No, Make That Something “Historical” Is Happening
- The 5000 year bottom in interest rates is in
- The 35 year bull market in bonds is over
- The Brexit vote & Donald Trump’s victory confirm the beginning of a major change in politics
- The Dow Jones has exploded to new highs since Nov 9th
- Gold has broken down
I’m sure you’re busy. I certainly am given all the happenings in the economy and markets but what’s going on is so incredible that it merits my time in bringing it to your attention. From Uber testing self-driving taxis in Pittsburgh to over $1 trillion in bond losses in the last two weeks. And then there’s the devastation to emerging market currencies and emerging market bonds.
Donald Trump’s victory was just one more sign of the kind of historical changes we’ve predicted at the World Outlook Financial Conference and on MoneyTalks since 2009. Everything’s on schedule – lots of money is going to be made and lost.
What’s about to happen is going to make the last five years seem tame. My goal is to make sure you are protected and profit financially. Unfortunately the vast majority of people won’t be. Just look at the beginning of the unworkable pension mess in Dallas, Chicago and Puerto Rico. Consider that Illinois’ pension liability is now 280% of its entire annual tax revenues. This is not going to end well.
Neither is the European Union with its $2.3 trillion in negative interest rate bonds. Mark December 4 on your calendar as the Austrians vote in a presidential election, while the same day Italians vote in a referendum on parliamentary reform. Both votes have become a proxy for anti-EU sentiments. The Italian Prime Minister has said he will step down if the referendum is defeated.
As we’ve been predicting on MoneyTalks since 2010, the European Union will come apart and the financial repercussions are huge. We’ve been saying that playing the euro to go down (first recommended at 1.54 to the dollar, now 1.06) was a fundamental long term position – hence it was to be sold on any rally. (Hint: there’s more to come and the US stock market will be a major beneficiary.)
The euro recommendation illustrates the approach we take at the World Outlook Financial Conference and on MoneyTalks. You start by getting the big picture right and then devise strategies to take advantage of it.
Right now we are seeing that approach validated by what’s going on in the gold market. Contrary to the vast majority of analysts, my guess has been that the big move was still two years away and that there would be another major buying opportunity when the US dollar tops. Today’s break below $1200 greatly increases the probability that scenario is forthcoming. I will explain that in more detail along with Martin Armstrong at the Outlook Conference.
That’s what I love about investment markets. You don’t have to be good looking and charming – you just have to get it right. In the end there’s no BS, no stories, no excuses – just results.
And our record at the World Outlook Financial Conference speaks for itself.
Our #1 recommendation since October, 2012 has been to put between 30% and 50% of your money into the US dollar. At the same time we recommended quality dividend paying US stocks and real estate in the Phoenix area.
We warned of the drop in commodities including gold when it was still $1800. Heck we even held a special conference warning of the drop to below $1100.
At the Outlook Conference in early 2014 our energy analyst, Josef Schachter stood up and warned, when oil was well over $100, that it was about to decline to the $32-$34 level. He still think there’s a washout to come in December. He will be at this year’s Outlook to discuss where the bottom is and how to play it.
My Point
Brexit and then Donald Trump’s victory were clearly predicted by the incredible Martin Armstrong at the World Outlook Financial Conference, and he will be back to lay out the path going forward. This year’s conference will focus on how you can profit by understanding these trends.
Every year our specific recommendations pay for the price of a ticket several times over. Keystone’s Ryan Irvine will be back to present his 2017 World Outlook Small Cap Portfolio. While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, it is impressive that the Outlook Small Cap portfolio has achieved double digit returns every single year. We’ll talk the loonie with James Thorne and Martin Armstrong, real estate opportunities with Ozzie and Jeff Olin, gold with Mark Leibovit plus a range of essential personal finance mini seminars.
My Point
Janice, I want you to come to the World Outlook Financial Conference. I want you to bring a young person (free for the first 100 with the purchase of a ticket.) Why? Because we’re living in a time of historical change. Textbooks are going to be written about this period. People who don’t understand what’s going on are going to get killed financially. Of course they already are. Companies have been devastated. So have countries.
I not only think we can protect you but that we can make you a lot of money. If anyone took our numerous recommendation to move money into the US they’ve done well. It’s not that tough if you understand what going on. So I hope you make time to come.
Then again, maybe you’re not interested – and believe me I get that. Maybe you are already on top of things. Maybe there’s something good on tv. I have no idea. All I know is that periods of historic change provide incredible opportunities and incredible danger.
All I’m trying to do is help you avoid the danger part and take advantage of the opportunities.
The World Outlook Financial Conference is on Friday Feb 3rd and Saturday Feb 4th at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver. I have spent a ton of time on the Conference program and sincerely think it is the most interesting – dare I say entertaining – and valuable we’ve ever done.
For tickets and other details go to www.moneytalks.net and click on the events button.
I hope to see you there.
Sincerely
Mike
PS. My team has put together a fabulous VIP package again this year. I’ll just mention one of the eleven bonus items. VIP ticket buyers will get a special report from Ryan Irvine on an under-utilized, but incredibly valuable investment option called a Dividend Re-Investment Program. His DRIP report sells for $499. VIP buyers get it for free!
Finally
As you may know I am hugely interested in educating our younger generation and to that end we have a special offer – if you buy a ticket – you can bring a students absolutely free. The only thing is that we ask you to let us know that you want a student ticket when you purchase your ticket. We have a limited number set aside and we want to be able to accommodate you.

The 2018 World Outlook Conference |
Since its founding in 1990 the World Outlook Financial Conference has been dedicated to one goal – to help individual investors make more money from their investments. We have achieved that goal by offering access to the world’s best independent financial analysts. Analysts who have exceptional track records in forecasting market trends, recommending specific opportunities and warning of impending dangers. Last year’s Conference was no different.

John Johnston PhD. @ Davis Rea
“I expect a $0.10 – $0.15 rally in the Canadian dollar. And when we get close to $0.80 it will be time to buy the $US.”

Mark Leibovit @ vrnewsletters.com
Precious Metals – “I’m looking for silver to hit the $18 – $30 range…. I like gold and would use the Swiss Gold Physical ETF SGOL.”
Amazing Stock Picks – “Freeport McMoran (FCX)… 3D Printing (DDD)… Las Vegas Sands (LVS)… Wynn Casinos (WYNN)… Raytheon (RTN)… Taser Industries (TASR).

Martin Armstrong @armstrongeconomics.com
On Brexit – “They’re just going to vote to get out – that’s it. The euro experiment is a complete failure.”
On Trump – “He is not a fluke, he’s not going away and he will win the Republican nomination… he is a symptom of a collapse in confidence in government.
On Debt – “I would move out of government bonds altogether and get into AAA corporates.”
On low interest rates – “It’s created a pension crisis that that will impact every Western nation. But is ignored by all of them, left or right.”

Josef Schachter @ Schachter Asset Mgmt
Must Buy Stocks – “Birchcliff @ 2.85… Pengrowth @ 66.00… Enerplus @ 2.60… Surge @ 1.40… TransCanada and Enbridge + a host of others.”
