Empower Network Fights the Forces of Evil in San Diego
Tracey Walker is doing even better than what she talks about in the video below, as I just saw this weekend at the Empower Network Event in San Diego. In fact, this conference made me look at Empower Network in a new light. I had always seen the affiliate program and the huge presence and PR of the blog as a great way to generate leads for other primary businesses. After what I saw this weekend, I now believe it is a primary business on it’s own. Not only that, but the power line payout system generates more money for more people faster than anything else I have seen in the home business or MLM industry.
Over 90% of the 3,000 in attendance have made money from the program. Try that question with a raise of hands at any other home business meeting and the percentages would be reversed. That is why more and more heavy hitters are joining now. Big earners from top tier businesses, old school mlm, Internet marketing, and affiliate sales programs are piling in, because they see not only the success rate, but the ease of building a business structured this way. Haven’t you heard, more than once, that duplication is the key for others to have success along with you, and the skills required for Internet marketing are technically challenging and therefore not easy to duplicate? I was surprised to see that half of the MANY people on stage and/or making money had never done any Internet marketing before joining Empower Network. Now that they have added a product that will generate a $3000 commission, everyone’s earnings will double before Christmas.
Is Gold Money Again?
“The gold standard has one tremendous virtue: the quantity of the
money supply, under the gold standard, is independent of the policies
of governments and political parties. This is its advantage. It is a form
of protection against spendthrift governments.”
— Ludwig von Mises, from Economic Policy

On June 18, the Federal Reserve and FDIC circulated a letter to banks that proposes to harmonize US regulatory capital rules with Basel III. BASEL III is an accord that tells a bank how much capital it must hold to safeguard its solvency and overall economic stability. It’s a global standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk.Here’s the important bit:At the top of the proposed changes is the new list of “zero-percent risk weighted items,” which now includes “gold bullion,” right after “cash.
That’s the part to take notice of.If the proposals are approved by regulators — and that seems likely since adoption of Basel III will be — then this is a momentous change for the gold market. Now banks will be allowed to hold bullion in their vaults and count it among their Tier 1 assets — in other words, the least risky assets.That by itself would be bullish for the gold price, as banks that recognize gold’s unique characteristics seek to stockpile more of it.
But that’s not the whole story…Gold Regains Money Status For one thing, Basel III also stipulates that a bank’s Tier 1 holdings must rise from 4% of assets to 6%.That means that banks may not only replace a portion of their existing paper with bullion, but may use it to meet some of the extra 2% as well.In addition, this vote of confidence from the highest monetary authorities gives further impetus to the remonetization of gold.
In essence, what’s happening is that from now on gold will be considered “money” in virtually the same way as cash or bonds.And banks will be given the choice between holding more of their core assets in history’s most reliable store of value vs. paper backed by nothing more than the promises of increasingly wasteful governments. Finally, there is the impact on individual and institutional investors. Jeff Clark, in Casey Research’s BIG GOLD newsletter, has been guiding gold investors for years. In his view, this news looks set to really shake up the gold market, because as regulators and banks increasingly view gold as having safety on a par with the various paper alternatives, it is logical that they will also see the need to beef up their own holdings.There are a number of positives for gold going forward. Though it remains speculation on our part, we believe that the net result of Basel III and associated adjustments to US regulations will be an increased recognition of gold’s safe-haven status across all markets. And that translates into higher global demand for the metal next year, and a concomitant increase in its price.If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to get informed on gold and begin adding it to your portfolio.
