Warning: Currencies Will Keep Plunging & Hundreds Of Online FX Brokers Are Being Shut Around The World

All currencies around the world are just going down every year for the last several years against the USD.

This one way decline is not good for majority of the clients who cannot make profits unless they short but most clients as well advisers have a bias for long and always believe that currencies (or stocks) will bounce back.

However, as we have been advising our clients that investing in other currencies is not profitable any longer until the USD collapses.

5 year performance of select currencies (ascending losses):

Luxury Global Real Estate Prices In Free Fall Throughout 2018 Except Philippines and China

We have advised all our multi million dollar clients since late 2014 (when oil first started it's precipitous decline) to exit whatever property investments they have as much as they can, anywhere in the world. 

Almost all have listened to us wisely. 

Because we have been 100% correct!

We continue to remain negative on global real estate investments in top cities like London and NY and others like across Canada and Australia or in UAE and India.


We had even issued a warning alert on our blog on 2 Aug 2018.

First Ever Bank In The UAE & Middle East Receives A Bail Out!

On a quiet Friday evening when everyone in the Middle East is enjoying their weekend the first ever UAE bank reached the point of a collapse (as we have been expecting and have warned everyone for years).

Invest Bank of Sharjah had reached a critical point of collapse with lack of liquidity, capital, profits and massive loan losses and needed to be bailed out surreptitiously on a Friday afternoon today, 14 Dec 2018!

Hundreds of bankers will be fired as the clean up begins and expect more bank mergers over the next several months.

"Smartest" Hedge Funds Collapse & Lose Client Money Across All Sectors

We continue to reiterate that it's impossible for even the best of the best fund managers to make money for their clients.


Whether they are bankers with fancy degrees in smart suits, or CFA degree holders romanticizing as advisers or past bond market gurus or hedge fund legends.

All of them will keep failing.

We continue to remain steadfast in our views since late 2015.

We all know how superbly Abraaj Group in Dubai blew up and lost money for Bill Gates and many other similar clients totaling over USD 15 billion!

Option Related Hedge Fund Loses ALL Money For ALL His Clients, Now He Is A Laughing Stock On Wall Street

An Adviser who lost ALL The Money of ALL His Clients
We have advised investors since late 2015 when interest rates started rising for the first time in over 40 years that markets will remain volatile to the downside and it will not at all be easy to make money by investing whether in currencies, bonds, stocks (except select day trading or select top notch stocks) or any sort of commodity investments or structured products etc.

So far, we have been right.


This year when interest rates actually started rising and more rises are still ahead in US/Canada etc and the so called Quantitative Easing (fake money printing) has stopped almost worldwide (sucking out liquidity from global markets), we have seen hundreds of bankruptcies worldwide causing demand of almost every single product to decline.

Venezuela Becomes The Second Country In The World To Dump The US Dollar

We have been warning for several years that all the countries will need to move away from the US Dollar. 

Thanks to Donald Trump, this trend has majorly accelerated this year who is bent on destroying his own country and the reason it is No 1 which is due to the global usage of the US dollar.

Just on 12 Aug 2018, Iran dumped the US dollar in it's global trade transactions.

3 Airlines Have Shut So Far in Oct 2018 Across Europe

As business conditions continue to deteriorate globally, 3 airlines (4 if you include a subsidiary in Latvia) have shut in the month of October 2018 alone.
Primera Air was the first shut on 2 Oct 2018 in Denmark along with a subsidiary in Latvia. They had a fleet of 7 planes serving 41 destinations operating since 2003.

Second one to collapse was a small airline with 2 planes operating since 2009 in Birmingham, UK on 12 Oct 2018.

Abraaj: WSJ Breaks Major News On World's Largest Private Equity Insolvency - Arif Naqvi Took Hundreds of Millions of Dollars For Himself, His Son & His Beautiful Ex-Assistant!

We had warned in early Feb 2018 when WSJ broke the fraud story of Abraaj and then on June 5th 2018, we again warned that Abraaj will be liquidated which happened weeks thereafter.

Deloitte had warned prior to June 2018 that there are "discrepancies".

Regulators around the world are actively investigating the complex global fraud. US, UK, Singapore, Cayman Islands and DIFC regulators are all investigating Abraaj.

