Forget about Greece, and all the problems of the PIGS countries.  (That’s Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain, if you haven’t been keeping up with the financially unstable “sick men” of Europe.)

We are headed for a terrible reckoning, my friend.

We have spent like drunken sailors—$7.2 trillion in new debt—and received so little in return.

If Washington grabs control of health care, 33% of the GDP will have been nationalized in less than a year!

The "official" number for our debt load is $12.3 trillion, but the nasty fact is that it is OVER $100 trillion.

A crushing load. Default, in the form of the total debasement of the dollar, is now the only option.

Below I’ve detailed the 7 steps you must take NOW.

First: Identify the Enemy

Today, we must prepare for a new type of enemy. Often, it is a fight to the death for natural resources.

The last drop of oil, the last ounce of yellowcake uranium, the last gallon of water.

Kashmir, for example, is Pakistan’s jugular vein because it provides most of the country’s water.

Another jugular vein is the Strait of Malacca near Singapore. Over 12 million barrels of oil per day pass through the strait, representing the lifeblood of China, Japan and Malaysia.

When resources are choked off, fortunes are made or lost in a blink.

We Must Begin, Therefore,

With Resources

Over the past 20 years, investors have built their wealth more slowly than inflation has taken it away: 1.9% return versus 2.9% inflation, according to Dalbar Research. What are investors doing wrong? I’ll tell you exactly. But first, perhaps an introduction is in order. My name is Dick Young, and for nearly four decades my investment advice has held to an unwavering principle: Our goal is to win by not losing. Would that you had followed this principle. But it is not too late. Indeed, you are only just in time. Understand this: We Are at War We are at war with the radical Sunni Muslim world, as the recent Christmas airplane bomb attempt reminds us. But you know that and maybe it matters to you, and maybe it doesn’t. The war that should matter to you is one that shreds society. It is the war that no one ever talks about. It is the war against each other. The war against the Haves, led by the Have-Nots, triggered by a shrinking economy. It is The Soak-the-Rich War And you are its main target. Let me say: I am a shameless survivalist. I have no intention of gaining wealth and the freedom it bestows, only to have it confiscated by lawmakers. I don’t worry about black helicopters. I worry about the cop in my town and what he might do when he discovers he won’t get the pension he was promised 20 years ago. I worry that the dollar is in the crapper, and taxes—my taxes—are about to soar to pay for someone else’s idiocy. And I’m doing something about it. You should too. Begin here.

What follows is entirely practical and specific. Also it is very urgent that you act on as much of what follows as you can. Your family’s future depends upon it.

#1: PROTECT YOURSELF

AGAINST RUSSIA

Europe is terrified of Russia, and the reason is: Natural Gas.

Twenty-eight percent of Europe’s natural gas is supplied by Russia—projected to increase to 60% over the next 10 years.

This dependency is a threat, and Russia knows it. In January 2009, Russia cut off natural gas supplies to Europe due to a dispute with Ukraine, creating shortages throughout Europe and causing prices to spike to multiyear highs

Spain, France, Germany, and Italy are among the top 10 natural gas importers worldwide. If Russia were to cut off supplies, the Spanish economy could be brought to its knees in approximately 45 days, bringing the rest of Europe with it in about 60.

Lesson From This

Natural gas companies in the U.S. hold sufficient resources to keep us independent for 116 years. Key to that independence is two small companies.

	One is a tireless natural gas explorer. These are the folks who will keep our supplies so diversified, no level of terrorist attacks on offshore rigs can disrupt our economy.
	Second is a natural gas pipeline operator with nearly 4,000 miles of pipes crisscrossing the continent.

Details in your Special Report, The 7 Steps You Must Take Now.

#2: PROTECT YOURSELF

AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA

Ground Zero for radical Sunni Muslim terrorism assistance is Saudi Arabia. Make no mistake: Saudia Arabia is a gas tank and the Taliban is the match. Dependence on oil from this region is no different from Europe’s dependence on gas from Putin. It’s just nuts.

The Saudi princes who finance the Taliban do so with oil priced as high as possible. Also not helping is the U.S. government, which has forced the dollar down and oil up.

Saudi Oil Minister Ali-al-Naimi has promised $70-$80 a barrel oil, but that is just a floor. $200 is a lead pipe synch.

This is an end-game and one we can win—and make a profit.

Big, unregulated companies like IBM are routinely cutting their fuel bills by 20%-30% a year, and the reason is: It saves them millions. It is not only profitable, it also increases national security to do this.

