Money and Markets: Investing Insights

Shutdown! The Big Losers and the Big WINNERS!

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 7:30 am


Martin Weiss

We can’t extend this deadline beyond today for the simple reason that the landmark events we’ve warned you about are now happening — ALL AT ONCE!

Specifically …

We warned you about Washington gridlock months ago. Now it’s here in aces and spades — in the form of a massive budget battle, despite the last-ditch deal to avert a government shutdown.

We told you that the government’s giant debt monster would chew up our nation’s financial health, wealth and wisdom. It’s doing just that as we speak!

But, alas, our most shocking warning is the one that average citizens understand the least: The collapse of the U.S. dollar!

That’s a great shame because among all the losers in this great government debt crisis, the U.S. dollar is clearly the biggest of them all.

Just this week, for example, the dollar plunged to new, multi-year lows against the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.

And now, the ENTIRE U.S. Dollar Index — representing the dollar’s value against ALL of the world’s six major currencies — is a meager five points away from its lowest level in history!

Why? Because global investors see the mess Washington is in. They know how impossible it has become for our leaders to tame our debt monster. They remember how the same thing happened to Greece, Ireland and now Portugal. Plus, they remember how much money they lost in those disasters!

So now they’re dumping dollars with both hands. Who can blame them?

Meanwhile …

The big WINNERS are all those assets
that naturally surge when the dollar falls.

For example …

  • Gold is exploding higher, quickly closing in on the $1,500-per-ounce level.
  • Silver has busted through the $40 level — doubling in the past seven months alone.
  • Crude oil has jumped by more than $10 per barrel in just over a week. On Friday, it surged to over $112 in the U.S.; $126 in Europe.
  • The dollar collapse is even inflating U.S. stock prices — especially those tied to resources or benefiting from booming currencies and economies overseas.

So as a cautious investor in these troubled times, you have two choices:

You can run from the dangers and hide. Or you can take prudent precautions … and then …

Turn these dangers into the greatest
profit opportunities of our lifetime.

Yes, the Middle East is a tinderbox with riots and revolutions spreading like wildfire through the world’s richest oil producing nations … and with Iran working around the clock to develop nuclear weapons. That’s clearly cause for grave concern.

But it’s also a giant dynamo that’s driving hundreds of billions of dollars into our favorite investments — not only oil and gold, but also a wide range of stocks that produce them.

Europe is on tenterhooks — Portugal, Ireland, Greece and other countries already bankrupt or on the brink, barely kept alive by massive cash infusions from the European Union and the IMF.

But that’s another POWERFUL reason why huge sums are flowing into our favorite investments — not only into the strongest emerging markets like Brazil and East Asia, but also into U.S. companies with big business overseas.

Here in the U.S., our federal government’s colossal debt is beginning to implode, raising the threat of repeated government shutdowns as Congress debates both the 2011 AND the 2012 budgets this year.

But that’s why “Helicopter Ben” Bernanke and his Federal Reserve are printing paper money like crazy, inflating asset values all over the world even MORE!

Bottom line: These dangers are actually the best news imaginable for certain types of stocks and ETFs — provided you choose the right ones.

This is why our readers have sent us countless emails and blog postings literally begging for a prudent way to take full advantage of the huge profits being earned in U.S. stocks right now … WITHOUT risking huge losses in an overall market decline.

So is there a sensible way to make money in U.S. stocks in times like these?

ABSOLUTELY!

FIRST, throw out the garbage: Avoid low-quality stocks — companies with low or no earnings, second-rate growth, and debt up the wazoo. If you own stocks like these, dump them immediately. Only a financial masochist would hold them at a time like this!

SECOND, insist on the very best: Consider ONLY the cream of the stock market crop — stocks that BENEFIT from this type of crisis, with growing revenues and profits … a record for increasing their dividends … and a proven record for surviving even in the worst of times.

AND THIRD, stay flexible: Play declines with inverse ETFs that have the power to hand you $1 … $2 … up to $3 for every ONE dollar that the overall market or individual sectors fall.

The million-dollar question:

How can you know with confidence which stocks you should be dumping right now — and which ones offer you the greatest profit potential with the lowest risk?

My answer: Simply by using the 100% objective stock ratings I personally designed for this very reason!

I lay it all out for you in my just-updated presentation,

  • I introduce you to what may be the single most powerful wealth-building tool we’ve ever created: The 100% objective stock ratings I personally designed in 2001 to help you invest confidently and earn substantial profits in troubled times like these.
  • I give you the time-tested strategy based on these ratings that you could have used to beat the S&P 500 by up to 10.5 to one for nearly ten years: That’s enough to turn a $10,000 investment into as much as $56,780 — or $100,000 into $567,800 despite TWO of the most damaging bear markets in U.S. history.
  • I tell you what to sell immediately to avoid huge losses: I name more than two dozen household name S&P 500 stocks that have earned our lowest ratings and that I’m convinced are set to wipe out up to 97% of your money.
  • I name today’s ONE DOZEN HIGHEST-RATED S&P 500 stocks: The kinds of stocks that could have helped you earn $4.48 for every $1 the average investor earned since 2001, through good times and bad.
  • And I show you how I’m putting my money where my mouth is: My wife Elisabeth and I are so confident that our top-rated stocks will outperform the S&P 500 by up to 10 to one even in these troubled times …

We’re about to begin investing
ONE MILLION DOLLARS of
our own retirement money
using
this strategy and these ratings!

Plus, I show you how — in order to help you harness every profit opportunity I find — you can get a 24-HOUR HEADS-UP before I buy or sell anything …

And to give you total transparency, how I’ll publicly post my actual results: Each trading confirmation and statement that my broker sends me!

But remember: It’s crucial that you get this information immediately for THREE compelling reasons:

Good luck and God bless!
