Money and Markets: Investing Insights

21% Per Year

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Saturday, August 19, 2006 at 8:00 am

In a few minutes, I’m rushing to the airport for a weekend business trip.

Because of the latest terrorist plot and the long security lines, I’ve got to leave a lot sooner than planned. So my message this morning is very brief.

Here’s what’s happening and what I’m doing about it:

In Britain, the authorities are saying they’re aware of at least another two dozen terrorist plots, and they suspect there are many more they’re not aware of.

Iraq is coming unglued. Even the Pentagon now admits it.

The Iran crisis is about to explode again. The entire world is counting down to Iran’s self-imposed August 22 deadline to respond to the West’s ultimatum. That’s not exactly far away. It’s this coming Tuesday.

Even the so-called cease-fire in the Middle East could crumble. Hezbollah refuses to disarm. The Lebanese government won’t even talk about disarming them.

I fear this is a world that’s going stark, raving mad. And in this kind of world, you have to be cautious and flexible. So here’s what I’m doing:

First, I’m moving some more of my money into Treasury bills. No, they’re not yielding a whole lot. And no, they don’t protect me from a decline in the dollar. But they give me a bedrock of security and liquidity. The money is always there when I need it.

Second, I’m moving some more into the gold exchange-traded-fund, GLD. Investors have been selling gold this week. They think the cease-fire in Lebanon is a turning point. I think that’s a huge mistake. But their mistake is your opportunity — to get a better price.

Third, I’m doing something for you — for your capital that’s not for speculation, but also not just for stashing away.

21% Per Year

I want you to have the opportunity to make an average compound return of 21% per year, with solid risk controls, and at a cost that’s accessible to nearly all investors …

To use a strategy based on a fully documented track record of achieving the 21% average for the past 15 years …

And to use strictly exchange-traded funds (ETFs). No individual stocks. No options.

Twenty-one percent is a powerful number. If you had started with $10,000, that could have taken you up to over $209,000. If you started with $50,000, you could have over a million today.

Yesterday, I just finished a detailed report on how to do it. Plus, be sure to read the details on how the 15-year 21% track record was calculated.

I think you’ll find it quite amazing.

Good luck and God bless!

Martin