Profit From This

Natural gas is the big play here and I’ve told you about two MUST-HAVES already. Coal is next. Then tar sands. Then solar, wind and nuclear. Put them together with lightweight cars and planes, and you know what we have? Zero imports from Saudi Arabia.

And windfall profits, too.

The spot price of uranium quadrupled from 2004 to 2007. When it hit $138/lb, uranium became a certified bubble, which has now burst. For investors, this is the best possible news, of course. The fundamentals in favor of uranium are simply eye-popping, and we can now get in at less than half-price. Nuclear power is the ultimate alternative fuel, as the Chinese will tell you. Guangdong Nuclear in China sees a fivefold increase in its demand for uranium by 2020. Ready-to-use uranium is tough to find, except in Canada where they happen to have an abundance. Their top uranium mine sits on one million pounds of pure yellowcake. Whether or not we do anything with all of this yellowcake, it doesn’t matter. You see the rest of the world has already made its move. Every government in the world is swarming all over nuclear because, in the end, nothing else is scalable. And when you’ve got a new city the size of Philadelphia throwing itself skyward every 30 days in Asia, you can’t wait for crops, tides, winds or sunrise. You’ve just GOT to have scale. Right now, China has 11 civilian reactors and will have more than 100 reactors in 20 years. That adds up to massive uranium supply shortage. Between today and the day when oil hits $200/barrel, uranium could hit $300/lb. My exclusive report, Bedrock, shows you how to cash in

	Coal. We have 200 years of it left, right under our feet. If you think it’s dirty, you haven’t been keeping up on your reading. It can be made as clean as natural gas. It is our national strength. And one miner digs out and cleans most of it, handing out dandy dividends to boot.
	Tar sands oil is a guaranteed winner with oil at $40, a bonanza at $80 and a gold rush at anything over $100. This is good for Canada—and I’ll give some ideas for that in a minute. One company has a tar field capable of pumping 40 million barrels a year to the U.S. It’s also a takeover target by another Intelligence Report favorite in this space, Apache. It’s win, win for us.
	Nuclear has flaws, but the fact that it doesn’t contribute to global warming means it must grow. Some serious upsetting of apple carts here, but make no mistake: The Nuclear Revolution (Part II) is here. Is it in your portfolio?
	Solar and wind—our Florida utility, my #1 renewable energy play, is installing 1.1 gigawatts of wind power. This is the safest route right now. Details in your report, The 7 Steps You Must Take Now, available instantly here.

#3: PROTECT YOURSELF

AGAINST WASHINGTON

If you want to know what national bankruptcy looks like, turn east to Britain. Or west to California. Or south to Mexico.

The British pound has been unceremoniously DUMPED. Interest rates are at a record low. And the market has run into a wall—the rally that started in March is over, just like it is here.

The big gamble the British took is this: By spending their way out of debt, they bet they could jump-start the economy before inflation killed it.

This is precisely the same bet that California took.

And it is precisely the same bet that Washington has taken.

The jig is up in the U.K.: Britain’s budget deficit hit an all-time record of more than 20 billion pounds in November, taking Britain’s net debt to a record 60.2%.

It raises the question of DEFAULT—and total chaos in British society.

Could it happen here?

It already is happening here. And not just in the great Banana Republic of California: 47 states face the same crisis.

This is a time bomb, and the fuse is already lit. When it goes off, most investors will lose EVERYTHING.

But some will be looking at the biggest profit opportunity in 30 years.

Personally, I am hoping for the best. I hope that Washington can engineer enough of a stealth default that we can pull a “get out of jail free” card.

I hope that foreign powers will stop selling Treasuries and start buying them again.

I pray that this crisis doesn’t tear the fabric of our society in bankrupt states.

But I also recognize that Hope is not a strategy!

We must immediately prepare for the worst.

We must win—by not losing.

The 7 Steps You Must Take Now is your guidebook to the future. And the future, my friend, lies to the north of you, in Canada.

Where do you find the safest banks, a vital infrastructure, vast natural resources, all virtually untapped? Canada, of course.

While the U.S. toys with protectionism, Canada is leading a stunning initiative to abolish trade barriers.

And while U.S. consumers spend less, Canada has found billions who want to spend more—in China.

A strong currency, water, grain, gold, uranium, timber, oil sands, infrastructure, and a burgeoning China market make Canada the top destination for your money in 2010.

