your coat because i care.................i never said i believe this guy one way or the other.............or anything about anything having to do with his predictions or whatever..........i did say his track record speaks for itself.....................and all that is, is giving benifit of the doubt...................i couldn't care less wether he's right or not, because there is nothing i can do to stop it, if it is a valid prediction. We're doin' whatever we can to "COVER!" as we always do according to whatever the situation is, in any facet of life. Thass all you can do. "COVER!"
i just used it as an example of conjecture.....to see what type of reaction it would get.....and so i could try and judge it's possible validity by said reaction(s)........all part of "covering." You dig?

If you look at what's happening in Egypt.....it's directly related to Wall St. and speculators running frickin' amock....Again. That same thing can happen here. Its GREED Bro. Greed is always an evil perpetuator of human suffering. Check it out. ;)
