Why are so many people talking about this “Biggest Market Crash in History” that is on the way? Every time I turn around I am hearing another story about this. Individual financial “storms” are brewing in the Unites States, and around the world. On their own, each of these problems would be of serious concern. However, bringing them together at the same time could be devastating.
Is Mike Dillard’s Elevation Group something that will be able to address these issues? Let’s examine the issues a little further and see.
I am sure you have heard that Baby-Boomers are going to be starting to retire this year, right? This year, in 2011, Baby-Boomers will be starting to turn the retirement age of 65. From this point forward, 1,000 people will be reaching their age of retirement.
The primary investment vehicles of the Baby-Boomer generation are 401K and IRA plans. The goal of these investment plans, like the 401k, was to provide a fix for the dying pension plan. Employees were given the choice to either supply funds for their retirement, taking some of the burden from the companies.
What is the big deal with that?
How many average employee’s are actually that experienced when it come to stock market investing? In most cases, a financial advisor will be hired to give them advice that they will follow to the “T”.
Why would that not be a good thing?
I would say yes, if more advisors actually knew what they were doing, and had the time to teach them to be good investors. The sad fact is that most financial advisors are salespeople before they are investors. Count on hearing key statements like “diversify your investments” and “invest for the long haul”.
Why would these phrases be anything but good, sound advice?
This is true if the market is gaining strength in what is called a “bull market”. The stock market has it’s times of strength and weakness. Only experienced investors know how to prepare for both.
We have all heard that you can count on the market going up of time right?
When stocks are being bought, prices go up. When shares of the stock market have an excess of supply, the price will go down.
There is a small catch. All of that deferred tax has an expiration date. At 65, you must begin to cash in 6% of your 401k on a yearly basis.
Remember what happens to stock that is being sold and in excess supply? What affect will 73,000,000 baby boomers selling their stocks every year, have on a market? You guessed it. Share values begin to drop, right along with the value of all of those 401k plans!
In an effort to protect your money, wouldn’t you sell your stocks if you knew they were losing value on a daily basis?
Share of stock would be sold faster than they could be bought, perpetuating the problem. This could easily spark the Greatest Stock Market Crash in History!
The Biggest Wealth Transfer In History will be underway, and you are going to want to make sure you are on the winning end of it.
Has Mike Dillard provided answers to these problems alone with many other brewing storms? The Elevation Group has bee created by Mike, to supply everyday people like you and I with the answers to these looming questions. This Massive wealth transfer could be the best thing that every happened to any of us!
Will you be one of the few who come out on top?

I’m sorry, there is just no such thing as a wimpy Viking warrior. It simply doesn’t happen. Some costumes kind of aid you in being someone you what to be like. Not So with a Viking Warrior costume, it simply lets the caged animal out! And if you’re a woman it doesn’t take long for the real you to become apparent in what you do and what you say. Strong, sensible, domineering and Right every time! Yea, I wish it was that way too, but here’s the thing. Wearing a either a Viking Warrior costume or a Viking Princess costume is, for sure, one fun way to enter a party, or any other event and people expect you to be the life of the party.

Are you ready to look for the smallest of details in your surroundings? That’s what happens when you wear a Sherlock costume. It’s the funniest thing, people who never really noticed much that was around them all of the sudden become super alert and see what everyone else is missing. You may even want to put on your costume the next time you misplace you glasses or your car keys. Is that what really happens? You ask? Why of course, you can’t help yourself. When you portray yourself as the greatest detective in history it only stands to reason that you will see everything in a new way. Just to play it safe though, you may want to find someone who can keep track of you before you get lost in your next case.

There is a mystique and an attraction inherent in any man that only has his brute strength and his wits to keep him alive and yet he does it time and time again. Admiration in its purest form is that of someone who fights insurmountable odds and yet comes out the victor. For a Roman Gladiator this was daily life. You may not be in a coliseum with thousands of people looking on, but you have had plenty of times when you only had your strength and your wits to keep you alive and you did it. You can wear your Roman Gladiator costume with pride because you’ve earned it. I don’t care if you are a man or a woman, you made it and you can treat yourself to it.

Playing the part of a Nymph by dressing in a Nymph costume places you in a unique roll. A Nymph, according to Greek Mythology, was seldom-if ever- someone who was very strong and powerful. They were, on the other hand, quite naturally beautiful and attractive. A Nymph wanted to be a help to you in whatever way you needed help and were not limited to being in the woodlands, Nymphs also lived in the ocean. Nymphs interacted with men as well as with the gods where ever they lived and there was always passion and romance surrounding them. It’s a small wonder that the soft alluring look of a Nymph is popular with young ladies; ladies that are not wielding a powerful or forceful candor but rather that of passive irresistible attraction.

Merlin the magician is a character that is larger than life, capable of harnessing the vast powers of the universe to help rid the world of evil. If there was ever a noble reason to wear a Merlin costume that is it. With the stroke of his wand, the forces of good go to work to thwart the evil doer and begin to change the course of history. Merlin is as fearless as he is powerful and is always dressed for the occasion. Yea, I know I sort of switched the flow a little there but since we are talking about costumes I thought it wise to get back to the point. It’s Halloween time and no costume party is complete without someone being “The Wizard.” Have fun and eat your chocolate sensibly.

Little did we know when “Tales from the Crypt” came along that we would have so much fun getting scared? There are a lot of different ways to get a good adrenalin rush and I think one of the safest way is to watch some good and scary. A nice dark room, a bowl of popcorn, and someone in a mummy costume walking up behind you. Almost gives me the creeps just thinking about how easy it would be to scare someone that way. You would do well having a Halloween mummy costume on hand just for those, “Special Moments” when you can plan a party and crash it in your costume. Don’t carry it to far though because it all for fun.