Hands down.

In The 7 Steps You Must Take Now,I lay out the case for Canada in full, but I do more: I tell you precisely which Canadian stocks you should buy now to maximize your returns in 2010.

#4: PROTECT YOURSELF

AGAINST URBANIZATION

You’d think, from all the attention it gets, that the world runs on oil.

Fact is, it runs on water, and water’s running out much faster than oil.

Blame mass migration. Migrants are flooding from farms to condos faster than they can be built in China. Add in over 70 million new people every year—a truly mind-boggling number.

Here at Young’s Intelligence Report, we have a name for just such a situation, and that name is: OPPORTUNITY.

Proof. I recently added two more water stocks to our portfolio.

The China-driven commodity boom that’s transforming Canada right now begins with oil but is also spreading like wildfire to timber, grain, gold, silver, uranium, lead, zinc, copper, platinum and gold. All parked right across the road from an economy doubling in size ever seven years! Get the picture? You need to get up to speed on this opportunity quickly—especially because Wall Street has yet to figure in the 154% rise in the price of Canada’s oil. That’s why I want you to read my newest report, 7 Steps You Must Take Now. This research report spells out the stunning potential in Canada of a commodity bull market that is still in the early stages. The report gives you chapter-and-verse on the top stocks with the “Canada Advantage,” including the tar sands extractor in western Canada with the potential to double your wealth before the end of 2010.

The idea of selling water for private gain is revolutionizing this rather stuck-in-the-mud business. But scarcity and the extraordinary profits that can now be made by investors are changing the rules quickly.

Make no mistake, water is blue gold… the new oil. Those who have it, like Canada, will be made rich by slaking the thirst of billions.

Those who don’t have enough of it, like China and Australia, must pay and pay until it hurts.

• Water is being shipped out of Lake Superior to India.
• Glacier water from Alaska is being pumped to China.
• Already, 4 in every 10 of us don’t have enough water. While demand increases, untainted supplies are drying up—literally.
• Brazil’s ethanol push could stub its toe on a surprise water shortage.
• Chilean Indians are getting rich on water harvested directly from the clouds above their lands.
• And so polluted have several provinces of China become, they face being abandoned and left as wastelands.

Get Into the Great

Water Rush

Two-thirds of the world’s population may have to abandon their lands by 2025 due to chronic water shortages. And we’re not just talking the sub-Sahara here.

The paradise island of Maui, some regions of Southern California and my own beloved Florida Keys are in danger, too.

I’ve recommended water stocks for 20 years, chiefly because they provide a flow of dividends as steady and fat as the Mississippi.

Long ago, my subscribers got their initial investment back, just in dividends.

But today I’m recommending water utilities as growth stocks.

Time to Dive In

Right now, water supplies are tight all across the western United States.

The water company that is a major player west of the Mississippi sells for about $37 a share. The value of its assets is many times greater.

#5: PROTECT YOURSELF
AGAINST CREDIT

Like water, money is a must-have. Too little, we die. Too much, we drown.

Right now, we’re drowning in money.

With this much money pumped into the global system, inflation is a certainty, and I trust you understand this.

Asset price inflation is running rampant. We’ve blown through fair value in stocks, and commodities and gold prices are rising.

The fact is, the dollar is already effectively worthless on the global stage.

Gold to $2,000

This situation makes gold the de facto reserve currency. Gold alone cannot be devalued or manipulated. It is the safe haven standard of value today, just as it has been for the last 5,000 years.

How high will gold go? I answer with another question: How low can the dollar go? In other words, there’s really no limit.

In a crash and an economic depression, gold is your best investment. For the 10 years following the Crash of 1929, the Homestake gold mine was the top gainer on the New York Stock Exchange.

Today, though, we can use mutual funds tied to gold. In your economic report, The 7 Steps You Must Take Now, I lay out for you exactly which gold mutual funds you need to be invested in BEFORE the dollar’s next big drop. Get it here.

The Supply-Demand Equation

What if I’m all wet on the dollar’s demise? Glad you asked—because the OTHER route that gold takes to the moon is the supply/demand road.

And this, my friend, is the expressway.

Investment demand for gold has increased by 121% in the last year—just in the U.S. Did you know that?