Here is our viewpoint from 5 June 2018:

One of Africa's Top Billionaires Has Been Kidnapped Sending Shockwaves Across Tanzania

One of the biggest billionaires of Tanzania has been kidnapped and thus far he is missing.

There have been several high profile cases like this across Africa just in 2018 for kidnappings but many have been of gun shots and robberies across South Africa and other parts of Africa randomly.

The world is getting nastier out there. Be safe!👍

Gunmen snatch Africa's youngest billionaire from busy street in Tanzania

Mo Dewji becomes Africa’s sixth billionaire to be abducted in 2018

As on date, 15th October 2018, there is no trace yet of the billionaire from Dar es Salaam.

Saudi Standoff Could Lead To Pricing of Oil in Chinese Yuan Eroding US Dollar Superpower Status!

The current global standoff between Saudi Arabia and the western world due to the presumed death (disappearance?) or missing status of Jamal Khashoggi (Washington Post journalist, Saudi citizen, US Permanent Resident) has all the elements of intrigue and mystery. 

This standoff is linked to pricing of oil in USD versus Yuan, infighting of Saudi elites, 9/11 attack court cases seeking compensation from Saudis, US politics/superpower status, global military sales, multi billion dollar investments, skirmishes with regional powers like Iran/Turkey and many other top most global geo political concerns. 

Major US and UK corporations have pulled out of the Oct 23rd 2018 Saudi conference on the future vision of Saudi. Markets have tumbled, currencies and capital outflows are under pressure.

Second Largest Mall of Canada Is A Ghost Town As Another Sign of Canadian Zombie Economy Emerges

Canadian economy is gradually falling apart.

The low prices of commodities are hurting Canada, Trump is reducing investments and encouraging car and other American factories to move back to USA, oil price was at it's lowest for over 4 years and even today around USD 80 is about 35%-40% below the highs of 2014, Canadian Loonie is at 0.77 cent, it peaked in 2012 around 1.02 and has been declining ever since.

Now the hottest news in Canada this weekend:

Entire GCC Crumbles Like A Pack of Cards: 19 Banks Merge, Etihad Can't Pay Back Debt, Saudi Contractor Can't Pay Salaries, UAE/Saudi Halt 3 Projects of $243 Billion, $11 Billion Bail Out For Bahrain & Jordan

We have been warning our clients and investors about the complete collapse of GCC since 2015.

Thousands of businessmen across GCC have gone into turmoil ever since, property prices have collapsed and thousands are in jail or have run away or are involved in multiple litigation while Govt's are not making payments leading to freezing of thousands of business.

Trump is openly humiliating and challenging Saudi, Etihad is at the verge of a slow death like collapse and bailouts of large corporations and entire countries are in full swing.

Last week, we elaborated how bad things were in the UAE.


In all, at least 19 major banks have merged across GCC within the last 12 months approx.:

Trump Humiliates Saudi King In Fight Over US Dollar Hegemony; Issues Warning To Saudis Saying "Who Knows What Will Happen"

We have been warning since 2015 about Saudis to remain under tremendous pressure.

Trump has been calling for lower oil price without any impact on anybody over the last month.

Saudis have run out of money, are borrowing funds which is blasphemy, selling assets, ejecting expats, cutting subsidies, hiking tariffs by doubling or tripling on water and electricity, opening up their economy, trying to diversify, reducing religious barriers etc.

But more importantly, Saudis are meeting with Russians and the Chinese.

Russians are building nuclear plants in Saudi while Saudi handed USD 10b to Russians for investment last year. 

India Is Having a Lehman Moment!

IL&FS company in India is having debt of USD 12.6b and is about to collapse.

"Rescuing IL&FS group, which has total debt of $12.6 billion -- 61 percent in the form of loans from financial institutions -- is vital for authorities to stem the risk of default spreading to other lenders in the world’s fastest-growing major economy."


This is one of a series of massive scams under PM Modi's guidance where tax payers money of India has been looted and stuffed into the pockets of crony billionaires.

The audit committee Chairman and the first independent director of this project in Gujarat himself has filed a public interest litigation to uncover the fraud.

Emirates-Etihad Sibling Rivalry Won’t Have a Happy Ending

A fantastic analysis on the merger of Emirates-Etihad, should it occur.

We have said for a while now that Etihad is in major trouble along with several other large entities in the UAE.

