The 'Big Reset' Is Coming: Here Is What To Do
A week ago, Zero Hedge first presented the now viral presentation by Raoul Pal titled "The End Game." We dubbed the presentation scary because it was: in very frank terms it laid out the reality of the current absolutely unsustainable situation while pulling no punches. Yet some may have misread the underlying narrative: Pal did not predict armageddon. Far from it: he forecast the end of the current broken economic, monetary, and fiat system... which following its collapse will be replaced with something different, something stable. Which, incidentally, is why the presentation was called a big "reset", not the big "end." But what does that mean, and how does one protect from such an event? Luckily, we have another presentation to share with readers, this time from Eidesis Capital, given at the Grant's April 11 conference, which picks up where Pal left off. Because if the Big Reset told us what is coming, Eidesis tells us how to get from there to the other side...
First of all, what is systemic risk?
Typical Systemic Risks:
- Wide-spread defaults, sovereign debt crises, devaluations, capital controls, bank holidays, etc.
How it usually happens:
- No warning;
- Emergency announcement over a weekend;
- Drastic measures to “protect the public” against [insert suitable culprits];
- Outcome- someone’s value gets expropriated.
Yes, it can happen here –it has in the past.
Usually, the best warning indicator of a major systemic "event" are soaring cross-asset correlations: something we are experiencing right now.
- Crisis of 2007-2009 was a “High Correlation” disruption:
- Multiple institutions and majority of the population were affected.
- Reducing systemic risk called for lowering correlation, i.e. “firebreaks”, de-coupling, etc.
- Instead, governments’actions since 2008 have been increasing correlation:
- Fiscal Policies –sovereign debts are higher than ever and still growing fast;
- Monetary Policies –broken price mechanism = system-wide misallocations and mispricings;
- Too-Big-To-Fail –bigger than before the crisis;
- Euro Zone Crisis –“solutions” keep increasing interconnectedness – a “mutual suicide” pact;
- Financial Regulation –was supposed to reduce the risk but stalled through stiff opposition:
- A single JP Morgan trader is reported to run $100 bln CDS book?!?!?!?!?! [ZH: now confirmed, and we all know the story since]
- Lack of Transparency –more opacity since the crisis; mark-to-market remains suspended.
Everyone knows this but only few are willing to accept the implications; fewer still are willing to act.
What are the key systemic risks:
- The already unfolding crises:
- The Euro zone, Argentina.
- Redistribution of wealth:
- ZIRP –Taking from net savers for the benefit of net debtors.
- Inflation targeting –Debasing debts at the expense of savers and bond holders.
- Pending tax hikes for top earners.
- Financial Marshall law:
- FBAR and FATCA raise penalties and tighten reporting on all financial assets held offshore.
- Argentina –Currency controls; “Dollar-sniffing”dogs at the airports and border crossings.
- Governments co opt banks to police the assets within the system:
- FATCA - all foreign financial institutions to report on all US customers or face 30% withholding.
- Swiss banks have been firing US clients; deal on reporting is inthe works.
- Swiss banks have agreed to report on their German and UK customers’accounts.
FINANCIAL REPRESSION IS AN ARRAY OF POLICY TOOLS THAT PRECLUDE CAPITAL FLIGHT AND ENABLE WEALTH TRANSFER FROM THE SAVERS TO THE DEBTORS
What to look for:
- There are always losers and winners –many more losers than winners.
- Majority has “normalcy bias” – tendency to underestimate risk of disaster.
- Only a few heed the risks and make proper contingency arrangements.
- Historically, financial disaster preparedness has enabled accelerated wealth creation.
Systemic Insurance is the only way to protect wealth from “High Correlation” events.
But more than anything, the one biggest giveaway is near endless complacency: the more the pros exhibit it, the closer we are:
- Western economies have enjoyed V-shaped recoveries and domestic peace for over 65 years.
- Mainstream investors have never experienced a “reset” or repression, financial or political.
- Disdain for history and post-WWII Western exceptionalismunderpin collective hubris:
- "There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance.Past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of the those who do not have insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present.” - John K. Galbraith
