General Strategic Considerations for Profit and Protection
Thus Deepcaster recommends the following strategies for profit and protection in our Interventional Universe.
1) Locate one’s non-speculative capital primarily in Tangible Assets which are in great and relatively inelastic demand and in
2) The Consumer Staples and basic Agricultural Sectors
3)In Precious Monetary Metals (e.g. Gold and Silver) but only near the interim bottoms of Cartel-generated takedowns.
But the timing and form of metals investment selected here are key.
For additional details on this approach to investing in Precious Metals and Strategic Commodities, see Deepcaster’s 12/23/07 Alert entitled “A Strategy for Profiting From Cartel Intervention in Gold, Silver, Crude & Other Tangible Assets Markets” in the ‘Alerts Cache’ at http://www.deepcaster.com.
In the long run, Deepcaster believes one can find no better “Safe Haven” than in the Precious Monetary Metals, Gold and Silver, as well as in Strategic Commodities.
BUT we must reiterate one important caveat regarding finding a [b]“Safe Haven” in Precious Monetary Metals: in the short run, they are clearly subject to the considerable price manipulation by The Cartel of Central Bankers, as we have seen.
[/b]
The harsh results of these repeated Brutal Interventions is to damage even more those Hard Assets investors who have sought a Safe Haven in the traditional Safe Haven Assets, Gold and Silver.
And the message from the Fed-led Cartel is once again is that you will find your best “Safe Haven” in Treasury Securities and Fiat Currencies.

Moreover, Cartel Interventions, as we explained recently, create, in effect, an actual and potential massive transfer of wealth from holders of Tangible Assets such as Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, and Real Estate by a simple mechanism which we call the 1920s and 1930s “Syndrome.”
In the 1920s the Fed allowed easy money and easy credit to balloon paper and tangible assets prices. In the 1930s they allowed deflation to take place which resulted, as it is today, in increasing foreclosures on Real Assets. Thus the Fed-led Cartel and its favored friends can pick up real assets as fire sale prices as we detail in our recent Alert of 8/31/08 entitled
“A Nasty Twist to The Cartel End Game.”
Conclusion
The Starting Point for Protection and Profit is to determine how much of one’s investable assets one wishes to have in a Core Position of Gold, Silver and other Tangible Assets and then to determine the specific investment form in which to hold them. This Core Position is truly a long-term position and should represent a significant portion of one’s investable assets (Deepcaster recommends about 50%).
Regarding deployment of the balance of assets devoted to one’s Tangible Assets Portfolio, we recommend The Strategy outlined above.
Since the cornerstone of The Cartel’s Power lies in maintaining the legitimacy of their Fiat Currencies and Treasury Securities, the last thing they want is to have Gold, Silver and Tangible Assets held by investors as Measures and Stores of Value.
In obtaining, and adding to, one’s own Core Position near the bottom of Cartel-induced Takedowns, one not only can help bolster one’s Core Assets for the future, but also can help defeat the Cartel’s nefarious ‘End Game’ initiative.
Essential to this Strategy, of course, is paying close attention to the Interventionals - - such attention has facilitated Deepcaster’s profitable recommendations displayed at http://www.deepcaster.com. A dramatic side benefit of this strategy is that it helps insulate one against vicious Cartel Takedowns such as the ones of March 18-20, 2008, early June, and early September, 2008.
If this aforementioned Strategy is employed effectively, it can result both in an increasing Core Position in Gold and Silver, and in considerable profit along the way.
Strategic Considerations for Investing in Precious Metals & Strategic Commodities
Note that a major premise of the following Strategy is that one can certainly remain a Hard Assets Partisan while at the same time insulating oneself from and, indeed, profiting from future Cartel Takedowns. The following points provide an outline of The Strategy (particularly as applied to the Gold and Silver Markets) and are designed to help avoid such unpleasantness, or even possible financial ruin, in the future, as well as to profit along the way:
1) Recognize that The Cartel is still potent, as difficult as that may be psychologically for Deepcaster and other Hard Asset Partisans to acknowledge.
