With all the crazy lingo that gets thrown around the net these days, a terminology that keeps popping up isthe word “Preppers”
While preppers seem to be wacky, crazy country folk with strange ideas and phobias….think again. And dont laugh at them. I wont go into the reasons now….
Preppers are just small groups of like minded people who are Getting Ready to survive in Disaster Situations
The Preppers do not rely on US Government in disaster situations. A growing number of Americans are doing everything they can to get ready if disaster strikes. Whether it’s a natural disaster like an earthquake or hurricane or a conflict between the government and the American people, these guys are making sure they don’t have to rely on anyone in a catastrophic situation. They call themselves “preppers” and many are not happy with the direction the United States is heading in. Many believe President Obama is taking away their liberties and giving the federal government too much control. The group has organizations in almost every state in the country and spans gender, age and socioeconomic class.
The video below explains things bit more in detail. It is very interesting.
Forecast For Tomorrow has 2 more hits again in 2010. Back in February 2010 we issued our first newsletter for the year giving warning to our members that there were many things on our radar. Possibilities for major events to occur. The first one was very interesting!!! We were picking up many geothermal, and geographic trends late in 2009 and we saw the devastated Haiti earthquake in January. We saw this as being the warning sign for something much bigger. Not several weeks later the news reported a MAJOR EARTHQUAKE occurred in Chile, South America. The excerpt from our NEWSLETTER is below.
A few weeks after we published our newsletter this was reported. Biggest Earthquake Ever recorded!!!!
Also in our February issue, we were warning of bigger spikes in oil and the price of gas. (newsletter insert below) It seems that now in April we are getting a clear indication that this is starting to play out, as this week there are reports of the first inkling of this happening. We did see these trends develop, however we are surprised to see these events develop as quickly as they have. Not only will this have an effect on consumers, but businesses and the economy also. The excerpt from our newsletter is below.
It is very interesting to see these trends and forecasts coming into fruition. Is it a sign of the times? well that question in itself is a very complex thing to answer, but one can say 2010…so far sure has been a crazy year!
There seems to be news circulating today that the fed wish to hold an urgent meeting next week April 5th. VERY INTERESTING!!
You can read the message from their website below.
It is anticipated that a closed meeting of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, April 5, 2010, will be held under expedited procedures, as set forth in section 26lb.7 of the Board’s Rules Regarding Public Observation of Meetings, at the Board’s offices at 20th Street and C Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. The following items of official Board business are tentatively scheduled to be considered at that meeting.
Meeting date: April 5, 2010
To Be Discussed: Review and determination by the Board of Governors of the advance and discount rates to be charged by Federal Reserve Banks.
So what’s this about. hhhhhhmmmmm ? I sit here pondering We never got this sort of notice before!
I guess if this is their idea of a April fools joke, nobody will be laughing. Assuming this isn’t some sort of April Fool’s joke by Bernanke and pals this may be a warning of a major sea change coming. For me this is interesting….but we are left waiting in suspense I guess until next week.
More evil schemes planned, or will the fed realise that they have come to the end of their rope. I doubt the latter!!! Time will tell ladies and gentlemen.
“Greatest april fools ever !” comes a stern male voices from the round table. Yes, as they spring round the table, enticing themselves in fine wine and caviar. These guys have just pulled the greatest April fools joke ever on us. This one is a beauty!!! Planned out meticulously and tricked us all. But are we laughing!!! I DONT THINK SO!!!
Have a look at the chart below. We have just been witness to one of the biggest rallies on the stockmarket in US history. But how did this occur. Was this really just the greatest april fools joke ever ???
To see a government just print money off, save failing banks, and throw what they had left over into the global markets is one of the greatest april fools joke ever, but just in slow motion. Can the market go higher? Well in my humble opinion….how long is a piece of string? meaning there seems to be no limit to how much money just gets pumped in through the markets each week. Have a look at the chart below.
Based on data going back 90 years, whenever the 12-month rate of change (ROC) in the Dow Jones Industrials Average has exceeded 40 percent, it has generally signaled trouble ahead.
In three cases, a 12-month ROC above that level has only marked a short-term pause, after which the market traded higher.
But on 11 other occasions, similarly rapid advances have been followed by notable corrections, including the collapses that followed the 1929 and dot-com era peaks, as well as the 1987 crash.
Given those odds, people very bullish about the markets might stop to think to themselves they also have been suckered into the greatest april fools joke ever. Both the bulls and bears are a little nervous here and sometimes that can be the warning sign for a bigger event to come about. With that being said, there sure is weird feeling in the air.
