The Federal Reserve cannot be the lender of last resort to all nations near and dear and to all major US and international employers. President Obama’s 20 economic advisors will not accomplish anything real. The Federal Reserve under Bernanke has entered dangerous territory that up to now has been the bastion of academics.
As the world turns to the Fed to be bailed out, the question will soon be who will bail out the Fed. The answer is clear - no one. The US dollar is in grave danger due to this shift to so far failed (Japan) academic solutions. In truth, all other solution are failing as well.
This situation is bigger than the US Federal Reserve. The US Federal Reserve cannot accomplish what they have undertaken. If you don’t know that you simply lack a calculator with enough zeros.
The US dollar as the common share of the USA cannot enjoy a bull market while their balance sheet is being torn to shreds.

Consider that Gold ETFs fit into the confiscation scenario assuming such a draconian act could actually be taken.
Look for juniors that have strong characteristics of selection. These include juniors with strong management with proven track records that are willing to fight for their shareholders, ones with proven resources in the ground, ones that operate in politically sound countries, ones with no derivatives exposure and ones that have internal financing already in place. No we cannot provide you with a list - this is up to you to research on your own.