They have sold several planes this year, have had loss of USD 3 bn in 2 consecutive years, reduced routes, didn't pay Alitalia and Air Berlin causing legal troubles and bankruptcy, now Etihad won't pay any money to support Jet Airways which is owned 24% by Etihad.

Etihad guaranteed bond is at USD 53.50 today indicating severe distress.

Trump’s Trade Tantrums Are Further Weakening An Already Declining America

This blog was the first to warn the world on June 25, 2018 that Trump's trade tariffs will hurt everyone around the world (except China)!

However, the most dramatic impact will be on the US economy and it’s global status itself leading to job cuts, billions lost in lower exports, several bankruptcies, slowdown in investing in projects, slow down in bank lending & incomes and overall slowdown in the real economy.

Trump’s eccentric tariff tantrums will hurt economies far and wide and cost millions of jobs of simple folks who have no clue on what’s happening.

It would be wise for Trump supporters to read this article in order to understand how he is hurting the American free trade led capitalism model that helped the world rise over the past 50 years and the major loser will be Americans themselves.

Here is our previous forecast.

The Turbulence In The Indian Private Sector Banks Is Gathering Speed

Majority of Indian banks are in the worst shape possible.

All 19 Public Sector Banks (majority owned by Govt and operated by Govt) have a smaller market cap than 1 single HDFC Bank.

At least 11 PSU banks have a total ban on lending.

Last year 5 SBI subsidiaries merged with the parent SBI. Last week, 3 major banks were merged. these are signs of stress an crisis.

Some CEO's and several top executives have been charged or arrested for fraud.

Bad loans at banks are at their highest in the HISTORY of India.

Pakistan Govt Wants ALL It's Money Back From UAE That Is Invested In UAE Properties

Most of the 2,700 top multi million dollar properties are about to be seized in Dubai.

This doesn’t include paper assets where properties are not yet completed that also are in thousands.

Hundreds of top Pakistanis should have sold but cannot sell anything now in Dubai.

Now some of them need to sell in Dubai and run or face court action in Pakistan.

All have to submit affidavits in court as well immediately.😲

Nigeria: Presidency Hits Back At HSBC - Return Our Stolen Assets in Your Custody

How American Economy Has Been Destroyed, Million Souls At A Time

American economy, American real estate, so called "American dream" and the lives of most Americans have been and are being destroyed million souls at a time.

This is happening since the 2008 crisis and worse is yet to come.

Bridges in America are falling, boats are capsizing, mass shootings are rising rapidly, hurricanes are worst ever, climate change impact from Louisiana to Puerto Rico to Carolinas now is hurting the economy even further.

Hawaii has a volcano spewing and Yellowstone National Park could get hit by a bigger volcano.

Future Of Bankers/Finance Workers Is Going Downhill Every Passing Day

This is what we have suggested to everyone since 2012. However, many disagreed. 

Now the facts are there for all to see that banking careers and banking businesses have been destroyed almost globally (except in most of Asia).

Look what finance/banking people are doing and that’s the future for all finance graduates!

Bankers Are Losing Their Minds!

Until several years ago, bankers were the happiest people and jumped jobs, got salary hikes, handsome bonuses etc.

Over the last 8-10 years, hundreds of banks have shut, millions of bankers lost their jobs and bonuses have disappeared while bankers are begging clients for business.

Bankers have committed suicide across US and Europe and some had been killed by their clientsMany are involved in money laundering and were sent to jail and one German banker in Singapore even started sourcing under age girls to supplement his living!🙄

A British banker in HK killed 2 women and stuffed them in suitcases in his apartment in 2014.

Indonesia Is Headed Towards a Big Crisis

"THE financial crisis affecting developing countries arrived in full-scale fashion in our region last week when the Indonesian economy experienced shocks reminiscent of the Asian crisis 20 years ago."

Be ready – financial crisis is near 

"London: In a sign of the pressure on emerging currencies, the Indonesian rupiah fell 0.7 per cent to its lowest level since the Asian financial crisis in 1997-1998.


The rupiah has weakened nearly 9 per cent against the dollar so far this year, one of the worst affected currencies in the emerging markets sell-off, despite repeated interventions from the central bank. Indonesia’s inflation picked up in August, but remained within the central bank’s target range."

