Why I’m Deeply Concerned and What I’m Doing

I’m deeply concerned about you.

For three years now, my team and I have faithfully warned you that this crisis was coming and we’ve kept you ahead of the curve each step of the way.

We told you what would happen, how it would happen and when. We showed you how to insulate your investments as each new phase of the crisis unfolded.

I am proud of our team â€” and if you acted on our recommendations, you deserve equal praise.

But now, this crisis is no longer just about the economy or the stock market or even your investments.

The game is changing. Investors worldwide are realizing that the government’s latest attempt at a bailout is simply too little, too late â€” and that this great crisis is about to affect each one of us at a very personal level:

It’s creating grave concerns about the safety of your personal savings and checking accounts.

It’s causing you to worry about the security of your brokerage account.

It’s raising questions about your insurance providers; whether your policies and annuities will be there when you need them.

It’s giving you nagging doubts about the safety of your money market funds, your retirement accounts and even the money you’ve socked away for your kids’ and grandkids’ education.

And it’s making you agonize over your credit; making it nearly impossible for you to get loans, lowering the amount available to you on your credit cards and more.

This crisis is no longer just about protecting your investment portfolio. Now, it’s also about insulating your family, your quality of life, your financial security, and perhaps even your ability to pay your bills.

To get these decisions right, you need honest answers to crucial questions.

This is a make-or-break moment for you.

With every new day, you’re being asked to make crucial decisions about your personal finances … about how to keep your money safe … about what you should be doing to hedge against what the President himself is calling a meltdown scenario.

That means, as this crisis continues to spin out of control, you’ll need more than prophetic forecasts. You’ll need frank, no-nonsense help to see how this crisis will most likely impact you and your family personally.

Unfortunately, Washington and Wall Street are not stepping up to help you through this.

It’s an outrage. But our political leaders and the CEOs of companies we invest in often seem to be doing their dead-level best to make sure you do not have the vital information you need to make those decisions wisely.

When the first subprime lenders collapsed, when the disaster spread to huge banks and Wall Street firms, and even now as the contagion infects dozens of other sectors, they still haven’t changed their ways.

This crisis has been consistently, deliberately and grossly understated by the President, the Fed chief, the Treasury secretary and every CEO of every failed financial institution.

That makes me fighting mad. I vow that I will not stand idly by while you make these all-important decisions in a vacuum.

I will not keep silent while you base crucial decisions affecting your family’s financial security on Pollyanna propaganda, spin and even outright lies being told by politicians, bureaucrats and corporate CEOs.

If Washington has proven anything, it’s that the ONLY way to make sure that your family is as safe and comfortable as possible is to take matters into your own hands.

So at noon on Friday, October 10, in a special Q&A Conference online, I’m going to help you do just that.

My team and I are going to give you the unhedged answers to the questions you are asking now.

When you register, you can tell us what you need to know: You can ask any and every question affecting your family’s financial survival and my team and I will pull out all the stops to make sure you get the clear, concise, actionable answers.

Just register for free and then use the handy form to ask anything you need to know to make the very personal, very practical, financial decisions you’re wrestling with now. For example, ask about how to …

Protect money you have in your savings and checking accounts,
Shield money you have in your brokerage account,
Insulate your money market funds,
Preserve your retirement accounts, pension plan and 529 college savings plans for your kids and grandkids,
Guard your investment in insurance policies and annuities,
Or whatever else has been keeping you awake at night!

You might ask, for instance …

Should I be using extra money to pay off as much debt as possible now?
What are the chances that increasingly desperate lenders and credit card companies might suddenly demand full payment on the money I owe them?
When lenders slash my credit limits, effectively making me 100% “borrowed up,” will that hurt my credit scores?
If my bank fails, could my accounts be frozen while the FDIC sorts things out? If so, for how long?
Is there a chance that Washington could declare a 1933-style banking holiday before this is over? How would nationwide bank closures impact my ability to get or transfer cash from my bank, ATMs and online? How much cash should I be keeping on hand NOW?
I’ve heard there’s a way to legally boost the FDIC insurance on my accounts by a factor of two, three, four or even more. True? Or false?
Is there a type of savings and checking account that guarantees you full access to my funds no matter what Washington does with the banks and thrifts? If so, what do I have to do to get one?
What happens if my stock broker goes belly-up? Could my money be frozen or vanish altogether? What are the risks that Wall Street does NOT want me to know about?
Does the Treasury’s new $50 billion “insurance plan” mean ALL money market funds are now 100% safe? Could my money market fund or my cash account at a broker still break the buck and actually reduce my principle?
How can I know if my mutual funds own things that are likely to destroy my wealth in a stock market meltdown?
What if so many people suddenly decide to dump investments, my online broker’s website is out of reach and they’re not answering the phone? Is there still a way to liquidate my mutual funds?
What will happen to my policies if my insurance company collapses? Will my annuities and my life, health and property insurance still pay off? Or will all the premiums I’ve paid simply vanish into thin air? What can I do to reduce the risk that this will happen to me?
Or anything else that occurs to you!

My team and I will tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We’ll offer practical solutions. We’ll even tell you whom to call and what to say to shield your money and your family as this great crisis continues to unfold.

As always, we must ask that you let us know you’re coming so we can make sure we can accommodate you.

Registration is free, easy, and takes only seconds. Plus, it’s the only way we can make sure you receive instructions for attending â€” and it’s the only way we can be sure to include the answers that matter most to you!

Just click this link now, give us your e-mail address so we can make sure you get your attendance instructions, and use the handy form to ask any question you have. When you click “submit,” you’re in.

My friend, this is a watershed moment for you, for me and for millions of Americans. What we do now to protect ourselves will make a huge impact on our wealth and our families’ financial security for the rest of our lives.

Good luck and God bless!