Complacency is misplaced – despite apparent normality, the risks are high and growing.
One simple example of the true cost of systemic risks in vitro:
- Analyze This: Crisis of September 2008 Without The Bailouts = ? $$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$
What's the big deal: they bailed us out before, they will do it again.
Wrong: "Due to massive new debts and politics governments’ capacity for future bailouts is limited."
Which means that systemic hedges should be used by everyone. At what cost though:
- Price of Systemic Insurance = Probability of Disruption X Potential Loss Severity
As Eidesis notes: Insurance is cheap whenever consensus under?estimates the Probability of Disruption.
Or, worse, when the status quo is artificially keeping the price of systemic insurance low to prevent the general public from realizing just how precarious reality truly is. Remember:
- "When it becomes serious, you have to lie" Jean-Claude Junker
So if we are handed cheap insurance options, where should we be looking? Long-time Zero Hedge readers likely already know the answer:
SAFE HAVEN ASSETS –KEY REQUIREMENTS
- Ideal Attributes – Valuable, uniform, divisible, portable, storable.
- No One’s Liability–Physical form, unlevered, non-financial custody; no reliance on capital markets.
- Multiple Exit Strategies – Diversity of buyers; ability to exit via different currencies.
- Geographic Diversification ? The only feasible way to manage sovereign risks.
- Flexibility – Ownership arrangements must be actively managed to address evolving conditions
Exposure to Safe Haven assets via financial instruments IS NOT Systemic Insurance
SAFE HAVEN ASSETS –DEFENSIVE, LONG TERM STRATEGY
- Proven Safe Havens for preserving value through the “trough” of a crisis:
- Real Estate – “Real” but immovable; not uniform, usually owned with leverage; easily taxable.
- Diamonds – Valuable, portable and storable but neither uniform nor divisible.
- Art, Antiques, Collectables – Issues with subjective valuations, authenticity and provenance.
ART, ANTIQUES AND COLLECTABLES HAVE BEEN PROVEN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN PRESERVING VALUE OVER TIME. HOWEVER, ABILITY TO OBTAIN FAIR VALUE IN TIMES OF DISTRESS IS OFTEN LIMITED.
Which leaves...
- Precious Metals can preserve value through a crisis AND provide liquidity during a crisis:
- Silver–“Poor Man’s Gold” but impractical for large sums.
- Platinum –The bullion is not as readily available as gold.
- Palladium –Somewhat esoteric.
GOLD –Always liquid, widely available, universally accepted, deepest markets, global pricing
Gold – 2,500-year unbroken track record of liquidity and “Safe Haven” performance.
But don't take our word for it... Or that of Eidesis. How about that of... the Federal Reserve:
Here is the FRBNY explaining why people own gold:
- “For centuries, gold had a profound impact on history, as a symbol and a storehouse of wealth accepted universally around the world.“
- “When people are worried about political instability, war or inflation, they often put their savings into gold.”
- “Gold functions as a medium of exchange, particularly in areas where currencies are distrusted.”
Why the US government nationalized gold:
- The 1933 prohibition against gold ownership “prevented hoarders from profiting after Congress devalued the dollar (in terms of gold)”by 41%.
ACCORDING TO THE NY FED –GOLD IS A “PHENOMENAL ASSET” AND AN “IMPORTANT STORE OF VALUE”
GOLD NATIONALIZATION OF 1933 PRECLUDED THE SAVERS FROM PROTECTING THE VALUE OF THEIR ASSETS
What else does the Fed tell us:
THE FED –WE STORE FOR OTHERS; OUR OWN IS OUTSIDE THE BANKS!
- “As of early 2008, the Fed’s vault contained roughly 216 million troy ounces of gold“–“about 22 percent of the world’s official monetary gold reserves.”
- “The United States owns approximately 27 percentof the monetary gold”–“262 million troy ounces as of 2007.”
- “A majority of [the U.S.] reserves is held <…> at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and West Point, New York. Most of the remainder is at the Denver and Philadelphia Mints and the San Francisco Assay Office.”
WATCH WHAT THEY DO; NOT WHAT THEY SAY:
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STORES ITS GOLD WITH THE MILITARY, NOT THE BANKS.
APPROXIMATELY 49% OF ALL MONETARY GOLD IS PHYSICALLY LOCATED ON THE U.S. SOIL.
Which means that as we approach the date with the Grand Reset which Raoul Pal predicted could come as soon as the end of the year, and which Soros has as under 3 months and counting, there is only one question:

