www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Buying precious metals is only part of the battle. Where do you store them? What's safe and what isn't? We attempt to answer these questions and more. Most importantly, we discuss another unknown and untried option, where you'll have 24/7 access to your cache. In many places it's free as well. Your metals will be under lock and key and defended by constant video and human security. Of course there are downsides, but there are with any storage option, so ultimately you should choose several of them to maximize the protection of diversification.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents After Turkey Day, it was time for a Monday Rant with Ranting Andy Hoffman. Looks like all hell is getting ready to breakout soon. Greece, going from hopeless to impossible. Same with the rest of Europe. Being prepared is your only defense. And while you certainly can't find any security in a world gone mad, you can find internal security and know that this like all financial cycles in life is temporary. Of that much we can assure you. So protect yourself, succeed and thrive whenever and wherever you can and get ready for the coming prosperity. It may be a while, but when it arrives you'll know it was well worth the wait.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Raia King was always involved in the creative pursuits. Her family consisted of artists and performers. Unfortunately, creatives are programmed from a young age that business people are greedy and don't produce anything of value. This attitude leaves many artists working at jobs outside their craft and longing to make it. Raia works with these people to help them build their personal brand and to maximize the value that they provide to their markets, so that they can monetize their skills. This frees them to pursue their passion and their dreams. What could be more satisfying than that?

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Mickey Fulp is a keen follower of the energy extraction revolution and has been keeping attention focused on the hydro-fracking revolution. New technologies are developing at a break-neck pace and he expects many of the environmental concerns to fade by the wayside. Modern man needs energy and cannot carry on his life without. As nations that were minor consumers develop (China, India, etc.) the demand escalates and it forces many governments to overlook environmental concerns. Energy projects that are in development now have gone up greatly in price. However, the game goes and investments get made in the hopes of expanding production.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Dan Collins is our man on the street in Shanghai China. While there's much controversey over the Chinese economy, Dan sees things as improving and more Chinese are being lifted out of poverty. Yacht sales in China have increase 700% in the past year, probably from 1 to 7, but luxury goods purchases in China now account for 25% of global demand. And this doesn't include Chinese tourists going overseas, picking up that Louis Vuitton bag for a song. The wealth shift from West to East continues unabated.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents We examine the demise of Hostess Brands, makers of the Twinkie, and what it means to your ability to easily obtain and consume chemical laden junk food. This triumph of American unionism means that 18,500 people are out of work, just to prove a point. But have no fear, the process of creative destruction is well at work. Twinkie and Wonder Break will be picked from the bankrupt corporate carcass and sold off to a non-union, well capitalized company. The result will be a non-union Twinkie that is ready to compete in the International Junk Food Arena.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Ron Hera of HeraResearch.com believes that the financial repression of zero percent interest rates, rising inflation and  anti-freedom actions being taken by the government, will only make the debt problem far worse than it is currently. Socialism is guaranteed to fail over the long haul and often over the short term as well. Unfortunately the average member of the middle class does not have the knowledge or the training to understand what's happening to them. Therefore, the noose keeps tightening and the middle class is driven more and more into extinction. Eventually, the country winds up as a workers paradise, where none of the workers have jobs.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Our old friend Nick Santiago of InTheMoneyStocks.com is first and foremost a contrarian. If you're buying, he's selling and if you're selling, he's buying. He called Apple a sell at $700 (it peaked at $710) and now he believes it's a buy at $525. Contrarian investing requires a healthy dose of skepticism and tight control over emotions. It's hard to make the right decision when everyone else is telling you you're wrong. Nick is also long gold and silver and believes that the greatest bull market in history is about to resume it's amazing upward trajectory.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents John Rubino of www.DollarCollapse.com is a leading thinker in the blogosphere. From the time he wrote his book with James Turk,  The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit From It, he has been ahead of the curve. Now he sees a trend of the states rejecting federal intervention and meddling in their affairs. In the recent election Colorado and Washington both legalized marijuana. Kansas and Missouri both banned Obamacare mandated health insurance exchanges. Look for these defiant acts to continue and to increase. Perhaps unlimited government at the federal level is meeting its match at the state capitals. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals market

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Belinda Mays had a problem. The Great Recession hit and her career in commercial real estate was suddenly over. She needed to find something else to do and fast. Her position was not unlike many of you out there. After a short time period, she got over her grief and anger; she did a personal inventory and discovered a number of personal skills and assets that formed the basis of her business. Thus was born The Success Project, and she's never looked back. We can all learn a great deal from Belinda about following our dreams and our passions.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents In this episode I discussed our new report on the free precious metals storage option. Also, I reviewed the need to prepare and to use common sense when dealing with decisions about whether to stay at home or to evacuate. While the media is totally irresponsible when it comes reporting on potential weather related hazards, they actually do provide enough information so that you can make an informed decision. In this case, we were dealing with an extremely large storm, 80mph winds and a full moon. While our hind sight is 20-20, enough information was provided to the public early on, so that many more people living near water could have evacuated. Building codes in the Northeast never anticipated such a storm, and even if they had, 13 foot storm surges will wipe out anything in its path.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Bill Holter joined us today after writing his MilesFranklin column. In it he explores the Cash-For-Gold craze that has been sweeping the ever poorer Western World. In Greece, Spain and other countries, people are lining up to sell the family jewels. In the US, the justification has been that gold is at record highs and has nowhere to go but down. This is a type of fear/greed argument that one often finds on Wall Street. If you don't buy this worthless stock now, you'll miss out on huge profits and if you don't sell that worthless piece of paper, it's going to crash tomorrow. Invariably the mark, oops we mean client, will make the worst decision possible. And so it goes with those looking to sell their gold for cash, you too can sell your gold for $800 per ounce and they'll gladly take every grain you have.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Chris Duane rejoined us today. We discussed Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. Survival in these trying times comes down to mental attitude. If you don't have a survival mentality going into a disaster, you're probably going to panic and take actions that can minimize your chances getting through it all. Therefore, it is essnetial to prepare and make the survival attitude second nature. We liken it being in a crowded theater and surveying the exits and mapping your escape route, so if fire does break out, while everyone else is panicing and trying to figure out what to, you're already out the exit.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Tyler Gallagher, CEO of our sponsor Regal Assets explains that business keeps getting better. While the economy continues to suffer, more people are awakening to the fact there's nothing that can save fiat currency. The collapse will be global in nature and will require an economic reboot. Those who purchase precious metals now, in addition to preserving wealth, will get a headstart on the new economic paradigm. The need to act has never been greater than now!

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Monty Pelerin and I made a major blunder. We called the election for Romney, in a landslide. What a difference a day makes. Always remember, anytime you think you're sure of something, you're in for a healthy dose of humiliation. Pride, the deadliest of sins. But this experience reaffirmed for me that elections don't have any influence on my internal happiness and they shouldn't on yours either. Always keep your eye on the important things in life, friends, family, health and happiness. That way, the current occupant of the White House won't matter one way or the other.
