  • Here's a man who actually rescued his life savings by acting smart!


    Here are some news from my country, Iceland!

    On monday one of our 3 banks got nationalized, taken over by the government. That has sent shockwaves throughout our financial system, and as a result, the credit rating of Iceland and many companies got downgraded.

    In the past 3 days our currency has CRASHED. 4% on monday, 5% yesterday, and another 4% today. Already the currency (the Icelandic krona) had plummeted since the beginning of the year.

    Today, $1 costs us just over 110 ISK, but 9 months ago $1 cost us only 60 ISK.

    Graph showing the crash of my nations currency in the past 9 months, see the steep curve up in the most recent days:


    In short, our currency is just under half of what it was at the beginning of the year.


    Thank God I had purchased gold for all my savings (which was in ISK), and transferred all my money to G---Money.com... as my savings account was at the bank that almost went under.

    I possibly saved all my lifes savings by taking the decision to buy gold. Imagine that. But at least I saved 55% of my savings.


    You think this can't happen to you? If you would have asked me a year ago if this was possible I would have said absolutely "no".


    Trust your instincts. The financial system is collapsing. GET OUT, GET OUT!
    Want to say "thank you"?
