Mike’s Editorial

Mike’s biggest concern regarding your personal finances and what you can do about it – before it’s too late.

You Can’t Afford to Miss This

Look, we all know that past success in investing doesn’t guarantee future returns. But have you seen some of the results from last year’s World Outlook Financial Conference? I mean c’mon! Take 2 minutes and check out some highlights from 2020. Then you’ll understand why I say you can’t afford to miss our 2021 keynote speakers and industry experts on Friday and Saturday.

If you haven’t purchased your codes there is still plenty of time. And just a reminder that the new online broadcast format means you can log on anytime Friday and Saturday to watch the scheduled presentation (full agenda here) AND be able to watch everything that has been aired up to that point. PLUS every pass includes unlimited access to the on-demand archive – so no matter what your schedule Friday and Saturday everything from the broadcast, including ALL our industry workshops, will be accessible starting Sunday afternoon.

There are speakers I invited because I want to hear their global market and economic forecasts to understand the potential impact to my long-term financial health. There are speakers I invited because I want to hear specific stock recommendations that I could add to my portfolio Monday morning! And there are workshop speakers who will show me opportunities in Precious Metals, Small Cap Stocks, Real Estate, Private Equity and Money Management Services.

The 32nd annual World Outlook Financial Conference broadcast starts at 4:10pm pacific time Friday February 5th, 2021. I hope you’ll be there! (well, not really there – from the comfort of your home, in your favourite chair, in your cozy clothes, with a cold drink and snacks at hand – you get the idea.) CLICK HERE to order your access pass.

All the best.

This was the inevitable culmination of a process which started back in 2014 when as we reported at the time, “China Readies Digital Currency, IMF Says “Extremely Beneficial“”

Fast forward a few months when China’s preparations to rollout a digital yuan gathered pace, and we reported in October that China was poised to give legal backing to the launch of its own sovereign digital currency, “cementing its trailblazer status in virtual currencies far ahead of other countries, after already recently experimenting with large-scale trials of actual payments by consumers, which was met with mixed results.” Specifically, the South China Morning Post reported that “The People’s Bank of China published a draft law on Friday that would give legal status to the Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) system, and for the first time the digital yuan has been included and defined as part of the country’s sovereign fiat currency.”
