Since I started investing in the stock market, back in November 2013, I have lost quite a bit of cash - approximately 60%. But since I found the secret to successful investing - only buy stocks that have a debt to equity ratio of less that 40:1 - I have reduced the overall loss to less than 25%. Also, the global financial system/banking industries are expected to totally collapse when confidence in the US$ collapses. When this happens, the US$ will go to zero and will take all other currencies down with it. This will cause all major banks outside of China, India and Russia to fail.