The Cartel is still the Biggest Player in many markets and, if the timing and market context are propitious, the Biggest Player makes Market Price.[/b]
In addition, The Cartel has the advantage of de facto controlling the structure and regulation of various marketplaces and that is a tremendous advantage ; just as the Hunt Brothers years ago discovered much to their dismay and misfortune, when they tried to corner the Silver Market.
2) Accumulate Hard Assets near the Interim Bottoms of Cartel- induced Takedowns.
3) In order to know when one is near the bottom of a Cartel-generated takedown, it is essential to take account of the Interventionals as well as the Technicals and Fundamentals. For example, regarding Gold & Silver, near such Interim Bottoms, accumulate a combination of the Physical Commodity (Deepcaster prefers “low premium to melt” bullion coins) and, in certain circumstances, well-managed Juniors with large reserves. (Deepcaster provides a list of such Junior Candidates in our December 20, 2007 Alert “A Strategy for Profiting from Cartel Intervention” available in the Alerts Cache at http://www.deepcaster.com.) The “Physical” and selected “Juniors” are for holding for the very long-term as a Core Position. Caveat: the Juniors are also subject to considerable price manipulation.
4) Then, to the extent one wishes to speculate on the next “long” move, one should buy the major producers or long-term Call Options on them. These latter positions are for ultimate liquidation at the next Interim Top and are not for holding for the long-term.
5) Indeed, there will be a time when The Cartel price capping is ineffective and Gold & Silver make record moves upward.
The benefit of this Strategy is that one will likely be long in one’s speculative positions when this happens.
6) Near the next Interim Top, liquidate the long options and majors. Again, in order to know when we are close to the next Interim Top, it is essential to monitor the Interventionals, as well as Fundamentals and Technicals.
7) At that Top, sell short or buy puts on Majors. We re-emphasize the Majors as preferred vehicles for trading positions because such positions are more liquid and tend to be quite responsive to Cartel moves.
At the next Interim Bottom, cover your shorts and liquidate your puts and go long again to begin the process all over again. We emphasize that it is essential to consider the Interventionals as well as the Fundamentals and Technicals in order to determine the approximate Interim Tops and Bottoms.
9) Finally, Hard Assets Partisans have the opportunity to become involved in Political Action to diminish the power of the Central Banker Cartel. It is truly outrageous that the average unsuspecting citizen, and prospective retiree, can and does put his hard won assets in Tangible Assets only to have those assets effectively de-valued or even appropriated, via Cartel Takedowns. This is extremely injurious to many average citizens in many countries who are saving for the rainy day or retirement and have their retirement and/or reserves effectively taken from them. In order to help prevent this and similar outrages, we recommend taking three steps:
a) Become involved in the movement to abolish the U.S.
[/b]
Federal Reserve (a private for-profit Cartel of International Banks) as Deepcaster, Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, and legendary investor Jim Rogers, all have advocated.
b) Join the Gold AntiTrust Action Committee which works to eliminate the manipulation of the Gold and Silver markets (http://www.gata.org). GATA is a non-profit organization which makes a great contribution by gathering evidence regarding the suppression of prices of Gold, Silver and other commodities.
c) Work to defeat The Cartel ‘End Game.’ Deepcaster has laid out the evidence regarding the Ominous Cartel “End Game.” Clearly The Cartel is sacrificing the U.S. Dollar to prop up favored international financial institutions and to maintain its power. But this sacrifice cannot continue forever.
One key component of the Cartel’s Ominous “End Game” is the planned replacement of the U.S. Dollar with the Amero. This would give even greater de facto power to the international Cartel of Central Bankers. We encourage readers to review the evidence for the entire multifaceted “End Game” Program in the following: Deepcaster’s Alert of 8/13/06 “Massive Financial Geopolitical Scheme Not Reported by Big Media” and Deepcaster’s June, 2007 Letter “Profiting From the Push to Denationalize Currencies and Deconstruct Nations” and 8/31/08 Alert “A Nasty Twist to The Cartel End Game- - all available at http://www.deepcaster.com. Fortunately there is even a resolution in the U.S. Congress that would stop this “End Game” attempt (H.Res.40, Goode, R-VA).
