Our emergency video, “The 11 Laws of Bear Market Success,” is online at this very moment and available for your immediate viewing.

My advice: Given the drama of the events swirling all around us, don’t procrastinate! There’s simply no time left to postpone firm action! Everything we’ve warned you about is now striking — and with great speed.
In fact, Washington and Wall Street have suffered so many shocks so quickly, some highly respected voices of pessimism are now louder than mine:
- Presidential Advisor Paul Volcker laments that industrial production is falling more quickly — and in more countries at the same time — than during the Great Depression;
- Renowned investor George Soros compares this crisis to the fall of the Soviet Union; and
- Moody’s now predicts corporate bond defaults rates will surge higher than in the 1930s!
But while the nation’s experts are belatedly experiencing a rude awakening, I have turned my attention to helping YOU get through this crisis with more than you have now — with a war chest to pick up 100-year bargains in the next recovery … and with a plan to turn the worst possible crisis into the best possible opportunity for yourself and your family.
That’s why I’ve just held our emergency video conference online. And that’s why I think you must watch it before it’s too late.
I have no doubt there WILL eventually be a recovery. But the staccato of shocks from all corners of the nation this past week also leaves little doubt that America’s Second Great Depression could be worse than the 1930s:
Shock #1. Economy collapsing beyond government’s control: The collapse in U.S. GDP — at the annual rate of 6.2% — is so much worse than the U.S. Commerce Department’s earlier estimates, it raises serious questions about the government’s ability to track the economy, let alone control it.
Shock #2. Consumer spending cratering: The Commerce Department also reported that orders for U.S. durable goods fell for a record sixth consecutive month in January — and that the decline was more than TWICE as large as Washington had predicted.
Shock #3. Pink-slip plague — 667,000 Americans being laid off PER WEEK: In the third week of February, 667,000 families lost their paychecks — 36,000 more than the week before and the biggest surge since 1982. More than 5.1 million Americans are now on unemployment — an all-time record high.
Shock #4. GM in its death throes: General Motors has reported $30.9 billion in losses for the year, effectively wiping out the federal aid it’s received so far. But GM’s planned cuts — 47,000 jobs this year, five more plants over the next three years and the shutdown of major divisions — will simply not be enough to stop the massive tide of red ink.
Shock #5. Obama’s $1.75 trillion deficit: Washington’s red ink for 2009 is FORTY-FIVE times larger than GM’s last year. The $1.75 trillion projected deficit is 12% of GDP, meaning Uncle Sam will be increasingly challenged to save his own financial neck before anyone else’s.
BOTTOM LINE: We are now in the midst of an historic economic collapse and bear market with no end in sight.
As prudent investors, this simple fact gives us only two choices:
1) We can abandon all hope of growing our wealth — sit on the sidelines and pray that somehow, miraculously, the bottom will come soon and we’ll be able to invest again — or …
2) We can simply change strategies — abandon the bull market investing rules that are bankrupting so many investors today and begin applying the laws that let us harness the power of this great bear market to keep our wealth growing.
For my own money, I’ve chosen to do the latter. And judging from the outpouring of gratitude from readers who’ve seen our video, I am definitely NOT alone.
In it, you will learn:
- The 11 rules I use to identify profitable bear market investment opportunities: How you can confidently get off the sidelines and get your money growing again.
- Hundreds of opportunities to make money more quickly than in virtually any bull market: Including six types of prudent investments that offer you substantial profit potential right now.
- Why following bull market rules at a time like this is a recipe for disaster: How big mutual funds, financial planners and Wall Street brokers have dumped pure garbage into your portfolio.
- Why many of the investments you may think are “safe” are really not. Why “too-big to fail” banks, “insured” municipal bonds, and junk bonds masquerading as quality bonds — are little more than ticking time-bombs set to blow your portfolio apart at virtually any moment.
Fair warning: So much is happening so fast, we will not be able to leave our video online for very long. If you wait, you could miss it.

Good luck and God bless!
