Those are the words of Joseph S. Holleman, author of "The Prosperity Clock" book series. He goes on to say that: "The storm clouds gathering overhead now are unmistakable. There is no doubt in my mind, particularly after witnessing in real time how the Prosperity Clock model perfectly timed the 2007 market panic and recession, that the gale force winds of this next major Crisis period are about to hit us. In the "Prosperity Clock" book series, and the bonus materials that I make available to you, I put everything on the table...all my knowledge gathered over the last 30 plus years, to help you get through the difficult days ahead." Of course you COULD be one of those "fortunate few" IF you know what to expect and take the necessary steps to prepare now. If you do you could potentially save the life and livelihood of both yourself and anyone else that you care about. For that matter, you might even save their lives. It really depends on YOU and the choices YOU make after reading this book.

Download or read book Cashing It In written by Ethan Pope and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the chances that a totally cashless society will exist in our lifetime? Ethan Pope believes it is possible. With the many implications that this could have on daily life and commerce, it is imperative for Christians to be prepared. The world of finances has changed dramatically over the past decade, with everything from online banking and bill payment to the quick availability of online goods. Even many churches and non-profit organizations offer an auto-withdrawal option for planned giving. Large companies are now placing RFID (radio frequency identification) tags on products for market research. In a very real sense, we sacrifice personal privacy for convenience. Pope explores such issues as what the Bible may indicate about the end times and a cashless society, and gives balanced and cogent direction for Christians who desire to be wise stewards of their resources.

Download or read book Global Asset Allocation written by MR Mebane T Faber and published by Mebane Faber. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all of our focus on assets - and how much and when to allocate them - are we missing the bigger picture? Our book begins by reviewing the historical performance record of popular assets like stocks, bonds, and cash. We look at the impact inflation has on our money. We then start to examine how diversification through combining assets, in this case a simple stock and bond mix, works to mitigate the extreme drawdowns of risky asset classes. But we go beyond a limited stock/bond portfolio to consider a more global allocation that also takes into account real assets. We track 13 assets and their returns since 1973, with particular attention to a number of well-known portfolios, like Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio, the Endowment portfolio, Warren Buffett's suggestion, and others. And what we find is that, with a few notable exceptions, many of the allocations have similar exposures. And yet, while we are all busy paying close attention to our portfolio's particular allocation of assets, the greatest impact on our portfolios may be something we fail to notice altogether...