Indonesia CRISIS: Rupiah SLUMPS to its weakest level in more than 20 YEARS

Have You Seriously Considered A Second Citizenship/Residency?

There are several advantages of having a second citizenship or just a residency.

We have advised our clients since 2011 to have a Plan B.

Reasons can be varied, from tax planning, or retirement, or having a new business opportunity, a bank account, priority access to invest in business/real estate, visa free travel, children's education, migration to a better country etc.

Whatever may be your reason, you must consider a second or third citizenship/residency option.

Trump’s Trade War Is Taking Entire America Backwards

As we had warned on 25 June 2018 that Trump’s tantrums against the entire world will hurt America more than anybody else. That is exactly how it has come about.


Millions of Americans are expected to be impacted and lose their jobs


On Friday, 7 Sept 2018, even Apple came out towards the end of the trading day to submit that they are being hurt and may slow down. That’s the No. 1 American company globally and one of the world's best known brands.

USDINR Continues It's Plunge Hurting All Leveraged Depositors

USDINR (Indian Rupee per 1 USD) has crossed 71 and touched 71.40 today.


May God bless those who bought leveraged INR deposits based on “superb” advice from their bankers.

While Indians in India can expect further inflation in the months ahead.

And large business with dollar loans can expect share price plunges and collapses.

Jindal Group valued at $6bn will either collapse or default or break up. This is just 1 multi billion dollar group. Many more to come in the weeks and months ahead.

NRI’s (Non Resident Indian) Depositors To Lose Heavily Due to USDINR Plunge

Almost all Emerging Market currencies have plunged in recent months due to Trump’s tantrums.

However, no other country does as much aggressive marketing to collect deposits for it's insolvent banks from it’s overseas diaspora as does India.

Hence, the biggest losers in Asia’s worst performing currency for 2018 (USDINR) are obviously the NRI’s.

Bankers being bankers keep “advising” clients that USDINR will appreciate, despite the fact that for over 50 years, USDINR has been depreciating at a rate of 5-6% pa.

This time the plunge is deeper and has crossed the psychological/technical/fundamental level of 70 and closed above this level on Friday weekly chart as well as for the month end of Aug 2018.

Canadian Cannabis Legalization: Beginning Of A New Growth Industry – Where To Invest

Every few decades, a brand new investment sector arises.

In early 1900’s, industrialization began with car, airplane and oil all invented or discovered at the same time that heralded multiple growth sectors who did extremely well for wealth creation for over a century.

In the early 1970’s, Middle East discovered oil and America seized the opportunity by creating a US dollar hegemony circle whereby USD gained strength to become a premium currency (dethroning the GBP), made a deal with Saudi to sell oil exclusively in USD against which America provided military support. This created an American military sector second to none worth trillions of dollars and has been creating wealth until date.

Then, in 1975, Microsoft was formed that created the 3rd revolution (besides green revolution and the industrial revolution) known as the technology revolution. It led to the creation of innovative giants like Hotmail, Google, Apple, Blackberry, Dell, Adobe and hundreds more.

John Oliver Teaching Global Trade To Donald Trump: Must Watch Viral Video

This video clearly shows that Donald Trump has no clue on how global trade works.

It's really worth watching the entire video.

It's hilarious how John Oliver (HBO Anchor), Angela Merkel (German Chancellor), Claude Juncker (EU President) and so many others have tried to explain trade to Trump without much success.

It's staggeringly astonishing that the top trade guy of Trump, Peter Navarro, was discovered and hired by searching Amazon.com by Jared Kushner (son in law of Trump).

Peter Navarro (Chief Trump adviser behind the tariffs on the entire world), as this video explains, is not liked or agreed with, by one single economist in the whole world.

Germany Wants To Create A New Monetary System WITHOUT The US

We have advised our clients for a while now that the entire world will move away from the US Dollar hegemony leading to it's gradual collapse.

Iran became the first country on 20 Aug 2018 to detach themselves from the US Dollar completely.


China and Russia already have their own global monetary system, now Iran has joined them, India is contemplating and has their own domestic payments system and now Germany (which means the EU) is calling for the same.

Iran: The First Country In The World To Dump The “Mighty” US Dollar

We have argued for several years that the entire world will gradually move away from the USD and be pulled towards the rising might of the Chinese Yuan.

