The Architects of Destruction and D-O-O-M

Hi All,

A Web Letter called Energy and Capital has been sent to me almost daily for 4 months. Don't know how I got on their list but they have some interesting items.

Website: [link to www.energyandcapital.com]

Two recent articles show names and faces of the scoundrels who stole the Economy.
Part 1 The Architects of Destruction,Dec 4, 2008 named 1 to 5
Part 2, The Architects of Destruction Jan 10, 2009 6 to 10

Also at the end of the second article, there are some predictions as to the next round of D-O-O-M.

They of course are trying to sell your their Stock Buying Tips but I don't understand how they make money on a Down Market unless they are selling short.
To me, this seems just like a quarterback betting against his own team and then throwing the game. Anybody clarify this?

Happy reading to all the D-O-O-M-rakers.

'cause we need it.

"Doomsday Shockers" # 1, 2, 3
Here's How the Next Round of Profits Will Go Down

Doomsday Shocker #1: Hold onto your seats, because part two of the housing-credit crisis begins in April 2009. So you have to ask yourself... Will you be well-positioned for it, or will you be sitting with the sheep in the wolf's den?

You see, Alt-A loans were given to borrowers with credit score between 600 and 720 and included the option of interest only loans, option ARMs, and no doc loans that require little or no documentation. What's particularly concerning is that 90% of these borrowers that got an Option ARM in 2006 provided little or no documentation. And it's estimated that only 60% of them make minimum payments.

This will spark round two of the crisis, as waves of foreclosures wash out what's left of the banks, lenders and homebuilders that are left standing. Trust me, more banks will fail... and we'll be right back to square one in the financial crisis... with not a financial bailout dime to spare. And, just like before, the Options Trading Pit team will be capitalizing with major profits in put options... gains we expect will range from 100% to 200%.

Doomsday Shocker #2: Think Round One was tough on the homebuilders? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Homebuilders, especially the big luxury builders, will fall the hardest -- and the quickest -- as foreclosures mount and glut builds. Need proof? Kimball Homes just filed... so did Dunmore Homes and Woodside Homes. They couldn't handle any more of the pressure, and neither can some of the biggest builders.

It's just a matter of time. In fact, we're only a few months away from this wrecking ball. And we'll jump on each profit scenario at precisely the right time... showing you the way to score massive gains, week in and week out.

Doomsday Shocker #3: Credit card debt's starting to resemble the mortgage debt problems at the core of our financial meltdown. And the last thing the financial sector needs to feel is further squeeze, as Americans have accumulated some $970 billion in revolving consumer debt since the end of September 2008, up 3.4% from the close of 2007.

Sure, the credit card industry is typically resilient during our economic slowdown, thanks to pricing flexibility. The prevailing premise has been that -- as the economy sours and consumers become late on payments -- credit companies can boost earnings through late fees and higher interest rates. But consumers are tapped dry. Defaults are growing. Charge-offs has been pushed well beyond expectations. And losses are far outpacing what companies were hoping to account for with extra card fees and higher interest rates.

Bottom line: Each of these 3 "Doomsday Shockers" are about to go down, one by one. The global financial crisis is ensuring it. And each shocker will trigger a series of trades with unfathomable profit potential... opportunities not likely to be seen again in our lifetimes.

The timing on these trades, of course, must be perfect. And that's where we excel... to the tune of a 68% average return on closed trades. And we're doing it in an average of 10 days.

So when the opportunities arise to profit -- from financials and homebuilders to credit cards and auto maker and service companies, the Options Trading Pit crew wastes no time getting to the goods.
