Hello Reader, I don’t want to harp on this, but... The last thing I want is for you to be taken by surprise when the market takes a sharp downturn. No one likes losing their hard-earned money or watching something they took years to build get wiped out in one dramatic market event. That happened to a lot of people in 1999 and 2008, and I don't want it to happen to a single reader of mine. Trying to convince people of a market downturn—when everyone is making such easy money—is just as difficult as Noah trying to convince people a flood was on the way. And whether you are religious or not, you know how that story ended up. So, why am I concerned? After all, people are making some serious money at the moment. Here’s why: In March of 2000? The S&P reached its highest intra-day high at $1,552.87. Within a few weeks, the market lost 10% of it’s value and continued down from there… losing over 49% in the deepest part of the crash. Other indexes, like the NASDAQ lost a striking 78%. In October of 2007, the S&P hit its intra-day high at $1,576.09. In March of 2009, one year into the great recession it hit $666.79. That’s a 57.7% drop. I put this comic in a recent edition of my newsletter, The 10th Man. I don’t know if you saw it, but it illustrates what I’m trying to communicate---> The call to prepare yourself for pandemic induced euphoria bubble popping will fall on many a deaf ear. Call me stubborn. I’m telling you anyway. I’ve been through two sharp downturns as an investing professional—I know the signs. And I don’t want to see anyone I know lose their hard-earned money if I can at all help it. So... That’s why I’m urging you to take advantage of the 30-day, risk-free trial I’m offering for Street Freak. Not only have we removed all long-growth, and tech/innovation related, investments… we’ve stocked the portfolio with ONLY investments that thrived through the last two downturns: value, resources, and commodities. I said in an email earlier this week. Step #1 is keeping your shirt. Step #2 is knowing when to profit. There will be companies that don’t recover from this downturn. That’s always the case. We don’t care about those guys. We will be investing in well-established companies that are all but guaranteed to bounce back when the market recovers—and we will be doing so at some very attractive price points. Inexperienced investors pile in at the top, get burned, and don’t buy at the dips. We aren’t children. We are selling at the top, biding our time, and buying at the dip. There are a lot of newsletter guys out there who wouldn't let you in for a full 30 days to look around and see all your research. After all, you could go in, download everything, and ride off into the sunset. I don't really care if that happens. I wish those people the best. At the very least, they'll avoid losing their shirt in this bear market. Can't say how they'll be fairing 24 months from now, but that's on them. The people who stick with me do so because I offer them high-conviction investing ideas that seek high returns—all adjusted for risk. And when the market is choppy, or turns into bear food, I show them how to take advantage of it. I look around the corner for my Street Freak readers and let them know what's coming—and I want to do the same for you. You've read my plan, and if you're reading this email, it probably means you agree with it. But just as I wouldn't suggest anyone sink $1,495 into an investment without seeing the research—I won't insist you pay $1,495 without seeing behind the curtain. Which is why I'm offering the 30-day test run. I only put out calls to join Street Freak when something noteworthy is happening, otherwise people can join if they want or pass me up. A bear market is definitely noteworthy. So I laid out my plan for both surviving it and profiting from it in this letter, and am inviting you to join me. If you're still thinking about it, that's fine. But you only have 72 hours left to act. Use this link to join Street Freak and lock in your 30-Day Test Drive. Jared Dillian Editor, Mauldin Economics P.S. Here's what a normal member pays for Street Freak for one year: $1,795. Two years is $3,590. You won't be paying that if you join Street Freak today. Far from it, actually. If you join me for 12 months, you get 45% off. If you want to join me for 24 months, you save 58%. Huge hunk of money off. I'm doing this because I want as many people as possible to get positioned correctly NOW. So, I'm not messing around with puny discounts. JOIN HERE. |