I had plenty of insurance until I had an unfortunate boating accident. Now it's at the bottom of a river.
Lucky bastard. Mine's out in the Gulf of Mexico somewhere.

Gee that's awful. What river did you say that was again?
Considering the skyrocketing instances of boating accidents as mentioned on the 'Hedge, I'm thinking of buying a dredge. All I need is a rolling enrollment of 5% non-voting partners, and I'll do the work of inventorying the pm's and firearms.

Too many people chose The Matrix. Very few want a reset that could involve reality
The bailouts are given. THAT is reality. NOT that i am complaining about ya' all's "purity of thought" in these here parts...m'kay?! Now "here's how the deal goes down":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnepPZChA5U&feature=player_detailpage
you see...it's always been a WORD GAME people. THAT'S ALL THAT'S HAPPENED HERE FOR TWO PHUCKING YEARS RUNNING NOW!
No, actually to many people don't even realize they are in the matrix. They don't know they have a choice, just the illusion of one such as republican versus democrat.
The stupid fux love The Matrix (TV and Hollywoods shit). You cannot even get them to pull the plug which is the elites source of power. I bet 80% of the people posting here still watch TV and enable the oligarches like dumb fukkking sheep/serfs.
The political & bankers class need a reset also.
Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the 'hidden' confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights." Alan Greenspan
Gold silver food guns good knives and if you live up north channel stuff hats. Jason Vorhees is not going to blob up from behind every tree to chop you up but when you cant regulate body temperature you will develop hypothermia and die.
Keep your core temperature stable. Go out in the middle of winter and just try to load 3 or 4 magazines. After a short time it gets awful hard. Add to that the stress of combat when all your blood leaves your extremities and goes to your brain it's almost impossible to load let alone shoot accurately.
And don't forget water. Gotta have lots of water.
Wish I could afford a monster box before the great rush.

