			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Lebed warns about a new stimulus plan and the sucker&#8217;s rally in the dollar:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">The crash we saw in the stock market during the past few weeks is <strong>nothing</strong> compared to the crash we are about to see in the <strong>Dollar</strong>.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Unfortunately, everybody in the government and media is too focused on current problems&#8230; they don&#8217;t have the <strong>foresight</strong> to see what problems are about to come next.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Everybody panicked and sold their stocks&#8230; and now they are <strong>hoarding </strong>Dollars. They escaped a <strong>hurricane</strong> but are now in the path of a <strong>tornado</strong>.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">The hoarding of Dollars has created a <strong>temporarily</strong> strong Dollar&#8230; which is giving cover for <strong>Bernanke</strong> and <strong>Paulson</strong> to create as many Dollars as they want out of thin air to <strong>inflate</strong> the marketplace with liquidity.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">If a publicly traded company was diluting their stock at the same rate as <strong>Bernanke</strong> and <strong>Paulson</strong> are diluting the <strong>Dollar</strong>&#8230; the stock would be trading for <strong>subpenny</strong>.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">If your doctor was <strong>diluting</strong> your medicine or your farmer was <strong>diluting</strong> your milk, you would be <strong>outraged</strong>&#8230; wouldn&#8217;t you?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Just because we haven&#8217;t seen a <strong>run on the Dollar</strong> up until now, doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t coming. It is coming&#8230; and it will happen very soon.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Most Americans don&#8217;t think it is possible for the Dollar to <strong>collapse</strong>. Some Americans think Dollars are still backed by <strong>Gold</strong>. It is this false trust and confidence that is keeping the Dollar propped up for now.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">This trust will quickly evaporate. How could you trust a currency when the treasury secretary of the country is injecting $10 billion of this newly printed money into <strong>Goldman Sachs</strong>, his former company?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Now the Democrats in Congress want a new $150 billion <strong>stimulus</strong> plan. I told you before the first one was passed that it would be a <strong>disaster</strong>&#8230; and send prices of food and fuel through the roof. We had $5 a gallon gas by the time the checks arrived.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">A stimulus is a <strong>direct injection of inflation</strong>&#8230; where you don&#8217;t have to wait to feel the effects. The $700 billion <strong>bailout </strong>will take a few months to work its way through the system&#8230; but combined with a stimulus we could see a <strong>perfect storm</strong>.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">I profiled nine <strong>Gold</strong> and <strong>Silver</strong> companies as <strong>stocks to watch</strong> on Saturday, the most new stocks to watch I ever announced in one day. I gave <strong>DROOY</strong> a speculative rating of 1, my highest level of confidence. </span><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"><strong>DROOY</strong> has been in business since 1895.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">If you look at its long-term chart, back in 1979-1981&#8230; <strong>DROOY</strong> made a run from $15 to over $500 in less than two years. Another run like this for <strong>DROOY</strong> and several other of my new stocks to watch&#8230; is not only possible, but likely&#8230; if <strong>Gold</strong> prices skyrocket like I expect.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;">Hopefully those who doubted me in 2005 when I said to get out of <strong>Real Estate</strong>, will trust me now when I say to get out of the <strong>Dollar</strong>. </span><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Commodities</strong> will be the new hot asset class to invest in&#8230; and <strong>Gold</strong> will lead the way.</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Lebed, a stock promoter ,market genius, and Ron Paul supporter commented on Bernanke and Paulson&#8217;s $700 billion bailout in a recent email (subscribe <a title="lebed.biz" href="http://lebed.biz/" target="_blank">here</a>).  Lebed has consistently heralded his distaste for Bernanke, Paulson, and the current financial system (of monetization of debt and deficit financing) of this country.  Since I wholeheartedly agree with Lebed on the subject, I simply quote his email:</p>
<blockquote><p>It is amazing how Bernanke and Paulson were able to scam America into believing the $700 billion in &#8220;illiquid&#8221; mortgage-backed securities they are about to purchase, will somehow be resold in the future to recoup the money or potentially even make a profit.</p>
<p>If a homeowner stops paying their $400,000 mortgage, instead of the bank foreclosing on the home&#8230; they will simply sell the mortgage to the government. A year later, the government will call the borrower and offer to reduce the mortgage to only $200,000 and refinance it at a 30-year fixed rate&#8230; allowing them to stay in the home.</p>
<p>If all these borrowers pay their new reduced mortgages, it is theoretically possible the government could recoup $350 billion of the $700 billion over the next 30 years.</p>
<p>What these Congressmen are too stupid to realize is&#8230; the millions of responsible Americans who are paying their mortgages on time&#8230; will realize they can get their mortgages cut in half too if they only stop paying. Therefore, the $700 billion in bad mortgages will quickly multiply to as much as $3 trillion.</p>
<p>At this point&#8230; everybody will rush to max out their credit cards and not pay any of that money back&#8230; which will add another $1 trillion. Of course, nobody will pay back their student loans either.</p>
<p>So while the intention of this bailout was to get credit flowing again, it will have the complete opposite effect&#8230; and destroy what is left of the credit market.</p></blockquote>
<p>The dow dropping another 600 points today is a painful reminder that Ron Paul was in fact correct about the consequences of our monetary policy.</p>
