I have made a decision, my fear of the world, people who look different than me... people who have different faiths and political beliefs must surely all be out to get me.. no doubt. They are all in a global conspiracy to overthrow the government, deflower our virgins and irradiate my vegi garden.. o dear, o my!!!! so after listening to late night talk radio I bought a seed bank, yep noone can be too sure so I will dig my concrete bunker and climb down there and wait for the army of twelve monkeys. But don't worry when hell blows over I will have my seedbank to start over just dont come too close to my bunker or I 'll point my sawed off right at you and send you to another place for my fears have taken over and consuumed me. When God comes to my door I hope I may recognize him, and that my fears don't color my view, for my fears were just that all along, and the thing I feared was in me and not of this world nor Gods plan and love for me.

Dollar Will be "Utterly Destroyed": Strategist
Published: Friday, 6 Nov 2009 | 3:09 AM ET Text Size By: CNBC.com
The dollar will get "utterly destroyed" and become "virtually worthless", said Damon Vickers, chief investment officer of Nine Points Capital Partners.

"We don't have resources. Neither does a lot of Asia to be quite frank," Vickers said on CNBC's Asia Squawk Box. "Countries that have resources -- the Brazils, the Canadas, Australia -- their currencies are doing well."

Vickers noted that their stock markets have done the best year-to-date.



"They have stuff. They've got resources. They export real things. The United States exports 'promises' and 'pretty paper'," he added.


Due to the huge wage disparities between the United States and emerging markets like China, Vickers said that may resolve itself in some type of a global currency crisis.

"If the global currency crisis unfolds, then inevitably you get an alignment of a global world government. A new global currency and a new world order, so we may be moving towards that," he said.

Vickers added that this is the time where investors should be making money when the trend is developing.

"Oil looks higher, gold looks higher, currencies look weaker."

Biography
Damon Vickers was born in 1964 in New York City. He grew up in Kew Gardens Queens, New Haven Connecticut, and spent several of his childhood years living in the Buddhist monastery Odiyan in Sonoma County, California.
Vickers grew up living with his father, who rebelled against the wealthy New England background he was bred into. So Vickers was raised a non-conformist; a rebellious child who got kicked out of many schools. The father and son lived out of their car for a period of time, and Damon completed his homework assignments under the bright lights of supermarket parking lot streetlamps.
Vickers now runs his successful hedge fund NPM from Seattle, and lives just outside the city with his wife and three daughters.
Early career
When Vickers was 18, he got a job a Manny’s Music, a New York music institution. A top synthesizer salesman, he sold equipment to Will Smith, Cuba Gooding Jr, [http://en. .org/wiki/Usher_(entertainer) Usher], Pauly Shore, Annie Lenox, Carly Simon, and Iggy Pop to name a few.
It was while working at Manny’s that Damon had an epiphany: he wanted to get into the investment business. He was dating Russell Wight’s daughter, and while borrowing Wight’s car discovered a stack of stock confirmations from E.F. Hutton in the backseat. This was when he decided to take on the stock market. Vickers cut his teeth in the aggressive, rough and tumble world of Wall Street. After three months as a broker, he moved from a flophouse to a pent house.
He worked in a number of investment houses in the late 1980’s, when the NASDAQ was in its infancy, specializing in growth investing. He co-created the firm Parker Anderson, doing arbitrage and invested in takeovers and buyouts.
Current career
Damon Vickers has worked as a growth investor for more than two decades.
He was an early investor, building profitable positions in stocks like Cisco and Applied Materials. He invested in Starbucks when the coffee giant had a mere 150 stores, compared to today’s 16,000. He was an early investor in Amazon.com, Outback Steakhouse, Whole Foods and Timberland. By the time the Internet blasted into popularity, Vickers’ was already invested and making money.
Damon Vickers was one of the very few to call the top of the bull market in March 2000. He predicted the dot-com collapse. He warned investors about Enron. Sensing a topping market, he went on to call the second market top in 2008.
He launched his hedge fund, Nine Points Capital Management Partners (NPM) in 2008. The fund was up 63% its first year, profiting from the financial meltdown by shorting companies like GM, Lehman, AIG, and Countrywide. His investment style can best be described as “adaptive trend following” and he coined the phrase “Placing Capital in the Path of Social Change.”
