Dear Readers
Hope you all had an amazing weekend.
As talks progress with Brussels, Frankfurt & Athens... The Greek economy is presented with now 2 options :
- Leave the Euro, defaulting on it's debt & starting again with the Drachma;
OR
- Find a new "bailout" agreement from the ECB (heavily supported by German Euros) & continue operating with their high level of debts.
If Greece do leave the Euro, The markets will ask who is next? As this event could create a cascade of defaults across the EU. Spain, Ireland, Portugal or even Italy... Causing mass scale crashes in the EU banking systems - possibly bankrupting Governments.
In reality... will the ECB let this happen?.... Maybe so....
Draghi reduced interest rates back in 2012 to prevent this very occurrence. However, Unemployment rates still remain at peaks greater than the recession.. Spain at 24%, Greece 26%, France 10.5%... To me this is not a Crisis but verging onto a depression..
Looking at the EU as a whole... many economic disparities are noticeable... For example, Ireland's main trading partners are the UK & the USA... Vs. Finland's main trading partner being Sweden. The formation of the Euro was based on a Political foundation rather than an Economic one.
This structural formation of the Eurozone has been the main creator of the issues faced within the EU. Outsourcing ones monetary policies to Brussels have left countries like Ireland, Portugal, Greece & Spain totally incapable of controlling their economies & promoting internal recoveries.... Then what happens? ... FDI drops... Foreign Investors start pulling out their money and start investing in developing nations, where yields over time are more promising.
Just today, Norway's biggest hedge fund announced a new tranche of investment into South Asian property.
Ladies & Gentlemen - we have now a Currency crisis.
For years now, Frankfurt & Brussels have been trying to counter-act this by currency devaluation in certain countries - so you have lower wages & internal devaluations - but the countries debt is still priced the same.
What happens now?
Theoretically, Greece can escape their debt burden... A possible sequence :
1. They default on all their debts;
2. Forces Greek banks to buy Greek bonds;
3. It has Greek banks sell their bonds back to the ECB - therefore putting the ECB in line for paying back Greek debt...
If the ECB agrees to this, it means the Greeks have escaped their debt burdens..
But why would the ECB buy Greek debt?
Would it not be economically cheaper for them to #Grexit?
More fiscal support is not supported by the Northern EU nations....
Keep it fresh guys
- Peace & Love

RISK WARNING! Did you read the Terms & Conditions?
To my Amazing readers
As I send out my morning batch of client emails... I pay attention to the "HIGH RISK INVESTMENT WARNING" from my disclaimer.
Warren Buffet said "Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing".... (think about it)!
You would of seen these on any reputable Broker site... & of course, being authorised by the FCA we are required to put it on all of our communication.
Have you ever thought what drives the human mind towards "High Risk Investments"?.... What is it? Why do we want to throw our hard-earned money into stuff that is not certain?..
I personally think, especially in Men... it is in our nature to be THE BOSS & in doing so, we have been taught to take risks & put all of our cards on the table...
From what I have seen...
Most get burned....
A few get lucky...
What do you do after this stage?... U know once the experimental phase has finished... Do you continue on your path of these "High Risk Investments"... or do you give up? How does one define risk?.... How badly do you want to get rich?
For decades we have seen these speakers... promoting pyramid schemes (all in fact to hit sales targets)... prey on this human want to be more than they are... Even though we know we are taking the risk.... What actually drives us to take these risks?
In my view, everyone with ambition... does not want to settle for less... BUT there is a lot of bullshit out there & people need to be guided along the right path... The truth is with the internet out there... there is no reason to not be SELF-SUFFICIENT.
Read about success stories.... REAL success stories... Study great people & take little bits from them... Combine all of this greatness into your own mission... Tupac said.. "Study great people, until they are no longer great to you".... Osho said "Knowledge is all borrowed, and is there to be internalised for ones growth"
We need to start thinking ourselves!
Success comes when you are ONE STEP outside of your comfort zone!
Let's get it people..
Peace & Love

Turning nothing into SOMETHING...
Dear Beautiful Reader
Life dealing you bad cards? Frustrated with everything not going to plan...?
Damn!
We have all been there & believe me I know how it feels to be right at the bottom.... but the funny thing about the bottom is that there is only one direction to go... (sort of a cheesy cliche, but hey! it's the truth)
I truly believe in positive energy & the power of spreading energy from person to person. I feel this is a trait all human beings are born with... The great yogi's of the East constantly spoke about channeling energy & meditated for decades - with the view of finding their "chi".....
We are all born with this power.
See the positive possibilities around you.... Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination....
This is only the beginning!
Every morning my day starts at £0 revenue... but it does not end that way! We turn nothing into something from Energy.... & Sales is a function of this transfer.... Our ability to communicate & deliver the right messages to people.
(as the blog goes on... I will share my real life experiences of Energy & how I have learned to channel positivity within myself & to those around me... it is truly infectious)
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair.
Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
Positivity Breeds Positivity....
.... You may be thinking... Where do I start looking for this energy?
It is inside of you!!!!!
If you don't believe me - Clap your hands! Shout! Scream! Jump up & down 10 times!
You have the power to create POSITIVE ENERGY!

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
On that note guys..... Peace & Love...
Remember to stay true to yourself!
