| Hello Reader, We've entered a bear market, and I want to know... Do you have a plan to get through it? If not, I've laid mine out for you here. It'll take you about five minutes to read, but it could keep you from losing your shirt over the coming months. In mid-January, I just couldn't shake it anymore. It felt too much like 1999 (the cusp of the dot-com bubble) to be a coincidence. So, I took action. I signaled my Street Freak readers to cash out of every position listed in the portfolio that was growth and innovation (tech) related. Why? Because those were the types of investments that lost 90% or more of their value in the dot-com crash. The only investments that made it through, and performed exceptionally, were value investments. Value, resources, and commodities to be exact. So, that is where my conviction lies during this bear market—and my conviction is very high. Right now, the Street Freak portfolio offers 11 such investments you could enter into today. So, if you want to get positioned smartly and manage your risk… while the overall market suffers a major drawdown—then the Street Freak Portfolio may be what you're looking for. Step 1. Cash out of your growth stocks. Hold on to most of that cash. Step 2. Use some of that newly freed cash to buy into value, resources, and commodities with Street Freak. Sit back and watch the show. Now, it may seem uncomfortable to some of you to have uninvested cash on hand. But there are times when having a large cash position is THE SMART MOVE. This being one of those times. Why? Because cash is Opportunity (with a capital “O”). And after the initial big drawdown, a massive amount of opportunity will crop up—and at more attractive prices. It’ll be like shopping at Tiffany’s, but at 70% to 90% off. You’re still buying diamonds. When the coast is clear and these opportunities present themselves, I will signal you immediately. I got the dot-com bubble right. I was in value and I stayed safe and drew in a hefty profit, while others lost it all. In 2006, I wasn't so lucky. I made some mistakes. I knew that it was a bubble, and I didn't really de-risk because I underestimated how bad it would be. You think you know how bad a thing can get, and then... it surprises you by being worse than anything you could imagine. And because age is experience, I'm not playing with my money like that ever again. I'm writing to you today because I don't want you to lose your hard-earned investments. Trust your instincts, and join me and other smart investors like yourself at Street Freak. We will wait out this bear market in value and cash, and then take advantage of every opportunity it will offer (and there will be many).

Senior Editor, Mauldin Economics P.S. I don’t usually offer discounts. But we’ve all been through some pretty extraordinary things last year and this year, and I want to help as many people as possible. So, I’m offering a VERY big discount. Thousands of dollars off. The full discount is outlined in this letter (which you need to read anyway to find out how you could make it through the bear market unscathed). |
