Writing on behalf of: “BulletProof Shares” – How To Protect Your Stocks From Broker Bankruptcy & Theft

“Do you realize how huge this is?”

…I could hear the emotion in his voice. A mix of panic and anger. It was my rich entrepreneurial friend – probably worth about $100 million. Or he was until last month.

I’d been telling him for years that he needed to prepare for a complete financial system breakdown, as well as the bankruptcy of his stock broker.

Anyone who has followed our work at The Dollar Vigilante knows we’ve been writing about this since the near total collapse of 2008. He believed me, but, as he told me, he didn’t think it was “this close”. He thought maybe he had a few more years before he had to start preparing for bank collapse… brokerage collapse… sovereign debt collapse… and a complete collapse of the fiat currency monetary system.

October 31, 2011, he got the wake-up call of his life...

“We’re sorry sir, but all customer accounts have been frozen…”

It was the collapse of MF Global. In an instant, tens of thousands of investors had their funds just….disappear. My rich friend… in fact, more than a dozen of my friends… media celebrities like Gerald Celente… and countless others… had millions of dollars in limbo. You probably heard about it. But you probably don’t understand the full extent of the seriousness of this event.

My rich friend is no fool. He didn’t get rich by being foolish. He spent time choosing a brokerage in which to place a significant amount of his funds. He invested in profitable gold & silver mining companies and gold futures which were rising during the MF collapse. He even had his own staff of lawyers and accountants interview their lawyers and accountants to ensure that under no circumstance would his funds be put at risk.

He was told that all of his funds would be held in separate, segregated accounts that were completely under the control of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, owned by the multi-billion dollar CME Group. He was assured that no matter what happened to MF Global, his funds and investments would be secure.

It was a complete and total lie.

His Entire Account Was…

GONE

My friend took every precaution in advance. Gerald Celente, who has written about the coming collapse of the financial system, also thought that he would be secure with MF Global.

The scary part is, MF Global claimed to have one of the “best structures” to ensure client’s funds were safe!

Now, since the COMEX has stepped in and says they will ensure clients get “some” of their account funds back… But, MF Global is just the tip of the iceberg in our opinion. And, if cash and investments held at MF Global can just disappear, what does that mean for every other broker-dealer in the western financial system?

We’ve been waiting for this inevitability, and in fact, we feel it will be an event which will tear through the fabric of the mainstream investment system, devouring both winning and losing investment portfolios indiscriminately.

The reason for this coming broker-dealer crisis is simple. The entire western financial system is built on debt… it’s an anti-capitalist system set-up to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It started in 1913 with the founding of The Federal Reserve, went down the slippery slope with gold confiscation in the US in 1933 and reached the beginning of the end in 1971 with Nixon closing the gold window, turning the US dollar (officially called the Federal Reserve Note, look in your pocket if you don’t believe us) into a completely fiat currency.

In more recent times, it was the repeal of the Glass-Steagel act that allowed Investment Banks to acquire broker-dealers, and pass the risks of 100-1 leverage downstream to all client accounts. Therefore, you’re stock investments are now only as safe as the speculative portfolio of your broker-dealer! Considering most Western Investment Houses are leveraged at least 40-1, this means your stocks are no safer than a 40-1 bet on European bonds! (Which most western investment banks are leveraged to the teeth with)

Some believe their stocks will be protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which insures stocks accounts from broker collapse up to $500k for securities, and account cash balances up to $250k. But what if you have more than $250k in cash and/or more than $500k of securities in your account? What if one of the largest broker dealers in the country went bust, bringing down thousands of accounts and depleting the entire reserves of the SIPC? What if the SIPC itself goes bankrupt? What few people are aware of, is that the SIPC only carries about $1 billion in funds to cover investors! This means only one or two high profile broker dealer bankruptcies will be enough to completely wipe out the SIPC.

Some may claim the U.S. government will bail out the SIPC to whatever extent needed. But what if two major broker dealers went bust–while at the same time, the U.S. government suffers a major Treasury bond auction failure? This is all but a certainty in the coming years.

And the same thing applies in Canada to Canadian brokerages and Canadian stocks. The Canadian economy is intricately tied to the US. In fact, not many people are aware, but all that backs the Canadian dollar is the US dollar. The Canadian Government sold all its gold decades ago.

In addition, what few investors realize is that MF Global was a clearinghouse for both stocks and futures. To all those paying attention, it is indeed the first row of balcony seating collapsing in a progressively burning movie theatre.

The entire monetary & financial system is headed for its final destination – total collapse… and 2008 was just the beginning.

But…

We’ve been predicting there are still a few more years left… not 10. But maybe 2 to 3 more years. We believe the Federal Reserve and all western central banks will print enough money to get the system through for another few years… just enough for them to get out of office and retired to their Caribbean island villas before all the western fiat currencies enter hyperinflation.

And, we believe this will create one final bubble. The tech bubble is dead. The housing bubble is dead. And the bubble in government debt is in its death throes. What will be the final bubble?

But the question remains — How can we safely invest in gold and silver mining shares and avoid the collapse brought on by The Coming Broker Dealer Crisis?

Through our research we discovered there are actually three methods of owning stock investments. The traditional method, which the majority of investors use today, puts the individual investor at the greatest risk, while offering the greatest upside to the broker-dealer. This traditional method of opening a stock account, purchasing shares, and allowing your broker to hold them for you is called, “street name registration.” It is the riskiest of all methods and allows your broker to lend your shares to short sellers, thereby driving down the price of your own stocks. Additionally, this method allows your broker to “re-hypothecate” your assets–meaning it allows your broker to borrow money against your shares and speculate in the derivatives market!