"Three hours exposure"
Except if you fall in to a body of (cold) water...
@jumbo maverick
You bring up a good point I'll bet many survivalists in warmer climes may not have yet considered...
If the crash/collapse happens during winter - there will be hoards of northern folks up to no good rushing south to loot/plunder/rape and take whatever they can get, any way they can get it. This will be in addition to what they would have to deal with locally.
The South is actually more dangerous. I think that there's generally more rioting in the warmer climates of the US. It's easier to live without shelter, which attracts wanderers . The Northern climates are not as habitable, especially not in the winter. Harvesting and prepping food for winter storage is also more common in those areas.
I'd just add that having some set up/system and means to securely and most importantly discreetly store and keep safe said "Systemic Insurance" is as valuable as the Systemic Insurance itself.
This is a great point for anyone considering storing systemic insurance themselves. Are there any security expert ZHers that have recommendations on how best to protect such insurance?
I'm pretty comfortable with my knowledge, having been to Liberia Africa, Sarajevo Yugoslavia and Kuwait/ Iraq while in the Marine Corps . John Mosby at mountainguerrilla.blogspot has a lot of good defense info and he offers classes.
I'll take a fridge full of silver over a shoe box full of gold any day. !!!!
I hope the fridge is on the 1st floor.
Now it is!
I'm going to the store and buying some Huggies. Because I'll be packing those suckers like crazy.
This is going to be some scary shit.
You may laugh but toilet paper and diapers go pretty damn fast in a panic.
Stock up on tobacco and whisky for trading if you truly believe things are gonna go tango upsilon. Hell, I made more headway through the sand with cartons of Marlboros than anything else.
I wonder how many here are stocking up on gold and have medical conditions? Or their family? How much prescription meds do you have stockpiled? Any diabetics in the house? Seriously, this stuff cracks me up. "I got gold and guns and bullets blah blah... *gack* forgot my nitro pills *THUD*"
honestly, most American families cannot afford to stockpile meds, insurance will only cover a limited supply. so many accept this fact, and just do what they can to get their family preparred. I know, I have no thyroid. lost it to cancer right after my oldest daughter was born. She is six now. I will be one of the "thuds" you hear.
I make sure my wife always keeps at least a 3 month supply of synthroid any longer than that we are all fucked
same here...the problem runs into when you are at the 2 1/2 point, and the insurance will not fill early. my prayers that your flight be not during "winter" in your medication pattern. (or mine! lol)
did you see greece? the medication situation? they say after collapse reset takes about 8 weeks...what if collapse takes 3 months, or longer?
Like i said
I'm not pleased with that option, but thanks all the same. I figure when I get to my "safe zone" I wait for the looting to began, the crazies will go for what they can get high on...I will clean up what i need to live....hunter gatherer rules will prevail...the cops will not work without a paycheck!
"hunter gatherer rules will prevail..." It's a financial collapse, not the end of civilization. People in the boonies won't even notice.
"People in the boonies won't even notice."
I suspect that the ones you're thinking of are very few in number.
But, it WILL be the end of "civilization," as "civilization" can be best described as being city-structures, and it will be cities that puke (because cities contain no real resources, requiring importation from rural areas).
Costco only charges about $10 for 100 of the generic ones (levothyroxin?). Surely you can afford a year's supply. Walmart isn't much more.
Think about maxi pads which also double as pressure bandages for wounds.
Now that's an honest assessment, and one many of us will experience.

Gold, by default, needs not do anything to become valued as everything.
It doesn't need to produce, pay a dividend or interest. It doesn't need to be insured or guaranteed.
It doesn't need to be recapitalized, funded or rated AAA.
It just has to be.
Gold has value because it is, it has value because it is MONEY. We are going through the process of investors coming to the realization that their monies are really not money at all. These monies are chits. They are loans/IOU's to pay more of the same and more of the same and even more of the same. Gold needs not promise anything. It's one and only promise is that it is pure and will hold it's value over the long term. Isn't that what everyone wants and will want even more when they understand that the current system is fucked and the money is counterfeit?
Do you not think that investors, once they fully understand that their investments are denominated in in fake currency will want out as fast as possible?
Do you see that governments far and wide are taking actions that can only expose their currencies as the fakes that they are?
This is easy logic if you put your mainstream media blinders on!

Inflation is worth far more than gold to the FED.
Grandma once told me "you can't get blood out of a turnip". If bread becomes $10 or more per loaf, don't you think a blackmarket will develop? of course, the situation you see played out in the ghetto everyday, with drugs...will find its way into the affluent areas (well, the ones that are not burned to the ground for being too affluent. and I do mean to the ground...who is paying the fire fighters? The unions are Obama's lap dogs! tell me, does he want the "transfer of wealth"? does he want "social justice" ?)
the fed is the creator of inflation, it is their product.
also known as devaluation.
from tylerss great interview with chris martenson in december 2010 on what to do when it all comes down:
And aside from such unpleasant “survivalist” thoughts, we can only recommend, as we have been doing on Zero Hedge for nearly two years, that readers purchase as many hard assets as they can. Anything that Ben Bernanke will dilute by printing, he will; this we are certain of. Which is why purchasing precious metals, hard assets, non-perishable supplies, arable land, and means to protect the above four, is probably the best advice we can give to anyone.......
now tyler, that sure sounds like we should be concerned about more than a simple reset :).........

