What's In Store for 2012

There are still lots of brewing calamities that could cause a major financial panic in 2012.  Among them are:

• The failure of one or more of the world’s largest banks
• The outright debt default of one or more significant national governments
• The US government takes further steps toward seizing the assets of private retirement accounts
• A default in delivery by a sizable gold or silver exchange traded fund
• A declaration of force majeure and the inability of the COMEX or London markets to continue operations
• More concrete evidence that the Federal Reserve and other major central banks do not have all the gold reserves that they are reporting as being in their vaults
• A continuing major downturn in the US real estate market
• If governments around the world are uniformly unsuccessful at achieving major spending cuts
• A detailed report of how and where hundreds of millions to billions of customer dollars were effectively stolen in the MF Global Holdings bankruptcy
• Huge inflation of the money supply by major nations

There are more potential catastrophes than these few, but I think it gives you the idea.

If you have you're head in the sand, I would like you to realize that no magic cures for the world’s financial woes have been achieved, and if anything, the troubles are getting worse by the day.  I think you will only feel more comfortable once you have taken the steps to protect your family and assets.
