While there are many people finding themselves more fearful than ever, there are others who are more excited than ever. Here’s why…
- The rules of safety and courage have changed. Since the industrial revolution, employee-ism has surged. During this time, getting a job to work for somebody else was the safe thing to do. On the other side of the coin the risky, courageous act of working for oneself is what brings riches. As a result, each person has been faced with a choice to pursue either safety or riches. Part of what made employee-ism the safe bet for an individual is the stability of companies as well as what has become the largest store of non-real estate wealth in our country: holdings in the stock market. This year we have seen the rules of the game permanently changed. Our financial system is crashing, and trustworthiness has evaporated from corporate America and the financial services industry. Now working for yourself is no longer the courageous thing to do; it’s the safe thing to do.
- Technology has brought immense power to everybody. Personal computers and the internet are now available to just about everyone. This has made some very expensive things become cheap or free. This has made it possible to do things that were previously impossible. There is no longer a need for every transaction to take place in a physical location. Needs and desires are able to be fulfilled online. In many circumstances, the large corporation cannot compete with the one-man shop. Today a person can start and run several businesses for little or no money. Taking something and creating or increasing its value has never been more accessible.
- Arbitrage has never been (more…)
Bail yourself out with an Unlimited® 401k October 21, 2008

With trillions of dollars going to bailing out failing corporations, who’s going to save you?
Take a look around… you’ll probably have to save yourself. Rollover your IRA or 401k funds into an unrestricted account to open a world of possibilities without triggering any taxes. Here are some ideas…
Invest in gold silver, and other precious metals. The last 35 years is just a tiny blip in human history. The rest of the time humans have been walking this earth, gold has been used as money. We came off the gold standard in 1971 and seem to have forgotten that gold will always be valuable while paper will not. Consider buying gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals to store the value of your wealth.
Cash Flow Real Estate. With the real estate market in turmoil, find a bargain. Instead of hoping for appreciation, look for properties that provide a return-on-investment of at least 10% based on rental income, and own it forever.
Raw Land. Buy land in areas that will always have high demand. As energy prices rise, land near dowtown areas of major cities should have a bright future as urban sprawl reverses.
Foreign Currency. If you are petrified of investing, make the safest bet and keep your money in a foreign bank account in a stable currency. Try Canada or Switzerland.
Foreign Stock Markets. Many countries in Asia and South America have booming stock markets. Skip the U.S. middleman and invest directly with a broker in one of these foreign countries.
Private Companies. You can lend money to small businesses. If you find a business that is looking for investors, you may even be able to buy stock in their business. Sometimes evaluating a small, local business is much easier than a large publicly traded one.
Start your own business. You can use up to $50,000 of your retirement funds to start your own business.
Nabers Group helps individuals enter a world of never ending possibilities every day using Self Directed IRA and Solo 401k plans. Don’t let your personal economy be dragged down with the crashing banks and financial service companies. Be independent and take your finances into your own hands.

Turn Doom & Gloom into Personal Boom October 20, 2008

There are 3 economies to pay attention to:
- Your Personal Economy. This is the one that really matters. The life you will share with your family and friends will be directly impacted by your finances.
- The People’s Economy. This is the wealth of communities of people. You could look at it in terms of the American public as a whole or separated into demographic or geographic categories.
- The Financial Institutions’ Economy. This is the wealth of the people who own banks and financial services companies.
Right now, the financial institutions’ economy is doing quite poorly as a result of foolish decisions. Financial services companies created and bought debt that was not repayable. They packaged investment products in a way so complex not even Warren Buffet could understand them. The Fed has decided to defer and worsen the consequences of their inflationary monetary policy… and now “the economy” is crumbling before our eyes… but which economy is it?
Although often not fulfilled, there is clear potential for your personal economy to be completely separate from the financial institutions’ economy. Your wealth can (more…)
World Wealth Report shows business ownership is the leading cause of wealth October 19, 2008

Suggested reading: World Wealth Report
This annual report examines the behavior of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) – those with over $1 million in investable assets. I believe this report is skewed a bit because it is based on survey data of Merrill Lynch clients around the world. Even so, it offers interesting information.
Among the most substantial findings is that business ownership is estimated to be the leading source of wealth among HNWIs globally. This is contained in the 2006 WWR.