thanks for digging that up. I was thinking back about it too.
One of the greatest assets will be knowlege and skills that have, except for the most recent period of history, always been necessary. Topping the list is how to grow, diversify and preserve food with nothing more than the natural elements and how to recognize and harvest wild food sources.
I cannot see any type of reset that causes the dollar to have the reserver currency status removed and the standard of living in the U.S. drop fast in a matter of hours not causing significant problems.

how much water should I have stock piled
i live by myself in an apt
also what's the deal with palladium I bought when it was like $300 sold most at $720 got a couple oz don't know if I should hold onto them or not, advice
Spring for a high grade portable water filter system- Silver people understand- Palladium not so much. Better to hold long-term food, liquor, canned cigs (Bugler), heat source materials. These people know about in times of crisis. Gold, yes. Silver, yes. gun powder- copper- brass- ammo definitely... Palladium... regular folk... not so much...
good advice thank you I got the water filter covered but could diversify my barter items. I had no idea they made canned cigarettes! brilliant
I thought you liked the waterbed idea?

Northwest territorial mint has a product of small silver bars/rounds you can buy. Comes in a package looks like a rolled up sandbag. You can purchase 1/2, 1/4oz etc pieces of silver and they even say in the literature that it is for barter. Just brilliant. I did not get a chance to sit down and see if it is cost effective but whomever at that company brainstormed that product line outta get a big raise.

Your present DNA structure will become the only thing that saves your ass. Don't take my word for it, watch it unfold in realtime.
Who's to say that your land won't be repossessed?
Heck, they could even do that right now using Eminent domain.
The end is going to be a bunch of defaults and debt forgiveness. I doubt it'll be the end of the world. Just saying.
That's what it seems like to me. What's the crisis if you just don't pay it back--or pay back cents on the dollar? Every country is racing to deflate anyhow.. so it's pointless.
No, it won't be the end of the world, but I would be careful about over-minimizing it. Cascading defaults would eventually wipe out all pensions, all retirement accounts, and any new borrowing of any kind at the personal, corporate and sovereign levels for a not inconsequential length of time. The very existence of most major currencies would be threatened, and the dollar would almost certainly lose its reserve status, which opens up a whole new host of interesting outcomes.
At the very least we would be facing a temporary but intense strain on the supply chain and in my opinion we could see a serious interruption. A 3 day interruption is enough to spark chaos and riots. 2 weeks and major urban areas begin going feral, if not sooner. It won't be the end of the world for humanity, but it will be for a lot of people.
And if that doesn't convince you, consider the fact that hundreds, if not thousands, of bankers would be at risk of losing their bonuses, support staff, company cars, and seaside villas. Why, dozens of politicians may be forced to perform menial jobs in exchange for food and drink. Do you not have a heart? Are you an animal?
Have you noticed the "eat the rich" sentiment brewing in the streets? hey...does anyone know anything about the rocket launchers that disappeared from Libya, that have begun to surface in Mexico? I wonder...what happened to the bulk of those? hmmmm...
Hence my belief in the MASS ARRESTS and the virtual dissolution of the illegitimate, criminal federal government. You don't really believe the U.S. military can continue much longer without taking decisive action... do you?
Yes. It will not be the end of THE world, but rather the end of THIS (financial) world. Bad for some (those who have invited the karmic retribution...ahem, banksters), good for many.
After all, are we not men?
It seems our favourite tragicomedian from Brussels believe in this systemic insurance aswell.

The "reset" can happen WITHOUT all the drama.
Just "imagine" away sovereign debt.
A "paper" cure for "paper" losses.
Besides, if ALL the world is "indebted", who is going to pay who, back? Who do we owe money to?
Yah think? There have been 3,800 Fiat currencies that shit the bed, I can't recall one that wasn't a living hell.
well the people who have been paying towards their retirement, their whole working life, kinda think they're owed a return.
It's not PAPER that's dying, it's what it REPRESENTS. And what it represents is a claim on the future, on future resources, and it's pretty clear that the future does NOT have the necessary resources for which there are claims against. Ditch the paper, but there's still the little issue of the resources... What this means in simple terms is this: the System is NOT sustainable.
Yes, it can happen here

No, it's just you. Welcome to the new Internet. Google spies on you, saves what you search for and shares this information with advertisers.
I had my share of annoyance with this, too - checked out out the rates on some checking accounts recently (by making a Google search) and was promptly served a banner (on an unrelated site) that read, in big letters: "So, looking for a new bank account?"
Creeps.
There are things you can do about that; they mostly involve banning Google, Bing and the like from your life. Find a crappy old search engine. Get into Tor (look it up) if you're not averse to some extra steps.
Otherwise, just add some more porn and Frank Zappa and Hunter S. Thompson to your searches. Maybe the spooks will have a good time or learn something.

