Q4 Outlook

August 27, 2010

The U.S. economy continues to deteriorate, as evidenced by the latest figures. Within the past couple weeks, we’ve learned that new home sales fell to their lowest level in half a century, and existing home sales aren’t much better. Spending by both consumers and businesses is also slumping, largely due to a sluggish labor market.

These dismal data all contributed to a downward revision in second-quarter gross domestic product, and renewed fears of a double-dip recession. We’ve been warning about another recession, and even the risk of a depression, for months now. But the stock market is still trading on the day-to-day news, rather than reacting to the broader downward economic trend.

On this episode of Money and Markets TV, we do what the traders refuse to do: Look toward the future. But we do not just predict a market downturn; we tell you how to protect yourself from that downturn. Our experts recommend contrarian plays within the U.S., as well as international markets and other asset classes.

The goal for any investor over the next few months must be to protect your money, and our goal is to show you how to do that.

How does one determine the value of one’s investments / assets in terms of the price of gold? With the value of a dollar going all over the charts, is there a formula or algorithm that Weiss Research uses and investors could use to determine what something is really worth in terms of gold price instead of the nominal value of the dollar? Thank you for any response you may have for my question. Arnie McKechnie Davidsonville, MD 8-27-2010

I AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE FINALLY STARTING TO COME OVER TO MY POINT OF VIEW THAT AMERICA IS FINISHED AS A GREAT ECONOMIC POWER, THE WEALTH AND ECONOMIC POWER ARE MOVING TO ASIA, THAT DEFLATION IS HERE TO STAY FOR A LONG AND SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME, FIVE TO TEN YEARS AT LEAST, AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE SHORTING THE GOLD MARKET, THE STOCK MARKET, AND THE OIL MARKET, A DEPRESSION IS ON THE WAY AND WILL BE HERE IN A FEW YEARS LIKE THE 1930′S.

Kevin = do believe you are living the past. We are more likely to have an inflationary depression rather than a deflationary depression. I suspect people will ultimately use the stock market to hedge their dollars. Inflation is caused when governments print money for which nothing was produced to purchase with the money printed. We (the U.S.) has printed 1 trillion point 4 dollars this past year. It “ain’t” hit the system YET, but when it does – watch out.

I have been following Martin Weiss for past 3 yrs and reading his periodical on Money and Markets.com. It presents unbiased view of the economy not only for US but for entire world. His predictions are to the core are 100pc Perfect. Yeah the timing may vary. I am Just wondering why do we have fitch, S&P… ….. There coverage is not limited to Just economy of countries, but even natural resorces and they suggest ways to benefit weather the markets are falling or rising…………. Being in india its really difficult for me to invest as we do have limited options. Just wanna say i am having full faith on him……….

Thanks for your very good comments,they do help a lot.We are indeed in decline mode prompted and precipitaded by the Present Democrat Party regime.What is now needed is honest politicians and not the lying thiefs that are now in power for both parties,once this is accomplised we shall bounce back with a vengance,but voters must realize that we can not go on with debating issues such as entitlements mostly used by non working minorities ilegal immigration and shamefull trade abuses as those that China is engaging in.Lets TAX all the Chinise crap they are sending and go back to manu- facturing good merchandise even if it cost a little more
