Part II - Guide to Navigating the Coming Crisis
Illuminating the future is our job, and we take it seriously.
The unfolding Egyptian situation provides a perfect analogy for what I see coming to the developed world. During times of massive change, it is most important to have a clear-eyed view, few limiting beliefs, and a reliable framework to help you decode rapidly emerging events.
What we do here at Martenson Central is deliver both up-to-the-minute information-scouting services and a framework through which those events and information can be interpreted.
Knowing what is likely to happen and having a solid framework for understanding those events provides emotional relief, removes uncertainty, and allows for crisper and more effective decisionmaking that can make you safer and even wealthier. These benefits are not speculation on our part; they are directly drawn from comments and feedback we've received from our members over the past several years.
The Crash Course is the foundation of that framework, which illuminates the main predicament as an inherent conflict between the currently evolved types of economic and monetary systems and looming resource scarcity, especially of oil.
Your faithful information scout,
Chris Martenson

At the acknowledged risk of sounding cultish and appearing to be a bootlicker; I must say:
THAT was the single BEST summation/analysis of our situation that I have ever seen/read/heard/watched on the internet in the last 18 months. By far your best report to date...

Awesome report as usual, Dr. Chris. Thank you for all your excellent work!
Request clarification regarding "Get out of the stock markets." Does this include avoiding stocks of companies relating to energy such as oil & gas services, exploration & production? Are you suggesting instead to hold the commodities (oil, gas, other natural resources) themselves in one form or another?
By the way I agree with Rector. This was a great summary of all the relevant issues & concerns in one place!
As said by others, a great report.
As a question, once this game is up (the inflation game that is), could we then see deflationary pressures given that the money oumps are working hard to keep the boat afloat?
Bravo! A tour de force.
I, too, wonder what should be done about exposure to oil through equities. I acknowledge that there is general market risk when doing so but the alternatives also present problems. Oil ETFs? No, thank you...

To clarify my position on stocks and bonds...the key here is the phrase "in aggregate." If the entire market for stocks, and/or bonds, derives a goodly portion of its rpesent value on the assumption of growth, then without growth, that portion of the value will go away...
