The action in the markets in recent days should confirm to others what many have stated for years … markets are manipulated.

For those who participate in this manipulation I’m sure they would prefer to use the phrase of managing the markets for the public good. In fact, it was shortly after the market crash in 1987 that the PPT was created for just this very reason. What is interesting though, is that even our elected representatives are not privy to their meetings and actions.

When one really takes the time to investigate how markets are currently set up and operated, they immediately begin to see that what we have always thought of as “free markets” is in reality markets that are monitored and manipulated almost on a daily basis.

Who really are the beneficiaries of this new and improved system of market management? I can say with confidence it is NOT the average investor who is looking for ways to maintain and/or increase their wealth. In reality the benefit goes to those who are the managers as one would expect to be the case.

When the market managers combine their efforts with the powers granted to the FED, the PPT, the MSM, and other groups of influence, they can and do decide through their actions which direction the markets will trend. They have unlimited financial resources to do this along with having the government sanctioned authority to do this.

As I have stated many times in the past, you are playing the financial game on their field, with their rules … the odds of winning are not in your favor … could this be the reason why the vast majority of investors who are not part of the management team eventually lose and witness their accumulated wealth decline year after year in “real terms”.

How many times have we witnessed the corruption that takes place in these markets - how many investors lost with Enron or Global Crossing in addition to other companies that had accountants “cooking the books”. How many companies and investors have been destroyed due to naked short selling of their shares - never having that information until it was to late to recover. How many investors have 401k’s that are “professionally managed” yet are witnessing their accounts declining in real value year after year … the investor has losses but the mangers make their fees regardless. How many times have we all seen the main stream media pump up a stock only later to find out that while this was being done the insiders were selling.

This entire system, from the broker who “churns your account” to those who make economic policy decisions, is full of corruption and is designed to transfer wealth from the average investors to those who manage and control. Anyone today who still believes that here in America we still have “free markets” is not paying attention to reality.

Evidence is everywhere if one simply takes the time to look for it. In fact the evidence is so obvious at times that even a blind man can see it taking place.

Do not from this point forward allow yourself to be manipulated any longer. Take the time needed to understand the big picture as to how our economy and markets are manipulated, and then take the time to understand what steps you can take to protect and maintain your wealth. If you are determined to be a player in their game then you must understand how the game is played. You need to be able to see through their lies and deceptions and take the investment route that you know will provide you with positive results. Simply put, you need to educate yourself to the degree that you can anticipate what they will do next, take a position with confidence, monitor that position, and then have the patience to wait for the payoff.

If you own physical precious metals or pm mining stocks then you are where you need to be at this point in time. This long term bull market is still very young and in its early stages of development. We have as of yet only witnessed Primary Waves I and II. The markets are as of now in the very early stages of Primary Wave III. Primary Wave III advances typically will result in the greatest percentage gains during a bull market cycle. You do not want to be on the sidelines when Primary Wave III begins to develop.

Learn now to control your fear and greed … do not allow others to convince you that your decision to own physicals and shares is wrong … gain the knowledge you need to make your own independent decisions and then have the confidence that your decision is correct. Take back total control over your financial destiny.
