Hello 10th Man Reader, I wanted to let you know that your offer to join Street Freak at a $1,500 (yes, $1,500) discount is expiring tonight, at midnight. After that, the price of Street Freak will go back up by $1,500… and The Contrarian’s Precious Metals Portfolio won’t be available at all. If you want all the details on my precious metals portfolio, you’ll find them here. If you’re ready and don’t want to miss out, here’s the link. I also wanted to take this chance to answer some of the questions you guys have asked me about Street Freak. Please do have a quick read-through and see whether Street Freak is a good fit for you—consider it the Street Freak personality test. Q. Are you always contrarian? We don’t follow the herd at Street Freak, which makes some investors uncomfortable. But as I told The Wall Street Journal last year, “Any strategy in the financial markets is fine when there’s a small number of people doing it, but when a large number of people do it, it can cause distortions.” We don’t do what a large number of people do. Q. I have an extremely low risk tolerance. Is Street Freak a good fit? If you’re super conservative, you should not be invested in the Street Freak portfolio at all. I don’t care if that loses me potential subscribers, because it’s the truth. And if you have a low-to-medium risk tolerance, you should dedicate only a small part of your investable capital to Street Freak (and maybe stay away from some of the more aggressive themes). With that said, while it’s aggressive, our approach is smart—I hate to lose money, and I invest accordingly. Q. How do I decide which Street Freak picks to invest in? Which sounds more appealing to you: a 57.54% return on a toxic, hated stock, or a 8.32% return on a solid, dividend returning stock? We’ve had both in the Street Freak portfolio. The first was HSBC Bank, which we bought after Brexit. And the second was German juggernaut SAP. So how it works is, you might decide that a trade like HSBC Bank just did not fit in with your investment goals. Or you might decide that SAP was a bit too sleepy for you. You decide. One thing you can be certain of is that whether it’s a higher or lower risk trade, I will explain everything clearly and concisely so you have the information you need to decide whether it’s a good fit for you. Q. How much time do I have to commit to Street Freak? It‘s not “set it and forget it” investing. Don’t get me wrong—I’ll do the hard work. But you will have to pay attention. Q. I like the Theme System idea, but I really don’t want to invest in precious metals. What’s the best option here? I encourage you to read The Contrarian’s Precious Metals Portfolio before you decide fully. I’m not indulging in hype when I say I haven’t had as much conviction on this since 2009. But if you do read it and decide against investing in precious metals… that’s fine. There are several more active themes in Street Freak right now for you to choose from. Q. Do I have to commit 100% of my capital to this portfolio? If you answered “yes” to this, we need to talk about your risk management strategy! This is a pretty active service, and we invest assertively. Nobody should have 100% of their portfolio in Street Freak. The point of Street Freak is to help you generate outsized returns without putting too much capital at risk. Most of your investing capital should be in the safehouse of ETF 20/20. And with this offer, ETF 20/20 membership is included. For as long as you remain a Street Freak subscriber, you will be an ETF 20/20 member… for free! That exclusive bonus also will not be available after midnight tomorrow, March 28. You can see more details here. Q. Jared, I’m still not sure. I have no desire to try and push you into a decision. I will point out however, that Street Freak comes with a 30-day Money Back Guarantee, so you can try it for a month and see whether it’s a good fit. A full month of alerts and access to the archives and current issues will likely help you be sure either way. And you can either continue your Street Freak membership, or get a refund of every penny you paid. I hope that helped answer most of your questions about Street Freak, and I hope to see you in the Street Freak community soon (before midnight tonight). Jared Dillian
