Dear Reader, Since I first presented my thesis about a Melt Up mania in stocks back in 2015, the idea has gone viral. I'm proud I've encouraged so many people to invest (and stay invested) in the face of many volatile market swings over the last 5 years. I've even been accused of sounding like a broken record. But today, I'm worried my conviction about this bull market has made many folks complacent. There have probably been moments in the past few years that would have ordinarily spooked you from investing in the market. Maybe you saw that I was pounding the table about my Melt Up Mania thesis and it gave you the confidence to stay invested. If that's the case, then my message today is for you. You see, right now, a Melt Down is on the horizon. Now I don't think you need to go out and sell all your stocks right away, but I do believe it's time to make sure you have an exit plan in place. Now, if you follow my work, that's great. But I don't care what stocks you own or whose investment recommendations you follow... Please... if you don't know when you are going to sell your stocks, I urge you to watch this message. I'd hate to think that my pounding the table about the Melt Up all these years made anyone complacent about stocks that seem to keep going up and up and up. Don't fool yourself into thinking things will be different this time. The Melt Down is coming, and you need to be ready. I recently put together my own plan for when I'll personally exit stocks. And you should know, this same plan can work on any portfolio of stocks – not just my own. If you just do one thing in 2020 to improve your financial health, this should be it. Regards, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud
Senior Partner & Editor, Stansberry Reseearch P.S. I'm happy I've heard from so many folks who've told me how much they've profited from the Melt Up. Like Steve R. who wrote me, "I have followed your Melt Up comments for at least 6 months, and... I have a gain on my investments of over 40% so far this year." Or David M., who said, "Dear Steve, I've made close to 100,000 USD. I would have made more if I had acted when you first flagged some opportunities... Mea maxima culpa! David" But what would make me even happier is if I can help convince you to make a New Year's resolution today to come up with an exit plan for stocks. It's one New Year's resolution I know you can keep. Because it isn't anything hard like exercising or eating better or quitting smoking – the kind of New Year's resolutions people make and fail to keep all the time. It's ONE single step you can take now to make sure you hold onto the gains you've made in the bull market instead of watching them disappear. |
