It's Going To Get Really "Bad After The Next Election
In a riveting interview on CNBC, legendary investor Jim Rogers warned Americans to prepare for "Financial Armageddon," saying he fully expects the economy to implode after the U.S. election.
Rogers, who for years has been an outspoken critic of the Feds policies of "Quantitative Easing," says the world is "drowning in too much debt." He put the blame squarely on U.S. and European governments for abusing their "license to print money."

"[They] need to stop spending money they don't have," Rogers said. "The solution to too much debt is not more debt... What would make me very excited is if a few people [in the government] went bankrupt..." Rogers added. Read More...

What we do know is that a financial collapse is coming at some
point. Over the past 40 years, the total amount of all debt in
the United States has grown from about 2 trillion dollars to nearly 55
trillion dollars. That is a recipe for financial armageddon, and
it is inevitable that this gigantic bubble of debt is going to burst at
some point. Read

I get dozens of these articles coming across my Google reader every day, raising these same questions. I believe the question isn't is there going to be hard economic times ahead, the question is have you protected your wealth by investing in Gold and Silver. Now again, I'm not a financial advisers, but my personal opinion is that the best way to hedge against these hard financial times is by owning physical gold and silver. Gold and Silver have survived the test of times, unlike fiat currencies, which have always eventually failed.

Gold will extend a bull run as emerging-market central banks and investors accumulate the metal to protect against weakening currencies, according to Coutts & Co., the private-banking division of Royal Bank of Scotland Plc.
