… And what investment strategy decisions should you be making right now to protect your family and safeguard your wealth?

In July 2001, the Russian newspaper Pravda carried a page one article by a top level Putin economic advisor warning Russian citizens of two things: that America would soon suffer an unusual catastrophic attack that would "…remind us of the blast of a huge nuclear bomb," and that the effects would devastate the dollar and send financial shock waves throughout the world. That advisor, Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, encouraged Russians to immediately dump their U.S. dollar-dominated assets and buy gold. This is the first time in over 80 years Russians have been allowed to even own gold.

What should concern you is that: 1. Her first prediction was dead-on accurate, and 2. the second part of her prediction is now poised to take place. Our new war on terrorism is just beginning - and I fear it is going to get much worse before it gets better…

Anthrax? Small Pox? Economic Meltdown? Suitcase Nukes? It may have started in New York - but we're all now living at ground zero. If your investments are still concentrated in stocks, mutual funds, or other "traditional" Wall Street assets, you're playing a dangerous game. Not only are you risking your financial security, but you're risking your ability to survive and thrive through whatever calamities this New War will bring.

I'm not talking IF - I'm talking WHEN. The key to surviving, even prospering, through the coming tumultuous months is to prepare now. I believe that Russian advisor knew before September 11th that something devastating was going to befall America. I also believe she knows what she's talking about when she warned her fellow comrades to dump the dollar and take a strong position in gold.

The Russians and the Afghans know a thing or two about war, gold, and uncertainty. When Russian tanks rolled into Kabul in December 1979, gold was trading at $385 per ounce. Within 6 weeks, the price had shot up to $850 - more than double its pre-invasion levels.

HISTORY HAS A FUNNY WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF

Each morning headline brings us closer to the next wave of terrorism. Our government leaders warn us almost weekly that a new threat is "imminent". Any number of converging forces could detonate and spark an explosion in the price of gold:

• An expansion in the war in the Middle East
• An escalation in terrorism here at home
• A crash in the U.S. Stock Market
• A declaration of National Emergency
• An increase in bio-terrorism on American soil
• An increase in flight capital out of Middle Eastern countries due to increased unrest and turmoil

Once it ignites, the price explosion will be fast and furious. If you're not in position before the price escalation, your opportunity will be lost.