Silver is not the poor man's gold. 1000 FRNs of silver cost the same amount as 1000 FRNs of gold.
Try carrying 1000 FRNs of silver then try carrying 1000 FRNs of gold then you tell me what you'd rather have sewn into the hems of your pants.
Not to worry. The loyal, patriotic TSA employee will find either one, even if you have them shoved up your butt.
damn, I gotta crap now.
Hidden in garments? Gold of course. I didn't say anything about the other relative characteristics. It's just a stupid expression. As if silver is somehow cheaper than gold. It is for the same mass, not for a set amount of currency to buy it. What the expression implies is that a poor man can only afford silver. Usually a person does not say, "I'm going to buy 5 ounces today, I can't afford 5 ounces of gold so I'll buy 5 ounces of silver." What they say is "I have so much currency available, what can I buy? A smaller amount of easily transportable gold? Or a larger amount of silver for making small transactions?"
I hear the weight of that fake Chinese gold is indistinguishable from the real stuff. Nothing like sewing fake gold into your pants.

Fundamentals of debt and fiat currency worsen by the day, dont pay attention to spot just think long term when the dollar will be something to wipe your ass with when we run out of TP
Its the "paper" dump y'all! Get ready...this is where the ride gets goooooood! arms up, eyes open!...WWWHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE
(markets will fall then seperate out, paper from physical)
I saw in the NY Times a line in an article summarizing the day's events in Europe that stated something close to: "Because most trading is done by central banks and electronic hedge fund programs, experts advised against reading much about investor sentiment from the latest market movements." I went back to swipe it to re-post here as evidence of the official End of Capitalism according to the newspaper of record...but that line was deleted from the article. I shit y'all not. The hilarity of it all.
Nothing shocks anyone anymore... that is why the satellites will be SHUT DOWN for a week after the mass arrest take place. The only thing on T.V. for a week will be 24/7 coverage of Obama, Brenanke, and the rest of the federal cabal in chains and leg irons. That will get people attention both at home and abroad.

Rand Paul endorses Mitt Romney..Sell out!
you vill join da new vorld orda...or ve villl destroy you!
That just sucks. Pure and simple.
Who do you want him to support, Obama? There are going to be two names on the ballot this November. You can sit home and help elect Prom King again or you can hold your nose and go
vote for the better of the two choices.
Rand is mature enough to understand that.
That's what makes him a leader.
Or you can write in his dad, a real leader.
You're so cool.
Look at Rand's face. Listen to his voice. He did not mean a word of that.
Not to get all tin-foil hat on y'all, but I think Rand was given some kind of ultimatum. This just isn't believable to me.
I smell a VP bid.
what part of "career Republican" is difficult to understand?
sellout. now he has just lost all credibility! when mittens the kitten just rolled over and complained about cookies, while ted nugent was being jackbooted.....people decided this little marie antoinette of a cupcake was not leader material. despite what the "elites" say...that is what people feel. hes no strong leader...he is a strong stench! (yea, BO stinks worse...but still, no one will sit next to mittens on the bus!)
Chill teabunny, You're sounding like and angry Lib. I know, they should never have done that to Hillary.
Just another distraction from real issue: oath fakers vs. oath keepers. The entire federal criminal cabal is about to be arrested and the federal government virtually dissolved. I expect the military to install Ron Paul temporarily until legit elections with legit candidates can be held. http://tinyurl.com/cd5cyjo/
