The Russian PM Vladimir Putin seems to be looking to become the fastest politician in the world. His need for speed was fulfilled in St. Petersburg, where he took to the track on four wheels. He reached speeds of up to 240 km/h (150 mph) in a Formula One car, after a full safety rundown from trained professionals. This sudden interest in racing comes after Russia's successful bid to hold an F1 event after the Sochi Olympics in 2014. A deal for a Russia's first Grand Prix in Sochi was signed three weeks ago.

www.wealthcycles.com Mike Maloney was recently invited to speak at the 8th International Banking Forum in Sochi, Russia. The purpose of the conference was for bankers from around the world to meet and discuss the current state of the global economy, the banking system, and strategies for protecting their personal wealth (hence the speaking spot for Mike). The first morning passed without too much fuss as each speaker gave an introduction and a brief talk on his or her area of expertise. However, by the end of the day...it became obvious that something was definitely wrong. After speaking with many of the attendees, Mike was alarmed to find that practically none of the international bankers understood our present monetary system. Most had no idea how currency is created! Here at wealthcycles.com, we've often wondered exactly how well modern day bankers understand the worldwide predicament that we find ourselves in. Ladies and gentlemen, our worst fears have been confirmed - the lights are on, but there's nobody home. Mike's presentation on personal protection of wealth changed overnight, into one of basic education on our monetary system. How can anybody take the role of wealth protection (or running an economy!) seriously unless they can see the massive storm that lies ahead? Whether you are a banker or a baker, a lawyer or a bricklayer...the time to get educated is NOW. We hope you enjoy Mike's frantic effort to awaken the conference from its slumber. It would have been <b>...</b>
