For those growing up with music from the 60s, 70s and 80s,
today’s popular music scene certainly looks bleak.
The few corporations which control the radio waves deliver
plain vanilla, soulless sound that can hardly pass as music anymore.
But the truth is, music is not dead. You just have to search
harder for quality. It’s no longer mainstream.
The same goes for investing. There’s no more quality in the
mainstream.
In fact, in the world of mainstream investment options, just
about anything you can do right now is a dangerous, terrible option.
If you buy stocks in most markets around the world right
now, you’re buying at perilous ALL-TIME HIGHS. History doesn’t hold this
strategy in particularly high regard.
If you buy Western government bonds, you’re loaning money to
the greatest debtors that have ever existed in the history of the world
at pitiful rates that don’t even keep up with inflation.
Loaning money to the bankrupt government of France for an
incredible TEN YEARS will fetch you a laughable 1.26%.
In the Land of the Free, the US government is paying just
2.3% on its ten-year debt. Adjusted for both taxes and inflation,
bondholders are losing money.
Germany probably has the best deal. Right now if you buy
2-year German debt, you actually have to PAY THEM! Yields in Germany are
negative. It’s insane.
Even if you buy junk debt, i.e. you loan money to companies
that have a strong change of going OUT OF BUSINESS, you can only get 5%.
And if you do nothing more than hold your cash in a bank or
money market account, on a tax-adjusted, inflation-adjusted basis, you
are GUARANTEED to LOSE money.
You have better odds playing Russian Roulette.
In other words, if you do nothing, you lose. And if you do
just about anything, you’re taking huge risks… and you’ll likely lose
too.
What happened to the days when you could get a reasonable
amount of return for taking LIMITED RISK?
What happened to risk vs. reward? Now it’s all risk, no
reward.
This isn’t an investment environment. It’s a slaughterhouse.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
So what’s the average investor going to do?
Just like with music, you have to dig deeper to find
quality… look where no one else is looking.
After all, following the herd is never a winning, long-term
investment strategy.
But doing this is hard. And seriously time consuming.
This is why people often hire investment advisors—someone
who will live and breathe this stuff… who will spend every waking hour
searching for the best possible investment options and analyzing every
possible risk.
Problem is, this can be expensive. Plus in many cases your
investment advisor might not share your worldview.
In my mind, simple, safe, quality investment wisdom that you
can actually TAKE ACTION on shouldn’t cost a fortune.
And I’ve spent the last year trying to solve this problem.
I’m pleased to say that I’ve finally accomplished my goal.
To head up this new service, I’ve recruited my colleague and
top wealth manager from the City of London, Tim Price.
You hear from Tim regularly in these daily columns, and I
can honestly say he is one of the few professionals in finance who
actually gets it.
Tim sees the world for what it is. He knows these
governments are bankrupt and have no hope of paying their debts.
He knows that central bankers have destroyed the risk/reward
curve with the wall of money they’ve printed.
Yet he has the knowledge, professional experience, network,
and round-the-clock dedication to navigate successfully through
extraordinarily risky waters.
Plus he’s one of the most honest people I know. Tim manages
funds and makes investment recommendations as if it were his own mother’s
money.
He takes tremendous care and personal responsibility for his
every action.
I remember him telling me over drinks in London one evening
that “shepherding people’s life savings through a financial crisis is
***ing stressful.”
Bottom line, this is somebody that you want on your team.
I can’t stress that enough. And that’s why I wanted to launch Price Value
International.
Each month, Tim will deliver crucial intelligence,
education, actionable investment recommendations… plus his often
hilarious stories with trademark English wit.
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions-- to
directly access Tim’s keen investment mind.
Our goal? Help you achieve a healthy rate of return
without having to take on outsized risks.
And this is exactly what he has done already in the first
issue of Price Value International.
There are still pockets of value to be found around the
world that enable you to invest profitably while avoiding an exorbitant
amount of risk.
Price Value
International is focused on finding these
hidden gems and delivering them to you so that you can successfully
divorce yourself from the consequences of corrupt policies of heavily
indebted governments and central bankers.
I told you that high quality, safe investment advice
shouldn’t cost a fortune. We’re making it available at an absolutely
ridiculous price, at least for our limited inaugural offer.
In fact I’m quite certain you probably tipped your Starbucks
barista more last week than it takes to access Tim’s extraordinary
investment wisdom.
Sign up right away before you miss out on the inaugural
offer. Click here to get started.
To your freedom,
Simon Black
