Dear Reader,

Take a look at this picture of Enniskillen in Northern Ireland:

It looks like a sweet little butcher’s shop, right?

Look again.

The full and impressive display in the window is just a sticker.

In 2013, when the G8 summit visited Ireland, they needed to impress the international visitors.

So they covered empty or run down shop windows with stickers to trick visitors into believing a full and productive economy was at work.

In reality, Ireland was struggling with a deep economic depression, and 24% youth unemployment.

From a distance, it was a bustling business. But if you got too close, you might see the sticker starting to peel.

Right now, the sticker plastered over Australia’s economy is starting to do just that.

And I believe that when it comes down, it could be devastating for Aussies who haven’t taken steps to prepare.

Which is why I want to get this message to you.

For reasons I’ll soon explain, I believe this could catch our leaders by surprise.

So if you don’t take initiative on this…you might regret it.

Calculating Your Future Returns: The value of any investment and the income derived from it can go down as well as up. Never invest more than you can afford to lose and keep in mind the ultimate risk is that you can lose whatever you've invested. While useful for detecting patterns, the past is not a guide to future performance. Some figures contained in this report are forecasts and may not be a reliable indicator of future results. Any potential gains in this letter do not include taxes, brokerage commissions, or associated fees. Please seek independent financial advice regarding your particular situation. Investments in foreign companies involve risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Specifically, changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause a divergence between your nominal gain and your currency-converted gain, making it possible to lose money once your total return is adjusted for currency.
