Life in the Great Recession

We are in the midst of the most brutal recession -- in terms of length, breadth, and depth -- since the Great Depression of 1929-33.

How has this effected the psyche of the American people? According to a recent Pew Research survey, the Great Recession has resulted in the downsizing of the American Dream: widespread anxiety over retirement goals and children’s economic future; a new, frugal approach towards spending and borrowing money; and the belief that it may take several years for the value of homes and personal finances to rebound to pre-recession levels.

Additionally, the crash of both the pre-recession housing and stock markets has drained the wealth of the average American household by about 20 percent. According to government data, this is the most severe decline in the entire post-World War II era.

Will Social Security be around when you retire? There is no guarantee of that. Social Security will be paying out more this year than it receives in payroll taxes. This marks only the second time that the program will be in the red since its creation during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Will your pension actually be there when you retire? The Baby Boomers have begun to retire. Because of that, we are facing an upcoming pension crisis of an unprecedented magnitude. The crumbling U.S. economy can no longer support the comfortable retirement of tens of millions of elderly Americans.

What is the future of the U.S. Stock Market? Over the next decade, tens of millions of the newly retired will be selling stocks and bonds to get cash to finance their retirements. For the first time in U.S. history, there will be less young people than older people. The work force will shrink in relation to the number of retirees. Who will buy all the stocks and bonds being sold en masse by the retiring Baby Boomers?

Fighting Back against the Great Recession with Monthly Direct Exchange

How can you protect yourself from the uncertainty of Social Security, the possible loss of a hard-earned pension, and a shrinking investment portfolio? By diversification of your current investments. True diversity means including precious metals in your long-term investments -- and Monthly Direct Exchange can help.

Whether you are just starting out on your career, a savvy investor, gearing up for retirement, or enjoying your “golden years” as a retiree, Monthly Direct Exchange will provide the hedge that you need against the current economic downward spiral.

Precious metals -- gold, silver and platinum bullion and bullion coins -- compliment the stocks, bonds and mutual funds in your portfolio. They anchor it against devaluation in this Great Recession. Precious metals give you a sense of security that paper investments simply cannot.

Paper Money vs. Precious Metals

The value of paper money has been in decline for many years. Precious metals, on the other hand, have been steadily increasing in value. Gold, silver and platinum have substance: they are tangible assets that you can hold in your hands.

Build your Nest Egg with Bullion and Bullion Coins

Monthly Direct Exchange will make investing fun and rewarding. You will see your investment grow each and every month as your gold, silver and platinum bullion and bullion coins arrive in the mail. Your precious metals are pre-packaged for easy storage in your home, safe or bank vault. There is nothing complicated about your Monthly Direct Exchange program. It was designed to make investing in precious metals fun and easy.

How does Monthly Direct Exchange work?

The idea behind Monthly Exchange Direct is to put precious metals in your hands each and every month without endless paperwork or other hassles. Plans start with monthly installments worth $150, $250, $500, $1,000 and up. Choose renewable 6- or 12-month plans. Then around the middle of each month, you will receive an insured package that requires your signature. It will not be left at your door or dropped off with your neighbor.

Sit down at your desk and open your package. Pull out your pre-packaged set of bullion and bullion coins. You’ll see a bar code. That’s how we keep track of your investments with us. Leave the bullion and coins in the plastic wrapping. In the future, when you need cash, simply send it back to us and receive a check for its value at the time. It’s as easy as that!

Precious metals are a tangible asset with real substance. A piece of paper is just a piece of paper. But gold, silver, palladium and platinum carry an emotional wallop and a strong sense of history. Hold an old Morgan dollar in your hand. Now close your eyes. Picture yourself in an old saloon in the Wild West of the 1880s. Do your hear the clang of silver on the bar? Can you smell the whiskey?
