Hi friends,
Welcome to your December 2020 newsletter.
Firstly let me acknowledge what a tough year it has been for many, many people.
Small business owners in particular, have been dealt a rough hand in 2020. For 13 years from stage I have acknowledged the small business owner as the true royalty of this nation. They employ by far the majority of people, provide most of the goods and services, take all the risk, and inspire me the most.
To you, I acknowledge your perseverance, and I encourage everyone reading this to support the small businesses who inspire you the most, now more than ever. It’s a form of tithing.
I buy more, support more and give more to small businesses that I love, in my local area.
In the tough times, I’m always mindful of James Allen’s masterful line in the book As A Man Thinketh, where he says, ‘Circumstances don’t make the man, they reveal him to himself’.
Secondly I’d like to acknowledge everyone who took the time to complete our 3 question survey. Thank you!
We were swamped by over 300 thoughtful responses which I am still reading through. If you missed it and would still like the opportunity to contribute, click this link.
Many of you also downloaded Chris Bellesini’s new property book “Why Many Agents Lie And How To Keep Them Honest”. It’s a revealing read and you can grab a free copy as our Book of the Month below.
Now, some good news, some not so good news. Firstly the good.
‘People power’ has been successful in getting the Australian Government to drop it’s proposed new law to make it illegal to buy anything over $10,000 in Australia, in cash.
From there it would have been a slippery slope, down to $5,000, then $1,000, then eliminating cash altogether, which appears to be their agenda.
If you value life and freedom, consider using cash, cutting up or minimising your credit cards, and perhaps even move your business away from a big 4 bank to a local credit union, for a start.
Now the not so good news.
On November 30, 2020, the Australian Senate has failed to support senator Malcolm Robert’s Banking Amendment (Deposits) Bill 2020.
If adopted, it would have removed all doubt over whether bank regulator APRA could ‘bail-in’ the bank deposits and savings of everyday Australians to prop up a failing bank.
By not doing so, they have still, effectively, removed all doubt that that’s exactly what they intend to do! Don’t say you haven’t been warned. (European authorities confiscated 47.5 per cent of deposits in two major banks in Cyprus in 2013).
Gold and Silver are God’s money and outside the banking system.
Cryptocurrencies are the People’s money, also outside the banking system.
See our Gift of the Month below for our final Live Gold & Silver Market Update and Outlook For 2021.
Cannibas Update: At the start of 2018 I gave my top financial picks for that year. One of them was ‘Pot Stocks’.
As I don’t give financial advice, I didn’t say much more on that, but in an important news update, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in a historic decision just removed cannibas from the global narcotic drugs list.
It should never have been on there in the first place, but regardless, this is big news and paves the way forward in the evolution of the global medicinal cannabis industry.
Probably too late to make the big money in Pot Stocks now, but just another example of how you must ‘anticipate wealth’ to get rich.
Speaking of which…
Bitcoin just hit ALL-TIME highs recently. From it’s lows of US $3,800 in March to finishing somewhere around US $19,900, makes this the #1 investment class of 2020.
With the once-every-4-year Bitcoin ‘halving’ event which occurred in April this year, many suggest this price action was predictable. Which is exactly what we have been saying. Still, if the following ‘Super-Cycle’ repeats itself like it has done in the past, this ride is just getting started.
Finally, I’d like to give you a chance to ‘get educated now’ on all this year’s top webinars and strategies below which could make a perfect Christmas present to yourself over the break to get up to speed.
Enjoy this month’s newsletter and I’ll see you in the new year.
To Your Success.
