If you want to make money in the bear market instead of just hedge to fiat:
STRONG BUY
SPXU
This is a "inverse" ETF of the S&P 500. When the S&P goes up... it goes down and vice versa.
The ETF is leveraged so share value will go 10X when the S&P drops 20% or more.
Last 32.55
I expect a valuation of 200+ by January. When it breaks up it will happen almost instantly.
Its traded on NYSE as "ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500"
I give it a MOON^3 rating.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/8-financ...-imminent.html#1 During one recent interview, Doug Casey stated that we are heading for “a catastrophe of historic proportions”…
“With these stupid governments printing trillions and trillions of new currency units,” says investor Doug Casey, “it’s building up to a catastrophe of historic proportions.”#2 Bill Fleckenstein is warning that U.S. markets could be headed for calamity in the coming months…
Doug Casey, a wildly successful investor who’s the head of the outfit Casey Research, is predicting doom and gloom for the global economy.
“I wouldn’t keep significant capital in banks,” he toldReason magazine Editor-in-Chief Matt Welch. “Most of the banks in the world are bankrupt.”
Noted short seller Bill Fleckenstein, who correctly predicted the financial crisis in 2007, says he is one step closer to opening up a short-focused fund for the first time since 2009. In the meantime, Fleckenstein says the entire market could be heading for calamity in the coming months.#3 Richard Russell believes that the bear market that is coming “will tear apart the current economic system”…
“The market is uniquely crash-prone,” Fleckenstein told CNBC’s “Fast Money” this week. “I think the market is very brittle because of high-frequency trading, ETFs, a lot of momentum investors. I don’t think there’s going to be any painless back door.”
From my standpoint, this is the strangest period that I have gone through since the 1940s. The Industrials are declining faster than the Transports. If this continues, at some point the Industrials will touch the Transports. When that happens, I believe a bear market will be signaled, as both Industrials and Transports accelerate on the downside.#4 Larry Edelson is “100% confident” that a global financial crisis will be triggered “within the next few months”…
I expect a brief period of higher prices which will draw in the amateurish retail public. This brief breather will be followed by an historic bear market that will tear apart the current economic system.
“On October 7, 2015, the first economic supercycle since 1929 will trigger a global financial crisis of epic proportions. It will bring Europe, Japan and the United States to their knees, sending nearly one billion human beings on a roller-coaster ride through hell for the next five years. A ride like no generation has ever seen. I am 100% confident it will hit within the next few months.”#5 John Hussman is warning that market conditions such as we are observing right now have only happened at a few key moments throughout our history…
In any event, this is no time to be on autopilot. Look at the data, and you’ll realize that our present concerns are not hyperbole or exaggeration. We simply have not observed the market conditions we observe today except in a handful of instances in market history, and they have typically ended quite badly (see When You Look Back on This Moment in History and All Their Eggs in Janet’s Basket for a more extended discussion of current conditions). In my view, this is one of the most important moments in a generation to examine all of your risk exposures, the extent to which you believe historical evidence is informative, your tolerance for loss, your comfort or discomfort with missing out on potential rallies even in a wickedly overvalued market, and your true investment horizon.#6 During a recent appearance on CNBC, Marc Faber suggested that U.S. stocks could soon plummet by up to 40 percent…
The U.S. stock market could “easily” drop 20 percent to 40 percent, closely followed contrarian Marc Faber said Wednesday—citing a host of factors including the growing list of companies trading below their 200-day moving average.#7 In a previous article, I noted that Henry Blodget of Business Insider is suggesting that U.S. stocks could soon drop by up to 50 percent…
In recent days, “there were [also] more declining than advancing stocks, and the list of 12-month new lows was very high on Friday,” the publisher of The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“It shows you a lot of stocks are already declining.”
As regular readers know, for the past ~21 months I have been worrying out loud about US stock prices. Specifically, I have suggested that a decline of 30% to 50% would not be a surprise.#8 Egon von Greyerz is even more bearish. He recently told King World Newsthat we are heading for “the most historic wealth destruction ever”…
I haven’t predicted a crash. But I have said clearly that I think stocks will deliver returns that are way below average for the next seven to 10 years. And I certainly won’t be surprised to see stocks crash. So don’t say no one warned you!
Eric, there are now more problem areas in the world, rather than stable situations. No major nation in the West can repay its debts. The same is true for Japan and most of the emerging markets. Europe is a failed experiment for socialism and deficit spending. China is a massive bubble, in terms of its stock markets, property markets and shadow banking system. Japan is also a basket case and the U.S. is the most indebted country in the world and has lived above its means for over 50 years.
So we will see twin $200 trillion debt and $1.5 quadrillion derivatives implosions. That will lead to the most historic wealth destruction ever in global stock, with bond and property markets declining at least 75 – 95 percent. World trade will also contract dramatically and we will see massive hardship across the globe.

The 7 yearh Shmita/Shemitah Cycle
http://areyouready.co.za/shmita-yearLet's take a look at the incredibly accurate timing of the Shmita Year as it impacts modern history in the realm of finances, economies and empires:

You imply it would be better of me to inform my friends here at RPF of the stock market crash after it happens?
I think you miss the point. What happens on the day is just noise.
All the major indexes are below 5 year linear support lines; this is a major fail quantitative indication.

Trends always have points above and below them. The line is the average of such points. A day below the trend line does not necessarily mean a collapse is near. How many times in the past have the indexes gone below the trend line and a collapse followed? How many times has it gone below the trend and a collapse not followed? What is the accuracy of such a predictor? Five percent of the time? Fifty percent of the time? Seventy percent of the time? If it is five percent, not worth getting excited over. Seventy percent accurate? Worth paying attention to. Since you are into chart analysis, I would expect you probably have the data on this.
That is true.What happens on the day is just noise.

Forgive me if my burden of evidence is harder to meet when a first sentence that sounds like "THE SKY IS FALLING!"
I certainly don't have any faith in the market but if you're genuinely trying to convince people of impending doom I suspect you're not approaching it in quite the right way. Recommending specific investments certainly doesn't help your case either.
Eh... but I'm stocked up on canned beans. I might lose a little in a market collapse but all the "I told you so"'s I'd get to deliver would be well worth it.
Good luck to you sir. I hope your prediction pans out.

Pump and dump? Predicting any stock will go up six times its current value in the next five months is a warning signal not to buy it.
It was over $1600 a share in 2009 and is $32 today. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SPXU+Interactive#{"range":"max","allowCh artStacking":true} (choose "max" on chart).Last 32.55
I expect a valuation of 200+ by January. When it breaks up it will happen almost instantly.
Buying a stock which only does well if things go really bad is highly risky.

Call it what you want, it is a highly risky investment. Over most time periods, it loses money for investors.

Pretty graph but still doesn't answer the question as to how often the predictor of stock falling below some "support level" is actually followed by a recession. It does show that stocks have gone up and down. It does show how often it did. So how many times did it fail to predict? (I am not going to personally count all those littler downward jags followed by more increases but there are a whole lot more of them than the big ones).
Another point is that the slope of a "support line" or a "trend line" will depend heavily on the time frame (length) you give it and on the dates you start and stop it. It is really arbitrary- not a fixed point which cannot be crossed without a crisis. They change over time too. A ten year line will have a different slope from a five year line or from a three year line. Are any of them more or less valid or more or less predictive? Or are none of them necessarily predictive of the future? If a line is crossed, are we guaranteed a recession? No- we aren't.
