7 Stocks for a High Yield Cash Flow Portfolio

The problem with all of those listed above is the fact of the TRUE rate of inflation. It ain't even CLOSE to the one the Bureau of Lying Statistics puts out, and the Fed decided they weren't going to tell us what M3 is starting in March '06...their reasoning...it cost too much--something like $25M/yr, this from the same Mafiosos who roll out of bed on a Monday and bail out their Family Mob banker buddies to the tune of hundreds of $Billions!! There was one and only one reason to stop printing it publicly...yep...24/7 fiat creation...off the charts.

Our CPI isn't even close to 3.5-4%...the CPI was changed during the Clinton administration with all sort of gimmicry added to keep the govt from having to pay out ever-increasing COLAs on their entitlement programs. Using the CPI from Carter's administration and preceding, the CPI now (and even this is conservative) is closing in on 11%. But that doesn't tell you the rate of inflation, which is NOT price increases, but expansion of the money supply, which sooner or later ALWAYS finds its way into prices we pay. M3 is still being calculated privately (see shadowstats.com) and we're nearing 20% annualized (actually the rate over the past 6-9 months has reached closer to 30% during some stretches).

The Point?...unless your return in FRNs..."dollars"...is greater than the rate of inflation, you're losing money in the end. You can hope to be the "least loser" and figure that he who loses the least wins. But that actually only works in theory. Only FRO is reaching that figure at the moment with cap. gains and divies, but the Fed has now made it exquisitely clear for all who can hear, see, read (except, of course, those who b/c of their extremely low IQ and finely tuned sense of self-aggrandizement get themselves elected to positions in the govt) that they will NOT fight to stop inflation, but only to maintain as long as possible their fiat currency hegemony.

Therefore...in all you getting, make sure you take some significant proportion of your earnings and promptly trade in those always more worthless pieces of fiat paper for REAL money...gold and silver coins, bullion...PHYSICAL...i... possession.... Americans may no longer remember, but the world does, that gold and silver always have been and always will be the real money...and when the fiat fraud comes crashing down, as they all have done historically...either have a well oiled wheelbarrow for all your paper money when you come to the grocery store, or have silver and gold. jt
