Читать книгу Building Wealth with Silver - Thomas Herold - Страница 7

The global economy is a mess. I really don’t have to tell you that. Some people actually want us to believe that the recession is over. They are either joking or really have no idea what they are talking about.

The rumors of recession having actually ended may, in fact, be mere propaganda designed to keep this leaky balloon called our economy from releasing too much hot air too soon.

Don't get me wrong. The movers and shakers in this world have good reason to slow down or trying to prevent the balloon from bursting. An overblown dollar that pops too quickly can spell disaster for everyone, not just the movers and shakers.

If you own a business, especially in retail, you know that the recession is actually getting worse. You know your costs and your likely margins. You know that your competitors are scrambling just as much as you are. You know your customers.

There simply is not a lot of spending going on at any level. Multiply that by an entire nation, an entire global economy, and it spells real problems that cannot simply be smiled away by politicians and the talking heads on the six o'clock evening news.

On a personal level, it means that your financial security is in peril due to the changes – often catastrophic – that are rippling down from the world at large. Prepared or not, change is about to happen to everyone – big time.
