My Predictions On the Upcoming War... (Free Picks Included)

Well I had a very interesting discussion last week on wars...and that was in a bar, so I figured I'd keep going I guess.  I could talk about North Korea but I'd rather talk about a different possible war.  I started off believing that only athletes and musicians "make it rain" and usually in dimly lit places :)

At Urbanomics, we don't leave you out in the cold, here is a quick definition from URBANDICTIONARY.COM:

Make It Rain: When you're in the club with a stack, and you throw the money up in the air... The effect is that it seems to be raining money. 

Then, I learned about Central Bankers around the world and their endless access to cash and they put guys like Lil Wayne, Adam 'Pacman' Jones, and P. Diddy to shame.  Central Bankers (around the world) are the equivalent to the US version of Ben Bernanke, the head of the Federal Reserve.  Earlier this year, I wrote about Ben and how some very smart investors (see David Tepper, Ray Dalio) were telling us that when the Fed 'makes it rain' it's our job to pick up the money and buy stocks.  We did just that and we've rode the stock market ALL THE WAY up to all time highs in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the SP500.

Here is where the war begins...other countries don't usually like when one country prints money because their goods become cheaper and the people across the world begin buying those cheaper goods and so far this has helped the US economy. So guess what they in turn do...THAT'S RIGHT, they sometimes do the exact same thing.  So who is ready for battle, see JAPAN.  They have an official that has promised to 'make it rain' at levels that only we've seen in here in America.  Here's why I find this interesting...and how we make money:


I'd like to think that I've learned a few things from that early lesson. If Japan is going to 'make it rain' then I want to buy Japanese stocks.  A nice way to buy international stocks is through an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which is a basket of stocks.

Free Pick:
iShares MSCI Japan Index (ETF)
NYSE: EWJCurrent Price as of 4/9/2013: $10.90-11.02
My last free play is on the simple fact that the value of things go down when there is too much of it out there.  Too many Japanese dollars means the value may go down. This is my preferred play...betting that the Yen will decline in value.  There is a "CURRENCY" war coming.

Free Pick:
ProShares UltraShort Yen (ETF)
NYSE: YCS
Current Price as of 4/9/2013: $64.36-65.35

You've asked for a few free picks...don't hate the game.
