With Thousands of Investments Available Worldwide, You Can’t Afford to Invest Like Your Grandparents

Welcome to a special edition of A-Letter! Today’s comment is by Chuck Dolce, our on-the-scene reporter at the Offshore Advantage Academy on Paradise Island, The Bahamas.

Dear A-Letter Reader,

These days, you can’t afford to invest like your grandparents did 50 years ago.

Back then, they'd work for the same company their whole lives. They'd take a portion of their weekly paycheck and buy a couple shares of the company's stock with it. If they persevered, 40 or so years later, they had a nice nest egg.

That strategy simply won't work these days.

Today the tax code is almost incomprehensible. And while the talk going into next year's election is about as tame as it can possibly get, you just know that things are going to change dramatically. Things are about to change – and probably not for the better – depending on the political makeup of Washington for the next four years.

Our grandparents also had this wonderful thing called “Social Security” to help them in their golden years. These days, the Social Security fund is anything but secure. It's a black pit of government IOUs.

If you’re in your 40s or even early 50s, you can’t expect to see a penny of all the funds you’ve paid out for Social Security ever again. In fact, we’d all be nuts to rely on the government for any help in our old age.

The World’s Largest Stock Market
Won’t Save You Either…

Frankly, our leading experts are also getting a little bearish on the U.S. economy as a whole. The government overspends like a sailor on shore leave and just borrows and borrows to finance it. “Hey, can you spot me US$20 billion? I'm good for it...”

And the scariest thing is that there are people who insist on believing that they can do this forever. Or at least they act like they do.

They think the U.S. is still too much of an economic powerhouse to succumb to the excesses of borrowing and spending. But honestly, that can change too. Think about it. Some 80 years ago, Great Britain was the world’s dominant economy. That changed. It could change just as quickly for the U.S. If that happens, I want to be ready.

That’s why I’m here at The Sovereign Society’s Offshore Advantage Academy on Paradise Island, The Bahamas.

Leaving the Windy City Behind
for the Breezy Bahamas

Let me introduce myself. I’m Chuck Dolce and I'll be reporting to you on The Sovereign Society's Offshore Advantage Academy all this week. I've got to tell you I'm thrilled to be here – for two reasons.

First, I'm leaving the typically chilly fall weather of Chicago for the more pleasant climates of the Caribbean. And second, and more importantly, my investments definitely need a tune-up.

I've been looking at my own portfolio recently. And I'm not particularly impressed with what I'm seeing. I own a few stocks and funds that are doing nothing. I don't know about you, but I'm in my mid-40s and I'm starting to think about my future a little more seriously.

And I'm just not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

That's why I'm here on Paradise Island. I want to “see the light” so to speak. Looking over this week’s curriculum, I won’t be disappointed.

In the next four days, our offshore “professors” are going to delve deep into everything an investor like you wants to know about boosting and protecting your personal wealth. Starting with the very basics including: What is “offshore?”

After that, it's how to actually go about setting up accounts for offshore investing. Then it’s onto to the really good stuff.

An Entire Day Dedicated to Making You Money

They’re going to teach you where to put our money to get the biggest, safest returns. The second full day of the conference is dedicated to making money. Frankly, that's what I'm here for. If you’re like me, you want to know where you can find safe, solid returns. You know there are investments out there that will beat the market at home. And you want in on them.

After that, it's more or less what you can do with these newfound profits. The professors will teach us how to set up trusts and annuities which will safeguard our money until we’re ready to retire and enjoy it.

We'll finish up with a discussion on taxes and other offshore options including various asset havens. And something else. Dual citizenship. I know one or two people who have dual passports. It's a huge benefit for them. I never thought I'd be able to join their ranks but now it appears I might be able to. It's going to be all great stuff!

A Power Breakfast – Full of Must-Sees
for the Coming Week

This morning, I had breakfast with Erika Nolan, Executive Director of The Sovereign Society.  She's also one of the presenters here this week.

She confided that there would be a few surprises at the conference this week.

Namely a trade recommendation by Mike Burnick, Editor of Market Shock Trader, that aims to capitalize on the sub-prime crisis in the States. I've been reading all about it in the news. Seems that some major investment banks had a lot of debt on and off the books, and it’s about to go bad in the coming months.

It'll be a ride on the wheel of fortune to see who’s still standing after the dust settles. But Erika’s told me that Mike’s play will take the guesswork out of making money on the fiasco. With all those banks and brokerages exposed to so much risk, this'll be something to hear.

Not only will Mike reveal his key recommendation, but Currency Director Sean Hyman and Investment Director Eric Roseman will also give their top trade recommendations for the coming investment year.

A Special Offer for Our Valued Readers

Erika told me something else that I wanted to mention. The Sovereign Society is making an audio recording of the entire conference this week to give attendees as part of their package. Shortly after the conference ends, attendees will be able to download the recordings in MP3 format.

Or shortly after that, attendees can get CDs delivered to them. I thought that was a pretty nice bonus for coming down. Usually, you have to pay extra for audio or video after you attend something like this.

But the thing she told me that you want to know is they're also going to offer the very same package to you – one of our valued readers who couldn't make it down.

It's going to include every minute of every presentation that's given here. PLUS, they're going to throw in all the speakers presentations – their charts and slides – as well. It's like getting all the same information we are, without leaving your living room. (Although leaving home for The Bahamas ain't all that bad!) But to make up for missing out on the gorgeous scenery and weather, they're going to offer it at way a reduced price.

If you sign up now and reserve your copy of what I'm sure will be an incredible conference, you can get the MP3 audio for just US$127. If you want the CDs it's 20 bucks extra – US$147.

Plus you’ll get the presentation packages! Everyone down here paid something like US$900 for access to all this fantastic information. But they're making it all available to you for a fraction of the cost of the actual conference.

If the conference is anything like I'm expecting, I imagine the audio will pay for itself many times over. That's why I wanted to mention it to you. I can't imagine a better investment in your financial future. If you couldn't be here, for whatever reason, I urge you to jump on this offer. She said this offer would only be good for a limited time – until the end of the conference. So I'd suggest jumping on it right now.

Imagine, you're getting a US$900 conference that will help you protect your capital, ensure your privacy, reduce your taxes and potentially earn you who-knows-how-much – all for US$127. I love bargains and let me tell you, I think this is one to get in on now!

So while you may not be here enjoying the beautiful weather, I'm looking forward to giving you all the insight I can from the conference....

Cheers,

P.S. Just a reminder that the offer for the recordings is only good until the end of the conference. Don't miss the opportunity!