These hidden risks are planting the seeds of tomorrow’s ultimate collapse – In which there may be a system-wide collapse of broker dealers, taking down tens of thousands of investors, and ensuring permanent non-recoverable losses to an entire generation of investors!

HOWEVER…

There are two methods of owning stocks your broker-dealer will never tell you about!

These two methods completely remove the broker dealer counter party risk attached to your shares–effectively removing them from “the system.”

These two methods discussed in, “BulletProof Shares” – How To Protect Your Stocks From Broker Bankruptcy & Theft, deprive your broker dealer the abilities to sell your stocks short and to “re-hypothecate” them. Your broker dealer will never willingly tell you about these methods—because they make more money when your shares are in their hands—precisely where risks are greatest to you.

These methods are so safe, that even if your broker dealer collapsed tomorrow, and stole every penny from every client investment account—you would be able to sleep safe and sound, knowing your stocks are far out of reach, and legally unavailable to access by your broker-dealer.

With the methods discussed in “BulletProof Shares”…If the entire broker-dealer industry collapses–your stocks will be 100% safe.

This means everyone–all brokers in the Unites States and Canada. If every broker collapsed tomorrow due to waves of bankruptcies, the ownership methods documented within BulletProof Shares will protect you 100%. You will be able to sleep safe and sound at night, knowing your shares are carrying ZERO COUNTER PARTY RISK.

There will be more opportunity in this crisis than in any other in the past century. In order to profit from the coming crisis you need to ensure that if/when your brokerage goes bankrupt you still retain ownership of your shares.

If you are able to preserve & accumulate wealth during the collapse, you will be offered the greatest buying opportunity of our generation. Blue-chip companies may be purchased for pennies on the dollar…but the trick is to safely protect your assets until we reach that point.

With these risks in mind—what if I were to tell you that for the cost of administrative fees, these layers of “common-sense insurance” can be applied to any size stock portfolio, even on share investments worth north of $100 million? Well that’s what we’ve discovered and documented in “BulletProof Shares”!

We’ve been covering the ongoing collapse of the western financial system… and we’ve been adamant that there are two main ways to protect yourself and profit from the collapse… by owning gold and silver bullion and the miners who produce precious metals.

Owning gold and silver bullion will protect your assets… and owning shares in the miners will likely result in massive profits. However, this multi-generational profit opportunity will only present itself for those who can make it through the collapse with ownership of their shares intact.

Professional Testimonials

What Professional Newsletter Writers and Market Commentators Are Saying about “BulletProof Shares” – How To Protect Your Stocks From Broker Bankruptcy & Theft:

“Please do not sleep on my dear friends. If you do nothing, you may very well have nothing in the end…The material contained in here concerning the system and market events is correct, even though it proposes its own solution. I should know. I have owned brokerage and clearing houses. The answer lies, in my opinion, in going to direct registration at the transfer agent and out of the clearing agent and ultimately, where possible, to paper certificates. If the company you are invested in does not participate in direct registration and also does not issue paper certificates, raise hell with them.”

-Jim Sinclair, Publisher of JSMineset.com and CEO of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration, in a special email dispatch to JS Mineset readers made on 1/13/2012.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Q: My stocks are held in a retirement account–will I be able to use the methods you speak of in the report, and without paying taxes?
A: Yes. By using a self-directed retirement account administrator(two are recommended in the report) to help with the paperwork, you will be able to safely remove your stocks from in the financial system, and you should not be liable for capital gain taxes as you are not selling your shares–you are simply converting them to a different format and transferring their custodial location.

Q: I live outside the United States–can I still use the methods discussed in the report for my shares?
A: Yes. We recommend brokers who accommodate foreign investors, and we provide instructions in the report on how foreign investors can use the protection methods.

Q: I live Canada–can I still use the methods discussed in the report for my shares?
A: Yes.

Q: I own or want to own mutual funds and ETF’s. Can I use these methods to protect my investments in these vehicles?
A: No. Mutual funds and ETF’s do not offer direct registration protection to individual investors, or paper share certification. In our opinion these vehicles magnify counter party risks, and we do not advise owning them at this time.

Q: What are the methods you discuss in the report?
A: In BulletProof Shares we provide a detailed analysis of “street name registration”, “direct registration”, and “paper share certification” ownership methods.

Q: Can I learn about these methods on my own without purchasing the report?
A: Yes. Although the author of BulletProof Shares, Tekoa Da Silva, spend hundreds of hours collecting, organizing, and sorting through all the correct and incorrect information available on the market in writing this report. Additionally, he spoke with dozens of transfer agents, broker dealers, public companies, and even the SIPC. If you choose to go through the same process, you will encounter similar time commitments in order to obtain accurate information. The choice is yours.

Q: Why should I consider these methods when I can just move my shares to a safe brokerage?
A: Unfortunately, there are no safe broker dealers left in the West in our humble opinion. The safety of your brokerage account is limited to the moral reliability of the employees and senior management of the broker dealer holding your assets, and the banking institution your broker dealer works with. Both of these industries have been compromised, and the firms have lied over and over again to the public–in our estimation, the quest of finding a “safe-broker” may be akin to searching for the “best liar in town.” Would you eat at a restaurant whose delicious food always killed 10% of it’s guests? Is one delicious meal you can make on your own worth risking your life for? Trusting all your stock investments to broker dealers is foolish in our opinion, and as the wise saying goes, “a fool and his money are soon parted.”
