This could easily be a metaphor for the economic hurricane headed our way.<\/p>\n<p>Doppler radar enables us to watch the evolution of a hurricane and history tells us the most likely outcome. Peeking beneath the skin of the markets, along with 6,000 years of history does the same for the monetary system and it is quite clear, there is a financial hurricane headed our way.<\/p>\n<p>When a hurricane appears to be headed our way we have some choices; ignore the signs or get prepared. Which would most likely be in our best interest? We can \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hope\u00e2\u20ac\u009d it will not hit, but in reality, there is no stopping mother nature.<\/p>\n<p>Are you prepared for the upcoming financial storm?<\/p>\n<h4>SLIDES AND
