| Dear Reader, Welcome to Day 3 of Action Week, with me, Kevin Brekke—editor of Rational Bear and Mauldin Economics managing editor. Yesterday, my colleague Robert Ross walked you through a step-by-step video guide on the options strategy he uses in In the Money. He was right on the mark when he called it a “heads you win, tails you win” strategy. Today, I will show you exactly how to use options another way: to protect your portfolio in the event of a big market downturn. That’s one part of our mandate at Rational Bear. It’s a vital step that every serious investor must take—especially in today’s market climate. I was surprised to see that 71% of those who took our recent Investor Survey said they didn’t have any type of portfolio insurance. That’s when I knew it had to be my Action Week message. Please click the link below to see my action plan to guard your wealth. It’s available for the next 36 hours only—so there is no time to waste (in more ways than one). Access The Time to Insure Your Wealth Is Now If you’re not sure if you need portfolio insurance, you should know the following: The number of market corrections has so far more than doubled this decade over the last We have yet to see a bear market this decade (but at some point we will get another one) If your portfolio is insured, you can potentially cut a big loss by 65% If you don’t have portfolio insurance, you will be mauled sooner or later—and more likely, sooner. The market will not care if you are insured or not. As always, I welcome your questions or comments. Please leave them below the presentation. Tomorrow, we wrap up our Action Week series with Transformational Technology Alert editor Patrick Cox. Patrick will give you a fascinating update from the leading edge of the biotech revolution. Plus, he shares the details of one of the companies he follows in TransTech Alert. Lastly, I want to say what a great pleasure it’s been to work closely with all of the Mauldin Economics editors on this special two-week event for you. In my many years as managing editor for Mauldin Economics, I have seen up close how successfully our editors work as a team. I’m pleased that this special event has given you the chance to see what I see every day. And, to benefit from the great analysis and actionable insight that flows when all of the editors get together.
