\nThere\u2019s
\na good reason why many contracts have Force Ma<\/i>j<\/i>eur<\/i>e<\/i>
\nclauses written within them. This safeguard is in place to limit the
\nliability of one party from another, in the unlikely event that an
\nodd or unforeseen act occurs, which may hinder or limit the
\nperformance of the product or service being purchased.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThese
\nindispensable additions rarely, if ever, come into play, but
\nnonetheless are notable mainstays within such legal documents. So
\nmuch, in fact, that no competent businessperson will ever disseminate
\nan agreement without one, and if they hire an attorney who constructs
\na contract with its absence, he or she will be justifiably shown the
\ndoor, with the fastest and most immediate of haste.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThis
\nseriousness is warranted because although rare, if<\/i> these
\ndisasters take place during the duration specified within the
\ncontract, the financial fallout to the proprietor could be
\ncatastrophic; resulting in their entire enterprise being at risk. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nInvestors
\nshould also approach these possibilities with such caution, and seek
\nto employ defensive strategies to protect their portfolios from the
\ndownside caused by these so-called \u201cacts of God\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe Gold Standard<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nEvery
\ninvestor should have a portion of their portfolio invested in gold as
\ninsurance against life\u2019s rare events. When unforeseen acts occur,
\nour basic instinct is to flee to safety, and there are very few
\nsafer havens out there than that offered by this precious metal. Gold
\ngenerally trades in an inverse relationship with the market, which
\nmakes it an ideal choice during odd occurrences. As the equity
\nportion of your portfolio heads downward, your defensive strategies
\nshould promptly kick into gear, and gold should lead the way as a
\nprimary counterbalance to help offset the losses experienced during
\nthese uncommon events.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThey’re Called Staples for a Reason<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n <\/span><\/span>
<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nEven
\nduring life\u2019s oddities, particular items can, and will, be
\npurchased. One can\u2019t imagine being forced to remain in their
\nresidences for prolonged periods of time without certain products on
\nhand to help make their necessary exile as comfortable as possible.
\nThis is where consumer staples comes into play, and highlights
\nexactly why they should be a compulsory part of your defensive
\nstrategy. Coupled with other creature comforts like cell phones and
\nwifi access, your portfolio should experience sharp upticks in these
\nsectors during such times. The result being, that these securities
\nare likely to provide a much-needed ray of hope amidst an otherwise
\nbleak accounting of your remaining investing prospects. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nOddities
\nare categorized as such because of the infrequency by which they
\ntranspire. While their appearances are noticeably rare in number, the
\nfact that they ultimately will<\/i> occur is not in question, with
\ntheir materialization being simply a matter of time. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nFurthering
\nthis line of logic concludes, that if an event is assured to take
\nplace, it\u2019s equally prudent to ensure that we adequately prepare<\/i>
\nfor its arrival. Whether our eventual rendezvous with these rarities
\noccurs today, tomorrow, or even decades in the future, protecting
\nourselves from the disastrous ramifications which they are likely to
\nproduce, must not escape the scope of our investment strategies.
