I love the stories you’ve just posted to my blog about investors who used adverse markets to score big profits. Thank you!
Plus, I have one too …
Remember: My father, like his friend Bernard Baruch, foresaw the great bull market of the early 1930s. He borrowed $500 from my grandmother and bought investments that soar when stocks plunge.
By the time the market hit rock bottom, his $500 had grown into more than $100,000 — over $1.2 million in today’s dollars!
And later, in 1933, when nobody else would touch a stock with a ten-foot pole, Dad also spotted the bottom and bought GM, GE, AT&T, Sears and other great companies for pennies on the dollar.

My earliest memories are of the stories dad told about those days — and what he’d do to make money the next time we saw the kind of economic collapse we’re seeing right now.
Here are a few pictures I’ve collected that pertain to this topic. Dad is the young man in the top left photo. Bernard Burch, whom he worked with later in life, is to his right. In the bottom photos, Dad and I are talking about bear markets and how to profit from them — both on the way down and on the way back up.
With his help, I created an 11-point checklist of the strategies and tactics that we talked about so often — a comprehensive bear market approach.
So Here’s an Idea …
And the Question of the Day:
What if I held a free online event to walk you through my checklist — all the things I do to avoid investments that could blow up, to lead me to investments with the greatest promise, and to help grow my money even in the worst of times?
I’m talking about specifics: The rules I follow — to determine what I’ll buy or sell, to improve my timing, to lower my risk, and to boost the profit potential in bear markets.
If I showed you how I take each of these steps myself for my own money, would it help you make better decisions without having to rely on Wall Street? Could it help clear up the confusion and give you the confidence you need to make good money in this difficult market?
… And if not, WHY not?
I’m all ears! Just click here to share your answer with me and other readers.
Good luck and God bless!