The rush to gold is driven by several factors:

1. Americans confidence in their banks is at a record low of 22%, according to a June Gallup Poll. Even bankers don’t trust each other, which is why they refuse to make even overnight loans. So why should you trust them?
2. Demand for gold, especially in the form of American Eagle coins, is up over 800% in a matter of days. So great has demand been, sales are now SUSPENDED.
3. And in Asia, 3 billion people emerging into a new middle class, are putting their wealth on their fingers, not in their bank accounts.

In The 7 Steps You Must Take Now, I tell you all about why you should (and how you should) buy bullion.

#6: PROTECT YOURSELF

AGAINST POPULATION GROWTH

Crop scientists fear the Ug99 fungus could wipe out more than 80% of worldwide wheat crops as it spreads from eastern Africa.

It has already jumped the Red Sea and traveled as far as Iran.

Experts say it is poised to enter the breadbasket of northern India and Pakistan, and the wind will inevitably carry it to Russia, China even North America—if it doesn’t hitch a ride with people first.

Though most Americans have never heard of it, Ug99—a type of fungus called stem rust because it produces reddish-brown flakes on plant stalks—is the No. 1 threat to the world’s most widely grown crop.

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico estimates that 19% of the world’s wheat, which provides food for 1 billion people in Asia and Africa, is in imminent danger.

Buy the Farm

Not since 1972, when President Nixon signed his wheat deal with the Russians, has it been so lucrative to be a farmer.

For investors who are a little averse to the heavy lifting that comes with raising corn, the current farmland boom is even better news than it was in 1972.

Here’s why:

Overall, we’ve got population growth of course. Plus, a huge new demand for energy, which can be accommodated very profitably with biofuels.

Top it all off with a huge new investor class that has just discovered that real assets offer the type of safety and returns that government-controlled fiat money can’t touch.

Follow the Smart Money

Private equity fund BlackRock has been buying farmland acreage in Africa while Ospraie has been snapping up grain elevators throughout the Midwest. But what the rich farmers themselves are doing is using their windfall profits to buy more farmland.

Here at Young’s Intelligence Report, we own a company that was founded in 1870 and is Hawaii’s fourth-largest landowner. They specialize in growing sugarcane on a nearly 36,000-acre plantation in Maui and are Hawaii’s largest producer of raw sugar, accounting for over 60% of all the state’s sugar. Not only is the sugarcane delicious, but it can also be used in ethanol, as Brazil has masterfully demonstrated.

The company’s stock has been up 101% since early March and is currently yielding a 3.9% dividend. They have an impressive history of 106 years of consecutive dividends, too.

Details in your report, Food, Farms, and Real Estate in 2010.

#7: PROTECT YOURSELF
AGAINST CHINA

China is an ecological disaster bigger than any in the history of the world.

The entire Empire has been savagely deforested, causing an ecological disaster and new restrictions on harvesting. That’s pushed Chinese timber imports up a tidy tenfold.

The Perfect Investment Now

Timber is the only low-risk, high-return asset in existence, period. For the last 100 years, it has returned an average of 6.5% a year. Out of any 4 market collapses, timber rises in three.

Timber is a wonderful business. The sun shines, the trees grow. If the price is right, you harvest them. If not, they grow another 7% in size and value a year and then you make more money when prices are higher.

Or, put it this way: Our top timber stock is up 95-fold since 1989. You get the idea, I’m sure.

Your economic report, 7 Steps You Must Take Now, not only tells you which timber companies to focus on, it also shows you how to get instant diversification across all natural resources, using just one fund. It’s all in your report.

The Big Scramble

Your Last Chance

There’s a mad scramble going on for strategic fuels and metals, and it could make you very rich, very quickly, my dear colleague.

You’ve probably heard of China’s unseemly grab for oil in the Sudan. Human rights be damned, says Beijing, it’s all about oil, and we want it.

Well, they get points for being blunt, I guess.

But this issue is bigger than that, of course. Much bigger.

South Korea, Asia’s third-largest economy, has almost no natural resources. Recently, Seoul said it would go on a $5.6 billion shopping spree for copper, oil, gold and uranium.

You could argue that the Koreans are smartly buying a bargain.

But the truth is much simpler.

The fact of the matter is, South Korea doesn’t have a choice. China, with its first-mover advantage and trillion-dollar surplus is stockpiling like mad. South Korea, India, and Japan are in a frantic race for raw materials.

Make no mistake: If you didn’t double, triple, or quadruple your money in the last 5 years in the great bull market in things—commodities like gold, copper, steel, coal, uranium, oil, or natural gas—this is your second chance.