Here is our research from Oct 2013 where we outlined our thesis on how and why the Yuan will dominate the world in the years and decades ahead: 


But today’s HOTTEST news is that Iran has become the first country in the world to completely move away from USD.

South Africa Begins Expropriating Farms Of White Farmers

Nationalism is on the rise worldwide.

What Trump is doing in America to Hispanics and others, what Modi is doing in India to Muslims and others, the black locals in South Africa are doing the same to whites.

We have been arguing for several years that ethnicity alone will determine the future and will cause deglobalization to continue for years to come.

Visa denials, shut down of corporations on foreign soil, ban on new immigration, attacks on foreign embassies, hate crimes, asset seizures, sanctions, tariffs, currency wars, terrorism, declining global trade etc. will keep growing worldwide.

All the above are part of an unstoppable global trend that arises when sufficient jobs don’t exist anywhere (except China) and we have been calling for this deglobalization trend to intensify since 2014.

Saudi Arabia: The Coming Implosion, Depeg of Saudi Rial & The Historic Decision Of Sale Of Oil In Chinese Yuan

All signs are there indicating of an economic collapse in Saudi.

We had argued on 1 Aug 2018 that millions have left Saudi, giant corporations have shut, hundreds of royal family members are in jail, water, electricity and petrol prices have doubled or tripled, visas for expats are extremely hard to get or not possible in dozens of jobs, FDI has plunged, Saudis themselves don’t wish to invest in Saudi yet cannot take out money from Saudi etc.


Yesterday, Bloomberg has published an article about the oncoming implosion.

Money outflows and viability of investment is the key problem in Saudi that scares the foreign investors.

Abraaj Group: Last Days Of An Insolvent Private Equity Giant

Abraaj started it’s collapse in Feb 2018 and today, it has all come to an end in Dubai.

Like so many insolvent companies in the Middle East, Abraaj tried to run it’s operations from investor moneys meant for investments and paid the ultimate price. 

They forgot it was a regulated firm and had the richest man in the world as it’s client, and was not a privately held firm where insolvency can be hidden for a longer period of time.

The company’s debt , according to some estimates and news reports is above USD 1 billion on a conservative basis.

Liquidator was appointed itself by the firm in Cayman Islands in June 2018.

Today, DIFC has appointed a provisional liquidator in Dubai as well. All new investments have been halted and all money movement between entities as well.

Abraaj will finally shut down in DIFC. About $14bn of investor money is stuck in various parts of the world.


Is Turkey Being Attacked By Trump For Ditching The US Dollar? Answer:Yes!

The US dollar currency has been used as a primary tool of US hegemony since oil was discovered in the Middle East and a deal was made between President Nixon and King Faisal in 1973.

Recently, with reference to Turkey, in April 2018, news came out that Turkey (11thlargest gold holder behind Netherlands and ahead of India) wishes to repatriate more gold from US/IMF holdings.

This is what President Erdogan said in late April 2018:

“Meanwhile, Erdogan has taken a tough stance against the US currency, criticized dollar loans and saying that international loans should be given in gold instead.

“Why do we make all loans in dollars? Let’s use another currency. I suggest that the loans should be made based on gold,” Erdoğan said during a speech at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Istanbul on April 16, according to Hurriyet.

GLOBAL ALERT: ATTN: ANYONE WITH A BANK ACCOUNT: CONTACT YOUR BANKS URGENTLY: 8 BANKS HACKED IN INDIA, NIGERIA & USA WITHIN THE LAST WEEK!

As we all may remember that in late 2016, the computer hackers took out millions of dollars from the account of Bangladeshi Central Bank from New York Federal Reserve office in NY and transferred it to Manila and the money simply disappeared.

Just within the last 2 days, 2 banks have been SUCCESSFULLY attacked by computer hackers in India and Nigeria. 

Besides, just within the last 1 week, half a dozen banks also have been hacked in USA from where over 1 million dollars has disappeared.

In the first incident in Pune, India (close to Mumbai city), hackers logged into the server of the bank and were able to transfer out money from various accounts.

This attack originated in Canada, hacked a bank in Pune, India and through 28,000 transactions in less than 2 hours and 13 minutes all money was transferred abroad to 28 countries and immediately withdrawn.
